minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-22 hours agoLet’s see here. ECU - that has a bug and your dead in the water Push to start - bug in that system, and you’re stuck. Hill Hold - have a software glitch there and your brake is jammed on. Sorry bub, there are multiple system on your car where a software glitch will stop it from driving.

minus-squareBytemeister@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·edit-22 hours agoNot that common, I think most places try to flash the ECU and if that doesn’t work they chuck it. I would not be surprised if a lot of software bugs get resolved as a bad ECU.
