2011 4.6 Coupe - Fried ECU - HYUNDAI WILL NOT HELP!!!!!!!

[bhuber@huberrealestatellc]

I have an 2011 4.6 sedan in excellent condition. The ECU crapped out in September and after five months of getting the run around, Hyundai of America informed me today the arrival time of a new replacement "cannot be defined due to the global semiconductor shortage" The dealer cannot "wipe" a used ECU and Hyundai will not. Does anyone have any thoughts as to if or how I can make this car run again?

"Wipe" will correct the software on the ECU but will not do anything if the hardware is damaged or has component failures. Next step may be to find a used ECU from a wrecked vehicle or a third party rebuilt ECU.

... The dealer cannot "wipe" a used ECU ...

Sounds like he is talking about a used PCM, not the defective one that he has. I assume that the used PCM had to be reprogrammed ("wiped?") to work in his car?
