I've had an ICE car where the electronics broke down way before anything in the drive train. What's particularly annoying is that most auto shops, especially the dealership have no idea how to fix the part in question. They just replace the entire thing and everything that is attached to it for 2000€ and charge labor on top when replacing just the specific component should cost 1000€ or less including labor. What's especially egregious is that the auto shop needs licensed diagnostics tools from the car manufacturer for something as simple as a part swap. I had to go to 4 different places before I found one that wasn't trying to screw me over.
