In october 2018 we had a frontend collision on the highway with a deer. Since then the air suspension ride has not worked properly. It has been in for major repairs numerous times. The dodge dealer sends us home hoping that they guessed the problem correctly. To no avail. The problem returns. We call the hotline and play phone tag with a representative.
