If you've got the SES light on, that means there is a code. Try another dealer - or even a local auto store like Advance or Auto Zone will read it for free. Sounds like a turbo problem - typically symptoms like yours are due to a problem with the vacuum system (usually cracked/broken vacuum lines) or the wastegate solenoid. If that's what it is, it is a pretty easy fix. Another thing to check would be your exhaust crossover pipe for leaks/holes.
