Exclamation Driver side Strut Leaking already

Hey everyone. I pulled the front tires off today only to discover my driver side strut is leaking. Not even 12,000 miles on it yet. Thought it was just road dirt or something but reached up there and sure enough its the oil leaking out. Kind of pi----!! Plus I'm still waiting for the new harness for the short/long intake runner. I Will be calling dealership and ask them if they got the thing or what.

Do you have a lift or leveling kit?

That what warranty is for. 2 more years at the very least if you bought your truck in August 08. If it leaks after that well that would be expected. oops forgot, it is a pita having to go there, I have to go get me stupid uconnect working, they sold it to me and told me just to update the software...did that, didnt' work so I have to have it star scanned for 52 bucks.

I bought the extra LIFETIME MAXI CARE and the SHOCKS are covered under it.Couldn't believe that shocks are a covered item.

Ya that is cool I have that for 6 years they called it bumper to bumper but said they are not supposed to refer to it that way LOL. Man now I am gonna wish I didn't have it oil sprayed won't find those kinda leaks until it starts to get bouncy. Hey I wonder if that guy who was complaining about vibration in the front been in 8 times, maybe he has really low fluid in his shocks, no that would be a bounce not a vibration.......well hopefully they get the problem fixed. Will be a recall anyway if too many start happening, I think Chrysler has had enough lawsuit payouts before they finally recalled Durangos for the front end back in 03.
