The Ram ecodiesel 3.0L truck had a check engine light that came on while driving, showing a P20ee error, requiring the replacement of the diesel exhaust selective catalytic reduction (scr) at under 27,000mi the dealership I dealt with was great in getting it fixed, but I am concerned the new exhaust scr that was installed won't last the life of the vehicle if the first one only lasted a little over 26,000mi unless they made a change and/or updated the part that was installed on my truck. I'm hoping the replaced part was updated by Ram and the cause of this error corrected, but I have not been given this information at this time.

There is water coming inside the vehicle, with assumption that it comes from the rear doors. First time it was noticed there was only a minor impact: Wet floor carpet in back. After that first event, we ensured the windows were always fully closed in order to see if there would be any other leak event. However following the heavy rain we have had in may in houston, while the car was parked in driveway without moving for 4 weeks, condensation was noticed on the windshield. Once opened the car was moldy inside on rear seats and kids car seats, floor carpet, etc... the back seats are wet (water pouring from them) and the floor carpet is wet including under back seats (electric cabling area). Also several areas start showing impressive rust including below driver seat and steering wheel (pedal area). The car is brand new, bought 3 months ago.

About 6 weeks after first oil change the filter started leaking. Filter was champ type and performed at a very respectable automotive shop. No oil leaks anyway else. New champ filter was put on and about a week later it started leaking. Now we have installed a Wix filter and after one day no leaks. Has anyone else ever had a problem like this.

This incident was with a rental 2014 Dodge Ram pickup truck rented from enterprise rental car in san angelo, tx. Rental agreement # [xxx]. model B15Q (enterprise model #)Texas tag number [xxx]. I was driving late evening on Wednesday night on a solid paved road surface called socha loop North of san angelo, tx. In the described vehicle. I was familiar with the road working since Monday Nov. 24,2014 at same work site. I had just entered the vehicle and had only traveled less than one mile returning to my hotel. I had reached for my seat belt about 100 yards before approaching curve. As I was slowing to about 25 mph on a 35 mph un-posted reaching for the seatbelt over my left shoulder while moving. Myself wanting it the seat belt fastened I twisted to my left. Doing this body twist reaching for seat belt my right knee bumped the newly designed key and caused the key to move. The vehicle engine shut off. The lights although necessary while night, switched off. Entering the curve was difficult as steering was possible but required more torque to steer. I always learned that 99.9% of roads maintain their radius throughout. This was helpful as I had the interior light on just reaching for seat belt prior to the approaching curve so when the lights failed and the cab illuminated I lost all vision to the outside. There were no other cars on the rural road and I was able to coast thru the curve to a safe stop on the level apron of socha loop. I hope you will add my incident to help others.
