I purchased a 2012 dodge ram 1500 truck with slightly less than 36000 miles. The airbag light was going on and off intermittently thus indicating the airbags would not be deployed upon impact. I took the truck in to an authorized dodge dealership 7 times in an attempt to correct the problem. It seems at this point it is finally fixed (it sometimes takes 2-3 weeks before the problem recurs). The first time I took it into the dealership, they indicated that the airbag on the driver's side had been hardwired. According to the dealership, this was the fix for the problem at the time by chrysler, and this was verified by chrysler corp. There are many such complaints on the internet. Unfortunately, I do not feel that most individuals know where to report faulty problems in order to force a change. I spent approximately $2000. I am sure if the dealership had not stepped into help that the bill would have been closer to $4500. Corresponding with chrysler proved to be frustrating. I was told by chrysler that after I felt the problem was fixed I should fax the bills to them. The dealership even tried to get them to pay for the parts. I just received an phone message from them indicating the problem is fixed, and case will be closed. There was no reference for reimbursement. Of course, I will write them back. I think what bothered me most was that when I informed them that there were complaints on-line and an article from upi indicating the federal safety agency had similar complaints, I was told that we don't listen to them. I am concerned that individuals may not realize that if the light is on the airbags will not deploy. Note: the light went on at various speeds from 10-70 MPH.
My wife was in a wreck yesterday she hit a truck in the rear end and airbags did not deploy causing her facial injuries also a later surgery.
I was driving my sons 2012 ram 1500 4x4 crew cab with less than 20k on the odometer back from texas to north carolina. I fell asleep at the wheel and we ran into a portable tow behind highway construction sign, bounced off a guard rail and then rolled several times down the freeway embankment on I-20 in tuscaloosa alabama. Not one of the 6 airbags in the vehicle deployed. Luckily my son and his two daughters escaped practically injury free, with only minor abrasions, however I took a beating to the head and am still out of work 1 month later due to head/concussion injury. None of the side curtain airbags, side impact or frontal impact airbags deployed. I do have pictures of the truck, which was totaled, to validate this. I also have a copy of the police report stating none of the airbags deployed. What should I do? And who else should I contact?
Traveling approx 45mph. Another driver failed to yield and hit my vehicle on the passenger side front head light. The other driver was trying to cross the highway going approx 15-25mph. The impact was almost a complete head-on collision. The airbags in my vehicle did not deploy. My passenger and I were both transported by ambulance and later released by the hospital.

The contact was the only person injured. The vehicle was taken to dealer for a diagnosis. The dealer was unable to determine the failure.

Very concerned about the two front airbags while watching the crash test ratings. The driver completely collapsed the bag, hitting his head on the steering wheel and the passenger bag was above average but seemed too aggressive causing the passenger to whip lash back towards the seat. A great passenger occupancy during the test and overall excellent truck. Thanks for your time.
