I bought a 2007 Dodge truck from the dealership when it was new. While driving a few days ago, we swerved to avoid hitting a deer, as a result we hit a power pole. The truck perfectly centered the pole, but to our dismay the airbags did not deploy. We were told that there are sensors located at certain points on the truck and if the sensors aren't hit that the airbags wouldn't deploy. We were going about 45-50 mph when the truck hit the pole. I have pictures of the "sensors" where the truck is dented, but the sensors obviously didn't work. What should be our next step? the truck was purchased new at the Dodge dealership in commerce, ga.
While driving at about 65mph, my passenger side front wheel came off the vehicle. I was involved in a solo spinout, accident due to the wheel coming off. The cause was determined to be the lower A-arm of the suspension failing, and letting the ball joint fall out of place. When the wheel was recovered from the accident, it still had the stabilizers attached, along with the ball joint, and various parts of the steering, and 4WD. The accident caused me to hit a guard rail at 65mph, at a 45-degree angle. Amazingly, my airbags did not deploy on impact. I suffered whiplash due to the impact. The point of impact on the truck was the front passenger side.
The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. While driving 65 mph the front of the vehicle crashed into the rear of another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer stated that there was no failure with the air bags. The driver and front passenger were wearing seat belts. The driver hit his head on the steering wheel and sustained bruises. The passenger sustained abdominal injuries. The failure mileage was 400 and the current mileage was 700.
