Default Front air suspension failure Poll

I'm interested in how many folks have had to replace the air suspension bags on their ARs. I just replaced the right front one last month, and now the left front seems to be leaking. I saw another AR parked the other day, and it had both front bags deflated. Does it seem like there is a rash of failures in the last 6 months?

Please post if you have had to replace one or both of your front suspension air bags on your AR.

I am curious if any particular year(s) are affected as well...

Default Does extended warranty cover shocks?

Most of the ones I have seen don't

Is the bag a sealed unit or is is open on the inside around the shock?

Default My 2001 left front sometimes leaks down.

Not replaced yet. First trip to dealer was "no trouble found".

Had mine at the dealer today - they couldn't figure out the problem - seems pretty self-explanatory now that I've found this poach. 2002 AR.
