During a rollover accident while traveling on a rural highway the airbags did not deploy even though the seatbelt tensioners which I've been told are part of the airbag system were deployed. The service airbag light is on and flashing in the truck after the accident. This vehicle is part of an upcoming recall Ram trucks has known is a serious safety hazard and done nothing to repair.
