This problem reveals the need to check your coolant level regularly.

And, to know what it could mean if your coolant level continues to drop with no evidence of external leaks.

Turbos require a special (And EXPENSIVE!) EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) Valve in order to cool the hot gasses that are recirculated to the intake (Thanks EPA!) . Hence, they are liquid cooled.

With a "sealed" EGR Valve, you would never notice a small coolant intrusion leak within the EGR Valve. The first small trickle of coolant would simply be "burned" off in the combustion chamber. It's only when your coolant level drops significantly, or when more coolant intrudes that the problems start to occur.

So, catch the problem early to minimize the potential for engine damage!

I purchased my Ford Edge 3/2019 new, it’s been good until yesterday when the heat was not working my husband noticed the coolant was low and added more, this morning while driving to the hospital I work at as a nurse the car was cutting out and trying to die, the coolant was gone. It’s been brought to my attention that this is a known issue with the coolant intrusion and egr issues now this is my second Ford with similar issues our 2006 Ford F-350 cost 12,000 for engine work for which ford would not take any responsibility and we paid the price. Now I again took a chance on a Ford and a being told I need a new engine at 73,000 miles. I am a nurse I cannot afford this not to mention it’s a 2019 with 73000 miles. Please contact me and let me know what is being done to fix this issue as I still owe in the vehicle.
