While driving about 50 MPH both air bags deployed without a reason.

Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision, and the airbags did not deploy, resulting in minor injuries. Dealer has been contacted, and the manufacturer will be notified.
I was involved in a collision with my dodge ram pickup. A man turned in front of me and the front of my truck hit the side of his car. No airbags deployed, and I was moving at a good rate of speed (35-40 MPH). I did contact dodge, but they are sitting on their hands, and are not sending out an investigation team to find out why the airbags didn't deploy. I would like for the federal safety agency to conduct an investigation of their own. The truck hasn't been worked on, but the insurance company is antsy to get the truck fixed, since I am in a rental vehicle. Is there any way of having the federal safety agency come out and do an investigation in a timely matter (within a week (by 11/10))?

Consumer was driving appoximately 50 MPH. Upon impact, while driving an unfamiliar road which turned into a curve, lost control of vehicle. Hit a tree at 50mph,and neither air bag deployed. Vehicle hit head-on on the passenger's side.
Chrysler denies liability. It was 2-3 degrees off center impact. Point of interest: chrysler recalled 98 ram trucks and vans due to faulty air bag sensors. I also find it hard to fathom that many accidents are exactly square when the impact. My truck was only very slightly angled 2-3 degrees at impact and did so much damage the entire frame must be replaced. Icar certified airbag mechanics that saw the truck all said that the airbags should have deployed without doubt. It is very difficult for an owner to take on chrysler and their laywers. I feel that they know they have a problem and are just trying toblow me off. Thanks for your help and interest in this matter.
