Defective ECUs or other controller problems on your car?
Not that I have nothing else to do, but I have always been wondering about the following:
Did you ever have problems with one of the controllers (ECUs...) in your car, and if yes, which one?
Who (dealer/independent garage) diagnosed the problem and how?
Which make and model was it?
Did you have it replaced with a new one or repaired, and for how many $$$?
Let's hear your stories,

Are those "black boxes" reliable enough as not to show up in any statistic?

I've seen lots misdiagnosed as defective, but as I recall, only one acquaintence who had a genuine problem.
ECUs are a lot like your refrigerator...a sealed unit that more or less just sits there and does it's job. No moving parts, usually well protected, and hard for a bad mechanic to get at and screw up.
