SUSPENSION
10/17/201048700
 Normal driving, then suv became very bouncy. air suspension system failed causing default to highest suspension level. no suspension characteristics at all going over bumps or making turns. the whole car would shake and bounce over any slight imperfection in the road. the car felt like it would tip over going around turns. first time this happened at 10,000 miles. at that time the dealer replaced under warranty the rear sensors that had failed. bought the car back to the dealer today. they confired that one of rear sensors have failed again and both of the front sensors have failed. car has 48,700 miles.
