| Description of the problem | I hit a tree doing 45 mph no air bags deployed on either the drivers or passenger side of the truck. I had severe damage to my face and i am facing two more operations in the next year. Cause for air bags not deploying is unknown but chrysler corp has checked the computer and found no codes in the computer to cause the air bags not to come out. The truck was a total loss. They have not found out why they did not deploy. *jb |
