Problems with 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 AIR BAGS

We have contacted the dealership and have been told that they do not have the parts to fix our truck. it has been 4 months since the recall was issued and we are still waiting for parts to arrive. we are afraid to drive our truck because according to the recall letter an accident could result in a death because of defective parts. we continue to contact the dealership , crown dodge of fayetteville, nc and continue to be told the parts are not in. we have a 6 hour trip planned in the near future and need this truck to be road worthy. *tr

Contact owns a 2005 ram 1500 slt 4.7l. contact states this has happened several times randomly. truck will die while driving down the road or maneuvering at low speeds. truck has had one random incident of over heating and had to pull over and shut truck off to cool down. restarted just fine! plastic seat belt buckles have broken and seat belts don't retract fully. then around april 2014 started hearing a whining grinding,howling noise thought it was the tires or the road. after a few months the noise was still there so called a repair shop took it in. had it looked at. the repair shop diagnosed it to be the rear differential pinion nut backing off. repair shop said the truck needs the differential repaired or replaced. a short time later, i received a recall notice around february on the truck for p77 & p81. have contacted dealer via phone on several occasions. dealer says parts are not available at this time, and don't know when the parts will be available to remedy the situation. it has been almost 3 months since i received the notice. i am concerned about the safety of the vehicle occupants and/or other's safety.*(since the problem is, the rear axle pinion nut on your truck may have been built without an adhesive patch on the pinion nut threads. the lack of this adhesive patch could allow the rear axle pinion nut to loosen and/or the rear drive shaft to separate from the rear axle. a loose pinion nut could cause the rear axle to seize and a separated drive shaft could cause loss of motive power. either situation could cause a crash with out warning! and the airbag inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking and potentially injuring the vehicle occupants).dealership says should be okay to drive.!! i don't see how dodge chrysler! can keep production/sales of these unsafe vehicles. when so many vehicles are being recalled. thank you for your attention of this matter. *tr updated 06/29/15.*jb

I have contacted my local dealer and chrysler direct to have airbags replaced. both chrysler and the local dealer states that chrysler has issued no recalls on dodge vehicles. no one will even confirm that this vehicle is safe to drive. i have read and seen several news on the recall on this vehicle. i live in georgia and travel to florida often which was listed as two of the affected areas. please provide clarity. i ride a toddler daily in this vehicle and really need accurate information. thanks *tr

I want all the recalls for my truck fixed. *tr

Son was driving south on st. rd. 25 just north of logansport in. ,it was raining and the truck hydroplaned and went off the road and struck a telephone pole head on at about 30 mph,totaling the truck. the air bags did not deploy!! *tr

The 2005 dodge ram air bags did not deploy in a crash into a 6 foot brick column and subsequent impact with a travel trailer 4 feet beyond the fence. the point of impact was the center of the front bumper and occurred with sufficient force to push the hood through the windshield. the driver was wearing the seatbelt, but suffered a cracked sternum and concussion by impact with the steering wheel. from the police traffic crash report: a 2012 kia failed to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of courtside drive and town center loop e in wilsonville, or. the vehicle proceeded through the stop sign at courtside drive and onto town center loop where it came into the path of a north bound 2005 dodge ram. the two vehicles collided with each other in the middle of the northbound lane of town center loop east. the dodge ram continued north bound through the intersection, then off the right side of the road impacting a fence and brick column owned and maintained by the city of wilsonville. the dodge ram had enough momentum to continue through the fence and 6 foot brick column and impact a 30 foot travel trailer which was parked/stored on private property. both the kia and the dodge ram had extensive damage, as did the travel trailer which was pushed sideways 2 to 4 feet. all 4 stabilizer jacks and the tongue jack were compromised and the trailer frame was visibly damaged/bent. the insurance company determined that the extensive damage to the 2005 dodge ram required it to be totaled, rather than repaired. *tr

Steering failed, truck was having a thumping on right front area, but it was not the tire, it cause me to lose control while steering, the truck was totaled, it rolled over three times, the front driver airbag did not deploy, was saved by my seatbelt, the truck rolled to the right hitting on the passenger side, it had only 44,000 miles, i noticed this problem and took it to be inspected but nothing showed up as it was blamed by the person who drove it as my tires being rough, i already owned them for over a year with about 5000 miles on them and it was not the tire, it was faulty linkage for steering, caused loss of control and this truck was highly maintained, and before i could get a second opinion it was wrecked, as other drivers and other dodge trucks have faulty steering linkage problems, this will cause more accidents for other owners, after the wreck i could see that the linkage was damaged but since it rolled three times the insurance company can not say what exactly cause the sudden loss of steering, the linkage components are not right dodge needs to recall these trucks. *tr
