Truck shutdown while driving down highway @ 65 MPH without any other symptoms. Had to coast to side of busy road. Service electronic throttle control flashed as well as the check engine light. The truck never stuttered or lost any power prior to this. Dealership states that it is bad diesel fuel. Replaced hpfp but truck will still not start. Chrysler has instructed dealer to replace entire fuel system. This has not been done yet because chrysler will not warranty even though the truck is still under warranty.

Page 11 of 11: complaints 281 to 284 of 284, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I had a sudden loss of power and an abrupt deceleration while driving out of my development. The service electronic throttle control and check engine lights appeared on the dash. This happened on may 17, 2017 and some of the vehicles ecodiesel fuel injectors were replaced. 2000 miles later almost the same exact thing happened on july 14, 2017. Currently additional injectors are being replaced. I am thankful neither time was while driving at highway speeds on a busy road.
The truck down speeds to 40 MPH without notice or warning. The fuel filter appears to be clogging and the fuel injectors and lines are also clogged. Dodge refuses to fix the issue opting to replace parts and informing me that I must monitor the truck bring it in every 12,000 miles for repair.
