Tl* the contact owns a 2008 dodge ram 1500. while driving 30 mph, the contact rear ended the preceding vehicle. the frontal air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained bruises to the neck and shoulders and was transported to the hospital via ambulance. the vehicle was unable to be driven and was towed to an impound lot. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 256,000.

Is there was an expiration date on the air bag recall for this vehicle? i have tried to get the recall repaired, but the dealer didn't have anymore parts in stock. that was last summer, and now they are backed up with appointments. i am not complaining about the dealer. i just want to make sure the time does not run out for the repairs to be done on this vehicle.

I was pulling out of a shopping mall turning left on the hwy 5 in holly springs ga when i was struck by another vehicle that ran a red light. the impact to my truck was just in front of the drivers side front wheel. the bumper was crushed all the way to the frame and the frame was bent over 1 foot. the truck had both front and side air bags and none of them went off. my head hit the side of the drivers window and doctors are saying i may need both shoulder and neck surgery. i believe this would not be the case if the air bags had deployed. while i was not traveling very fast,the other car was traveling fast enough to total my truck
