In hindsight, would've gone with the gasoline version for certain. Didn't know as much about diesel and associated complexities at time of purchase.what do you mean by issues? no matter what the egr in a "modern" diesel will soot up.
i have a theory, while you get better mpg's with diesel the fuel cost more and then you need DEF if you spend the same amount of money on gasoline you will go the same distance. so it's 6 of 1 a half dozen of the other.
