Unhappy 2017 Ecodiesel Dodge 4wd truck

Is anyone experiencing engine light coming on issue's? This has been the only issue I have experienced, I take it in under warranty. In the early going nox sensors & oxy sensors were replaced. Lately it has been software down loads.
But it seems every 3-4 months here we go again. Please let me know if any one seeing the same kind of issue. Around town I routinely get 22-23 mpg. On the road as high as 30 mpg. I need to decide what to do as this has happened about 5 times since I purchased the truck October of 2017. My sense is the Engineers don't know what to do. Thanks for any input, Mike.

every company is having diesel aftertreatment problems. Nissan put a stop on selling new diesels as they were having so many problems.

If I had a choice of the eco-diesel and the cummins 6.7. the cummins is a much better engine that the fiat eco-diesel. eco is horrible to work on...every part is built on top of the next

Thanks for reaching out to me. The engine light is still on, my dealer has been super & just waiting for a different diesel tech to free up & check out the issue with your tech support. May be tomorrow. My concern is to Dodge/ Chrysler engineers, do they really know how to fix this issue ? My sense is they think they got it & then it comes back, I get that, but here we are. Am I the only one with a 2017 ecodiesel seeing this issue ? You think you could call me further to discuss ?
