ALL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING MAJOR COLLISION! FAULTY AIRBAGS I was driving in the dark on Tuesday evening 11-16-2021 in the 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 truck. At around 6:00pm I was going through a right hand corner in a mountain area that had free range cattle. Over the mountains ⛰ heading back home 🏡 the day turned to night. Coming around a right sweeping🧹corner going around 45-48 mph out of nowhere the unthinkable happened…. A familiar face suddenly appeared in the dark. A cow, rather a huge bull 🐮 🐄 in the middle of the highway! 🛣 It all happened so fast… Head on collision 💥 My reaction was an evasive maneuver steering wheel crank left. If I had not reacted like stated above, crash should have killed me. This move I believe is what saved my life because it offset the contact more to the passenger side. He hit head on yes but now glanced off to my right which kept the rear of the truck from coming around. His massive weight saved me from rolling… The damage to front and passenger side is major The air bags should have deployed . They did not. My insurance confirmed in claim that the air bags did not deploy I filed with them at the time of the accident. The Deputy Sheriff inspected the vehicle and also noted in the police report that the airbags did not deploy. There were no warning lights that indicated any problems at all.

I was a passenger an driver swerved off the road to avoid hitting heard of burro's in nv. Hit head on tree no airbags deployed though local dodge dealership said they had been replaced, seatbelts failed as well now I suffering from broken right kbee brused up left knee hit knee's elbows an my head was swong forward at an abrupt stop hit at 50mph. Went to hospital the recommended bone specialist they are going to do mri but only on right knee well my hands are numb an though I keep complaining no one is listening no one if recommendng a doctor. The local dealership here in pahrump nv are crooks they keep truck 5 hours we get it back with 48 new minles on it they dented hood twice. An at this point I would like vehicle inspected that the airbags were ever even replaced in 2016 at this point with failer to deploy at head on 50mph I highly doubt they replaced any recalked parts just recieved the seatbelt recall on 7/6/2017 an I'm sure that is late on their part to even notify us. Vehicle was in motion when we hit right side front an left side of vehicle. Everything has to be replaced except tail gate or the cab dois tirers rims an everything else must be replaced.
