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.

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.
ENGINE COOLANT LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE BLOCK CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A GRINDING HALT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE ALERTED TO LOW ENGINE COOLANT ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS PRIOR TO LOSING DRIVE POWER. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 42000 MILES ON IT. THERE WAS SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST THAT SMELLED OF BURNT COOLANT AND SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT HOOD, BUT NO FIRE.
