Yeah, it's awful at any speed now, but definitely worse on rough roads. So, your Cruze had the same fault code and bumpy ride? Was it definitely the cable or plug like I suspect?

Confirming that it was a very similar situation. Given the symptoms and the fault code, it would be prudent to have a qualified technician inspect the cable and plug connections associated with the suspension components. In my humble opinion, you might be better off getting it checked out at a workshop. This might save you from further complications.

Thanks for confirming! I was hoping to avoid the shop, but it sounds like that's the smartest move. I'll book it in and post a resolution once it's sorted. Seems like it will cost me about 95€.

I had a similar issue with my Cruze – although I don't remember the exact year. That bumpy ride you're describing sounds all too familiar. If I remember correctly, the damping adjustment fault refers to a problem within the adaptive suspension system, which modulates the firmness of your shock absorbers. Are you noticing it more at certain speeds or on particular road surfaces?
