Default thundermax problems

Anyone have a problem with a thundermax unit taking itself out of closed loop. I am having tons of problems with mine. It came out of closed loop and went into open loop on its own. I brought it to the installer and we called thundermax, they had him try all kinds of stuff and then said unplug it and plug it back in. We did that and it worked great, redownloaded the map and reset everything. I drove it for about 15 miles and it was perfect. Came back, plugged in and everything was great. Left to go home, stopped and got something to eat, came out and the bike ran like absolute crap again. I don't get it. The battery cables are tight, I checked them myself. Any ideas. My mechanic thinks the module is bad. We are going to replace it next week, but I just wanted to know if anyone else had a similar problem and might be able to share some info with me. Thanks.
