Most of the 2016-17 models are already jerky. This is a known issue in the 2016-17 Endeavours and normally there may not be any signs before the torque converter fails. Basically the torque converter welds/bolts of the flex plates have broken off (the plate that connects the transmission to the flywheel).

As per a Ford technical bulletin, ASC are instructed to replace the existing Dowel pins with revised Dowel pins, to rectify the issue.


Do not go to any third party workshops. Go to Ford ASC even if you are out of warranty. This is a precision job and requires expertise. There is no time for experiment. Even Ford recommends a replacement. Most of the Ford ASC in bigger cities have done this job many times.
You can send a mail to custmail@ford.com and get the ASC involved. They may offer a 50% discount on parts even if you are out of warranty.

So that too is possible. So - to avoid guesswork, did Ford cite just how the TC had failed, did their scan throw out any specific error? Is there any sign of the transmission oil being refilled, or underbody hits around the torque converter? (Repairs possibly from outside Ford before the car was hurriedly sold).

All of that you have said is possible. A person buying an Endeavour is not going to take it outside ASC mostly when it's there in warranty. Outside warranty its possible.

There is no guess work here and going to a mechanic outside Ford is simply a No for me, unless the owner decides.
Its a simple torque converter failure which is quite common in 2016-17 models. .

IMO till now they have not done any scan or inspection.
I am yet to visit the workshop. Will plan to do that over the weekend.

Hi All,
An update about service situation in Bangalore. Tried to reach out to Elite Ford and PPS Ford for service. Looks like Elite Ford is shut down (confirmed) and PPS ford also seems to be shut down, no responses to calls (gets forwarded to Ford India and no response from them either) or emails. I am thinking about going to JSP Ford (near Hosur road / kudlu gate), any one has any experience with this service center?
please share your suggestions on Bangalore service situation.
Is there a dedicated thread for Ford Services? if not, may be we can start one?
thanks

Both PPS and Cauvery have all locations functional.

I did speak to a senior person in PPS to check. They have normal traffic and no issues with spares and personnel. Elsewhere I read that PPS has signed up for next 3 years so I presume there will be no issues.

You are right about Elite Ford. They seem to be wrapping up.

Well, given the fact that Ford service centers are now restructuring for the premium car segment, with Endevaour, Mustang, Mustang Electric and Bronco (as confirmed by the sources at Pahwa Ford, Faridabad) to be launched by July this year, some centers may be gearing up for the same and temporarily closed. It was indeed a relief that Ford is going to be very much here and in fact, they are bringing back the 3.2 L engine in the Endeavour. Word is, that they might come back in to the smaller car segment once the premium segment is consolidated.
So I feel that there is no worry for Endeavour owners and possibly come July 22, it should be clear to others and thus, resale would also bounce back up. Not that I would want to sell of my beast anytime.:loveit

Is this true? I don't think it's coming back, especially since the engine is about to be discontinued.

Where did you hear about the Bronco? This is the first time I am hearing about it coming to India.

The 3.2 was the best engine option for the Endeavour. However this was available only in BSIV. They stopped the 3.2 only because they could not introduce it in the BSVI version and the newer 2.0 litre with the 10 speed gearbox was already introduced abroad. So the returning of the 3.2 is not possible now. The only options are 2.0 normal and bi-turbo which can be brought.
