Man, that sucks. Sometimes, I feel like Dodge has cheap crap inside their trucks. I have turned wrenches for a few years, so I'm kinda used to it. (not saying that you don't know what you're doing)

Like others have said, might just be a lemon. Mine has been great.

Man, that is Frustrating and very dissappointing I'm sure, sorry to hear it for you.So far my 06 has not caused any trouble with all the abuse I have thrown at it. My A/C works great. Sounds like you got a bad team that built your truck? Mine was made in Mexico, are all the 06's made in Mexico? If it weren't for BAD economy, I would recommend selling it and finding a better one with 30 or 40K miles that had no problems? Good luck, let us know if you get it straightened out and to your satisfaction.

Are you sure your leak is not oil from the vent tube.They ALL leave little spots on the driveway at times.Get warranty to fix mirrors and HVAC issue,lumbar issue and put some seat covers on. Thats WHY it comes with a warranty.

They really are super easy to get off, I just broke all the fastener clips off the switch insert trying to get it unplugged (my fault, it was so easy I actually made it difficult lol)

My 06 has been the best truck i have ever owned (and i have had a LOT of trucks.)
135,000 has used one set of front u joints and one complete driveshaft line (warranty on both.)
one set brake pads all the way around.

I feel you twotire. I have been in the shop for more things than I care to think about. Started with 3 clutch release bearing replacements, then an entire clutch assembly, ball joints seized solid, u joint seized solid, and I only have 60k on it. Your truck must have both built on the same **** day.
But the guys at the shop have always been good about doing it all under warranty so I hope that will settle your mind at ease at least.
