I have a 2008 dodge ram 1500 with 37,000 miles on it. on february 15, 2010 i was involve in a accident where the other vehicle failed to yield and pulled out in front of me causing the accident. my complaint is that i figure the at the point of impact ( which was the front of my 2008 dodge ram ) i was traveling about forty five miles an hour and my air bags never deployed, although the air bags did deploy on the other vehicle. i did receive spinal injuries and will know more about that tomorrow 02/19/10 when i meet with the surgeon but in the meantime the insurance company is having my truck repaired and i can't get an answer from anyone of why the airbags did not deploy or if they even will in the event of another accident. this is a scary situation for me due to the fact that it will be my loved ones that will be riding in this potential unsafe vehicle. *tr
