If the DPF filter in your Kia Sorento gets clogged, you might smell diesel fuel inside the car, experience the engine going into limp mode, and see a lot of exhaust smoke. If a diesel particulate filter is not taken care of properly, it might stop functioning before it should, typically lasting at least 100,000 miles. The limp-home mode kicks in when the DPF blockages are becoming a threat to the car's major mechanical parts, preventing further damage from happening.
