I was going to work traveling south on a magor road going 35 MPH when another vehicle cut directly in front of my path making a left hand turn onto a cross street. There was no time to brake and my vehicle slammed into him. The other driver was cited by the police with a "failure to yield" citation. My seat belt did not lock and the airbags did not deploy. Upon impact my body was thrown forward and up resulting in whiplash and other injuries to my neck, shoulders and back. I hit my head on the front visor area and my chest area on the steering wheel.

I have two complaints. I will start with the serious one first. While driving my 2006 dodge ram truck down the interstate, it suddenly shut down. I had no power steering. This was a very dangerous situation trying to steer over to the emergency lane. Once over I put the vehicle in park, and it started up, like nothing happen. This happen twice within 2years. I see that the same complaint was filed by another dodge owner(#10270010). Im taking my truck to the dealer tomorrow to see what the problem is. The second complaint is the rear middle seat belt locks up and will not release. I see this is also a problem with other owners. Complaint #'s 10248480, and 10237215. These problems, especially the first should put on a recall list.
Rear seat (middle) passenger seat belt gets locked. Fails to use. (related vehicle information: model year=2006, make=dodge, model=ram 1500).
