So in preparation for the upcoming Dolphins Challenge Cancer bike ride this weekend, I decided to mount my hitch reciever bike rack to my new (2 week old) 2022 Summit Reserve Hemi 2-row this morning. To make the task easier, I started the jeep and raised the suspension to Off Road 2 height, turned off the ignition, and left the drivers door open so it would stay in the raised height while I got under the rear bumper to remove the hitch cover. Once I was done, I closed the tailgate and door, locked the Jeep and went inside to get ready for work. I expected that with all doors close the Jeep may return to entry/exit height, which is a setting I have activated when it's in Park, or just stay in OR2.
Going outside to leave for work I found the rear suspension all the way down and the front all the way up. Once I got inside and started the vehicle the front lowered down to entry/exit and I thought all was well until I was greeted with a "Service air suspension immediately" message. I tried numerous restarts with no success, it was stuck in entry/exit mode with the warning message still there. I was about to try a battery disconnect/reset and decided against, as I shouldn't have to be doing this to a 2 week old $70k vehicle. I limped it to the closest dealer ~ 5 miles hoping they could look at it on the spot, or try to reset it, but that just wasn't in the cards. While they were nice enough to arrange alternate transportation through enterprise, it did take 2 1/2 hours out of my morning. Unfortunately my selling dealer was ~300 miles away, so I'm not expecting anyone to do any backflips for me, and I was warned it may not even get looked at today, and if parts needed to be ordered I was in big trouble.
Before I left I used the Jeep app to set a boundary alert, a small circle I drew around the vehicle where it was parked in the service lot, and not too long after I had many alerts that the vehicle had been moved so hopefully it's in the bay of a competent technician ( the dealer said the only had 1 capable of working on air suspensions).
This is the reason why I chose to lease the vehicle for 3 years for fear of stuff like this happening out of warranty. Oddly enough, my prior 4 vehicles dating back to 2015 were (3) Grand Cherokee Overland and a Ram 1500 Limited, all of which had air suspensions that never gave me a problem.
Anyone have any ideas, or similar experiences?
