Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) Problems of Ford Edge - part 1

I was driving to work on a busy street, started accelerating and the car completely shut down on me. I had to come to a complete stop on the main road during morning rush hour. Was close enough to idle into a parking lot. All my dashboard lights started flashing with an "engine coolant over temperature" alert. No throttle response. Had to have the vehicle towed to the Ford dealership where they determine that the coolant was leaking into the engine. Replaced the egr cooler ($2300). Drove off the lot and the vehicle was shuttering upon acceleration. A( a known issue with the Ford 2. 0 ecoboost engines but yet there is no recall) after diagnosing, Ford came back and said I need to replace the torque convertor ($3100). This is a 2019 vehicle with 84,277 miles on it. These issues should not be happening. Ford has done nothing but issue TSB's on them.

Torque converter not working right and is damaging the transmission. Causes shuddering while accelerating and jumping motion. It jumps so hard at times that it seems like its not giving any power to go and almost like it is going to stall and cause a wreck. Happens when accelerating from being stopped or slowed down. They had me replace the dual pressure egr something that cost me $690 that did nothing and made it worse it seemed like.

2019 Ford Edge ran out of coolant without any indication of low coolant level or check engine light, resulting in loss of heat and poor engine performance due to coolant combustion. According to Ford service (who confirmed the root cause), this was due to the known issue of a faulty egr cooler [xxx] ) leaking internally, but repairs had to be paid out of pocket. Loss of heat in winter could be dangerous, and in prolonged error state, catastrophic engine failure could occur. Failure occurred at ~55,000 miles. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The vehicle is leaking coolant into the engine due to a failing egr cooler. Problems include, white smoke coming from the engine, severe coolant loss, loss of heat, and foul smell coming from the vents. After a service inspection it was determined that the coolant leak is causing the engine to fail and a replacement engine is necessary.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and coolant warning light illuminated. The contact also noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the egr valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,446.

The sensor on the egr cooler failed. I have had my egr cooler replaced two times. The most recent time was in September of 2024. In December of 2024, the engine light came on and the warning messages showed in the Fordpass app stating there was an issue with the exhaust system. After the dealership reviewed it, they had to replace the egr sensor.

The egr cooler (k2gz-9f464-a) on my 2019 Ford Edge titanum ecoboost 2l cracked acutely while driving my children to school. No warning lights came on at any point. Once the car was in park, I noticed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes. I had my children in the car strapped into car seats. Should the car have caught fire my children's lives would have been in jeopardy. Our lives would have also been at risk for injury should my car have completely failed while driving. This part failure has been confirmed by a repair shop. July 09, 2020, there was a TSB by Ford issued for: 2. 0l ecoboost - illuminated mil with various dtcs and/or low coolant level, white smoke from tailpipe and/or external coolant leak. However, this known failure with TSB information was not dispelled to me (the public) through Ford pass app or by Ford corporate or the Ford dealer, where I purchased the car in 2020. A simple pcm software update would have prevented this issue for occurring. There were no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure. The issue occurred on 10/02/2024.

My vehicle had to have the egr cooler replaced for the second time. The first time was when the vehicle was at almost 37,000 miles, the second time was at 129,575 miles. Just like during the previous occurrences, the check engine light came on and the message in my Fordpass app advised that there was a problem with the engine cooling system and I needed to proceed to my dealership. In this instance, I had it towed to the dealership rather than driving it. This is the same system that currently has a TSB issued for it.

The contact’s wife owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle lost power. The check engine, power train, and several other unknown warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the wastegate was stuck closed in the turbo charger valve, and the turbo charger valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred four months later while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that during the failure the vehicle lost power and failed to accelerate as intended. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic again where it was diagnosed that the wastegate was stuck closed again and turbo charger valve needed to be replaced. On another occasion the contact stated that while driving 30 mph, his wife observed white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The contact stated that his wife then observed that the egr and check engine warning lights were illuminated. The message that the "engine overheating” was displayed. The vehicle was steered off the highway and restarted three times after cooling down and was taken back to the same independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the egr valve had failed, the coolant level was low, and there was coolant passing through the exhaust egr coolant system and had leaked into the exhaust system. The contact was informed that the egr system needed to be replaced. The manufacture was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 33,654.

I had taken my vehicle to mitchell selig Ford dealership for a problem with coolant burning white smoke out of my exhaust pipes. They did a diagnostic check and they found the egr cooler leaking into the exhaust causing engine misfire and white smoke. When I discovered the smoke I was on the highway and my car had stalled twice in the middle of traffic that could've resulted in a horrible accident. Luckily no one hit me and I was able to restart my car. I had to refill my coolant multiple times to avoid my engine catching on fire.

Relatively new car, 77,000 miles, out of warranty. Temperature warning light came on. Taken to dealer. Exhaust gas recirculation (egr) cooler was leaking coolant. No puddle or evidence of a leak was apparent in parking area. Egr was replaced three weeks ago. Check engine light came on. Dealer reset warning light. Light returned during a vacation trip. Upon return, white smoke was noticed from exhaust. Dealer diagnosed that evidence of coolant damage was present in two cylinders. Dealer recommended that engine be replaced. Internet research revealed many discussions about egr coolers leaking engine coolant into the engine intake. It was also noted that other Ford makes and models in the build date timeframe have had recalls concerning coolant leaking into the engine. No current recall on Ford Edges. Ford opened a case and is investigating further with the dealer service department.

The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. The 1. 5l vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the egr cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty.

Egr cooler faulty; the year this vehicle was manufactured in 2019 has an active recall with this same issue; however because my vehicle in the same year; 2019, was manufactured in a different time bracket Ford will not honor said repair. Leaving me with an extended warranty whom will not cover said repair also. $1800(+) out of pocket expense. Any insight on how one is too challenge this?.

While my vehicle was in the shop having the transmission rebuilt and the torque converter replaced, the techs identified that there was a continued shudder. At this time, after researching the codes on my vehicle, they identified that the egr purge valve needed to be replaced. They identified it because the vehicle was running rough and should not have been after the items were repaired.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the oil warning light was illuminated and there was black smoke coming from underneath the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, who informed the contact that the egr cooler needed to be replaced. The contact related the failure to technical service bulletin: 20-2234. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

Was driving vehicle at 45 mph but once the vehicle slowed down to under 25 mph it would start sputtering. Drove about a half a mile and engine light came on stating engine coolant over temperature. I pulled immediately over into the emergency lane and turned car off. There was thick clouds of smoke rolling out of the exhaust pipes. Even under the hood was some smoke. Once vehicle stopped smoking so badly I opened the hood. I checked the oil and smoke could be seen coming from the oil stick. Looking at the coolant reservoir, it seemed to be empty. I had just had the fluids looked at a week prior to this! called Ford roadside assistance and was told it would be upto 3 hours before a tow truck could arrive. I was on a heavy traffic highway in northern virginia with a child. I called a local tow truck driver who came in about an hour. I paid 300 to have it towed to my home town 74 miles away. Then was told by criswell Ford they could not get to my vehicle for weeks since they had 1 mechanic. Had it towed again by Ford to marlow Ford. They claim the egr cooler failed per technical service bulletin but states no engine damage. I cannot believe this didn't cause engine damage with extreme temps. Where did the coolant go to? I have 42,500 miles on engine and still owe 12k. No vehicle should be doing this. They recalled the Edge from previous years with this issue. Why don't they uphold all years that this egr cooler is failing and not just do a service bulletin. I'm afraid the engine has damage to the intake and will show its ugly self once warranty is no longer at 5/60k. Any help would be appreciated.

My vehicle lost power while driving down the highway at 70mph. We had just left a scenic overview where the car had been shut off. Accelerated up a hill and drove for a few more miles on flat, straight roadway and the dash went black. The cruise control was on but not in use. Lost all power, however steering was responsive and brakes worked. . Day temp ~85 degrees. Vehicle miles=48000. Steered to shoulder, put car in park and hit the ignition button. The car restarted. Called my local Ford dealership and was told that cars are so computerized now that they need to be rebooted occasionally and to call back of it continues to happen. Per cargurus site this has been an ongoing problem since 2009. Most consumers citing a defective throttle bottle assembly. What's it going to take to get this on a recall? this is a major defect. I am afraid to drive my vehicle. Zero confidence.

Driving down the interstate at 80 mph in motion when the car started to go into 'limp mode. ' the dash stated there was 'low oil pressure' and 'check airbags. ' within the next three seconds the car started to lose power and power steering was shut off. The car started slowing down at a dramatic rate leaving me stranded. After the car killed the engine I was not able to restart the car. The car would turn over, but not hold power it would die immediately. I was finally able to start the car after waiting 10 minutes. The car would start and hold power. The check engine light and airbag light were on. I was only able to drive a mile before the problem would start all over again. This has happened to me on multiple occasions averaging about every 2,000 miles. It has happened in blizzard conditions, rain, and on a 50 degree day. Also while driving 35 mph and on a highway got 55 mph. I have taken the car into Ford and they told me there is nothing wring with the car. When plugging the car into the system to look for the problem they stated nothing shows up, even with the check engine light on.

The engine will not start when the temperature outside is high (105+ degrees). During the heat of the day, engine will not start (no clicking, no sounds, nothing). Radio comes on, air comes on, I am able to change gears, roll down windows, etc. There are no issues in the morning or evening when the day is cooler. The check engine light does come on only when I am having the issue. Once car eventually starts, the check engine light goes off.

At 6200 miles on a clear warm day of about 95 degrees, at about 40mph on a flat city road, the car lost all power of acceleration, and I had to pull over and come to a complete stop. The engine light and a wrench light appeared on the dash display, and hill start assist unavailable message appeared. I put car into park and shut off engine, waited about 2 minutes, and restarted engine. The engine idled roughly and the accelerator pedal produced no results when pushed. Shut engine off again and waited about 5 minutes and restarted. Accelerator pedal worked normally, and drove off. Wrench light went out and engine light went out after about 20 miles. No accidents were caused as there was enough time to react and travel was on a local street while going straight.

While driving, the vehicles engine will shut off without any kind of warning. The "awd light" will come on and the "wrench light" will start flashing the vehicle will start to shake and vibrate. This has happened 3 times now in the past 3 months. Once in early April 2016 and again on 6/24/16, and the next day (today) on 6/25/16. All times the road was dry and temps were between 70-80 degrees. Each time the vehicle was traveling at approx. 55 mph in traffic on roads without a shoulder. Once safely pulled over the start button (keyless start) is turned off and after the vehicle sits for minute it is able to started again without the lights coming on. I have researched this issue on-line and there are many, many complaints about this happening on highways where accidents have been narrowly avoided. Traveling in heavy traffic at high speeds when this happens could be a disaster waiting to happen. Please force Ford to issue a recall before someone dies due to this issue.

Issue 1: when ambient air temperatures are above 85 degrees the engine shutters,accelerates very slowly and the engine light flashes. This happens consistently on short and long trips without any warning. Issue 2: ventilated/cooled seats do not work when ambient air temperatures are above 75 degrees.

Certified pre-owned 2011 Ford Edge limited awd. Purchased in Nov. 2014. On Monday, June 8, 2015 as I was driving at 55 mph, a light came on on the left hand side of the instrument panel. The light said "awd off" and had a little wrench symbol on it. The car abruptly lost power and I just coasted out of the way of traffic and onto the side of the road because there was no shoulder. I tried to press the gas pedal but nothing happened--there was no acceleration. My vehicle essentially "died" without warning in traffic. Weather conditions were sunny about 85 degrees. The radio and ac worked, but the gas pedal did not. The vehicle sounded like it was going to stall out and was sputtering as I coasted. I put the vehicle in "park" and turned the vehicle off. I waited several minutes and restarted the vehicle. Vehicle seemed to work ok and no warning lights came back on afterwards. I called the dealership and arranged for me to have my car inspected for the cause of this malfunction. I paid $111. 30 for the vehicle to be hooked to a diagnostic machine but the dealership was unable to get any "codes" from a diagnostic reading nor could the dealer replicate the warning light to come on. On June 24, 2015 the same issue happened again. I took a photo of the light on the dash, sent it to dealership. Third time happened on Friday, July 10, 2015 and I was on the highway in the passing lane and had to coast across the slow lane to get out of the way of traffic so I wouldn't cause an accident. Again, I took photos of the odometer and the "awd off" light and sent to dealership. Dealership sys without a code from diagnostic machine, they can't tell what is wrong. Fourth time happen last night, July 14, 2015. This is a huge issue as from researching on the internet, a lot of other Ford Edge owners experienced the same problem! please help! I feel like I'm getting no help!.
