2012 GL450 Suspension

I was putting in garage yesterday and heard this loud burst of air leaking, like a tire blew. But not tire, it came from front of car. Any ideas what this could be? Thanks

Has either side sagged? Sounds like a blown air bag from the suspension. Plenty of information on the subject to be found.

do you notice anything wrong?

otherwise it sounds like normal venting of the air block.

Happens Ned all the time

My GL do that all the time. The air is releasing to adjust height. If nothing sagging its pretty normal. It usually happens when I park and as I was walking away from the car.

USAA or Carmax. With Carmax, you have to buy the car from them. On a NA gas GL, I would save your money. They are very reliable and the main issues like suspension are cheap and easy to replace.
