“The air suspension randomly stops working. I purchased truck less then a year ago. I figured it was due to the cold weather we get in colorado. However I drove the truck to florida. Halfway there the suspension stops working. Makes a very bumpy ride, and very uncomfortable and painful. Also I managed to get pulled over in dallas and accused of a dui because I was unable to maintain a lane. Due to the suspension being messed up. Is there a fix for this”
NHTSA complaint #11406822, filed 2021-04, 89,000 miles“I bought this truck used several years ago. The air suspension on it fails randomly, especially in cold weather. I just had the air compressor replaced in it and it failed again within a week. It happens most often when stationary, but I have had it fail on the highway when going 65-70 MPH. Normally the rear drivers side falls to entry exit level and other corners stay up, but I have had several combinations of front and rear corners fail.”
