My Sportage gpf light came back on for a third time, literally weeks after a complete forced regen. After speaking to Kia and explaining that I had neither time nor inclination for regular pointless motorway journeys in which I have to drive the car in a particular (and frankly dangerous) way I was told to contact motability and ask to change car. Thankfully motability were amazing so I am back to looking at endless car reviews to find something suitable.
The Sportage has been something of a nightmare due to this gpf exhaust issue.
