Six problems related to air bag not deploy have been reported for the 2003 Dodge Ram 2500. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was involved in a collision going 50 mph on a highway and another vehicle failed to stop at a stop sign at a cross road and we struck them with the front of the vehicle on their passenger door. Air bags did not deploy causing 2 of the passengers in the vehicle to hit their head/face on the dash and windshield.
The dash board cracked when a new air bag inflater was in stalled and continues to crack. I am concerned that this might cause the air bag not to deploy properly. I complained to the dealer but they refused to fix the problem.
