I purchased my 2014 Dodge Journey 3 yrs ago, this October, with 90,000 miles on it. I had to have the electronic throttle control replaced and computer reprogram, which was covered under warranty in January of 2019. This failed again in June 2020 and the dealership graciously replaced it, stating a "PART" issue. There was approx 20,000 miles on it since initial repair. they replaced the part and reprogrammed computer (supposedly) again. Now, on July 26, 2021 it has happened AGAIN!! same indicator lights same sluggish vehicle. I took it to dealership and they stated same thing again was wrong - Electronic Throttle Control. There was only 11,000 miles from a year ago when they replaced it. They stated they can replace it and reprogram but I MUST FOOT THE BILL...is this not an issue they should take care of or a recall be done on? How can 3 of these go bad within 141,000 miles on a car? Any advice or direction I can go? They have reset the codes but now car barely runs until they can "fix" it and I pay??
