Rear Air Suspension Springs Problems of GMC Envoy

I purchased my 2006 Envoy brand new in 2006 from wyatt johnson in clarksville TN . The rear air suspension bags gave out in 2010, the vehicle was still under warranty so I took my SUV to get repaired at wyatt johnson, I only paid the deductible of $150. In Jan of 2012 I noticed that the rear end of the vehicle was taking a long time to air up and I assumed the same problem that occurred in 2010 was occurring again. On oct 2012 I took my SUV to greiner Buick GMC dealership in victorville, CA and was told the rear air shock had went out again and the repairs would cost about 1600, the dealership is willing to pay ½ the cost and I will have to come out of pocket $785. I called gm motors because the mechanic told me that even after I get it repair this is an item that I will have to keep an eye on as long as I have the SUV. When I was sold the vehicle the sales man spoke very highly of the air lift and I was never aware of the problems and head ache that could occur from having a vehicle with this feature. I feel it's a safety hazard and I feel as though paying for it to get repaired is not the answer I need to be able to exchange this vehicle for one that will not have the same recurring problem again.

2002 GMC Envoy engine stalls while stopped at traffic light. Sometimes a near-stall condition occurs whereby the engine idle dips really low, engine shudders, then idle recovers. This usually happens just before or after the air compressor for the rear suspension inflates. So far the pcm, throttle body, and ignition switch have been replaced. Dealer is currently making 4th attempt to fix problem. Problem has been occurring since 8/2002.
