Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The compressor and/or suspension air bags for the electronically controlled air suspension system began to periodically fail to raise the rear portion of the vehicle. The problem continued to occur periodically especially when the temperature fell below 35 degrees which made me suspect whether the system was built to withstand cold temperatures over a period of years. Currently, the compressor and/or suspension air bags does not appear to be engaging consistently. I have heard this problem from envoy and trailblazer owners as well. Thank you for looking into this problem.”
