Q: The air suspension system has stopped working.

asked by on January 06, 2017

For two or three days I've been getting service air suspension messages And the vehicle has been slow to lift from parking light. Today the system stopped working completely. It will not lift from parking height at all. Setting very low in the front. Still getting air suspension service messages. The ride is also very rough, heavy/increased road feedback from front tires.

My car has 58000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
