Add me to the list of air suspension failures. I noticed the drivers' side(rear) was a little low for a few days ago last week. Then as we were driving to VT this weekend the service air suspension warning went off. I pulled over, shut off and restarted the engine, as per owners manual, but the warning came back on. Just to see what would happpen, I pressed the height control button. The air system kicked in and even corrected the leftward sag, but it never completed its cycle and the light continued to flash and suspension came back down. Left side was low and right side slightly lower than usual.
Anyway I rationalized that the body was not resting on the tire and the air cushion was not the only element of the suspension system so why not go skiing. It's not like I was going offroading. I probably drove about 400 miles on it and do not feel any other elements were damaged by what I did. Do to the super snowstorm I also had to lock the transfer case a couple times to get through the deep stuff. Overal the ride without the air suspension was bouncier.
I got it to the shop yesterday, I hope it won't take to long to get back. I really can't understand how this could make a tranfer case go unles the body sank right down onto the tire.
