The contact owned a 2013 Ram 1500. The contact stated that while making a left turn at low speeds, the steering wheel failed to re-align to drive straight. The contact veered off the road and crashed into the rear of another vehicle causing the front driver tire, lower ball joint separated from the steering knuckle, inner tie rod end, shock assembly and lower control arm to detach. The vehicle was restarted and the steering resumed to normal but due to the front driver side damage, it needed to be towed. The contact mentioned that the power steering failed on several occasions while driving at low speeds. The air bag failed to deploy and the seat belt failed to restrain him. As a result, the contact hit his face and wrist against the steering wheel and windshield glass. The contact mentioned he would be going to the hospital for his injuries. The other driver was not injured. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contacts residence. The dealer nor manufacturer were informed of the failure. The vehicle was destroyed. The failure mileage was approximately 97,000.

The passenger occupancy sensor does not work properly which disables the airbag even if somebody is riding and the passenger side because the vehicle thinks nobody is there this could potentially be fatal for the passenger during a crash I found this out when a passenger unbuckled the seat belt (this happens while driving or stationary) the chime/ light did not come on after further inspection I found that the in the seat pad sensor must be faulty I've reached out to Ram they have no intentions of repairing the faulty safety equipment.
