I didn’t read that the front tires are coming off the ground; mine never have either.
I read his front JACKS sometimes don’t touch the ground if the front is higher. I have never noticed that.
A few times my front tires have had very little weight on them. I could spin them in loose gravel.

What I found with mine is if the front starts out higher than the back when the back jacks come down and level side to side and raise the rear the front jacks may not be touching the ground at all. I re calibrated it about 5 times and called Power Gear tech support the guy told me that was normal for my leveling system and if I wanted the front down to run them manually.
Now if the front is low it will have all 4 jacks down after leveling. It is no big deal now that I understand how it works but when I first got the coach and leveled it at the house it did what I explained above and I thought something was broken. The tech told me the newer models test each jack after the leveling procedure to make sure they are all in contact with the ground but not the older ones.

HWH Auto/Computerized Leveling have ALWAYS checked that all 4 jacks have hit the ground, at least for 30 years. EACH HWH jack has a pressure switch that confirms and tells the system when each jack has hit the ground. Doug

^^^ Last sentence; that's one of the things our Level Legs do well, when I first hit the level button no leveling starts until all 4 jacks have confirmed growing contact.

Has anyone else found that when you push the auto level button it sometimes does not completely level and if so do you level manually? I Carry a level with me as I did in my older motor homes. Still getting used to all the new fangled things on this motor home. It is a 2013 Newmar Canyon Star. Still trying to get used to going from diesel to gas.
The better question might be.....Has anyone ever found an auto level that works?....There are adjustments that you can make to your system to help it get closer but I am not aware of any system that gets it exactly right without a bit of human intervention.
