Driving on level road at 30-35 MPH when airbag went off without warning or reason knocking me unconscious. Truck went off road across field and hit trees at greater speed totaling the truck and giving me head injuries. Truck had recall on it for airbag on drivers side going off due to some wiring harness problem. Had taken truck into dealership the day before accident to have recalls taken care off. I guess not !!

2014 ram truck 15000 miles. Pushing two years old. Day one -- starts great, runs about 2minutes, dies. This occurred for about 3 months, back to back repairs, had to use roadside service. Finally cured that. Next problem to this exact date-- airbag light on right now!! Dealership has tried numerous repairs and fixes, no luck! Many trips back and forth to dealership, (8 repair orders) still on right now! Not fixed!! 4 attempts or cases with their "star team" whatever that is? They suck!! Chrysler resolution team has tried and I said tried to resolve, offered me $$$ and wipe out past history, extended warranties, I said take that and stick it up your ??? Really, I just want airbag fixed not cover it up and think im desperate for money, guess what? Im not!! Now have retained a lemon law attorney to maybe help. Its been many months and chrysler tells him "no refund or replace" then chrysler attorneys tried to offer me $2000 and think I would be happy and say "sure". Then again I told my attorney to tell them to stick that up their [xxx]!! Do they think im that easy or stupid!! Plain and simple and you will understand when I tell you this ------ its my life your messing with daily, 50/50 chance it might or might not work, russian roulette every time I sit behind the wheel and drive, they don't care!!

I am extremely concerned that I was in an accident this morning totalling the truck and the air bags did not deploy. Why???
Today is july 10, 2015. The vehicle is 2014 dodge ram 1500 crew cab pickup purchase new. On the steering wheel where the horn and airbag are located the seam cracked or separated starting just below the letter "s" stamped on it for SRS airbags and if you are sitting in the drivers seat and looking at the wheel the crack or separation continues from that point and runs straight to the right and up to the end of the cover for the SRS airbag in the steering wheel. When the horn is pressed the casing which is cracked or separated scratches you or your fingers get stuck or caught inside the opening. The dealer stated that because the mileage is over the 3 year 36000 mile warranty it would not be covered. However, if we agreed to have additional maintenance done today unrelated to the free oil change they would cover the cost to repair the defect. Please note the dealer confirmed it was a manufactured defect. I contacted chrysler and filed a complaint with them.
My wife was driving and came to a stop at a light, once stopped the service airbag soon lamp came on and stayed on for about 15 minutes. Then just last week it had the same error code on the screen while I was driving but I wasn't stopped. It stayed on about 20 minutes this time.
Swerved to miss a deer. Brushed a bank with the tire only. No damage to vehicle. Just airbag damage to interior.
Airbags deployed in a minor sideswipe collision at highway speed. The driver was not able to control the vehicle because of the smoke (dust?) from the airbag inflation and the bag itself in his face that prevented him from seeing where he was going. We hit a utility pole at speed and several trees which eventually stopped the truck. The airbags deployed at the initial (very minor) impact and were of no benefit to us in the subsequent major impacts that we could not even see coming. In this case driver error may have caused the initial impact but many accidents of this type may follow deer/auto crashes that occur at highway speeds and do not slow the vehicle down. Perhaps the threshold impact for airbag deployment should be higher or airbag deployment modified so drivers are able to control their vehicle after an initial impact that does not stop the vehicle. I have to wonder how many human deaths in deer/auto collisions result from secondary impacts at high speed because drivers could not stop their auto safely because of airbag deployment at the initial hit.
On july 30th I was driving my 2014 ram 1500 though an intersection and got hit by another truck going through the light (passenger side rear tire). This spun my truck sideways and rolled it 2 or 3 times about 50 feet. At this point the truck was laying on its passenger side door. After looking over the vehicle, I noticed that the only airbag that went off was the driver side curtain. There were 5 people in the truck and only one sustained major injuries. My mother had a broken neck and back and ended up spending about a month in the hospital. The other 3 people in the car were my 2 children and wife. We were very fortunate, but with only one air bag deploying it could have been allot worse. *tr ..updated 05/09/17 *bf
I wrote a prior complaint regarding the air bags. I had taken the truck in 7 times. After I received an email back stating the case was closed, I was upset. I contacted chrysler one more time, and they apologized and reimbursed me for most of the repairs. In the end, I was pleased that they recognized the problem and were willing to rectify the situation..
The vehicle hit the guard rail and turned over onto its side. No airbags deployed. The truck was total. The airbags should have deployed and could have minimized the injures.
