I have contacted my local dealer and chrysler direct to have airbags replaced. Both chrysler and the local dealer states that chrysler has issued no recalls on dodge vehicles. No one will even confirm that this vehicle is safe to drive. I have read and seen several news on the recall on this vehicle. I live in georgia and travel to florida often which was listed as two of the affected areas. Please provide clarity. I ride a toddler daily in this vehicle and really need accurate information. Thanks
I want all the recalls for my truck fixed.
Son was driving south on st. Rd. 25 just north of logansport in. ,it was raining and the truck hydroplaned and went off the road and struck a telephone pole head on at about 30 MPH,totaling the truck. The air bags did not deploy!!
The 2005 dodge ram air bags did not deploy in a crash into a 6 foot brick column and subsequent impact with a travel trailer 4 feet beyond the fence. The point of impact was the center of the front bumper and occurred with sufficient force to push the hood through the windshield. The driver was wearing the seatbelt, but suffered a cracked sternum and concussion by impact with the steering wheel. From the police traffic crash report: a 2012 kia failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of courtside drive and town center loop e in wilsonville, or. The vehicle proceeded through the stop sign at courtside drive and onto town center loop where it came into the path of a north bound 2005 dodge ram. The two vehicles collided with each other in the middle of the northbound lane of town center loop east. The dodge ram continued north bound through the intersection, then off the right side of the road impacting a fence and brick column owned and maintained by the city of wilsonville. The dodge ram had enough momentum to continue through the fence and 6 foot brick column and impact a 30 foot travel trailer which was parked/stored on private property. Both the kia and the dodge ram had extensive damage, as did the travel trailer which was pushed sideways 2 to 4 feet. All 4 stabilizer jacks and the tongue jack were compromised and the trailer frame was visibly damaged/bent. The insurance company determined that the extensive damage to the 2005 dodge ram required it to be totaled, rather than repaired.
During a front end collision, followed by a vehicle rollover, both the driver side and passenger side airbags failed to deploy. The vehicle struck a utility pole on the driver side directly at the headlight. It appears the vehicle then flipped up and hit the roof on the pole before rolling over and coming to rest on the roof.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 1500. The contact was hit head on by a driver who was texting while driving 40 MPH. The contacts vehicle was not moving when the crash occurred. The air bags did not deploy. The contact stated the vehicle was to towed to a local mechanic. The insurance company confirmed that the vehicle was destroyed. The vehicle was inspected, but the insurance company was unable to determine why the air bags did not deploy. The VIN was unknown. The failure and current mileage was 71,000.
Steering failed, truck was having a thumping on right front area, but it was not the tire, it cause me to lose control while steering, the truck was totaled, it rolled over three times, the front driver airbag did not deploy, was saved by my seatbelt, the truck rolled to the right hitting on the passenger side, it had only 44,000 miles, I noticed this problem and took it to be inspected but nothing showed up as it was blamed by the person who drove it as my tires being rough, I already owned them for over a year with about 5000 miles on them and it was not the tire, it was faulty linkage for steering, caused loss of control and this truck was highly maintained, and before I could get a second opinion it was wrecked, as other drivers and other dodge trucks have faulty steering linkage problems, this will cause more accidents for other owners, after the wreck I could see that the linkage was damaged but since it rolled three times the insurance company can not say what exactly cause the sudden loss of steering, the linkage components are not right dodge needs to recall these trucks.
I'm having problems with the airbag system in my 2005 dodge ram 1500. My airbag light started going off any time I turned my steering wheel to the left. Now, the light comes/stays on at any given moment. I had a mechanic run the test and was told that it's the driver's squibb circuit board. I started researching the issue and noticed the 2005 dodge ram 2500 & 3500 had a factory recall for the same issue, yet this same safety issue for the 1500 is not covered.
My 2005 dodge ram quad cab hydroplaned on the interstate and struck a retaining wall almost head on. The entire left side front bumper from the very middle to the far left struck the wall flush. The truck bounced off and did a 540 and the engine died and I was stuck blocking three lanes of interstate traffic. I impacted the wall around 55 MPH. The problem is that my airbags never deployed. Neither the driver or passenger side air bags. I was lucky that I wasn't injured, but I feel there was a defect with the air bags not deploying. The impact was so hard on the bumper that it buckled the frame of my truck.
Vehicle was involved in accident. Vehicle struck "jersey wall" at appx 50 MPH. Neither frontal or side curtain airbags deployed. Vehicle was in accident 12 months prior and was repaired at dodge dealership. Owner questioned dealership as to why. Minor injuries to driver in this second accident with the same vehicle. Owner contacted chrysler corp and received a form letter response.
Vehicle was involved in 2 separate accidents. Air bags did not deploy in either. Vehicle was repaired at dealership after first accident. Driver sustained injuries which has disabled him since 11/2007.
2005 dodge ram air bags failed to deploy in an accident. Consumer states that the impact of the collision was on the left passenger compartment. *kb insurance company on behalf of consumer.
