Air suspension failed twice in one week. Had to replace air bag both times. First repair failed after two days. Dealer blamed on bad part. Second replacement ok. Also had heated seat repaired (not uniformly heating) and engine light was on due to faulty particle sensor. All good now. All under warranty thankfully!
