Impala Air Suspension Problems

My 2012 Chevy Impala with a gasoline engine is giving me fits! The air suspension seems totally shot. The car won't lift at all, it's leaning like crazy, and I'm getting error messages and a warning light on the dash. Plus, my low beams are all messed up. Could this be a compressor issue or something even worse?

The 2012 Chevy Impala is experiencing significant air suspension issues, including failure to lift, leaning, and dashboard error messages. Possible causes include a faulty compressor, air leaks, or malfunctioning ride height sensors. The problem was ultimately traced to a defective cable or plug connection to the compressor, which was resolved at a repair shop.

I had similar issues with my Impala. Is the error memory showing anything specific? Could be air leaks in the suspension system. Have you checked the ride height sensors?

Thanks for the reply! Air leaks, huh? I haven't checked for those specifically. Where would I even start looking for those? And the ride height sensors, are they easy to get to?

The leaks can be tricky to find, sometimes you can hear them hissing if it's quiet. As for the ride height sensors, they're usually near each wheel. But honestly, with all those symptoms, it might be best to get it to a workshop. Sounds like a malfunction in the whole system.

Appreciate the advice. Took it to the shop, and you were right! Turns out it was a defective cable or plug connection to the compressor. Cost me 95€ to fix. Thanks!
