Anybody have similar problems with the import trucks such as
Toyota?

Don't know about trucks. My best car, a Pontiac Bonneville GXP, has an automatic load lever. A few
seconds after each start-up you can hear the air pump run to "trim" the level. The car came with an
accessory air package that connects to the compressor pump via a shrade valve in the trunk..

Both my 1988 NewYorker and my 1994 TransSport had those "Air ride"
self levelers. Both had failed before I got the vehicles. The Chrysler
one had been replaced and failed again soon after. The failure mode
this time had the car almost standing on the front bumper when the
compressor would not shut off and the release v alve would not
release.
I replaced the soft springs on both vehicles with "load handlers".
