I get a message that states Service air ride suspension immediately. After reading several ram forms it seems this is a big problem with these trucks. My airbags are completely inflated.

My father and I were in a collision we were struck head on by another car at a estimated 45-50 mph and not one single air bag deployed and cause my farther to seek medical attention.
Head on collision occurred doing 50mph and airbags did not deploy. Impact was hard enough to twist the frame of the truck.
When I am driving I will randomly get a warning "service airbag system" and then it will turn off randomly. After doing some research and speaking to a dealership this is a known issues with the wiring under the seat. The dealer didn't know if the airbags would still work when the warning was present.
