I was in a car accident going over 25 plus miles an hour and non of my airbags deployed in my truck. I had to get my neck reconstructed because it broke. I believe if airbags would deployed it could of helped with less injuries.

I have water entering the cab by the upper brake light at the back of the cab. The water is making water stains on the head liner and the water is saturating the air curtains above the rear window. It is also making the floor wet and the electrical wires and components on the floor. I also hear air leaks around the door seals when I am driving entering curves and turns. It seems like the cab, or doors shift breaking the door seals alowing air to enter. I bought it used with 46775 miles on it it currently has 54465 miles on it. Something is definetly wrong. I hope you can help me resolve this problem.

Unsure to what's causing the issue, dealership will look at it but feel it is a customer issue not a truck issue however among further investigation this seems to be a common issue amongst these model trucks, I have spoken with other people who have experience the same issues as well as researched it online where many people have also experienced the issue. The seatbelt light alongside the airbag light will come on intermently saying that the passenger side seat belt is unbuckled and it is in fact not. I have spoken with individuals who have gone to the dealership for this issue and they have found it to be a wiring issue.

The safety warning light came on when starting the vehicle. We checked the owners manual and called the dealership to schedule an appointment. Advised of the recall by NHTSA they said no recall under our VIN. Took it to the dealer on 8/4/23 they did not schedule the appointment for the recall, showed them online the NHTSA recall but said Chrysler hadn-??t notified them of any recall under our VIN. However, when the service advisor looked up the error code it shows the same code as the recall by NHTSA, codes V61 and V71. Our vehicle is a 2019 Classic Ram Dodge Pickup VIN 1C6RR6LT7KS573529. We have also call FCA/Chrysler Fiat and advised them of the problem, Cesar referred us to NHTSA saying you send them VIN-??s of vehicles that have incurred this error. Campaign 19V407

Dodge pickup was traveling south down the highway at 65 mph and was met by an approaching semi pulling a fully loaded belly dump trailer also traveling at 65 mph. When both vehicles were about to meet, the trailer unloaded all 46,000 pounds of large rock onto the highway. The rocks proceeded to bounce into the front end of the Dodge at estimated speeds of 120-150 mph and lasted approximately 1 mile of highway (mile marker to mile marker). The driver of the Dodge engaged his brakes and was able to come to a complete stop on the roadway, but was struck in the side of the head by one of the rocks and died a short time later at a nearby hospital. The pickup sustained approximately $46,000 in damages during the incident, including major front end damage, a cracked radiator making the vehicle undrivable, and both a broken dash and bent steering wheel from the one rock that made it through the windshield. The Dodge was considered a complete loss by the insurance company. Both the driver and passenger of the Dodge were wearing their seatbelts and not a single airbag was deployed during the incident, including the steering wheel airbag. The steering wheel, which was hit by a rock traveling at an estimated speed of 120-150 mph, bent from the force of the impact, yet the airbag did not deploy. Had it deployed, the driver of the Dodge wouldn't have sustained such a catastrophic injury and would more than likely still be alive.

My rear window or antenna shark fin is allowing water to leak into the truck cabin above the rear window. The ceiling is wet above the rear window. The ceiling is wet around the airbag cover. What guarantee is there the water has not damaged the airbags or other electrical components. I am now worried the airbags could be damaged and not work properly putting my family at risk of injury if we are in an accident.

The airbag(s) and Seat belt tensioner failed, and yes, the vehicle is available for inspection upon request. I was in a full frontal collision at 45 mph, the airbags did not deploy, and the seatbelt did not tighten or lock. I was thrown all over the truck and suffered several severe injuries, some of which may be permanent. RAM was notified and had stated everything was fine with the truck. But after detailed inspection by the collision center, they disagree and feel there was a malfunction. The insurance company after visual inspection also feels there was a malfunction. There is substantial frame damage, and the front of the truck was crushed. There were no warning lights or symptoms of failure previous to the incident.

My vehicle had issues in which all safety features have been turned off in the truck in June of 2022. Two dealerships have determined that it is a module but Ram has not been able to get the part now going on 5 months. Airbags, Lights, Safety features are all not working. I have tried to escalate but no response. I keep being told month after month that this will be corrected but still nothing. This is a major concern as this is a vehicle that has to be used and yet it is completely unsafe.

While driving the airbag disabled light, driver seatbelt sensor and auto park disabled light came on. This has been a recurring issue since my purchase in February 2022. I believe this is a safety issue because the airbag may fail to deploy in the event of a collision. The vehicle will be inspected by the dealership it was purchased at on 6/21/22.
