2018 service/lack of knowledge problem

[trorabaugh]

My 2018 truck has caused me more frustrations than ant vehicle I have ever owned.
The last 3 months it has been in the shop most of the time . It keeps giving me the message "Service electronic throttle system" and loses power.
I have had it supposedly fixed 3 or 4 times (each time has taken 2-3 weeks) and within 24 hrs. in reoccurs. The dealer can't do anything without the consent of the engineers who obviously can't figure it out. This ifs the latest of problems that have surfaced. Can't seem to get any solution.

Check all of your harness connections.

Do you have a way to read the actual code(s) thrown. Service Electronic Throttle is a fairly generic error that could be a number of things and by reading the code you can drill down a little better.

I don't know the code it is still under warranty thru December but Ram engineers have been working with the dealer but everything they have tried (like 4 different things) has not been successful.

It seems the techs at your dealership don't know what they are doing. I would definitely consider taking it to another dealership. My 18 (knock on wood) has been pretty much flawless other than recalls so I hope you get it figured out.

Ive seen mention of the throttle errors in other threads here as well as on other forums, sometimes accompanied by engine fires so not to make you panic, but it could be serious so hopefully they get it sorted out for you.

I know this seems like a rudimentary solution, but do you have aftermarket floor mats?
