What smiley said ^^ Long story short , a friend of mine rejected a brand new very 'high end' expensive Italian motorcycle some years ago because its electronic system would switch from 'road' to 'race' without warning leaving him unaware that his almost 190 bhp bike had just switched off all of its safety modes during a rainstorm on a UK B road and sometimes just shutting the bike down dead with no warning.
During his (very) short ownership a technician came over from Italy and replaced the wiring loom and all sorts of stuff, he still rejected it.
Less than a month later it was back for sale through the dealer network. Fixed ? who knows ?
Anything that came from Italy in the seventies and eighties was expected to have electrical gremlins in it as part of the user experience
