Default Front Ends?

How often does one have to change front end parts on there ram ?

In the year that i owned mine so far, I have put 30K on it and 2 front ends! is that normal? all done by the dealer under warrenty, its off in another 6000kms.
If this is what i have to look forward too im gunna trade it in !
