TIL parking my WK2 on a slope can result in QL2 ‘kneeling’

tl;dr – if your vehicle is kneeling intermittently, try parking it on a slope and see if it happens more frequently.

I have a ’15 EcoDiesel Overland that I got with 42k miles on it and it now has 89k miles on it, It has the beloved QL2, which I like.

I had some issues with it and it was in the shop for the QL2 valve block (an issue issue that we still haven’t determined, even though it was replaced). While it was in the shop the dealership deemed that that the front Air Struts were bad and needed replacement – I have coverage for this, so I was all in!

A few weeks later I notice that the passenger front is kneeling – $^(%!!!! Fortunately as soon as I turn it on, the vehicle corrects the situation and it rides normally, so I could drive to where I need to go.

I call the dealer to tell them that the work they did is having issues, but I’m going to watch it to make sure it is repeatable so I don’t waste their time.

A few weeks later and it only happens once a week, and only overnight while parked in my sloped driveway, yet not at any other places that my Jeep sits at overnight.

Cue Click & Clack…

I narrowed the kneeling down to when the vehicle is parked with the front higher than the back and not when it is on a flat surface – so I tell the service manager, and he notes it down.

Today I talked to the service manager and he gives me a chuckle when he tells me that there is a tiny leak in the hose, and when it was parked in their flat lot, it didn’t kneel, but when the mechanic put it on a slope overnight, it kneeled.

They sprayed the line and found a very tiny leak.

Hope this can help someone else get their kneeling issue fixed quicker!
