I HAVE A 2006 RAM 2500 I HOOKED UP SOME TRAILER LIGHTS AND NOW I HAVE NO LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS. THERE IS NO CODES SHOWING ON REPAIR SHOPS READER (I HAVE NO DEALER AVAILABLE WHERE I LIVE). THE INTERNET HAS TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TIPM AND HOW IT SHUTS DOWN IF IT DRAWS TOO MANY AMPS. WELL YOU WOULD THINK A FUSE WOULD BE USED FOR THAT AND NOT HAVE TO REPLACE A $1000 COMPUTER BOARD. RIGHT NOW I CAN ONLY DRIVE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS OR ONLY WITH THE HIGH BEAMS. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OVER A $1000 TO FIX A FAULTY DESIGN. DODGE SHOULD HAVE TO CREATE A FIX OR REPAIR OUR VEHICLES.

DRIVING ON A RURAL 2 LANE ROAD IN A RAINSTORM WIPERS WERE ON LOW SPEED, STOPPED WORKING. SWITCHED WIPERS TO HIGH SPEED, WIPERS OPERATED EXTREMELY SLOWLY, THEN OPERATED AT HIGH SPEED FOR A SHORT PERIOD, THEN EXTREMELY SLOW AGAIN. ALTERNATED THIS A FEW TIMES, THEN COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING. IT TOOK ABOUT 4 HOURS TO FINISH MY DRIVE OF ABOUT 60 MILES TO MY HOME DUE TO STOPPING ALONGSIDE THE ROAD TO WAIT FOR BREAKS IN THE RAINSTORM. I REPLACED BOTH WIPER MOTOR AND WIPER SWITCH TO NO AVAIL. THEN STARTED SEARCHING ONLINE FOR A SOLUTION AND DISCOVERED THE TIPN CONTROVERSY HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED DEALER..

TAKATA RECALL: WAS NOTIFIED OF PARTS AVAILABILITY IN AUG 1015. WENT TO DEALER ON SEPT 8 , 2015 AND WAS PUT ON A WAITING LIST. WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ABOUT 6 MONTHS. CALLED TODAY (MAR 4, 2016) AND WAS TOLD I WAS #107 ON THE WAITING LIST AND IT MAY BE AS LING AS A YEAR UNTIL THEY CAN GET TO ME. ARE THEY PLAYING THE ATTRITION GAME AND HOPING SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN SO THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO DO THIS RECALL? I ALSO ASKED THEM TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG IN THE INTEREST OF MY PERSONAL SAFETY WHICH THEY REFUSED TO DO. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO SPEED THIS PROCESS?
