Description of the problem	I have tipm problems where i had to disconnect the plug connections and replug. Then i was told by a 20 year dodge ram certified mechanic to actually beat on the outside of the box the tipm was in. I was stranded for 3 days not being able to start my truck. The beating part worked to get me on the road again. He said it needs replacing. I found several small companies that have started business exclusively to repair dodge ram tipm units. They all have different levels of repair options and costs. If that alone doesn't disclose a need for a recall i'm not sure if anything else could. I'm disabled and alone and isolated in the desert for covid when this problem started last week on the last tuesday in feb 2021 and called the indio ca dodge service on saturday to schedule repair to the tipm when the mechanic advised me of the beating technique which has worked since that sat. My truck has experienced issues since i purchased it showing multiple different codes yet none really affecting the general performance. Other then lights on and not passing smog the truck was running decent with bad gas mileage. Now it's remained with varied check lights and codes have since changed since the beating. It appears that dodge has this tipm problem with many of it's lines within the entire network of related vehicals. In my case i was out of food, ice, gas for heat in freezing temps and 70+ mph winds with no vehical to use. I'm 70 this year and it was not a fun few days. I bought the truck the end of summer 2020. I've purchased several parts and products at auto suppliers and also several used parts at pull your own part places. I think dodge knows this is a huge issue that they should be recalling but since they aren't forced to and people pay for parts and repairs their actually profiting from their own faulty parts and laughing all the way to the bank while people suffer

What is Failure?
