| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Problems with the airmatic suspension. The hydraulic system malfunctions and causes your vehicle to lean to one side at this point your turn radius is hindered severely. You also now are only able to drive at a low rate of speed,so hopefully you are not on a major highway when this happens. I know 3 different persons besides myself who have had this issue, and thankfully this major malfunction has not caused any traffic/injury incidents. This seems to be a major flaw in which can cause serious repercussions. *js |
