It is a safety issue. They are not designed to lower and hit,drag on the ground while in transit. The key word is designed. DRV has switched to a different style because of issues with them.

If you have nothing positive to add just keep it to yourself. This thread was designed to inform DRV owners of an issue and that they should file a report if they have the same issue. If NITSA gets enough reports, they will investigate it and might force a recall.
I guess all of the people with Takata air bags could have rigged, disabled there air bags to be OK. But NITSA did not think that they should.

Bottom line, please stop trolling and giving advice that no one has asked for. I believe the posting member has already spent $1500 plus to get them rebuilt. And I think his $100k plus unit is just over a year old.

Rant over....

Well said - I was considering a similar post. What makes this forum different from the others is the amiable atmosphere, and it would be a shame to see this one stoop to the discourteous and mean-spirited level as the others. Even though some members have accumulated many posts over a very short period of time, it does not mean that they have they are experts. If I don't have a specific solution to a member's problem, I don't respond to the thread.

For what it's worth, I see the original poster's concern as a potential safety issue that merits looking into. Even if the levelers are no longer under warranty, this does not mean that a (potential) flaw in the design of the system lets the manufacturer off the hook. Indeed, I am always interested in what issues/problems others are having so that if there is a systematic pattern, the appropriate manufacturers can be put on alert.

Just my two cents.
