2 Equipment problem

Failure Date: 05/17/2017

I'm not sure if the ecm reprogram that is out for my vehicle will remedy this by the dealer refused to fix it because I refused to pay for a recall! I was traveling low speed and decelerating to pull into my work and the car went into failsafe mode and almost caused me to crash and get hurt it was also on a city street when I was downshifting probably about 5-10 mph then I tried to turn and there was no power and a truck from behind was flying up on me and barely swerved out of the way to not hit me and it was a super humid hot day when it first happened! I have never had a major problem on my car! it has always been taken care of like it was royalty! the obd11 reads p0605 code and the description is a rom error it says, let me state even though my car is a 2002 it only has 28,750 miles on it and near perfect condition! I can erase the code and drive it then it will go into failsafe mode after driving for a few minutes! the dealership tried to tell me the ecu was fried and to bring it in and expect a minimum charge of a hour for them to just get my car in there building! that is not right! I have 2 recalls and that is all I want done! if the ecu was truly fried then the car would not be able to start at all! the car also sat for many years but was well properly stored and taken care of when it sat!.
