TIPM ISSUE: LOW BEAM ON DRIVER'S SIDE WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT IN A RURAL AREA; AFTER BUYING 3 NEW BULBS @ $16/EACH WITH NO LUCK, HAVING SYSTEM SCANNED BY AUTO PARTS STORE WITH NO LUCK, TOOK TO A DEALER WHO SAID IT WAS A KNOW TIPM ISSUE AND WOULD COST UPWARDS OF $1,200 TO FIX, HOWEVER PART IS ON BACKORDER DUE TO THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS NEEDING THEM; FLASHING THE SYSTEM APPARENTLY WAS NOT AN OPTION; COMMENTED IT WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM AS IT WAS NOT A SAFETY CONCERN. HOW ARE LOSING YOUR LIGHTS UNEXPECTEDLY NOT A SAFETY CONCERN, NOT TO MENTION THE REST OF THE ISSUES THIS TIPM IS KNOWN TO CAUSE AFTER THIS ONE...IT IS THE BRAIN OF THE ENTIRE TRUCK. I AM NOW DRIVING WITH HIGH BEAMS ON PRAYING THE REST OF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS NOT IN JEOPARDY WHILE TRYING TO RESOLVE.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 7/31/15, CALLED CRENWELGE DODGE (KERRVILLE TX) MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPAIR KIT, DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO GET IT. SOMEONE AT NHTSA NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED AND INSURE THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE IS MAKING AND DISTRIBUTING THESE KITS.
