2018 Grand Cherokee Air Suspension Malfunction - "Service Air Suspension"

My 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit has been acting up lately. The air suspension seems to be stuck, and I'm getting a "Service Air Suspension" message on the dash. It feels like the vehicle isn't leveling properly, especially after sitting overnight. Sometimes the front end is really low, other times it's the rear.

I've tried restarting the car, but the message keeps coming back. It's making the ride really stiff and uncomfortable. Has anyone else experienced this with their WK2 Grand Cherokee? What was the fix?
