Ecosport Air Suspension Issue

Hey, I have a 2007 Ford Ecosport with a gasoline engine and I'm having trouble with what I think is the air suspension. It's got about 57k km on it. The car won't lift anymore, and it's leaning. Plus, I'm getting an error message on the speedometer and the ride is super bumpy. The error memory says something about the air suspension. Anyone experienced something similar?

I might have some insight. I've got an Ecosport too. I had similar symptoms a while back - leaning, error messages, and a terrible ride. Have you checked for any obvious air leaks around the suspension bellows?

Thanks for the quick response! I haven't specifically checked for leaks, but I didn't notice anything obvious. Where exactly should I be looking around the bellows? Any specific areas that are more prone to leaks?

Well, in my case, it ended up being a defective valve on the air suspension bellows. It was allowing air to leak out, which caused all the problems you described. Honestly, diagnosing it precisely was tricky. I would suggest taking it to a workshop. The repair ended up costing me around 590€, but it solved the problem.

Appreciate the info! Sounds like it could be the same issue I'm having. I'll take it to a workshop and mention the air suspension bellows valve. Thanks again for your help!
