Black smoke and loss of power in 2013 Toyota Hilux diesel: suspected diesel particulate filter defect

Hey guys, I drive a 2013 Toyota Hilux Diesel with 75718km and seem to have a problem. When accelerating it smokes black from the exhaust, the check engine light is on, engine performance is worse, doesn't run smoothly and fuel consumption has increased. In addition, the DPF regeneration no longer seems to be working properly. My last visit to the garage was not a good experience and I suspect a defect in the diesel particulate filter. Have any of you had similar symptoms in your vehicle or can you tell me what I might have to expect in terms of repair costs? Thank you and stay healthy!
