Throttle puzzler.
I have a 2015 SD with only 4100 miles on it. This has happened to me twice. Both times, traveling slowly at idle or just above. Anyway, tried to give it a little gas, and -----nothing. Lightly pumped the throttle a couple of quick times and back on line. The motor didn't die, but there was no response to the throttle at all. The first time, I thought maybe it was something I did. Then it doesn't happen for a month and a half and then again, in heavy traffic in the rain. Haven't had my first service yet, and you can bet I'll tell them about it, but I was wondering if anybody else had noticed something similar. Almost felt like a two-stroke that had loaded up. ???????

You don't mention if you are diesel or gas, but either way - any drive-by-wire system which exhibits any signs of response issues needs to be examined immediately by the dealer who has the right diagnostic equipment...
