Air ride leak

[new adventure]

Thanks for such a good group . Great place to get information. We have a new 2012 RT with audio ( 6weeks old) This model does not have built in compressor for rear air ride. We cannot keep air pumped up. Pressure goes down from 55 lbs. to 30 lbs. on a 2 hour drive with 2 riding. Dealership is trying their best but still scratching their head. Anybody out there running into the same issue. Thanks in advance.

First thing to do is check the Schrader valve under the seat. Be sure the valve core is tight, then check for leaks. A bubble of spit or soapy water on the opening will tell the tale. Replace the valve core if necessary. If that is OK, it is a matter of checking the entire piping system, and the air bag, for leaks. Time for the soapy water again. There are a lot of fittings, and they may leak, or a hose could have been damaged. The air bag is always a suspect, too. This isn't rocket science, but it isn't able to be done with computer diagnostics, and it takes more than a quick look to track things down underneath like that.

I was having the same problem. My dealer said the airbag had a leak and replaced it. Problem solved.
