Tl*the contact owns a 2006 dodge ram 2500. The contact was driving approximately between 45 -50 MPH on normal road conditions and unexpectedly, an opposing vehicle pulled in front of the vehicle. The contact applied pressure to the brake pedal. The vehicle failed to slow down and crashed into three large trees and a utility pole. The air bag system failed to deploy with the massive level of impact. The vehicle was completely destroyed. The police and ambulance were called to the scene.
Upon restarting my 2006 dodge ram 2500 diesel, my ABS light and parking brake light came on after driving a few short moments ,I also noticed that speedometer indicator was not working but the vehicle RPM indicator was. Causing myself some concern I checked my brakes and noticed I had a hard brake pedal when applied but was still able to stop. I contacted my local dealership and took my vehicle in for service for this issue and recall notice concerning the drivers air bag inflator.
