It was 12/26/2009 I was driving a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 I was driving 50mph and swerved from deer to the left caught edge of road and mud and side swiped a tree then hitting a 5ft wide tree headon coming to a dead stop and the airbags never went off they were tested okay and the Ohio state highway patrol said they should have deployed I also was told by state farm ins the same thing I then notified Chrysler Corp and was sent a letter that it was looked at and they said it wasn't a direct front end hit I have proof from pics that it was and it was a defect and they will not stand behind anything all I asked was why they didn't go off and a truck to replace it due to having my life flash before me this should be a mandatory recall to fix this or people will loose their lives and Chrysler Corp doesn't care about saving lives please check into this and like I said I have pictures for proof that it was a direct hit at 50 mph.
Serious front end crash, occurred when 3 vehicles slammed on brakes to avoid a child and 2 dogs darting into the street. I was 3rd truck. Front end badly damaged, may be totaled air bags did not deploy. Have seen almost fifty complaints re 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 pick up. So far, Chrysler has done zilch about it. Many injuries. How can they continue to get away with it. Who is watching out for us"? do we have to go on television to get someone to listen to us?"
The dash on my 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab began cracking about a year ago. At this time I have two large cracks that have met to form a half moon shape that is sticking up from the rest of the dash. I also ha have two smaller cracks that extend from the windshield to the edge of the dash where it curves down to the airbag. I am certain that should the airbag deploy in a crash sections of the dash were the cracks are will fly off and cause further injury to anyone in the passenger compartment.
My 2000 Dodge Ram 4X4 almost killed me no air bag and I was buckled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in williamsburg va. I had a 2000 Dodge Ram and was in a rear end collision accident on route 60 West at 55 mph. I hit a stationary vehicle in the rear making a left turn. I have 17 stitches in my nose, broken nose, and bruised ribs. I was severely bruised by the seat belt and when the air bag did not go off at 55mph to zero deceleration my face was split open by the steering wheel. The air bag did not deploy and I was buckled, I read about all these problems with Dodge and the airbags, I am the second owner of the truck and I am very good friends with the original owner he and I have all service records this is not right I could have been killed now I am scared for life please assist me in any possible to remedy this issue my son sure liked seeing his father look like beast in beauty and the beast on his first fathers day.
Complete collapse of plastic dashboard and gauge bezel. The top of the dashboard had so many stress cracks that there were no gaping holes in the top. It was possible to access all of the wiring through the top of the dashboard. This seemed to be a safety issue as there was no structural integrity to the dashboard now if the airbags deployed.
