Consumer Description
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.
