The contact owns a 2017 RAM 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle T-Boned crashed into the side of a delivery truck. During the crash, the front end of the vehicle sustained severe damage but no air bags were deployed and the front driver-side seat belt failed to secure the driver causing the driver to make contact with the steering wheel. The driver sustained a fractured sternum, head, neck, and back injuries and was transported by ambulance to the local hospital for medical treatment. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The manufacturer was not contacted.

MY SECOND FRONT IMPACT WITH MY TRUCK. FIRST ONE WAS 10K DAMAGE IMPACT WAS 50 MPH, THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. RAM SAYS CLOCK SPRING NEEDS REPLACED, I PAY THEM TO REPLACE IT. 2 WEEKS LATER ANOTHER FRONTAL IMPACT AT 45MPH, AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY NOR THE SEAT BELTS LOCK UP. MY 12 YO DAUGHTER HITS THE DASH AND NOW HAS A CONCUSSION. I END UP WITH A DISC ISSUE AND PINCHED NERVES IN MY NECK. FUNNY HOW I PAY IT GET A SYSTEM FIXED AND NOW NOTHING WORKS. CALLED DEALER TALKED TO MELODY, SHE SAID SERVICE MANAGER WOULD CALL BACK, NEVER HAS. I'M CONSIDERING FILING A LAW SUIT AGAINST RAM AND PARTS SUPPLIER.

U53 OCCUPANT RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE & U74 2015 - 2017 TAILGATE LATCH. FOR THE U74, I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW TO GET FIXED, AND THE LOCAL DEALERS DO NOT ASSIST STATING PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. THE LARGER CONCERN IS THE NEW U53 SEAT BELT SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED THROUGH MULTIPLE LOCAL DEALERS IN SAN ANTONIO TX, AND CHRYSLER CORP TO GET ASSISTANCE, AND I AM BEING MET WITH NO HELP. I AM HIGHLY CONCERNED AT THE SAFETY ISSUES AND THE MFR IS NOT HELPING. ONE DEALER EVEN STATED MY VIN DIDN'T HAVE THE RECALL WHEN I HAVE A VEHICLE REPORT EMAIL, SENT MONTHLY FROM MFR, THAT REFLECTS THE RECALL.
