2014 Maxima S front struts blown?

Just bought a 2014, certified, Maxima S with 950 miles on it. It feels like the front left side is a little "floaty" or soft compared to the right. Almost like a blown strut. It doesn't float too bad when driving but I pushed down on the front left and it seems to bounce 2-3 times before settling. Isn't really as bad pushing on the right front. It also seems only the front left is making an air-escaping sound over quick bumps. ( I know this is normal for some gas shocks/struts to make that sound)

Are the S models that loose in the front compared to the SV or should I get it checked? Thanks!

The car is under warranty, take it in and have it checked out. My car is an SV Sport that is 5 years old and only springs back once when you push down on the front corners.

That makes sense since the SV w/sport package has sport-tuned spring rates versus the S. If everything is normal I'll be ordering the SV w/sport front coil springs and putting them on.
