| Event: 2007 dodge ram 1500 lonestar edition ~ my truck was in park on shoulder of road so i could gather items that fell to floor - i was hit from behind at a very high rate of speed - hard impact - by another car. the impact of the collision threw my truck @ 40 feet forward. my multistage airbags in my dodge ram did not deploy which resulted in neck / cervical strain & left clavicle / shoulder injury. my truck was purchased new - 2007 dodge ram 1500 lonestar edition. manual reflects multistage airbags which are to deploy on collision at speed of 12mph or greater. i also called waco dodge dealership where truck was purchased at and salesman confirmed that the multistage airbags should have deployed upon impact at any angle hit. airbags did not deploy. truck is a one owner; i purchased brand new feb 2007. vehicle safety was one of our major concerns when deciding to purchase a new truck due to we have 3 children. airbags were discussed as part of the safety feature prior to purchase. we were assured the airbags would deploy in an accident ~ and they did not. fortunately, i did not have my children with me at time of accident. (ages 5, 9, & 12). we are very upset as the extent of injuries could have been less if airbags would have deployed per manual. damages / repairs to my truck = $9,385.00. the person 's vehicle who hit me at rate of speed was completely totaled; not repairable. *tr | |||

| I bought a 2007 dodge truck from the dealership when it was new. while driving a few days ago, we swerved to avoid hitting a deer, as a result we hit a power pole. the truck perfectly centered the pole, but to our dismay the airbags did not deploy. we were told that there are sensors located at certain points on the truck and if the sensors aren't hit that the airbags wouldn't deploy. we were going about 45-50 mph when the truck hit the pole. i have pictures of the sensors where the truck is dented, but the sensors obviously didn't work. what should be our next step? the truck was purchased new at the dodge dealership in commerce, ga. *tr | |||

| While driving at about 65mph, my passenger side front wheel came off the vehicle. i was involved in a solo spinout, accident due to the wheel coming off. the cause was determined to be the lower a-arm of the suspension failing, and letting the ball joint fall out of place. when the wheel was recovered from the accident, it still had the stabilizers attached, along with the ball joint, and various parts of the steering, and 4wd. the accident caused me to hit a guard rail at 65mph, at a 45-degree angle. amazingly, my airbags did not deploy on impact. i suffered whiplash due to the impact. the point of impact on the truck was the front passenger side. *tr | |||
