Misfires - could it be caused by my dinan tune?

My car has been having misfires lately causing the vehicle to go into limp mode. The dealership suspects its the Dinan Software that was recently installed. But I recall the car doing the same thing at least once prior to the Stage 2 software install.

Has anyone been having any misfire issues? With or without a Dinan tune that make your vehicle go into limp mode?

This has happened to me at 3 times within the past few weeks. and once prior to my software install. Each time I was in a high gear cruising most recently I was in 4th gear at about 4000 rpm shifting to 5th when the car misfired and went into limp mode.

Im concerned about my safety as the engine vibrates and the throttle becomes inactive while I am on the highway city street. Ive been in such a position multiple times, one time my son was with me.
