I own a 2016 Eco-diesel and loved it until three weeks ago when i got a "service throttle control" warning and truck went into limp mode.

The dealer told me they tested the fuel and it was contaminated. (BS)
They also told me i should change the filter at 20,000 and use a fuel additive.( i believe the owners manual additives are not necessary )
I informed them i had changed my filter at 10,000 miles and was using an additive that another dodge dealer recommended.

So i changed the filter BEFORE recommended and used fuel treatment and my truck has still been sitting for 3 weeks waiting for parts.

If you ask me i will probably never buy another dodge product.

Hi Mike,

I'm sorry to hear about this. If you'd like to provide your VIN and servicing dealership in a private message, I can check on the parts delay for you.

I will hand it to you guys for being in here. First time I've personally seen a company on a forum where their products are discussed. It's the way of the future! I've noticed this type of thing on twitter, Facebook etc.... but not a forum board.

Pretty cool to see. This is probably what companies have been doing for years to see what people like and don't like about their vehicles.

Has there been any updates/changes to the recently released 2017 eco-diesels?
