BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT IMPACT! VEHICLE IS A TOTAL LOSS DUE TO THE OUTCOME OF THE COLLISION. VEHICLE STRUCK A BARN AND EXITED OUT OF IT UNTIL STRUCK A MASSIVE TREE WHICH FINALLY STOPPED THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE TAYLOR JEEP DEALERSHIP FOR AIR BAG RECALL AND WAS TOLD THEY CHECKED IT OUT AND FOUND THAT I NEEDED A SPECIAL SENSOR FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AND I WILL BE CONTACTED. I'M ASSUMING WHAT EVER THE TECHNICIANS DID MIGHT NOT HAVE CONNECTED THE AIRBAGS CORRECTLY RESULTING IN THEM NOT DEPLOYING.

THE LEFT TIE ROD BROKE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD CAUSING A HOLE IN MY RIM, DENTS IN THE FENDER AND BUMPER AND DAMAGE TO THE LEFT BRAKING SYSTEM. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AFTER LEARNING ABOUT THIS RECALL, THE DEALER FIXED THE BROKEN TIE ROD BUT DODGE WILL NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE LEFT ON MY TRUCK. IT NEEDS A NEW RIM AND DODGE STATED THAT THEY WILL NOW BE PAYING FOR MY RIM TO GET FIXED, WHICH WAS FINE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT.

APPROACHED GATE ACROSS DRIVEWAY; STOPPED 2004 DODGE CUMMINS 2500 TRUCK, PUT IN PARK, OPENED GATE, PROCEEDED THROUGH 12' GATE. PULLED TRUCK FORWARD TO PROVIDED ENOUGH ROOM FOR GATE TO CLOSE; PUT VEHICLE IN PARK ON LEVEL GROUND. EXITED MY TRUCK, IT WAS STATIONARY, WITH NORMAL IDLE. WALKED PAST THE REAR OF THE TRUCK TO CLOSE THE GATE. HAD JUST LATCHED THE GATE WHEN I HEARD A CLICK THAT MADE ME RAISE MY HEAD AS I WONDERED WHAT THE NOISE WAS. THEN THE ENGINE ROARED IN ACCELERATION AND THE TRUCK FLEW BACKWARDS TOWARD ME. I MOVED OUT OF THE WAY, THE TRUCK HIT THE CLOSED GATE, CRASHED THROUGH IT, PROCEEDED IN REVERSE DOWN THE DRIVE WAY APPROXIMATELY 10 YARDS, VEERED OFF THE DRIVEWAY THROUGH 4 CEMENTED FENCE POSTS AND HORSE FENCING BOARDS THAT ARE 2X6 (VERY SUBSTANTIAL BOARDS). TOOK OUT 2 SECTIONS OF FENCING BEFORE IT MET AN INCLINE IN THE PASTURE WHICH CAUSED THE RUNAWAY TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP. IF I HAD NOT HEARD THE TRUCK MAKE THE CLICKING NOISE WHICH WAS IT COMING OUT OF THE PARK GEAR, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TIME TO GET OUT OF ITS WAY. AFTER READING MULTIPLE OTHER SIMILAR INCIDENCES, I IMPLORE DODGE TO STAND BEHIND ITS TRUCKS AND RECTIFY THE SITUATION FOR CONSUMERS IN THE FUTURE AND THOSE OF US WITH FINANCIAL DAMAGES INCURRED NOW!!! *TR
