2008 Land Rover Range Rover Sport problems

Filed Aug 19, 2025 · Suspension · CA

The Suspension system failed. I saw an car icon with two arrows on each side pointing down in orange color, indicating a problem with the Suspension, and then it felt like the car went down like a low-rider would. It was at night, my wife was driving and it was very scary since we didn't know what had just happened. We drove it about four miles back home and we felt every bump on the road and the tires were hitting the tire-well. Car still low to the ground if anyone wants to check it out. This happened on August 6th, 2025, We didn't take it to a dealership or mechanic because I don't think it's safe to drive so low to the ground. We foud through you tube that people have been comcomplaining about this issue for years now and nobody as done anything about this problem. I personally think it's a factory defect. There are too many cars having the same issue, If it's not the compressor then it's the air reservoir or a leakage in the supplying lines or the air valve or even the height sensors "It's a faulty system" and there should be a recall to fix it.
