NHTSA Investigates Mercedes S Class Sedans

The Office of Defects Investigation has opened a preliminary evaluation following complaints of failed air suspension in some Mercedes Benz S Class sedans. According to the reports, the suspension failed allowing the body of the vehicle to contact the tires making it very difficult to steer the vehicle. This could cause a loss of control and potentially cause an accident.
