Airbags did not deploy in a crash by model year
What owners say
Vehicle involved in a total loss and airbags did not deploy....
Airbags did not deploy during a head-on collision with another vehicle. At about 70 MPH impact, you think there would be some kind of protection.
Was involved in a car accident on 4/22/06. I was driving 55 MPH and a delivery truck pulled out in front of me. I hit the truck on his driver side and smashed my hole front end in. Truck was almost totaled. My air bags never deployed. If it wasn't for the seat belt my injuries could have been worse then whip lash. My truck is in the process now of being fixed. No one is giving me answers to why the bags didn't deploy. I called the dodge manufacturer and filed a complaint. Never heard a thing. This is very dangerous not to have the air bags deploy. My main worry is that when my truck is fixed and if I ever have another accident will the air bags work? Please help!
