Problem Reports

Haven't fixed it yet. In fact I only recently became aware that the air compressor was not coming on when I started the car. (The compressor does activate when I turn it on to use it as a tire inflater.)

My air ride compressor went out, wish they made a way you could manually air up til repair.

Every 2 or 3 days my car will have sagged overnight, sometimes it will raise once I start the ignition and other times it will stay sagging for the entire day. It is very irritating because the truck will drive so raggedy.

it doesn't work any more

Looks like I will have to having mine replaced because the back is sagging badly. Does anyone know how much this cost?

My car is sagging from time to time and they told me that I have a leak in my Rear suspension bags and need them replaced. Got a quote of $ 519+ tax. Sucks!
I have also had allot of electrical problems like.....the speedometer don't work and my temperature don't show correct and so on....

Rear suspension fails. Compressor overheats trying to keep the suspension up.

Feels like I'm riding a roller coaster, and I can't drive up anything too steep because bottom scrapes. Seemed like it went down and then never came back up

Rear sagging would lift when I start the car, but now won't lift at all. I had the air bags replaced and now the compressor has to be replaced.

I have the same problem. rear sit low and when i start to drive after it comes back up it starts to settle low again. Haven't gotten it fix yet will update soon

After sitting still overnight the vehicle sits low due to inadequate pressure in the rear air springs. I'm hesitant to take it to the shop due to the unknown cost of repair.

Everytime I turn my Rainier off the rear suspension system leaks air and the back of my truck lowers all the way to the ground. Cannot drive it like that and more and more often it takes longer and longer before it will rise back up. Havent had it repaired and afraid to get estimate. Unemployed and income very limited. HELP!!!!

Air Ride & Electrical Issues! My wife loves this vehicle and it was trouble free until recently. As other posts state, the rear of the Rainier will sit down if not driven for a couple days. I suspect a slow leak in a line or fitting and a liberal application of 'Snoop' may identify it... have yet to find the gumption to get under the vehicle. Also, the electical issues have started. First the A/C controls malfunctioned and where replaced, and now the guage cluster is giving erroneous readings - or none at all. The speed reads low or 0, the oil pressure pegs high, and the gas level is questionable. So far the digital 'miles to empty' idication has remained functional. If anyone knows of a recall or a way to get GM to recognize this as their problem, please let me know.

One day noticed rear end was low. Had mechanic retrofit regular suspension and trashed the air suspension. Now vehicle is at constant height.
