I got a used 2005 GX .....Do you guys are having the same problem? GX leaning to the right or left by 1/2 inch from side to side. Dealer says its normal because of the air suspension.

I don't buy that, the vehicle should be level, raised or lowered. Air leak on one side? hit the button to raise and make sure you see/hear both sides raise.

Standard BS from the dealer. The vehicle HAS TO SIT EVEN, otherwise it can lead into stability issues. Had to go through that with a couple of dealers, listening to the same BS. Turns out it's an issue with height sensors for the air suspension. They are either bad, or need adjustment. Don't take any BS from the dealer, just tell them the vehicle is not safe to drive and ask them if they will give you a written assurance that it's safe to drive it like that. See what response you will get from that.

I have the exact situation. Except that when I turn on the engine the height goes back to level. Is there a leak?
