Under certain conditions my air suspension doesn't return to normal. If I notice it I just hit the up. In entry it is just a rougher ride.

My truck sticks in EE since day 1 (over 2 years). I had it back to the dealer several times, they attempted to fix it and after they could not they said it's normal ? The odd thing is that it only sticks when I lower it with the fob but not on the dash. I have 10 months left on my warranty am wondering if it's worth fighting for. My main concern is what does it do to the tires driving it in that mode ?

Yea mine only does it when I lower with fob too. But I can lift when I get it with the button. Does yours lift? It should not be "stuck" In EE. The ride is super bumpy like that

Yes it will lift manually and does automatically 80 percent of the time. I just wonder is the caster/camber out when it's in EE? I drove about 400 miles once in EE before I noticed it.

Yes, it is out. Front end geometry is fixed. I'm guessing RAM has the front end alignment dialed in somewhere between normal and aero mode height since aero gets a lot of highway miles.

where did you see that in manual ?
Mine has never stayed in EE regardless of how I put it in that mode. How is riding around on bump stops a feature? Please point out where that feature is listed in the owner's manual. The only thing the owner's manual says is that the truck will automatically go from EE to Normal mode when you exceed 15 mph. No mention of any difference between whether you use the fob or the button on the dash.
There's a dozen+ threads on it being so here
Air Suspension not returning to Normal mode after Easy entry setting.
Anyone else having trouble with the suspension not returning to the Normal position after selecting the Easy entry mode on it's own? Mine will only go up to the Aero mode but won't go into Normal mode unless I manual select it again.

Not true. I lower mine with the fob every time I wash it, when I drive away, it raises itself, the indicator on the evic actually says "raising"

Seems like those were predominately all early builds, 19's and even some of those functioned normally.
lower then drive off. if you let it sit until the ecm goes to sleep it resets.
that's just the oldest thead theres lots more.
air suspension issues
I will try to keep this brief. I just want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience. -If I lower my air to E/E inside the cab, it raises normally when truck exceeds 20 mph -If I lower it with the remote, I have to raise it twice with the switch to get it out of E/E into Aero. It will...

Air suspension - entry/exit mode not returning to normal ride height
So I have notice the last few mornings that when I use the remote to enter the entry/exit mode the truck doesn't return to normal ride height after. I accelerate to over 40 MPH and the truck stays in entry/exit. I'll have to discuss it with the dealer.

Air ride stays in entry/exit while driving
Not a huge deal but Just curious if anyone else’s entry/exit stays in that mode without auto adjusting once driving.... I believe the system will start raising the truck at 15mph or greater but mine seems to stay in entry/exit every once in awhile. when It doesn’t auto raise I simply raise it...

Air suspension hiden features (to me)
I just found out 2 new features on my '19 Limited by accident. If you lower the truck with the remote while parked, it won't return to aero mode at 15 mph. It seem it would be good for mpg but it rides a little rough of course on the lowest setting. Also, if you approach the truck with the...

No one is disputing that some people have trucks with this issue. Nor are we arguing that there aren't any other threads about it. What we are disputing is the fact that you called this a feature. It is not normal behavior, and is certainly not a feature. It is most definitely a bug. Are you calling it a feature because someone who made the last thread you linked jokingly called it a feature?

I agree, definitely not a "feature" even when I lower with key fob most of the time it will auto rise once speed is increased. I've only managed to do it a handful of times. And everytime I was messing with thr key fob right before. As I stated earlier. I've also been able to raise the truck from the Key fob. I don't think that was an intended feature either. I think my system is very glitchy.

My dealer was baffled how to fix this , they had no clue about this glitsch. I wrote it off a long time ago. "Misery" loves company" !

Did you check your Aero settings?
Mine has Settings/Suspension/Aero you can turn Aero on or off. If off, it doesn't automatically go to Aero height.
In you press the info button it tells you that turning this on will automatically return to Aero height when you start driving.
