You have the same service advisor as me?
Mine started like yours and within 2 months, it went from an occasional warning message to an almost daily warning message.
Such things rarely just go away on their own, as dealers suggest.
I'm glad they finally fixed it.

Since getting my car i've gotten 7-8 check engine lights in about 6 weeks and they still can't figure out the problem!!

Hey guys, I just got this same thing. It was a particularly cold morning, about 37F, and I got a car wash. Right after, I got the malfunction message. Suspension raising doesn't work, but no corner seems low. I'm going in tomorrow so I'll update my experience for future reference. I for one, will not live with it. I can't raise the car if I need to, so to me, that's broke!

Oh no, another airmatic malfunction. Maybe they should just make the back two corners same as the front two.

These jack pads are a work of art.
This probably would not work whatsoever, but it could. I use this system for jacking my 4runner up when im dug deep in sand while in Baja.

Good idea but definitely don't want to be under the car with that thing as the only thing supporting the weight.

agreed, would give you enough room to throw some jackstands under though.

So just got a call from the dealer. The air compressor was failing and was struggling to build pressure. They replaced it under warranty. I have just over 59K miles and have a MB factory warranty I got from Tim Sorrick at Modesto European Motors in Cali. Best 3k I've ever spent!

It's a good feeling when something like that happens when you had bought the warranty, because you know it has more than paid for itself already. So I guess the airmatic can fail around that point in time...4 years, 59K miles.

So for how many miles and years does your coverage extend to? I have the 7 year/135K miles on mine.
