Takata recall. I was driving at approximately 65 mph in a 70mph zone in the rain. Truck hydroplane and I spun across the highway and impacted a cement wall on the driver's side. The seat airbag failed to deploy resulting in me hitting the door, causing bruising to my ribs and shoulder on my left side.

Vehicle was recalled. Odessa Dodge (manager larry hook) had the vehicle 7 times and couldnt' fix it-originally started within warranty. Warranty is now expired and odessa Dodge doesn't know how to fix so they sent me to monahans Dodge and Dodge corporate will pay for it. Monahans Dodge said they know nothing about arrangement. Dodge corporate says "wait and see". airbag light keeps coming on. Waaaaaay too many documents to submit online-probably close to 100 pages. Also have picture of diagnosis from dealership, say they want me to pay $249 for another diagnosis.

I was a passenger an driver swerved off the road to avoid hitting heard of burro's in nv. Hit head on tree no airbags deployed though local Dodge dealership said they had been replaced, seatbelts failed as well now I suffering from broken right kbee brused up left knee hit knee's elbows an my head was swong forward at an abrupt stop hit at 50mph. Went to hospital the recommended bone specialist they are going to do mri but only on right knee well my hands are numb an though I keep complaining no one is listening no one if recommendng a doctor. The local dealership here in pahrump nv are crooks they keep truck 5 hours we get it back with 48 new minles on it they dented hood twice. An at this point I would like vehicle inspected that the airbags were ever even replaced in 2016 at this point with failer to deploy at head on 50mph I highly doubt they replaced any recalked parts just recieved the seatbelt recall on 7/6/2017 an I'm sure that is late on their part to even notify us. Vehicle was in motion when we hit right side front an left side of vehicle. Everything has to be replaced except tail gate or the cab dois tirers rims an everything else must be replaced.

While in motion on a highway during a rainstorm, vehicle hydroplaned resulting in a rollover into the median. Vehicle rolled over 3-4 times. None of the airbags deployed. Driver received broken rib and pain on left side of body, anxiety/depression. Passenger hit head on window frame, headache, pain to right side under ribs and in back below ribs, anxiety/trouble sleeping.
Primary compliant is that airbag sensor indicated that the airbag is not functioning properly. Technician notes: Airbag light is on; be body electrical concern. Found code B0028-13 and found open circuit on seat back airbag harness during wiggle test, replace harness to correct concern. After repairs code went stored and cleared. Now, I just purchased this vehicle new from grapevine Dodge Chrysler Jeep January 2015, this vehicle is on a regular maintenance plan and has not been involved in any major accidents. Therefore, if the wiring is found faulty I believe this is a manufactures problem. Total out of pocket cost totaled $350.17 plus tax. I reached out to Chrysler care and submitted documentation and receipt for reimbursement and I have been informed that airbags are not covered by warranty. Concerned that manufacture received information stating airbag not functioning and they are not taking responsibility to repair and correct.
2012 to present Ram 1500 and other model Ram pickups have a defect in the roof seam sealing system allowing water to intrude through the roof at the rear of the headliner. Water enters the roof at one or both corners and soaks the side curtain airbags and airbag wiring harness. Today I checked and my side curtain airbags and wiring were soaked due to this leaking issue. I am fixing mine immediately on my to prevent serious injury or death due to corrosion or shorting of the wiring and water soaked airbags causing them to either deploy unexpectedly or not deploy during a crash. Dealers are declining to make the repair indicating it is a cosmetic issue and vehicle owners must pay to have it fixed. This should be an immediate recall due to the high risks of serious injury and death if the airbags deploy unexpectedly on a rear passenger or worse a child and in the event of a crash, not deploy at all or deploy improperly due to being wet and/or electrical short issues. The water comes in at the roof where the rubber strips are meant to seal the roof front to back but there is still small holes that aren't sealed causing the water to get in.
I had a air bad recall regarding the side airbags that I had fixed at adams automotive of annapolis and then on 5/07/14 I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident due to the side curtain airbags deploying while I was driving. After the collision involving 6 cars when my side airbags deployed, none of the other front airbags deployed when they should have because of how bad the front impact was. I was injured very badly due to this and am possibly being held responsible for the accident until Chrysler can confirm this is a big issue regarding the Ram pickups! luckily there was no severe injuries but I now have lumbar back injuries and left shoulder injuries, not including what happened to others involved. Do I need to hire an attorney?..updated 09/14/17

I've owned 4 Chrysler/Dodge vehicles 98 avenger, 99 Ram 1500, 03 300 M and now 2014 Ram 1500 which everyone has had electrical issues. I have not put money into my new truck yet but have put thousands into other vehicles before I sold them for less than blue book just to be rid of all the issues. I bought my currant truck new in June 2014, I first began noticing glitches late summer 2015 and now there are electric surges, fault indicators that are fine and lights will not shut off killing my battery. I bought new this time assuming I would eliminate these issues but I was wrong, my truck has had no accidents of any sort and yet I have a $35,000 truck that's unreliable as well as unsafe. Durning my research Chrysler has been aware of this issue for decades and should be responsible for their lack of safety concerns for their customers. Very disheartening as well as frustrating
