On 22 Jan 2022, airbags failed to deploy during a head on collision. Collision occurred after losing control on black ice. While driving 55 mph along a straight and level section of a single lane highway, truck spun into on-coming traffic. The driver and passenger experienced whiplash, multiple bruises from the seat belt, and the driver broke both ankles and sternum, and needed stitches from a gash above the eye. Truck received airbag recall work at a local dealership in 2016. Insurance has declared the damages to the vehicle a total loss. Owner has signed a release of the vehicle to auto insurance. Not sure if claims adjuster or insurance company is investigating airbag failure. Looks like others have experienced this same problem.

Is there was an expiration date on the air bag recall for this vehicle? I have tried to get the recall repaired, but the dealer didn't have anymore parts in stock. That was last summer, and now they are backed up with appointments. I am not complaining about the dealer. I just want to make sure the time does not run out for the repairs to be done on this vehicle.

I used my 2008 Dodge 1500 as a trade in and because the recall parts were not available at that time they send that they could not sell that truck because it had arecall.

Takata recall my vehicle was shipped from North Carolina in humidity and hot sun for an extended period of time- approx two of those years was consistent humidity and high temperatures without being driven. I am now due to relocate to California and I am requesting my truck be repurchased by manufacturer due to the extended period of time awaiting these parts to be available. Carmax sold me this truck knowing these safety recalls were open and never told me! I never would have purchased this vehicle knowing it's putting my family lives at risk. There is also a third rear brake light water leak which I was told to replace rear window! only to still have puddles under my seat - now floor warped and smells like mold. Manufacturers is well aware of this defect as I see complaints about this with other Dodge Ram owners! all as frustrated as me due to Dodge first replacibg rear electric windiw which costs $600 -$1100 before finally telling customer it's a $3 gasket repair which Dodge will not sell you! they want to charge labor and make more money to do this fix! it needs to be recalled.
