Air Ride Adaptive Suspension failure in cold climates?

Agreed - not sure that I have seen another one like that - I originally posted the pic. My (now former) Yukon is the one to the right. I drove by the lot this evening - two more added to the waiting-for-parts pile - five weeks and counting for repair parts. I sold mine back to a GM dealer last week. It is an interesting world for sure - drove it a year and it was still worth more than what I paid (including the lost sales tax). Now, I am patiently waiting to see whether German engineering can live up to its reputation (I know that is naive). Anyone know if there’s a board for MB GLS450’s!?! Take care.

Sooo. Had a GLS 450. Air suspension worked great, both hooning around and towing our 26' TT. But I was definitely concerned about repairs, aaand it burned our garage down, so no more Mercedes for me. Plus, no more diesels in the Benz. The LM2 is a frigging dream, exhaust leaks not withstanding. Dying to get my Derringer.

Sorry to hear of issues with T1XX air suspension. Thank God I didn't pony up for it. I, too, was apprehensive. I do want to get some air helpers, though.

According to the TSB, was resolved by new front air spring seal design; and in production starting Dec 2021.

So far my air suspension has been trouble free; I’m in MN, have seen our share of cold this year already.
