Driving my Mercedes cl55 amg, heard a pop sound got out looked around saw nothing arrived home parked auto overnight next morning a large leak which appeared to be some type of fluid under the engine of the vehicle. Contacted Mercedes benz was told recall was issued but not for my VIN# or vehicle year. Auto no longer under warranty and Mercedes will not consider repair the car under the recall issued for the 2004 year. Cost to repair vehicle 3500.00. *tr

Abc - active body control - system is a continuous risk to all mbenz owners. All discussion boards, owner's forums, etc. Will list the various trials and tribulations with the suspension doing any number of actions from completely lowering the car to the bump-stops to eliminating all suspension dampening which is what happened to my car while driving. The suspension being controlled by this extremely advanced system is then completely unpredictable and handling characteristics suffer immensely. I personally got off the highway quickly and drove to the nearest repair shop, but it could have been much worse with varying road conditions, speed, driver ability, etc. The further concern is the outrageous and extremely out-of-touch repair bills mbenz will charge for a system they know is DEF
The active body control is off terribly. The front left and back right sides of my car sag so low but the opposite sides don't. This can cause an accident etc.. *tr
The sbc pump stop working causing the brakes to not work this is a very dangerous defect in there design and I could see if causing an accident and injuries. The manufacturing knew this was a defective design and had offered an 10 year warranty but I feel it should be replaced on all cars that have an sbc pump, I was traveling 65 MPH on the freeway when I had to apply the brakes and the brakes did not work if it was not for my quick thinking and being able to switch to another lane there would have been a major car pile up with who knows how many injuries. *tr
