Air suspension system went completely out while riding and caused vehicle to tilt from side to side on two wheels , causing vehicle to go out of control hitting tree. There were no repairs done to vehicle. The suspension system failed automatically. Vehicle was a total loss.

While driving my vehicle there is a vibration in the rear end with a loud bumping noise. Much like a 4x4 in a hard turn. The dealer has repaired the problem four other times and this will be the fifth. I am worried that this could be a safety issue with something happening to the axle while driving. The vehicle only has 56k miles on it. The vehicle also lurches forward on start up.
While driving it was "very bumpy" during normal operation. Consumer examined vehicle, and saw that rear suspension was allowing rear of vehicle to rest on rear wheels. Dealership inspected vehicle and determined that air compressor motor and relay had to be replaced. Please provide any additional information / attachments.
Rear axle failed causing left wheel to fall off when consumer made a turn. Yh.
