Consumer Description

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY THE AIR SUSPENSION FAILED CAUSING THE REAR OF VEHICLE TO DROP TO AND UNSAFE LEVEL. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE COMPRESSOR REFILLED THE SUSPENSION BAGS BUT WHEN PARKED AND NOT DRIVEN FOR ANY PERIOD OF TIME THE AIR BAGS LEAK DOWN CAUSING THE REAR SUSPENSION TO DROP DOWN AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS NOW AND I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT AND UNCOMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ONLY 50,000 ACTUAL MILES AND HAS NEVER BEEN USED FOR TOWING. *TR
