What to do if your tailgate is not opening?
Started having problems with tailgate – it’s not opening (can hear the motor working, hatch releases and then shuts/locks again). Was sporadic, now it’s not opening at all and I have to use the inside lever to manually open it. Someone suggested cleaning the door jam and lubricate the hinges/all areas. That worked for a few days.

What causes a Mercedes Benz GL450 to sag?
Some might see evidence of suspension failure from the outside. One common example is the car sagging low in the rear. You might also find your GL450 leaning to one side.

I wasn’t able to come up with anything (online or otherwise) so I resorted to the dealer.

A repair quote that made you do a double take probably accompanied that recommendation. The reality is that air suspensions are highly complex and therefore expensive systems. They rely on a web of interconnected parts working together in order to function properly. Your Mercedes-Benz GL450 has ride height sensors at each wheel.
