So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

The vehicle hit a tree and bent the bumper in the center and pushed it back into the engine the air bag should have deployed upon impact. We feel this is a manufacturing defect.

This is the second accident I have reported to you. The first was yesterday. I want to apologize. I switched the VIN numbers. The VIN number for ODI # 758677 should have been [xxx]. the accident this current report refers to a sacramento county Dodge Ram 1500 truck that was used by our park Ranger. It was traveling down a trail road at high speed when the driver lost control and hit a tree head on. The air bags did not deploy. Please see my comments from my previous report for my worries about the quality of Dodge's investigation. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Recall 01 V 153 000/clockspring material: Air bag sensor light came on. While driving steering would make noises. Problem was intermittent. Dealer was contacted. Feel free to provide any further information.
While traveling at 50 mph and as a result of a collision air bags did not deploy, and seat belts came unlatched, causing injuries to driver. Manufacturer has been notified. Please provide further inoformation.
I was in an auto accident where I rear ended a tractor trailer. I was traveling 70mph and the tractor trailer 55mph. I hit the truck exactly perpendicular and the front of my truck was crushed in about 2 feet. The frame was severly damaged and had to be replaced. I am filing this because the body shop highly recommended we take action. He said the area where the sensors for the airbags are located was mangled and that the airbags should have deployed. The airbag system was checked by john keltner (lic. # 35844). His remarks were that the system test was performed and no problems were found at this time and no repairs were needed. I am aware of some recalls with Dodge and wanted to be sure the airbag systems would be covered. Thank you for your help.
While traveling at approximately 25 mph consumer's vehicle broadsided another vehicle that pulled out in front of his vehicle. Frontal air bags failed to deploy, and consumer sustained back pains. Insurance company has totaled vehicle, and made no determination as why frontal air bags failed to deploy. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
When truck was hit by a Bronco, Bronco travelng about 50 mph, on the passenger's front side, there was no deployment of the air bag. Also, the driver's or passenger's side seat belt did not lock causing injuries to driver and passenger.
