There was no shock absorption and the vehicle bounced around everywhere. Luckily the sensor was covered under warranty.

I had a similar situation with a full-size Range Rover that was out of warranty. The front end was slammed to the ground and the rear end raised up to its highest setting while I was driving down the road with the kids, needless to say it was a super scary experience! The dealer wanted to replace all four bags at $2k a pop, said it was a very common problem. Fortunately it ended up being faulty ride sensors. I sold it as soon as it was repaired and vowed to avoid air-suspension on future autos.
