Strange Airmatic Malfunction
Hey guys,
So I’m lowered on adjustable links In the rear. Everything has been completely fine. Drove the car about 50 miles yesterday with no issues. Today I woke up to the car sitting on the rear wheels on both sides. Took it for a spin around the block and ride is STUPID bouncy in the rear. So much that I’m scared the car will go into limp mode. The suspension button is also stuck in sport mode (one light on) Of course I googled it but I can’t seem to find any helpful info.
Does anyone have any idea what could possibly be wrong?

Check and make sure your links did not come loose.

You have a leak in the airmatic system ... well described on this forum

MBWorld Fanatic!
Airmatic...it's the weakest link in this otherwise solidly reliable car. Luckly only the rear has it. MB really needs to get with the program and jump on the MagneRide wagon.

Crisis averted 
The adjustable link broke so the level sensors were going haywire. I managed to pop the broken link back on and I have new metal ones in the mail.
