problem #11

Ram 2500 4WD Diesel

  • miles
In a head-on collision, the air-bag did not deploy for the driver. Dodge inspected and claimed that the collision was slightly or not perfectly straight-on (damage is across entire front and passenger had to be pried-out of the vehicle). The auto club declared the vehicle a total loss. Owner believes air-bags should have worked. A second opinion, other than by the mfg. Is desired. Wife of driver believes she heard a recall on the news for steering on Dodge trucks having to do with airbags but cannot find it in writing. Please advise.

The airbag warning light came on and stayed on the day after I purchased my vehicle. The dealer was immediately contacted and they advised that the airbag would most probably not deploy in the event ot a collision. I was also advised they had a previous occurrence, recently, of the same nature and believed it might be somehow caused by an anti-theft system the dealer installs on all their vehicles.
