Angry dealership issues??

I have an 05 4x4 4dr...
My truck is currently at the dealership getting the transmission fluid pump replaced along with a rear main seal replaced...

Now there telling me that the tranny coolant lines are leaking and need replaced @ over $300 for parts, and my power steering need both lines replaced at over $300 in parts. They are trying to tell me that these trucks are notorious for these issues?????

I dont have any fluid marks in my drive way, so whats up with that???

any one here have these issues??/

I haven't heard of anything. You would see leaks in both of them and have fluid all over the place. I would check the lines in person to see what is up.

I've never seen anyone on here complaining of that happening before, I would think if it was a common issue some of us would have had it happen.

Unless they damaged the lines to show they are messed up!

Similar story went in for a oil change 20 min later the guy comes out and tells me my power steering pump was leaking and he will call me when the parts in (under warranty)
so OK whatever i didn't believe him because there is nothing dripping.....But sure enough went and checked it a couple days later and it was off the dipstick i filled it 3 times before the part came in and not drop of fluid under my truck. Its a mystery!!

My experience with the dealer is they are Incompetent and extreme liars!
It takes 2 to 3 ttrips for the same repair to be done properly.

Yes, I had to get the steering pump, some u-bolt from the steering shaft and a transmission line replaced in Feb 2008. I have a 2005 dodge dakota, at the time it had 36-38k miles.
