Once Your Jaguar Reaches 100,000 Miles, Big Repairs Are Imminent
Air Suspension Has A 100% Failure Rate, Don’t Get Caught By Surprise!
It’s not a matter of IF your air suspension will fail, but WHEN. And when it goes, the ride height will drop three to five inches, leaving the vehicle virtually impossible to drive. It’s a very unpleasant surprise with repair costs soaring upwards of $7,000 to $9,000 for Original Equipment parts and labor. Here are some warning signs your air suspension is going bad:- Suspension warning light is on
- Vehicle ride height lower than normal
- Abnormal or loud noises coming from the system
- Excessive vehicle body lean when cornering
A Failing Air Suspension Might Be The Most Expensive Repair You'll Face
Why Does Air Suspension Fail On Your Jaguar?
Jaguar vehicles with an air suspension system operate with the aid of a computer. Air springs made of rubber and plastic support the weight of the vehicle, instead of steel coil springs used on most vehicles. The computer processes information from sensors located throughout the vehicle and tells an onboard air compressor when more pressure is needed in the air springs. An electronics failure can shut down the system. But the most common failure happens when tiny cracks in the rubber air springs slowly leak air from the system. The air compressor runs excessively to try to keep the air springs filled and eventually shuts down. Without pressure, the air springs collapse and the vehicle suspension drops from three to five inches. This will leave you stranded on the side of a road, needing a tow truck and expensive repairs.
