Warning Light On problem #1

Accelerating from stop light and at 35 mph a loud explosion was heard from the passenger dash area. I thought I saw some powdery dust afterward. Took the truck to the dealership and explained what happened. They did a drb computer test and road test. Nothing found. Also there were no dash warning lights. When it happened my first thought was the air bag charge went off, but why didn't the bag come out.

Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem #2

The contact owns a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired according to a manufacturer recall for the air bags. After the repair was performed, the air bag warning indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for repairs on three separate occasions. The contact was informed that the air bag sensor and wiring harness needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified. The NHTSA campaign number was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 14,000.

Air Bag problem #3

I was involved in an accident where I was t boned. Hit on the drivers side. The entire drivers side doors were damaged, front and rear and none of the airbags deployed.
