| Description of the problem | Back air bag behind driver lost air while driving. Took in to repair they thought it was air line. They repaired but same thing happened leaving repair shop at an intersection. All the light turned on to stop driving just like before. I towed back to shop. They said the whole system needed to all be replaced. My only reason to file this is the fear i had of getting hurt or hurting other by my vehicle just being undrivable while in motion on major intsection. This problem occured before but always when leaving my home so id just wait for the air suspension self correct. Which it had before. I was only going 15mpg or so when it gave out i was approching my right hand turn. We are available to help with more details and documentation if needed. |
