Hello, I experienced sagging on both rear corners and took the vehicle to the mechanic. A new compressor was installed. Travelled 5 miles after retrieving the vehicle, at which point the chassis warning illuminated. Exited the vehicle, observing that the passenger side's left rear and front are significantly elevated, while the driver's side front and rear are notably lowered. What actions has the garage failed to undertake that resulted in this situation?The garage has been closed for the past three days, so I will return tomorrow. Thank you

The effective functioning of the compressor has uncovered an additional problem. I suspect a malfunction with the solenoid or level sensor on the high side.

If the issue arose after you had been driving it, it is plausible that it functioned properly following the component change.
Was the ride height satisfactory upon your collection of the vehicle?

The automobile had initially sagged on both sides, so I scheduled an appointment. Prior to the appointment, the automobile appeared to be functioning well, although I took it to the shop nonetheless. They found no issues, so I proceeded on my way. A few days later, the car malfunctioned again, necessitating flatbed transportation to the mechanic for inspection of the sagging issue. The assessment indicated that the compressor required replacement. The task was completed, and upon retrieving the vehicle, the height was satisfactory.After driving 5 miles, the chassis alert illuminated, prompting me to exit the vehicle for inspection. I observed that it had ascended significantly on the passenger side. The car has been parked since and remains at that elevation. Additionally, prior to my purchase, new airbags were installed on both sides four months ago.

My 7 Series experienced this issue when one of the level sensors on the rear suspension arm was inverted, resulting in an incorrect height reading and the vehicle attempting to compensate. The adjustment took five minutes to elevate the back and reposition the level sensor linkage in the opposite direction.

I trust it is something as straightforward as this for you.
