The front suspension sinks down on the vehicle, causing the front to scrape on the ground. this is making the ability to drive difficult. manufacturer was contacted by owner. the consumer stated that the main computer is failing.

No guy, its the air ride. All air ride cars have air bags, an air pump and a ton of sensors. I have a '93 Mark VIII, greatest car I ever owned but the air ride is high maintenance[PERIOD] Like other expensive rides with air ride systems, they will fail over time. You can either pay $500 to $1000 every time it hiccups for a fix at your local dealer or you can replace the air ride with a spring set thru Strut Masters or another. I found a set in 2002 on ebay after putting in $3000 over the years for 2 pumps [located in the fender, sensors and a pair of air bags. Finally I said enough and got the kit for under $500. When the one front bag failed, I had the front bags replaced for $150 installation fee and sold the sensors and the good front bag on ebay. 3 years later in '06, the rear bags failed so for $200 they were replaced. Less than a grand an no more $ or problems with the ride and just as good. Now for all rattles and squeeks you get over the years and dents, NoW thats another issue
