Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON A CITY STREET IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES AN HOUR AND THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION DEFLATED AND THE REAR OF MY CAR WAS LAYING ON TOP OF MY REAR TIRES CAUSING THEM TO RUB AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE REAR WHEEL WELL. AS I TRIED TO DRIVE OFF THE TIRES WERE GRINDING UP AGAINST THE INSIDE OF THE WHEEL WELL. I LET THE CAR SIT AS I WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES AND WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR THE REAR SUSPENSION INFLATED IT ONCE AGAIN. THEN BEFORE I COULD MAKE IT HOME THE REAR AIR SUSPENSION DEFLATED AGAIN WHILE IN TRAFFIC SO I HAD TO PULLOVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALL FOR A TOW TRUCK AGAIN. AS I WAS WAITING FOR THE TOW TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 40 MINUTES PAST AGAIN SO I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE REAR SUSPENSION AND INFLATED PROPERLY AND THIS TIME I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR HOME AND PARK IN THE GARAGE. WHEN I CAME OUT TO THE VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY AND STARTED THE CAR THE AIR SUSPENSION IS NOW WORKING JUST FINE BUT I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE IF THE AIR SUSPENSION DEFLATES AGAIN I'LL BE STUCK IN TRAFFIC SOMEWHERE.
