I have a 2017 Ram eco diesel with 78,000 miles, always regular maintenance and recalls handled at Dodge dealer. On a recent trip, it showed message that said “service electronic throttle control” and I lost significant power, acted like it had a governor on it. We found a dealer on the route and they were able to get it in for diagnostic. They said “your turbo is dirty and needs replaced. $5000 and not covered under warranty”! Obviously I was quite upset to have this news at only 78k miles. We were able to drive home (200 miles) at highway speeds but continued to show message and loss of power. Taking in for 2nd opinion at local dealer this week. Anyone else have this issue or know anything about it? Is turbo replacement really the only option? Thanks.
