I was in a head on collision with a Chevy car. This was the other drivers fault as he come into my lane (while taking an illegal left). The car is totaled and my Ram 1500 had close to $14,000 in damages. It is still in the auto body getting repaired. Both the frames are bent. During this accident, none of my airbags were deployed and this shocked me. My body moved back and forth violently due to the collision and absolutely not one airbag was deployed. I strongly believe the airbag system installed in my truck is faulty or designed incorrectly and NHTSA must investigate. Going forward, I do not feel safe in this vehicle as I am not confident that the airbags will be deployed. I've attached few pictures of the damage. We had to pull the entire front bumper from the front left tire almost 12 inches as it was deeply wedged into the tire and we could not move the vehicle for towing. Please help.

The first issue was the airbag light came on when starting and stayed on since and the app said airbag may not deploy. The dealer said in Mar it was safe to drive. In April the truck while engaging the cruise would speed up above cruise set or just turn off without breaking. Now no cruise at all and I am disabled so it would be nice to have that feature for long drives. I called again they said I was welcome to call hq. Now not even a month later I have no horn while driving and needed it. This is the last straw. How is this safe with no airbags or a working horn?

I was in a major motor vehicle accident in where I fell asleep behind the wheel. As a result I swerved right, collided with 20-30 ft of guard rail and rolled at least 2 times. I don't remember a thing since I received a major concussion from slamming my head into the steering wheel at impact. Had my airbags worked, I wouldn't have a massive scar on my forehead, I would be able to defend myself in court because I may have memory of the accident. Neither front airbag deployed, the rest of the truck airbags deployed, including the rear passenger airbag

The rear center brake light apparently leaks into the cabin. This is a common 1500 2019 problem. It leaks into the ceiling surrounding air bags and other electronics. How is this not already recalled" it leaks constantly so how can one tell when it occurs"

The contact owns a 2019 Ram 1500. While driving 50 mph, a semi truck struck the front driver's side door of the contact's vehicle. As a result, the contact lost control and spun around a couple of times. The air bags did not deploy. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The contact sustained injuries to the spine and base of her skull, her left leg was fractured, and her pelvis was shifted and needed realignment. The contact was taken to the emergency room and was seeking medical attention from a chiropractor several times a week. A police report was filed. The contact stated that the rear passenger tire was destroyed, which prevented the vehicle from being driven. The vehicle was towed to a body shop. Gene's Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (located at 3400 S cushman St, fairbanks, ak 99701, (907) 452-7117) was made aware of the failure. When the contact purchased the vehicle on July 1, 2019, she was informed that it had been serviced per NHTSA campaign number: 19V407000 (air bags, seat belts). The manufacturer was notified and opened an investigation. The failure mileage was 3,466.
