06 Car Rides Like A Jeep

Oh no, I din't think this happens in the 06's. There's no unusual sound from pump, no signs of leak, nothing seems out of the ordinary. I checked and replaced the relay with one I bought during my 2000 years. What next?

You should check with the shop. Look like your valve control block might be malfunction, which cause the suspension to go w/ max pressure, and therefore create that Jeep ride & warning message.

Get it fixed before the suspension go toast.

I was under the impression that the valve control block is an ABC item only.

Not sure what the deal is with this problem. I changed the relay again to another relay and let the car sit overnight. This morning I drove for a good three hous and about 100 with no error message. I can't get an appointment till Friday so we'll see what happens.

Please don't tell me so. I was under the impression the 2006s were perfect.

things happen. Might have just been a glitch.

I have a rule when it comes to these things.

If it happens once, reset and watch it like a hawk.

If it happens again, take it in.
