1 Front Suspension problem

Failure Date: 12/21/2009

Lincoln Navigator 04' has been having problems with air suspension when in cold weather under 30 degrees. Front fender touching tires. The suspension won't work at all. Air compressor was replaced, one of the sensors & a valve. Spent over $1000 on it trying to repair and nothing fixes the problem. I took it to the dealer 3 times already and the dealer doesn't find the issue as the computer does not give a code error message. This is not a reliable car. How can a car's air suspension work on the warm weather and not on the cold?was Lincoln thinking about this when making this car? I have read online and there are numerous people having the same problems up north and quite a few on the city I live in.
