The force of impact was so extreme my car was totaled and I had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance. Not even one air bag deployed!!! they say this car has 10 air bags and not one of them deployed. I could have been killed but by the grace of god I wasn't. I want answers as to why not even one of my 10 air bags did not deploy. The entire rear of my car was pushed into the back seat, the front of the car the hood was pushed to the windshield, like I said the car is totaled. If you could see my car you would be asking, why did not one air bag deploy, this is definitely a defect that could of cost me my life!.

3 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 09/08/2019

Airbag � I was in an accident a few days ago. When I was hit head on, my airbags did not deploy. I also would like to put out there that my car was also totaled and when I was hit I was going 45, and the other driver was going 60. Which is quite a hefty impact for a small car being hit by a lifted 2016 Toyota tundra, and for the airbags not to deploy. I am going to be suing Dodge.

Luckily he only has a concussion. I am attaching a picture for you to look at.

The oklahoma turnpike authorities should have the video. Here is a picture that the auto body took showing that the airbags didn't not deploy.

Failure Date: 11/21/2013

I have had this vehicle about seven months and already have had to have the vehicle in twice for the service airbag system light on. The first time, they didn't really find anything wrong as the light was off by the time I got to the dealer. They advised me that they updated some computer system at that point. I had it in again in January for the same issue, and they couldn't figure out exactly what the problem was, but they went ahead and replaced the dash cluster thinking it would fix the issue. Not two weeks later, the light is back on. I have been advised that when the service airbag light is lit, the airbags will not deploy, therefore it is driving an unsafe vehicle.
