Consumer Description

MY RAINER STARTED TO LOOSE AIR IN THE REAR SUSPENSION, AIR RIDE SYSTEM. AT THIS TIME THE COMPRESSOR WORKS AND DOES FILL THE AIR RIDE SUSPENSION BUT YOU CAN'T BE IN A HURRY TO GO ANYWHERE. YOU MUST LET THE CAR SIT WHILE RUNNING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES BEFORE YOU CAN LEAVE. IF YOU DON'T, YOU BOUNCE DOWN THE ROAD AND THAT COULD BE A DANGER TO YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE ON THE ROAD, I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY LOCAL DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO CHARGE ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS SOMETHING THAT GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF UNDER A SAFETY RECALL SINCE IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW. MY CAR ONLY HAS 70,500 MILES ON IT. *TR
