Suspensions/ Ride height issue
Guys,
I think I may be having a suspension/ ride height issue. The back sits lower than the front and when I push the suspension buttons, nothing happens. I must say sometimes when I park the car, I hear a hiss sound from the compressors but not anymore. I am hoping this issue is nothing but a bad fuse. Oh and I don't have any codes. The only thing I see sometimes is when you get in the car and see the error " Please wait- Car is rising" then it goes away. Any suggestions ??

Airmatic issue, probably the pump. With the older models there was a relay that would go bad and burn out your pump, not sure if they fixed that but odds are it’s something to do with the pump.

I would think there’s an issue with your airmatic system. Do you notice the car “sagging” when parked for extended periods of time? Does it sit lower on either side? I had the same issue, where my car would drop in the rear over long periods of time. It dropped slightly lower on the left rear side so I figured it would be a bad air bellow on the left. Replaced the rear left air bellow with an arnott bellow, and the problem has since disappeared. Hope that helps!

Update! I bought both rear struts and a compressor by Arnott that cost me about $1200. Labor was just $447. After installation, My ride height is pretty high now and the issue seems resolved..Except that when I change the suspension setting from the car, nothing happens (It stays high). So the issue could be a bad relay or issue with suspension control module. However, I know that my pump by arnott (about $660) came with a relay. I am not sure if the mechanic saw that and installed it but I will check tomorrow and update.
