ABC problem: Bad strut
Anybody else have problems with the car settling down after leaving it over night and getting the Red "vehicle to low""do not drive" warning the next day?
I've been and finally found out why, I have a bad strut which is being replaced tomorrow.

I recently had an ABC problem as well at 3900 miles on my SL65. Five days in the repair shop and all is well. It had a leak in the valve and/or strut as well. One day I parked and the front end was above a concrete curb and when I returned to the car the front end was resting on the curb. I raised the car and then backed out (fortunately I noticed it before I got in and drove away). There was also a message to go to the workshop shortly thereafter.

I've had the ABC dump it's hydraulic fluid over the road twice due to leaks, different fault and symptom (completely undamped, was like driving on a trampoline), but same underlying problem - a leaky hydraulic circuit.
