Equinox Air Suspension Failure
Summary of the thread
A 2018 Chevrolet Equinox with approximately 247,913 km experienced a complete air suspension failure, causing the vehicle to lean to one side and produce error messages. The issue was suspected to be a defective suspension air bag valve. A similar problem was confirmed by another owner, who advised a workshop visit for a proper diagnosis. The problem was identified as a faulty air suspension bellows valve, which was repaired for 590€, resolving the issue.

Oh wow, really? Do you remember which valve it was specifically, and what the repair ended up costing you? I'm trying to mentally prepare myself for the worst here!

I don't remember specifically which valve it was, but the garage confirmed one of the suspension air bag valves was defective. Considering your symptoms, it's likely the same issue. I would suggest taking it to a workshop for a proper diagnosis, because driving like that is not safe in the long run.

Thanks so much for the advice. I took it to the workshop, and you were spot on! It was indeed the air suspension bellows valve. Cost me 590€ to get it fixed, but at least it's running smoothly again. Thanks again!

I also own a Chevrolet Equinox. I had a very similar issue that sounds like yours. It turned out to be a problem with one of the valves in the air suspension system. This can often result in an air leak, causing the vehicle to lean.
