Well for starters the air bag light come. Took it back they said nothing wrong had a bottle under seat.ok whatever than time goes on air bag light still on.take it back.they replace the air bag brain so im told. Lights off for about a couple weeks.then comes back on. Im so tried of dealing with this. And then I have problems with the tires which got rotated like there supposed too. They wore out on the inside. I was told by one place it need a front end alignment. So I proceed to get one and they had told me my camber alignment bolt was bent and it need to be dealt with a the dealer, because it could be a defect. So I took it to the dealer and the said they did the alignment and it was fixed.I hope so never got it checked again. I dont hold my breathe for that. Then my suspension leans to the rightside just a little but nothings wrongs so im told by the dealer. And my dash lights used to come on and flash and the radio was overheating had to get a new on. Keep in mind the was less than a year old when this all started and I brought brand new with only 5 miles on it from my test drive. And im the only owner and its three yrs old now, with the same continuing problems. They dealer says theres nothing wrong bs.....
My airbag light comes on the dashboard and stays on for a while sometimes goes off then comes right back on. My windshield washer fluid message comes on even whith a full tank of fluid. My driver side window goes up and down on its own sometimes. My main concern is the "death wobble" coming from the front end when traveling at highway speeds. If you guys could enlighten me on all of this that would be great because I searched my VIN number and no recalls came up. I don't want to be driving down the freeway and my steering suddenly goes. Also god for bid I get into an accident I want to make sure my airbags will deploy.

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 truck with slightly less than 36000 miles. The airbag light was going on and off intermittently thus indicating the airbags would not be deployed upon impact. I took the truck in to an authorized Dodge dealership 7 times in an attempt to correct the problem. It seems at this point it is finally fixed (it sometimes takes 2-3 weeks before the problem recurs). The first time I took it into the dealership, they indicated that the airbag on the driver's side had been hardwired. According to the dealership, this was the fix for the problem at the time by Chrysler, and this was verified by Chrysler Corp. There are many such complaints on the internet. Unfortunately, I do not feel that most individuals know where to report faulty problems in order to force a change. I spent approximately $2000. I am sure if the dealership had not stepped into help that the bill would have been closer to $4500. Corresponding with Chrysler proved to be frustrating. I was told by Chrysler that after I felt the problem was fixed I should fax the bills to them. The dealership even tried to get them to pay for the parts. I just received an phone message from them indicating the problem is fixed, and case will be closed. There was no reference for reimbursement. Of course, I will write them back. I think what bothered me most was that when I informed them that there were complaints on-line and an article from upi indicating NHTSA had similar complaints, I was told that we don't listen to them. I am concerned that individuals may not realize that if the light is on the airbags will not deploy. Note: The light went on at various speeds from 10-70 mph.
I was driving my sons 2012 Ram 1500 4X4 crew cab with less than 20K on the odometer back from Texas to North Carolina. I fell asleep at the wheel and we ran into a portable tow behind highway construction sign, bounced off a guard rail and then rolled several times down the freeway embankment on I-20 in tuscaloosa Alabama. Not one of the 6 airbags in the vehicle deployed. Luckily my son and his two daughters escaped practically injury free, with only minor abrasions, however I took a beating to the head and am still out of work 1 month later due to head/concussion injury. None of the side curtain airbags, side impact or frontal impact airbags deployed. I do have pictures of the truck, which was totaled, to validate this. I also have a copy of the police report stating none of the airbags deployed. What should I do" and who else should I contact"
Traveling approx 45mph. Another driver failed to yield and hit my vehicle on the passenger side front head light. The other driver was trying to cross the highway going approx 15-25mph. The impact was almost a complete head-on collision. The airbags in my vehicle did not deploy. My passenger and I were both transported by ambulance and later released by the hospital.
The contact owns a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph, another vehicle crashed in to the passenger side and the air bags did not deploy. The contact was the only person injured. The vehicle was taken to dealer for a diagnosis. The dealer was unable to determine the failure. The manufacturer was contacted and also stated that no failure occurred. The failure mileage was 40 and the current mileage was 90.
Very concerned about the two front airbags while watching the crash test ratings. The driver completely collapsed the bag, hitting his head on the steering wheel and the passenger bag was above average but seemed too aggressive causing the passenger to whip lash back towards the seat. A great passenger occupancy during the test and overall excellent truck. Thanks for your time.
