Ok so airlift is going to totally rule out any warranty work involving brake issues. You are going to be on your own for repairs.
You have probably broke a sensor or pinched a wire. It isn’t going to be easy to find I am afraid.

Wouldn’t they have to prove the air suspension caused the failure though? I think they may stick OP with inspection labor costs If that’s the case...but at least OP will know where the issue is.

How is the car still under warranty at ~40K miles?

Alright yall, got the car running again and I’m pretty embarrassed that it took as long for me to find the reason, long story short I blew the fuse able link on the battery, and as a temp fix to get to work, I used a wire from auto zone to bypass it. The car was acting up because the wire was no longer tight around the positive terminal����*♂️����*♂️����*♂️����*♂️����*♂️, thank y’all very much for your time and help

it depends entirely on the dealer. once they know that the suspensions been messed with, many stop diagnosing as soon as they see the different parts, blame the parts, and move to the next waiter, because unless the customer is paying, it's not worth the techs time that he'll never get back to diagnose an issue that the dealer won't pay him for.

BUT THERE IS A REASON THE FUSE BLEW IN THE FIRST PLACE. FUSES DON'T JUST SPONTANEOUSLY BLOW.

you need to find the reason/problem that caused it all, otherwise you're just throwing parts at the situation that will need to be replaced again.

Next up.
My car burst into flames for no apparent reason. The dealer won’t replace it for me so what can I do?

Yes but going to a bag system is a pretty easy out for them when it comes to brake issues. Brakes are directly linked to suspension.
The engine mods he has pretty much throws any engine coverage out the window as well.
All I n all he had pretty much screwed himself for warranty coverage. Rightfully so since the issues he has are obviously not factory caused anyway. Why should the rest of us pay to fix things he fucked up?

[soundman98]

it terrifies me that he used a wire to replace a fusible link for any length of time...
no better than shoving a copper penny under the house fuses. and that's why it's illegal to even finance a house anymore with a fuse panel...

Love "audiovisual auto-alert" and "slow-blow" features, at no extra cost at that!

Bubba must have a cousin down in Texas you have been listening to -

Bubba says, next time, use at least #9 wire and clamp it on good ....... then look around for the part that is burning/smoking and you will have found the bad actor.
