2020 Ford Edge engine problems

“The engine stalled and started smoking and has no lights to warn me of anything wrong. I was in the middle of a busy street. I had to tow it to the dealership I bought it from and they said the coolant was empty but there were no leaks and no warnings it was low. They said it was coolant intrusion. They said a egr valve and cooler were the problem part it was not covered under warranty. I had to pay 1265 to get it fixed. It's a known issue that should he a recall it's a part that causes safety issues as well as a newer car to be undrivable if not careful. No warning lights or anything is bs. I want this addressed as soon as possible. I could have been rear ended easily. Or my car broke down that I just paid 23000 for supposed to be a good working car. Seems like they did it on purpose.”

“The EGR cooler failed (TSB 20-2234) in my 2020 Ford Edge ST line on 9/26/26. I started my car and drove down my street and the car began smoking white/gray burning odor from exhausts with a sudden loss of power while driving on a public street. Leading up to this incident and during, no warning engine inicator lights or ANY notifications appeared. Temperature gauge remained at it's normal operating temp, dead center. The tow and independent mechanic confirmed there was no triggering of service lights/overheating warning. The mechanic noticed the loss of antifreeze without seeing a leak. He rulled out a cracked cylinder head and began further diagnostics. It threw a P0301 code as well as a mis-fire code on cyclinder #1. Also a code to cylinder#3. The mechanic's diagnosis was that was this was all a direct result due to the faulty Ford EGR Cooler and explained there was an TSB 20-2234 bulletin. Ford has explicitly acknowledged this engineering defect design flaw. I then found that the NHTSA has an active and elevated investigagion into this massive problem that caused my SUV to become non-drivable, needing a complete new engine-DP 26008. (SUV at 100K like…”

The mechanic noticed the loss of antifreeze without seeing a leak, smoke was coming from the car and the car had no \"service engine\" lights appear. He ruled out a cracked cylinder head and began further diagnostics on the EGR cooler. He found the coolant was leaking directly into the exhaust recirculation tracks and straight into cylinder #1. He explained due to Ford's faulty EGR cooler that cracked, draining all the antifreeze directly inside cylinder #1 without triggering a service light or overheating warning. I was told my vehicle would not be driveable and need a complete new engine or replacement. The mechanic notified me that there was a TSB (technical service bulliten) labeled \"TSB 20-2234\" where…”

“I have a 2020 Ford Edge Titanium. Only six years old. It has never been wrecked, flooded or had anything else happen to it. I learned today that it needs a completely new transmission due to a torque converter failure and comes at a cost that is higher than the car is now worth. This is unacceptable in a car this age.”

“Bought car used 4 months ago from Peoria Ford, Glendale. Vehicle overheated on freeway, added coolant- lost all coolant 10 minutes later and white smoke came from exhaust. Ford diagnosed EGR cooler failure, replacement and noted CV joint boot leaking and needed replaced- resulting g on $3200 fix with zero assistance from Dealership or Ford.This issue didn’t happen suddenly after 4 months & we believe it was existing prior to the purchase. Read reports of cooler, coolant/ engine issue on 2020 ford edge. These models should be recalled for fix as my daughter was stranded on the freeway at night - safety issue.””

“I just bought this vehicle with a broken powertrain, torque converter, and warped rotors. These cars are mechanics special that should only be $2,000. Since it's a 2020 it is being sold for $18,800. It can be repossessed for a crap shoot car. Before this I bought a 2016 Buick Enclave with also a broken torque converter issues. The engineers in car industry have failed. I would rather buy an older pre 2015 mechanics special for $1,200-$2,400, NOT $12,000-$18,800 for a POS drivetrain and transmission. A recall needs to be mandated for all these cars. Stiffing the consumer is unethical. With how our government and economy has been, we have had enough with being stuck with inadequacies.”
