Q: Back air shocks drop, car too low warning

asked by on August 30, 2016

I have a constant issue with the back air shock that keeps dropping down. The dashboard starts showing the "car too low'' warning illuminated in red as well as the "stop" warning. I went to the garage and the mechanic had the compressor and relay replaced. On another occasion, the fuse was replaced. The car can run well for several days until the whole thing occurs again. How can this be fixed permanently?
