    A defective ECM is very very rare. It does happen, but not very often, good it is still under warranty.

    Consider yourself fortunate that your dealer was able to make this determination and he didn't blow you off like so many of them do.

    The odds are small that it happens at all. The odds are nearly zero that it would happen again.
