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.
I recently had an accident where the air bags did not deploy. Causing me to get over 30 stitches in my lower lip and chin. Im concerned as if this should happen in a more serious accident the damage would be much more so.
