Had so many instances to upgrade to luxury cars but that means would have to sell Ford Endeavour because already have a 2015 toyota fortuner at home which my dad/family still uses for occasional highway trips (gets driven in a innova for daily office commute) and mom still don’t want to change it because of emotions attached to it.(btw odo is at 2 lac kms and still running butter-smooth)

In short, unless you are willing to shell more than 65 lacs in current market, they is no feasible upgrade which makes sense. Recently serviced it at Ford ASC and got a bill of just 10k Rs for 50k kms service, coming from a European VW polo experiences i went like in a good way. My next upgrade is tyres as MRF wanderers are beyond their life and looking into Michelin Primacy or Geolanders AT. Any suggestions would be appreciated.(Mostly city and highway commutes)

Thanks for your reply Sachin!

Yes, I plan to purchase extended warranty for 4th and 5th Year. "Touchwood" the vehicle is great but the extended warranty gives peace of mind!
My 30K service cost was 9.4K including GST

Hi guys, My endeavour 2.2 titanium 2019 model steering is showing abnormal behaviour after water wading (it was till number plate level ). The behaviour is as follows: At stand still the steering is completely smooth to operate but once the speed increases it gets stuck at one position and with minimal jerk i can turn it but not smoothly. What could be the reason behind this ?

This is steering rack issue and there is a Ford service bulletin for this. Take your car to your Ford ASC and get the necessary parts changed in warranty. Since yours is a 2019 model, I'm sure you still have your warranty valid.

Thanks ruzbehxyz for the quick reply. Mine is Feb 2019 buy so the warranty is over now. I am wondering how much this steering rack replacement will cost if i have to pay it from my pocket. Also my car has just completed 20000 km, steering rack problem at such low mileage is a cause of concern.

Couldn't be more accurate. I don't see any alternative in 50L bracket. On the tyres, I would recommend to take a look at Micheline LTX Trail. Been using for about 5 months ( about 7000km ) and I have only good things to say about it. Its a good option if you are not looking for proper off-roaders. Cheers.

Hey everyone, just got my first annual service done a couple weeks back at Dwarka Ford (Delhi) and overall it was a pleasant experience.

The problem is the “intelligent” oil life indicator hasn’t reset. Can’t find any option to reset the oil life indicator in the car’s menus and neither the app. The service also hasn’t updated in the app like it did after a few days for the 2.5k one. So each time I switch on the car I am greeted by an oil h bc change message.
Tried the ford helpline, was promised a callback within the hour; surprise surprise I didn’t receive any. The service advisor also hasn’t gotten back with information on how to reset it. Any ideas?

Dear Bhpians,

I accidentally cracked the tail lamp cover on my Endeavour last weekend. To my utter surprise, the service centre is quoting a 10k to replace it. Apparently, tail lamps come only as an assembly, and the outer cover alone cannot be changed. And the part needs to be ordered in advance too.

I am unable to find any after-market supplies either. Any suggestions in finding the tail lamp over - without changing the whole assembly would help.

Cheers.

If your Endeavour is Feb. 2019, then the warranty should be valid till Feb. 2022 and usually towards the end, the dealer contacts the customer for renewal of warranty. Did your dealer not call you ? Ford is offering warranty till 6 years of ownership and last I heard that it is renewable till 7 years. There is also a Anytime warranty valid for 20k kms.

Fan Like Noise from Below Front Passenger Seat Glovebox

I have had this recurring noise of a fan coming from somewhere behind the right bottom of the glove box in front of the front passenger.
It is audible when I first enter the car in the morning even without keying in.
It does sound like a rat gnawing away or a fan in motion and rubbing against some plastic.

At first, I thought it was due to some rat or lizard being stuck.
But that doubt was clarified when I went for servicing.

During the final delivery inspection after the service when I brought the noise out, the glove box was taken out of its notch and some adjustment done to a fan.
The service person showed me that all was well with the fan and that there was no rodent infestation.

However this solved the problem for about 2/3 weeks only.

Now option is to wait for the next service since doing it myself did not work.

Has anyone faced this issue?
If so how did you resolve or communicate to the ASS?

It seems they did but apparently the quick fix solution of adjusting it manually is not long lasting.

I could never come to terms with this half baked feature.
Whenever I’ve faced low pressure warning; it was quite simple for me to just reset and carry on.
The warning would not reappear.
Strange.

And so I have now taken on this TPMS issue head on and decided to install JK Tyres Treel TPMS for all five tyres.

Currently at the tyre shop getting it done.

Will update with pictures once done.

All, I recently observed an odd behaviour with my Endeavour 3.2 titanium (2016). While on the highway, ( just after I jumped over a pothole or uneven bump, I think ) suddenly the MID displayed a flurry of warning messages. 'Hill descent disabled' , 'Hill climb assist not available', 'Park assist malfunction' etc etc. I immediately stopped on the side of the road and turned off the engine. Restarted after a few seconds pause. The messages appear again. I turned off and give it half a minute while I prepared my phone to take the video of messages and switched on again .. and .. nothing. absolutely no message or issue. I waited a minute or so and carefully continued my drive. After that now finished about 500km. But no warning or error message. Anyone faced this kind of blips?

I have seen a couple of times just the 'Parking assist not available' message earlier ( a while ago ), but same way it disappeared after a restart. And never came back for long. Multiple OBD scan had completed at ASS after this. Nothing abnormal was reported.

On a related topic, any recommendation on keeping an OBD scanner ? I see some for 25 to 30K range listed in Amazon. No idea which will really work and help. So haven't taken the decision. Does it really help if you are not really a trained Technitian?

Appreciate any input. Thank you!

Same happened to me as well. In my case the culprit was the rat. Rat had cut multiple wires. Whenever i used to take my car over a jerky bump same thing used to happen. The problem with this is that nothing will show in the obd scanner because there is no connection breakdown. Connection only breaks when taking the car over a bump. Ask them to check complete wiring for rodent damage.
