Air Ride Adaptive Suspension failure in cold climates?

HA!!!!!! I did not even see that lol…that is nuts to see on a brand new rig…didnt know that was still a thing!

Thats the thing - it's not! haha. Maybe in India or Mexico or some obscure part of the world. But definitely not on a 2022 $70K rig in the US. The more i think about it and search google - the more I'm amazed at it's existence.

I don't live in a super cold part of the world but did go out of my way to avoid air ride when buying our '21. Gm has a pretty solid history of issues with air suspension and big dollar fixes when they fail. This freezing issue may or may not be a new issue but it falls right in line with GM's reputation

Have they ever even had air ride before?

I know they have had air assist shocks in the rear of the suv’s for eons, but what other gm vehicle has had full on air suspension besides these new ones?

I know the rear air shocks in my wifes last 16 denali lasted over 100k miles with not a lick of an issue. And we live in northern michigan.

My 2008 trailblazer ss had air ride. Never had an issue.

Nothing but air bags, all around, from gm?

It was oem, air bags, auto leveling etc.

Those systems on the GMT360 platform were rear wheels only. There were lots of versions of that vehicle in the GM family- chevy, gmc, Buick, Oldsmobile, Saab - but the auto leveling air susp was only in the rear.

Think Olyelr is right, GM tinkered with 4 corner air in the 50’s and 60’s but this is the first modern 4 corner system they’ve offered. I’m sure it will soon be offered on other GM vehicles (like it has among stellantis’s products) and the system will get improvements over time.

I do wish they offered a rear only system. I like the auto leveling aspect of the air susp. but right now to get that you have to go with the full four corner system.
