| Description of the problem | I was involved in an automobile accident on 11/6/13. The 2007 dodge ram 3500 truck i was in was totaled due to the accident. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. My head hit the steering wheel and bent the steering wheel. My neck was broken in two places. I feel that if the air bags had deployed i would not have been hurt as seriously as i was hurt. I don't know if anyone else has had trouble with air bags not deploying but i do think someone needs to know about this problem and maybe no one else will be hurt as bad as i was hurt. |
