Linea Control Unit Programming Issue

My 2021 Fiat Linea gasoline is acting up. At 50191 km, it's throwing errors, electrical stuff is going haywire, and the navigation is dead. I'm thinking it's a control unit programming problem. Anyone else seen this?

A 2021 Fiat Linea is experiencing electrical issues, including error messages and a non-functional navigation system, suspected to be due to a control unit programming problem. Diagnostics indicated a software issue, but recalibration was ineffective. The suggested solution is to have a professional reload the control unit software, which may also reveal any underlying hardware problems. The repair is estimated to cost around 240€.

Sounds rough! I've got a Linea too, though I don't remember the year. I had similar electrical issues and the infotainment system went nuts. Did you try any diagnostics or check for new software?

Yeah, I ran diagnostics, but the errors are vague, just saying it's a software thing. I haven't tried loading new software myself. Could a recalibration fix it, or is it more involved?

Recalibration didn't do it for me. I'd say take it to a shop and have a pro reload the control unit software, but that's just my opinion. They can also tell if there's a hardware problem messing with the software.

Thanks for the heads-up. The shop said the control unit programming was messed up, and it'll be around 240€ to fix. Sounds like I have to do it. Appreciate the help!
