Has anyone with an osiris tune, ever had their ecu die?

Are you sure it didn't get wet? Is there any wiring running through the OEM grommet above the ECU?

I really think your dealership is misdiagnosing your situation. Dealer love to "replace ECU's" when they can't figure out the cause of the issue. I have never seen an ECU take a dump out of the blue, without any type of motivation.

Are you still planning on sending the ECU to Uprev to check it's status?

Yes, I am sending it back. I just got the car back home and I guess we'll see what happens or what the cause was. In regards to the ecu getting wet, I don't see how it could have gotten wet. It was not raining when it occurred. It's a weird situation. The dealership may have misdiagnosed the problem, but the car is running great with the new ecu, I just don't understand how and why it would fail.
