Chassis system failure

Has anyone experienced this problem with their Panamera before? I bought my car 2nd hand, only 1000 miles.. I've had the car checked in Porsche service but nothing was wrong, they have only reported one fix with front chassis... It's probably they couldn't fix the problem The fault message gone after restart but the car doesn't lift to high position only normal and low levels.. Btw car has PASM, PDCC, Servotronic..

I was experiencing some strange driving problems before like when I try to park the car and turn the steering wheel fully to either side a creaking sound was coming from front wheels like the wheels turned too much and scraping to wheel arches..

The creaking sound you can ignore. They all do it and it is normal. What was the error message? Is your car working normally now?

I had this happen to my P4S twice, both time it cleared on restart without any apparent chassis problems ever present. Since the control systems are so complex I'm suspecting a computer program fart. When I take the car in for the next service I will have them check it out.

The error message was "Chassis system failure" and a red sign..

The error message has gone and everything worked fine after I restarted the car but still I was afraid because in the manual it says:
"Stop immediately in a suitable place. Do not continue driving.
Have the fault corrected at a qualified specialist workshop.*"
So I took it to the service, they are investigating the problem.. They said it's because of a small drop in gas pressure and there might be a leak somewhere but still they couldn't find it.

Update ..

Service has found the problem is caused by faulty compressor, it has been changed and everything seems to working fine now, no issues with suspensions, it's even better than before, it takes less time to incline and decline..

i nailed a nasty pothole and the "chassis system failure" warning went on. thought i busted a tire. checked tire pressures and all seemed ok. restart cleared the error signal. all seems well. maybe its triggered on sudden impacts?

Yes it's probably the shock has triggered the error in your case but my problem was different, the car lower itself to a level below the lowest setting, you can't even see the top of tires, it's almost ground level.. also the suspension setting button do not work, the car jumps up and down when you go over over a bump.
