Default Suspension warning light came on -

about three times after 8 hours of highway driving. Late at night, going fast, and it came on almost gently, like it hesitated. Then it went out and came back on 2-3 times more in the next hour. Since then nothing in 4 hours of driving. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I think the car felt bad about the light. No, really, as if it was saying "I hate to do this but here is a warning light". Perhaps it has done some self-analysis and fixed itself. I'll be nice to it and hope it doesn't happen again.

I had this happen a few months ago. Turned out it was both the ride height sensor and the actual compressor. The compressor was not pumping well, and the car would "time out", meaning it took too long to change positions.

Doesn't mean that is what is wrong with yours, but it may be. Hope you have a warranty if so. Compressor is an expensive item.

Default Mine recently came on as well...

Last weekend mine popped on. Just to make sure we're talking the same thing, the warning was a picture of a car within a triangle and arrows up and down. Turned out be the sensor burned out. Mine was still covered under factory warranty, but looked like they were backcharging AoA 4 bills for the fix. I have noticed that the car rises and lowers much quicker and better now.

Default hasn't gone on again and I've been listening

for more clues, but none seem to match descriptions below. I'll just hope it was a one time thing. Thanks for the input.
