Air springs leak and compressors wear out. ABC (Active Body Control) hydraulic systems on sport models are even more expensive to repair. Cars sag on one corner and throw suspension warnings.

The V6 and V8 M273 engines can suffer from balance shaft sprocket wear, which alters engine timing and can lead to catastrophic failure if not caught early.
