It's probably just filling the air shocks. If it stays off and makes no more noise I wouldn't worry too much about it

Doesnt necessarily mean you're losing air. It bleeds out slowly when the car is off & then fills up again when you start it next time. If it was losing air while driving, youd hear the compressor activate again to compensate for the air that was lost

Took the dealership service department 5 hours to locate water under the floorbed of my 08 Buick Lucerne. They are telling me it is why the 'stabilitrak' light came on. Is that possible? 1 Answer
