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.
My 2014 Ram 1500 Express Cab, Black, standards features. 2x4 wheel base. About 9am Oct. 4, 2021. I was at T intersection to turn left with light traffic. I had two red arrow left lane turn. When blindsided by distracted driver in 2014 4 Dr. BMW sedan by striking a center island mount cause the vehicle to jump 4 feet. Struck my driver side quarterpanel to driver door at 50 to 80 mph. Send both across the intersection to opposite curve. I was up right and BMW was laying on dirver side. My curtain and airbag never deployed at all. No fire since inline fuses were cut off power to engine I was pinned in my driver side. Mechanical seats was my savior allowed me to roll seat back so after door was cut off. The airbag was never deploy at all and would protect me from cuts and bruises at distracted driver speeds.
My check air bag system warning light on the dashboard turns on randomly. I had this issue fixed last summer and the dealer said it was a wiring issue. I am concerned this issue has underlying problems.
Had steering harness recall down. Now clockspring gone out. Horn cruise control evic screen frozen. Dealer did recall reports not covered.

My truck continues to light up saying that the fuel cap is loose. I believe that there was a former recall about a crack and engine coolant gas getting into the system, and this was never fixed properly. Also, the airbag light continues to come on, and there was a former recall about that and it was never fixed. These are all while stationary.
2014 dodge ram laramie longhorn, just bought and my service air bag lights are flashing 9n and off. They say its the harness in the drivers seat. When starting the vehicle it flashes and and off, and while driving its flashing on and off. I feel very unsafe driving my own car.
Airbag check light randomly goes off and on will driving. Took truck to dealer in cambridge,mn and was told plug connector for airbag under front passenger seat needs to be replaced. Not covered by warranty so it would cost $650 on top of the inspection fee I now owe because it wasn't a problem that warranty covered. Denied the service, if need be I can fix it myself and better than them just setting up another junk plug connector to probably get same problem return of n new connector.

Air bag light on for two months,had a tech look at it clock spring kit sensor bad ,he said odd as truck is still pretty new, safety concern it controls deployment of air bag,controls horn, cruise control,and engine interface functions:or oil pressure,oil temp,tire pressure display ,the fact that the spring semester can control that many safety features and fail. In less than five years is of need to investigate as repairing is only dealer part and cost is. Cost prohibited as most safety features should have a ten year lifetime at least.a refrigerator does and it runs 24/7.
Cruise control will not turn on. Unable to access horn will not blow, information board unable access, buttons on steering wheel failure. Does recall r36
Electrical seems to have affected 3 items all within the last 6months at different times: non-related categories -(one fog light, front air bags & dash board dimmer switch) # 1 - (fog light) only passenger side, checked fuses, wiring and bulb - all ok, # 2 (dimmer switch does not dim driver side gauges/panel) and # 3- air bag warning light/- warning symbol/picture shows front air bags. Checked recalls, nothing reported on your site note: all other electrical devices etc are in working order at this time (fog light - stationary/performing a walk around for a road trip, gauge/panel- at a idle, air bags- when I started vehicle- warning light appeared, and dimmer switch - does not fully engage dim only dims roof light, not gauges- thank you for your time, have a good day!

While living in virginia in 2015, I proceeded to take my dodge ram in to correct a defective wire harness. Recall notice r36, the federal safety agency 15-459 noted 'the steering wheel wire harness on your vehicle may become chaffed by the driver airbag module retainer spring ends. A chaffed steering wheel wire harness could cause an electrical short and/or an inadvertent driver airbag deployment. Inadvertent driver airbag deployment, during certain driving conditions, may increase the risk of a crash and/or vehicle occupant injury.' after that recall was performed, I lost all use of my horn, and electrical features installed on the steering wheel. I drove several years without these features and never really had time to get this evaluated because of multiple military deployments. We relocated to ohio and I decided to have the truck evaluated and basically the recall work was never corrected by fair oaks chantilly chrysler dealership. On july 8 through july 11, 2019, my vehicle was serviced by jeff wyler chrysler, dodge, jeep in batavia, ohio to corrected the recall notice r36, nhsta 15-459. My service manager noted to submit a claim to be reimbursed for $403.78. They reached out to chrysler headquarters for further consultation, however, they never responded to my service manager.

Service airbag system message keeps coming up. This occurs while stationary, in motion, all the time.
I have been to ram dealers in las vegas several times in the past 16 months to inquire about the shift interlock system recall and they always tell me that the part for replacement is not available at this time and they will call me when they get the part . 2. I haven't been called or mailed a link recall notice for the cruise control system recall. I have also had my truck in the shop for air bag sensors failure messages. Most recently february 2018 and the messages keep repeating. I have been told that they have replaced the seat sensors and wiring harnesses several times the last time they had my truck for 4 days without furnishing a loan or rental car. I'm a 100% disabled veteran and use a wheelchair this is my only vehicle with a wheelchair lift installed to load, unload and transport my wheelchair what are my options?
Took the truck in for service on air bag light issue to the dealer, lawton chrysler jeep dodge ram's truck center located at 215 se interstate dr., lawton, ok 73501. I was informed by an employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design and a cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat. Any seat adjustments, loose objects rolling under the seat, or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks it and may trigger the airbag light to come on.. Interstate dr. Martin ok 73501 I was informed by employee that the airbag light was a common issue due to a bad design in the cheap plastic wiring harness located under the driver side seat in the seat that just meant loose objects rolling under the seat or even a rear passengers foot could potential make contact with the harness in a manner that breaks the plastic part. This would trigger the airbag light. My concern is, will the airbag function properly if I'm in an accident? *dt dodge admitted it was poor design.
