Another Front Lift Problem

Another Front Lift Problem
I am glad I got the front end lift for my 2010 GT3--definitely comes in handy. But, does anyone else have the following problem: It always goes up, but most times will not come down with the button. The button just stays lit, and you have to exceed the speed necessary to get it back down--not always convenient or legal. Thanks.

Suddenly this past weekend mine started acting odd too. I found that it was always displaying "LIFT" in the dash pod, but the button was not always lit. Sometimes I could push the button and I'd hear the familiar "whoosh" sound to let me know it was going to "sit". But, then I'd find it had somehow gone back into the lift mode after I'd parked it. I guess the sensor and/or electronics may be faulty. After futzing around with the car, I realized that it was "sitting" once I got the car above the (30?) mph threshold. But why it was going up on it's own, I can't understand. She's been in to the dealer to get it diagnosed and fixed.
I'm certain yours is under warranty. Take it in to get it fixed as well.

No problem here, and I use mine everytime I drive the car for the pass eight months.
I do, always tend to ues the lift with much care... like raise & lower it when the car in slow and smooth straight motion, or at stop if possible. When the lift is in up positon, I try to drive over speedbumps or poor pavements with caution, not to induce too much stress to the airbladder and the lift system. Also, I try not to keep the lift in up (pressurized) position for too long, as soon as I don't need the lift I lower it back to down position, and I never drive the car up to 30-ish mph to lower the lift by itself.
So far, the lift works perfectly -- always goes up within two seconds, and lowers in just a few seconds. No mishaps. Fingers crossed.

For me, the lift goes up but the lift sign on dash doesn't come on. You cannot lower the lift with the button until the dash indicator comes on. It appears that in my cars case, I NEED to hit a bump before the light comes on. It is clearly a problem with the lift sensor not indicating when the car is fully up and the bump jostles it to trigger it. Not all systems require this. Not sure if it's a calibration issue or sensor issue. My dealer is working on it but is so far stumped.

Thanks for all the posts. It seems my light just takes a while to come up on the dash. Once it is there, if I keep my speed steady, and hit the button just once, the familiar Wheeeesh appears and the light goes off. I guess the car just makes me want to do everything fast! Patience grasshopper.
