Consumer Description
I WAS DRIVING MY SONS 2012 RAM 1500 4X4 CREW CAB WITH LESS THAN 20K ON THE ODOMETER BACK FROM TEXAS TO NORTH CAROLINA. I FELL ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL AND WE RAN INTO A PORTABLE TOW BEHIND HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION SIGN, BOUNCED OFF A GUARD RAIL AND THEN ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES DOWN THE FREEWAY EMBANKMENT ON I-20 IN TUSCALOOSA ALABAMA. NOT ONE OF THE 6 AIRBAGS IN THE VEHICLE DEPLOYED. LUCKILY MY SON AND HIS TWO DAUGHTERS ESCAPED PRACTICALLY INJURY FREE, WITH ONLY MINOR ABRASIONS, HOWEVER I TOOK A BEATING TO THE HEAD AND AM STILL OUT OF WORK 1 MONTH LATER DUE TO HEAD/CONCUSSION INJURY. NONE OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS, SIDE IMPACT OR FRONTAL IMPACT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE TRUCK, WHICH WAS TOTALED, TO VALIDATE THIS. I ALSO HAVE A COPY OF THE POLICE REPORT STATING NONE OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WHAT SHOULD I DO? AND WHO ELSE SHOULD I CONTACT? *TR
