Suspension message!! Advise needed???

Suspension message!! Advise needed???-image-469240577.jpg
Just took of the 20s and put back stock wheels back because roads in NYC got so bad dont wanna screw up the wheels. I swap the wheels drive the car around my block and no issues. I let the car sit for two hrs and then go for a drive and this malfunction message pops up. Cant get rid off it. And advise what could be a problem here?

Reset it by unplugging negative from the battery for about one minute. See if that helps.

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
Better print out that pdf service bulletin that is around on here somewhere and take it with you to service. You sure don't want to wait until it sinks so much that wheel wells sit right on the wheels. I haven't had that message since I took it to service armed with that pdf. Yeah, they had to replace a bunch of parts, including the bellows.

It seems like I am reading more and more issues owners are having with their rear air suspension. I don't know if it's a poor design, inferior parts or some combination but I hope MB has it squared away by the time my new wagon arrives.

I think the issue was the cold in NY. I didnt drive the car almost for a week. It was sitting in the cold garage. Today only in the morning the malfunction massage popped up but then after lunch i drove car all day and everything was fine but still going to a dealer tomorrow.

Airsusprnsion has had issues since always. Our w220 gets leaky shocks or bad compressor. Time plays a factor. Obviously not ideal in new cars
