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.

I literally financed a 2019 Ford Edge with 88k miles on [XXX] from SUTTON FORD in Matteson IL. I didn’t even have the car 5 hours and the transmission started having serious shifting issues and almost caused me to get in a crack with my son in the car. Took it back to SUTTON FORD and they are telling me the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. I think this is a problem considering how long I’ve had them vehicle and it is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won’t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it’s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.

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.
