My s550 when driving would suddenly give a malfunction signal. I took it to the dealer, service replaced the 2 front struts. Now the call will give a signal, red letters, "do not move car" and the entire strut system will stop working and the car body is virtually sitting atop the tires. This after replacing the 2 front struts! The dealership seems to be at a loss and i can't even get them to return my calls. I don't think it is a strut problem but a computer glitch. I don't think it was necessary to pay for the strut replacement. I would like my car fixed or a refund.
