hmm, thats wierd, i havent heard anything like this. you cant really lower the car, the car will lower itself if you go over 65 mph i believe, you can only raise it. i dont know why the sports mode is on all the time, hopefully your dealer might know, GL

i see, are there any malfunctions on your gauge display? sounds kind of serious if your hydraulic pumps or whatever arent working, if you have an extra car, i would drive that, the last thing you need is that your suspension fails, and you hit the ground. i would call the dealer and ask them to tow it , GL man, sorry about the problems.
