Back air bag behind driver lost air while driving. Took in to repair they thought it was air line. They repaired but same thing happened leaving repair shop at an intersection. All the light turned on to stop driving just like before. I towed back to shop.they said the whole system needed to all be replaced.my only reason to file this is the fear I had of getting hurt or hurting other by my vehicle just being undrivable while in motion on major intsection.this problem occured before but always when leaving my home so id just wait for the air suspension self correct. Which it had before.I was only going 15mpg or so when it gave out I was approching my right hand turn. We are available to help with more details and documentation if needed.

Car started reading SRS airbag malfunction (still needs to be repaired) car is sometimes unable to read how much gas is in the vehicle. Car couldn't pass emissions. Check engine light on.the car smells of a strong gas odor. Unable to park the car in the garage because of the strong smell. Every time the tank is filled with gas the car presents a strong gas odor until it gets below half a tank. Mercedes wanted to charge me $4000 to have it fix so I took my car to a foreign car repair shop who charge me $1,300. Problem fixed, however I recently took my car to Mercedes because my check engine light came back on so they charged me $2,100 to fix that along with regular maintenance.

The SRS, (supplemental restraint system) or "air bag" light illuminated, caused by the srscontrol unit experiencing an internal electrical fault. The fault displayed code 9120. Mercedes vehicles of this year and model are known to have air bag wiring harness issues. Even though my issue wasn't the harness itself, it presents a flaw resulting in a safety and state inspection issue.
