Unhappy *REPLACE COMPRESSOR FOR AIR SUSPENSION

I received a message on my car saying STOP VEHICLE CAR TO LOW....On JULY 19, 2013 MB replaced...(so they say)

-fuse link

-relay

-compressor

all costing $1150...Now its 1 month later and I see the message again along with a air noise....This can't be real...Everything goes wrong with this vehicle...every time you turn around...cam plugs, window remote down...(window won't role down) I had to replaced both passenger and driver window remote....twice

I'm a female... I've had enough...I brought this S550 2007 back in 2006...I tell you...it's nothing like my old E500

I would suggest you to change the garage, not the car.

Sounds like you have a leak in one of the air springs, which made the compressor fail. A new compressor is not the correct (complete) fix.

I'm not sure about the window remote, what are you referring to but it could have been a SW bug, to be fixed with a SW update (I think there is a technical bulletin on that).

Hard to say since she was only on this board for less than 2 months and hasn't been back in almost 4 years.
