| Description of the problem | 2008 tahoe ltz - automatic load leveling air suspension in the rear is pressured up so high that it is as if there is no suspension in the rear. It will not adjust to lower pressure. This is very dangerous. On the highway saturday, a road that i have traveled many times in another vehicle, i ran over two small bumps and the rear end of the tahoe bounced off the road. Had i not correctly corrected i may not be writing this. Again, this is a very dangerous defect. I will take the tahoe in to michael chevrolet tomorrow morning and hope they can correct this. If not, chevrolet can have the tahoe back. I sure as heck will not be diving it in this condition. |
