I had a car wreck in a 4 month old 2011 Ram 1500 4 wd quad cab on Oct 3 rd 2011, I was pushed into a metal guard rail and concrete wall at 70 mph, the fromt passenger wheel broke compltey off and both front side were impacted hard enough to bed the frame on both sides, no brakes before or after impact, I did habe my seat belt on, none of the front or side air bags deployed at any time. The car that hit me had sull air bag deplyment. I just had the truck into the dealer for an oil change at 17K miles and tire roation which told me "quote" this truck has several recalls that were not mailed out to the owners". they did not tell me what the recalls were they only said that they chaged the oil and roated the tires and checked the coumputer for "issues".
