Suspension Blown!!

So I woke up this morning and my car is slammed onto the wheels. Does not raise up at all. I can't even turn the wheels in fear of damaging the fenders. I'm getting it towed to the dealer. Anyone have this problem? Hope this is fixable. Luckily, the car is still under warranty.

Is your car lowered? If so, I hope the dealer doesn't say that was the reason. Good luck with it, btw car looks great

That stinks, never heard of anything like that happening before. Let us know what the dealer thinks the problem is. Good Luck!

curious to know what method you used to lower your car that might have cause the problem.

Have you eliminated the obvious, like a blown fuse?

This reminds me of a problem a friend had with his Lincoln Conti ... one of the air shocks had a slow leak. The motor had to work overtime to keep it pumped up and as a result would reach the fuse threshold and blow. Replace fuse and he'd be good for another few days.

I'd rather have the ability to drive it onto a flatbed, then have them drage it on slammed.

All of them
Is it just the front or the rear sitting on the ground or both? If the fuse blew, its a pretty big 40amp fuse and if that happends either the pump is toast or the wiring harness is rubbing on the frame where the wires go to the pump. If its just the the front or rear either a leaking strut in front or one of the rear airbags is leaking. let me know. Ive been a mb tech in souther cali for about 5 years now if you were wondering and thought i would throw in my two cents
