Same 2018
I've done a lot of searching and can't seem to find it happening to anyone. Thank God my extended warranty from Freedom has the suspension upgrade so everything should be covered 🙏🏾

This kind of sounds like a drive belt broke considering the ac died as the same time I am gathering.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
Hopefully it all turns out well. My Warranty is only good until Jan 1, 2025 so I hope if something like that is gonna happen on my 2018 it's before then, lol. The belt makes sense, as I remember the MBC pump is driven off the power steering pump. MBC is actually relatively reliable. I've only had one issue with my car and it was lower on the passenger side than the drivers side, it was a bad sensor.

Actually the MBC pump was one of the expensive things that went bad on my 16 Maybach in the 60k mile range. Cost me a few thousand dollars.

Wpuld I be able to drive it still if it were the belt?
I should also mention that I realized the air wasn't blowing cold when I turned it on from the gym. It blew hard just not cold. I pulled out of the spot then the first suspension malfunction light came on. My car was raised and automatically went down to normal level. As I was driving home, the suspension malfunction stop light came on and my car dropped almost to the ground. I was close so was able to get it home.

With ac failure and airsuspention not working anymore at the same time i would assume it is 'only' a belt that broke, however, depending which one and where it is situated it can still be costly, it is an S-class after all. Just hope 🤞🏻nothing else was driven by it and is damaged!
