  Shortly after purchase the dash board begain to display warning lights. Then suspension warnings. The pump for the air bag suspension stopped working. The cars ride height was bellow the bumpers & seemingly had no shock activity. I stoped driving it because it said i could cause extensive damage if it continued to be on the road. I replaced the pump/compressor & it appeared to have been fixed. About 3 weeks later, the same thing happened & the new compressor stopped adjusting ride height. The car us currently not drivable. It has been parked until I can resolve this reoccurring problem.
