One morning I start my car and drove through the road as usual. I was surprised but it rides like a old car. It seems there was something in the trunk and I feel each bump. I went to the garage and I asked them to take a ride with the car. They take a ride with the car and they said it doesn't ride like a Buick for sure. They looked under the car and they said that the automatic level control was jammed. They told me they are going to put that on the computer to analyse the problem. They can't do nothing and the car was still riding bad. They told me to order a new automatic level control. I told them to order two air shocks to put with the automatic air control. The work was done and it happens again today. If I ride the car for a long time; it comes to normal. What's the problem? If I want to sell that car; it seems to be a major problem. I wait for your answer. Thank you in advance.

There was no code on the display of the car and they told me that there's nothing they can't do when the car was put on the computer and they didin't see any code. Everything seems to be normal. The only thing they saw was that the automatic level control was jammed and the air couldn't be released. I feel every small bump on the road coming from the rear of the car. That's why they asked me to buy a new automatic level control. The new automatic level control is only 5 months old. I still don't understand. I don't want to invest a lot of money on that car if the problem is major. I prefer to buy a new one in exchange. Thank you in advance for your help.

The ride feels too hard. It rides like a buggy. Without any suspension.
