I purchased a 2012 dodge ram 1500 truck with slightly less than 36000 miles. The airbag light was going on and off intermittently thus indicating the airbags would not be deployed upon impact. I took the truck in to an authorized dodge dealership 7 times in an attempt to correct the problem. It seems at this point it is finally fixed (it sometimes takes 2-3 weeks before the problem recurs). The first time i took it…

Very concerned about the two front airbags while watching the crash test ratings. The driver completely collapsed the bag, hitting his head on the steering wheel and the passenger bag was above average but seemed too aggressive causing the passenger to whip lash back towards the seat. A great passenger occupancy during the test and overall excellent truck. Thanks for your time. *tr
