Both Headlights Auto level With Key On,But Drivers Side Doesn't Auto Level "On Road"

This begun since I took my egg back from the dealer a couple of days ago, and not really in the mood to drop it off back right away. As the title suggests, I turn the key to the on position, BOTH headlights move up and down as they should. But while I drive, and say pull up into my driveway which has a slight uphill slope, the passenger side will auto level to compensate for the slope, but the drivers headlight never moves at all. So to sum it up, even though both headlights auto-level during initial startup, the driers one does not auto level while driving afterwards.
Both headlights emit a steady stream of light, so no problems in that department.

Is there a sensor that I can check? Any ideas?

There is a sensor that connects to the lower front control arm via a small link rod. Inspect the rod for damage.

Thank you. I'll give that a look tomorrow.

I might have mis-spoke... the sensors might be connected to the upper rear part of the control arm.
