Had recall 15v‑459 completed at jack powell dodge dealership 06/09/2016. Dealership said they completed recall repair. Airbag light and chime still continuously and intermittently went off while engine running. Truck suffered front end damage in traffic accident 07/29/2016 requiring new bumper, grill and hood. This accident was substantial enough the airbags should have gone off. Airbags did not go off. Still today, airbag chime and sensor light continuously / intermittently goes off. Makes no difference if the transmission is in park or drive; seats occupied or empty. I dont believe the original recall repair was made at dealership.

I was driving a 2012 dodge ram 1500 in motion, traveling south on hwy 20 at 55 MPH. Toyota tundra ran stop sign on mckenzie rd/ hwy 20 and was cited for infraction traveling approximately 45 MPH. Toyota tundra hit passenger side of dodge ram cab broadside causing dodge ram to rollover twice in ditch eventually landing on wheels and stopping. Driver side airbags and driver front air bag did not inflate in dodge ram. Only passenger side airbags inflated in dodge ram. I was the driver of the dodge ram and received concussion from hitting head on steering wheel and neck and back injuries from hitting driver side door during rollovers. I was wearing a seatbelt. The dodge ram and toyota tundra were declared a total loss by insurance company. The impact of the collision was severe enough to drastically impact speed of the dodge ram and cause major vehicle damage during roll over. Why didn't driver side airbags deploy? Attached are photos and citation for accident. *dt

My ram 2012 truck was involved in a crash on the highway I-83 north bound in pa. My truck was in park when it was struck from the behind by a jeep limited. The force launched my truck forward and hit the vehicle in front of me that was about 10-15 feet away. I am guessing the speed of jeep when I was struck was atleast 40 MPH or more. The airbags did not deployed. The damage to my truck is almost $12,000. Damages were to the front, rear, and the frame of the truck. Damages to the other two vehicles were far worst
