drive dynamic seat problem

Hey guys!

I have a 2010 S550 4matic with 12k miles....Driving from work today heard a popping noise in the L drive dynamic area and the left side bolster stopped working. I can still here the hissing sound when trying to adjust side support but nothing happens on the left. When you make a right turn no support on the left either. Could it be that that bladder popped or something? and if so, is it a PITA to replace? I had these seats in my 06 E55 and never had any issues with them, even close to 100 k miles

Thanks!

the air bladders in them do tend to leak. i have had this problem on my previous 2010 S. the dealer will replace all the bladders in the seats for free. good luck

Thanks! Do they have to remove the seats/backs of seats to replace the bladders or is it less involved?
