Well for all of you guys who lived through your bad experiences I am happy that another life was not taken. My husband was not so lucky. He hit 2 trees, both of them were front impact and the airbag only deployed after the truck came to a stand still and about 6 sec. after the crash. He was not traveling at a high rate of speed. The truck desinagrated in front of my eyes. He died from blunt force trauma to the head and chest. It was a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 single cab with a flat bed. The engine was in the cab of the truck when it was all over. So I am happy that most of you made it through without losing your lives but my husband was not so lucky and now I have 2 boys that don’t have a father nor do I have a husband.

I was involved in an accident while driving my 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT. I was in the hospital for 21 days with 17 of those days were in ICU with 5 broken ribs, broken hip and head injuries. Neither of the airbags deployed.I recieved a letter from the Customer Claims Resolution Group at The Chrysler Company, stating that after investigating, it was determined that “The impact which did not sighificantly involved the frame did not create the longitudinal (front to back) deceleration necessary to deploy the airbags.” The frame was bent and my van was totaled.

My husband was involved this Friday in a head-on. His 2009 Dodge Ram Airbag did not deploy. He had seatbelt on and it didnot lock. The Truck appear to be Total, we’re not sure yet. He was diagnosed w/Concussion at ER and received awful deep cuts/bruising to his head, neck. He really needed the airbag for support but it failed him. We bought the truck brand new off Lot the latter part of 2009.

I was involved in a accident yesterday in a dodge ram 1500 and a pole, I was the passenger and the airbag was turned off on my side but it did deploy on the drivers side, the seat belts did lock. The truck is totaled, there is no front left. The seat belt probably saved me from having serious injury or even my life! They need to fix this problem!

On Dec. 11. 2010 I had a head on collision with a driver who crossed by red. Also it was front end damage to the Dodge Ram 1500 year 2006, the Airbags did NOT deployed. Than I was standing at a red light and got hit from the back on Dec.15. 2010 from a driver with the speed of 60+ miles and the impact hit the standing SUV infront of me with a force that my whole front end was damaged. The Airbags did NOT deployed. I suffer from severe Spine injuries, neck injuries and hip injuries. ligament injuries The Seatbelt did NOT locked in. My truck was totaled.
I will have extensive Rehab, P.T. and 2 surgeries coming up. Failure to my legs because of pinched nerves.
The company of Dodge/Chrysler has sent me letter that they have tested my truck and saw that there where no collision in the front end. Ha, All a lie, pictures speaks more than any excuses from them.
