I also have a '06 Phaeton. I have twice failed to realize that the rear wheels would be lifted off the ground and I will agree with you that it is a big mistake. I have almost stopped using the auto level button. It is always better to have someone outside to watch. To me, it seems that you must be almost level before using the jacks. It would be great to have a remote control, so that I could be outside watching to avoid lifting the wheels. I carry lots of blocking now for the wheels and use four 6" blocks under the jacks to make sure I stroke the jacks a minimal amount. This seems to help.
I have made two trips to Red Bay, AL for jack problems, but fortunately, it's only 145 miles away.
I bought the coach used, but would never buy a new or used model without hydraulic levelers.
