Have had front and rear bags go bad(the overnight leak deal) but never had the front loose air evenly while driving and Error code come on at around 60 mph. I noticed front felt bouncy.
Reached under car and both bags feel pressurized.... fairly new Motorcrafts, compressor comes on at start up but won't load them to ride height. Heard a venting sound when I shut engine off. Why just the front down??? Maybe need to measure it to see if it is evenly down, possible hose broke while venting at speed? Any ideas.similar events from anyone else???
 
Sounds like a bad front bag or leak at one of the solenoids. Maybe a damaged line. Fronts are controlled separately from the rear. So if there is a leak in a line (anywhere) the car opens the front solenoids and runs the compressor to inflate them but the air escapes at the leak. Since it errors out, the rears never get a chance to adjust.

If you can not find a leak, then it may be stuck open vent solenoid or relay issue. Its possible for the vent solenoid to open yet the compressor not kick on. That could deflate the bags.
