    Default losing air

    I have just replaced the rear tire on my 2012 rt limited, and I am now losing air from the rear air bag on the suspention. Do I need to take it to the dealer and have it reprogramed? any ideas? Thank you everyone in advance for all your suggestions. I put air in and did not find any leaks but the bag is emty the next morning.

    Did you disconnect the ride height module lever before you removed wheel. If notThis could cause airbag damage...

    Default Loss of air...

    I loose air all the time.. but thats just me...did you re connect the arm?? If you have no leaks you may need to have it reset. They can be tricky and it may be better to have the dealer check it out...

    I hope the problem is one of the suggestions above. But there is a chance that it is unrelated. Unfortunately, leaks in the air suspension system are not uncommon. Mine quite working a while back and I had to replace both the airbag and a hose - under warranty thank goodness.

    I just had mine replaced a couple of weeks ago. The tech showed me how the seal between the rubber bladder and upper disk broke loose. As has been said the air bladders are a known problem.
