Consumer Description

WHILE ON VACATION IN WV, I BEGAN HAVING STEERING ISSUE WHERE THE TRUCK WOULD DRIFT LEFT AND THERE BECAME AN OVERABUNDANCE OF PLAY IN THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN IT HAS BECOME DIFFICULT TO DRIVE. I REPEATEDLY TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND CALLED BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK. THERE ARE RECALLS ON RAM 1500 MEGACABS AND RAM 2500;S BUT NOT ON A RAM 2500 MEGACAB???? I HAVE HAD MY SUSPENSION REPLACED, MY STEERING LOOKED AT SIX TIME AT A LOCAL SHOP AND IT IS STILL NOT DRIVING AS IT SHOULD. MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT LINER IS ALSO BURNED WHERE A METAL HOSE HAS COME IN CONTACT WITH IT AND MELTED THROUGH IT. THIS IS PLAIN TO SEE WHEN THE HOOD IS UP AND YET MY TRUCK IS NOT PART OF ANY RECALL FOR THIS EITHER. SINCE MY TRUCK IS NOT LISTED ON ANY OF THE RECALLS, AM I ELIGIBLE FOR THE BUYBACK?
