“We own a 2006 Gmc Envoy Denali Xl we notice that the vehicle's rear suspension air ride air bags were deflating.know it got worst ,they deflate while driving, once they deflate completely while driving it makes it very dangerous to drive because all the weight sits on the back of the vehicle,whitch makes the front very light and the vehicle trends to glyed side to side .just last nite comming back from dinner the bags deflated while driving at 65 MPH almost lost control of the vehicle because it stated glyding side to side.is anybody out there with same vehicle and similar issue?”
