    2014 dodge ram 1500 big horn crew cab was involved in a front end collision, and none of the airbags went off. The truck was in motion on a city street (25-30 mph), it broad sided another vehicle, no airbags deployed in the ram when they should have. I feel this is a safety concern.

    The airbag warning light keeps coming on and off (along with the accompanying "ding"). I think there is a short in the wiring under the driver's seat. Whenever i go over big bumps it seems to cause the issue more often.
