What owners wrote
I was in a single car accident on november 14, 2005 in a 2005 dodge ram pickup truck . I hit a deer and then hit a tree going 45-50 MPH. My air bag did not deploy and the fuel switch did not turn off. I do not understand why the airbag did not deploy as it should have.
Turn signal when switched activates the opposite turning light. Rear tail tight housings are not water tight and blows bulbs after raining. Windshield wipers act on their own when its raining and now dome and console lights dont work. No blown fuses. The third fuel pump line is also defective. Will eventually break from vibration. New ones have better vibration housing and dealership had stock. (125 of these and none other because everyone was having the same one break).
