Problems with 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 AIR BAGS

Takara inflators april 28th 2019 we took our truck to the dodge dealership to have the recalls fixed as they requested. mainly the airbags and they did a 28 point inspection. july 1st 2019 someone pulled out in front of my husband and they were involved in a bad accident. the airbags never went off. my husband hit the steering wheel so hard there's a bruise and mark on his chest and the shape of the steering wheel. it also messed up the steering column and the gear selector. the truck is totaled the frame is bent the suspensions ripped off but we can't figure out why the airbags didn't go off. insurance is being a pain. dodge said they'd send out an investigator so far no one showed up. something should be done about this.

Did not recieve information about a airbag safety recall. i lost control driving on ice went off the road into a ditch at 55mph and hit a tree with the front passenger side of the vehicle. neither air bags deployed. the driver side was replaced in 2015. the passenger side was recalled and ii was never notified. the vehicle was totaled.

Involved in a head on collision, air bags did not deploy. this vehicle had been taken into the dealer upon notice of the recall for tekata tk holdings air bags. the repairs were made. injuries were sustained in this accident,but could have been minimized if our airbags would have deployed. the other driver ran a red light at a high speed driving a 2007 toyota 4 runner. her airbags did deploy just fine. i was making a left turn at the intersection of layton parkway and main street in layton, utah having a green arrow and the right of way proceeded upon visualizing the intersection for all traffic to have stopped, this other driver came off the interstate at a high rate of speed blowing through the red light and hitting us head on. the impact completely lifted my truck up and spun it around a full 180 degrees pointing it in the opposite direction. my rate of speed at the time of the impact was only 5-10 mph

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge ram 2500. the contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per nhtsa campaign numbers: 15v313000 (air bags) and 05v462000 (power train). while exiting the vehicle, the horn began to sound and the warning indicators began to flicker independently. the failure was persistent. the vehicle was taken to a local dealer (b&b chrysler dodge jeep ram 125 grandview avenue, honesdale, pa 18431), but the cause of the failure could not be determined. the contact also stated that the failure was not present prior to the recall repair. the manufacturer was notified and stated that the failure was being investigated. the failure mileage was approximately 375,321.

Takata airbag i received a letter regarding the recall and i went on line so that i would be notified when the part became available. after receiving notice the part was available i called the dealer to make an appointment. they couldn't get me in for 2 weeks. i dropped the truck off at ron tonkin dodge in milwaukie or. they called and notified me that the part was back ordered for another month. i live 45 miles away and making arraignments for a pick up ride to and from dealer is not easy. why am i getting letters telling me the parts are available when they are not. this has been going on for over almost a year from the time i registered on line until today. i thought i had the truck sold with the stipulation i had all recalls and service up to date. the buyer does not want to wait for a month. they will buy another truck. after all this, i am not happy. i tried the phone numbers on the notification, i get a very fast busy signal. i hope no one is injured during the wait.

Takata recall, while looking up the status of the passenger ab recall, i found out that replacement ab were available. i had not received a notice that parts were available as i did for the driver side ab. when i called the dealer that replaced the driver side to find out when i could bring my truck in to have the passenger side replaced i was told that they didn't have any replacements in stock, but they could order one, this was on 5/26/17. after two weeks went by without getting a call that my ab had come in, i called the dealer on 6/5/17, and found out that a recall ab part had arrived and that the dealer didn't think it was important to call & let me know that they could fix my truck. i had to schedule an appointment, not for that day or the next day, but 3 days later. so on 6/8/17, i finally had a serious recall item replaced, but it was only because i followed up on it. then i had to have the dealer order the ab and call to find out why i hadn't been notified when the part came in. final straw was having to wait over three days to have part installed, when it should have been worked in the day i called. i feel that fca doesn't care about a 12 year old vehicle needing an airbag replaced that endangered not only my life, but the life of anyone that choose to ride in my vehicle for over 13 months. that type of disregard for a previous customer is disgraceful and shows a complete lack of concern for anyone owning one of their vehicles. i'm really writing to let you know that if i hadn't been checking on this regularly, i would still have a defective ab in my truck. something is wrong with the parts available notification system with this recall system, especially when the dealer has to order a recall part and then can't notify me when the part is available. then having to wait to get an appointment to have installed for 3 days. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*jb

Takata recall i am contacting you regarding the issue of the airbags being dangerous in my 2005 dodge ram pickup. i have recently been notified that the drivers side airbag is available ( which i will get replaced) but there is " no remedy" for the passenger side airbag. i have also been told by my local dealer that it is not a "dodge issue" regarding a replacement vehicle until a "remedy" can be found! this is where i disagree! if i am correct, dodge bought the item from takata to place in their vehicles. if the part has a recall placed on it then is a "dodge problem"? and shouldn't the manufacturer be responsible for furnishing a replacement vehicle until the unsafe part has been replaced? this vehicle is my everyday driver /commuter to and from work and transporting my family to sports functions and anything in between! i find it unexceptable that dodge has not taken ownership in helping people in my situation since the main problem is the fact that a vehicle they sell doesn't have a remedy fix for the indefinite future ( per the dealer)! dodge needs to do one of two things, either furnish a replacement vehicle or replace my vehicle entirely with an acceptable replacement.

Takata recall is 6 months old, and replacement parts for takata airbag is not available. i live in a high-humidity zone, and my vehicle is 2005, which is older and more subject to airbag cushion failure in the event of a crash. i am experiencing stress from the fear that my passenger will suffer from shrapnel from the airbag failure.

Takata inflator: it has been a year since i've received official recall notification, frequently inquire, yet told there are no inflators. i'm an automotive engineer, and understand the hazard involved and can act as professional witness. why isn't nhtsa resolving a very serious safety issue? when will this get fixed or whom do i sue?
