Nagging issues
I have some continuing and very annoying issues with my 2007 Dodge.
1) Steering clunk during low speed turning. Almost exactly identical to the "infamous" low speed steering clunk the Chevy pickups have (like my wife's 2006 Chevy). Dealer has replaced the steering rack, but 3 weeks later the problem never went away and has gotten worse.
2) Body squeak in the passenger side exterior, mid chassis and front. Sounds like a squeaky bed that won't stop. Only does it after the truck has been warmed up and driven for 30-40 mins. Dealer swears they can't find it or even hear it.
3) Buzzing sound in the driver's dash area. Sounds like a nest of angry bees. Dealer has fixed 3 times, and it comes back before I park in my driveway.
Otherwise the truck has been great. But these items are driving me insane!!!

squeak
Well, I think I have heard that the squeak (which I have also) is usually the rear sliding window. some silicone grease might be able to help if you can keep from making a mess. I dont have clunk or buzz but I have had a power steering pump , window modulator, and fuel injector replaced before 15000 miles....

The pop with the steering you may look into the motor mounts a buddy of mine had his taken into the dealer and motor was pulled then placed back in and when he got it back it would make a popping sound everytime he turned the wheel. We got up under it and went over every bolt and the two that fixed it where the motor mount bolts were loose. Once we tightened them no noise since.
The humming noise I experienced in my truck passenger side under dash i though, it turned out to be the trans. dipstick line was rubbing on a a/c line and rubbed the groumet raw to metal on metal so I simply pulled the trans. dipstick away from it and havent heard it since. And my dealer also looked at this issue 3 times took me digging around to figure it out.
