Spark Suspension Issue

I'm having a weird suspension issue with my 2020 Chevrolet Spark, gasoline engine. It's got 54250 km on it. The car just won't lift anymore, sits kinda lopsided, and throws an error. Speedometer keeps flashing a warning, and the ride feels super bumpy. Hooked it up to a reader and got a 'faulty air suspension bellows valve' error. Pretty sure the suspension air bag valve is toast. Anyone else run into this?

A 2020 Chevrolet Spark is experiencing a suspension issue where the car won't lift, sits lopsided, and displays a warning on the speedometer. The problem is identified as a 'faulty air suspension bellows valve,' likely indicating a failure in the suspension air bag valve. The suggested solution is to take the car to a workshop for repair, as the suspension systems are sensitive and ignoring the issue could be dangerous.

I have a Chevrolet Spark too, and something similar happened to mine a while back. Is the ride height noticeably lower than usual? I remember noticing my air spring wouldn't hold air. At least, that's what the error code indicated. Was your car leaning to one side?

Yep, the ride height is totally shot, and it's definitely leaning. That sounds pretty close to what I'm experiencing. Was it definitely the air suspension itself then? Any chance it was something else causing the same symptoms?

I'm no expert, but for me, it was undoubtedly an issue with the pneumatic suspension. I just took it to a workshop and they fixed it. I'd suggest you do the same, as these suspension systems are quite sensitive. Could be dangerous to ignore it.

Cheers. Really appreciate the insight. Sounds like I'll get it booked into a workshop. The repair cost will be around 590€. Thanks again for confirming my suspicions!
