Recently I was involved in a car accident with my 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. I was struct by a car at approximately 35 mph and hit directly on the drivers side, (T-boned) the truck is equipped with side air bags and front air bags, which never deployed. The accident brought extensive damages to the truck and injuries to my wife and I. I reported the non deployment to Dodge in which case a special inspector was sent out to thomas Dodge where he ran diagnostics of the airbags computer. No fault signals were found. Dodge response to the investigation was ! impact was not sufficient to merit air bag deployment!. department of transportation safety says the bag is inflated at a certain crash threshold, usually corresponding to a speed of the impacting vehicle of more than 15-20 km/H. Dodge refused to act on it so the question should be to myself, Dodge Ram owners and perspective buyers, ,,will my airbags deploy when I need them to"?" be ware.

My husband hydro planned on a 3 line highway. Trucked flipped multiple times. Husband needed medical attention. No air bags deployed even when having side airbags. My concern is that this vehicle had faulty side airbags and if they had deployed would have protected his head more.

I accidentally rolled into a cyclone fence. I knew I couldn't have done damage at such a low speed. But I did check the fence and no damage. When I checked my vehicle there was a dent in the fascia from the fence wire. This is when I noticed the bumper was flush with the fascia front and sides. What good is a bumper that doesn't protect the body panels? this could be an expensive repair even at 5 mph, or a eye sore for a new expensive vehicle.
