Airbag failure on 2003 Dodge Dakota SXT. Force was such that frame of truck is bent and will be replaced but neither airbag deployed. Driver side shoulder harness on seat belt also failed. A visit to Consumer Affairs.com quickly made me aware that daimler has this problem on many of its vehicles but sends the same "form" letter to each consumer reporting the problem.
