The most common failure is broken wiring at the air suspension compressor which is located in the drivers side wheel well area under the plastic paneling in the wheel well.
The wheel well sits to close to the wiring for the exhaust valve in the compressor,then the air builds up lifting the vehicle like this and cannot exhaust it out to lower the vehicle.
This is a very common failure and I believe this is most likely what you have at fault here.
The correction for this problem is to replace the wiring and connector for the air compressor.You have to purchase these parts from a dealer in order to complete the repair.
