I totaled my dodge 3500 I was doing 37 MPH on a main road and drove into a bunch of trees. My airbags did not deploy. My truck is smashed, suspension came out of truck, tire rod snapped in half, radiator burnt, my rim snapped in half, tire popped, hood severely damaged, transmission fell out, bumper and fender severely crunched. I hurt my head badly, airbags didn't deploy. Not impressed and I am now going after dodge as I have many witnesses and pictures of myself, truck and the accident.
