The key easily disengages from the "run" position and cuts off the engine, causing loss of steering and control. This can even occur if the key is accidentally bumped by your knee. This is identical to the reported affects of the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v373000. My 2008 dodge ram 1500 is not listed in that notice. This is a very dangerous issue, and doing an internet search there are other owners that have reported the same issue.

My name is [xxx] and I've been waiting for this recall to be fixed since I received this recall back in may, and it scares me everyday knowing that I could die driving everyday!! I don't like this at all I have a family always in the car with me. I drive an hour and a half there and an hour and a half back and forth to work everyday. I also live in florida which is one of the most humid states in the u.s. And it says the problem is more likely to occur in high levels of humidity, well that's exactly what my vehicle experiences everyday!! This may not only kill me and/or my family but others around me if this causes me to lose control of my vehicle!! Im really worried even more now than I was before since the federal safety agency has made this situation loud and clear and chrysler has admitted this failure!! I've already thought about getting rid of my truck because I have no idea when this problem will be fixed, I need to know something asap!!! Please respond immediately!!

The driver airbag inflator has been recalled and should be replaced; however, dodge does not have replacement parts available. This is unacceptable. The safety risks involved include "metal fragments striking and potentially injuring the vehicle occupants."
My dodge ram air bags are listed as a potential hazard on the web sight. Can a dealership disconnect them until this is resolved. Please advise.
I took my truck in for an oil change and to have the air bag light that was coming on intermittently. After the diagnoses was done I was informed that the clock spring was broken. I asked what this spring controlled and was informed of a variety of things including the air bag system. I asked if the air bags would deploy if I was to get into an accident and was told no they wouldn't. So I had it repaired at a cost of almost $400.00. After talking to other people I found out that this was a common problem with a variety of vehicles. I thinking that there should be a look into these clock springs. It sounds like this is a common item that fails.

The vehicle was scheduled to be repaired by an authorized dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number: 13v529000 (steering) or 13v528000 (steering) but the contact stated that the vehicle exhibited the same failure as stated in both recalls.

My 16 year old daughter was driving down a dirt road and a deer ran out in front of her and she swerved to miss it and over corrected and the back end of the truck spun around and flipped the truck side over side and totaled the truck but neither air bag ever deployed.

While driving on a rural road close to home I had to swerve to the left to avoid a deer in the road when I swerved left I instantly impacted a telephone pole and came to a violent stop without the airbag deploying to protect me. I suffered neck , back and hand injuries as well as a severe concussion. I will be forever afraid to drive another dodge vehicle or any vehicle in which my life is dependent on whether or not my airbag is going to open. The front end of the truck is pushed in to the engine block. Scary very very scary to think that there could be the same incident in the future that could result in death.
