At 26,000 miles the blend door for the air system broke (part # 68004226-ab). This caused the vents to be stuck in one position and could not get the defrost to work which became a safety issue since I could not defrost/defog the windshield. The part was replaced under warranty. I am now at 52,000 miles and the same part needs to be repaired again. This time out of warranty and at a cost of $740.

My recirculation door on my 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 broke the other night for no reason other then adjusting the ac controls. It seems that this seems to be a common problem caused by the recirculation door actuator putting to much torque on the plastic door. I only have 6,00 miles on the truck right now.
