Service Electronic Throttle Control??

NO. Not normal. Maybe a first.

Get it to a dealer NOW! That's what a warranty is for.

Odd, x2 hit the dealer for a checkup. Sure its only happened under decel and for a few seconds, but remember its always the same until its different. You don't want a loss of throttle at speed, on the highway imagine, not even enough juice to accelerate to the shoulder...

Welcome to the show, keep us posted on what the shop says...

I have had the same thing happen 4 times on the way to Chicago. Each time it happened I had to get on the brake because of traffic conditions. Like in your case, this lasts for a few seconds and then things go back to normal. So far, I have no real answer for this. I called the dealer but they have no idea why this is happening either.

Definitely stop by your dealer to see what they have to say/do about this .
Keep us posted!

My truck went into a limp mode on Wedesday morning. The engine was revving only up to 3k in second gear and truck did not go over 40 mph. It displayed throttle control malfunction message. Thankfully my dealer is only 15 min away so I brought it in. The service guy said today that the main computer needed to be replaced and everything is back to normal. I am sick and tired of all the problems with this truck and I completely lost any confidence in it. I will give it another try since I don't have much choice. I don't think Lemon Law applies when each issue is different.

Took truck in this morning for service. Was told that Chrysler was aware of the problem and all the truck needed was a software update. This took about 1/2 hour and I was on my way. All appears OK right now.

I still occasionally get the dash light coming on stating "Service Electronic Throttle Control". Dealer has looked into this several times and they always say that they fixed the issue but it still does this occasionally. I am starting to wonder if it does this when I depress the brake while I have a slight pressure on the gas pedal. Unlike most people, I drive with 2 feet. I use my right foot on the accelerator and my left foot on the brake. I figure God gave me 2 feet, I might as well use them both. Anyway, I am wondering if me resting my foot on the accelerator while braking may cause this issue. Any other 2 footed drivers out there??

I only drive with two feet when there's a clutch involved. ;-)

My father does the two foot thing, claims that how he was taught. Raised pulling trailers and equipment on grades and claimed it gave him more control so he didn't roll back on the hill? now we have hill assist, ahhh technology lol

I experience a delay in throttle response and I have been thinking of installing this pedal commander for my ram. Here Pedal Commander 2021 Review | Full Guide And FAQ | MOTORING CRUNCH. Has anyone here have any experience with it and has it improve throttle acceleration?
