Another Suspension Fault

[HOUM_WA]

You guys are backwards.

rsauer, your "issues" of sporadic settling are normal. The LR3 has automatic leveling and does what it wants...it's normal. Don't mess with it or worry about it. Also; you do not "put mine in extended height mode." Unless you are using a jack or other obstacle to high-center yourself.

gdlife's issue, if he's using terms correctly is not simply one of him driving above the speed allowed for off-road height or access height and it returning to normal. He/she is referring to a fault. An amber or red icon that illuminates on the dash and the info center reads "suspension fault" and gives other info.

gdlife....? Is this indeed what is happening? Or are you just getting a "bing bong" tone and then the car tells you that it's going to normal height? Please clarify.

I do wish you kids would read the effing manual...

My bad on the extended height issue - though you can set extended height without selecting an off road setting - to clear an obstacle, it does so note it will auto return to normal when you go a few miles an hour.

Thanks for the warm fuzzy on the settling though, I saw nothing on that in the manual. I just bought this LR3 used, an 06 and still have some warranty - frame on the rear (2nd row) seats busted so it will go in for those when they come in, and want to combine the now needed alignment (new Pirelli's) with that repair and anything else that is evident.

...my point is that you cannot simply "select" extended height. I know you can force your LR3 into Extended Height by intentionally lowering it onto an obstacle.

Good luck with your warranty stuff.

I also got the suspension fault warnning. And I took my 05 LR3 to dealership, the charged me $1,100 to fix it, I don't know why it's too expensive. Any one has this experience?

Wansn't it under warranty? I had about 12 months worth of Air Suspension failures. Luckily it was under warranty at the time:
