I suppose I come into the 'wants too much' brigade. It's not that I can see others point of view BUT I do get a little pigged over so called servicing and warranty issues.
What's the old git on about now.
Today, after 32 mths of ownership I was able to have a good look underneath our Jazz. All seemed OK except Two brackets bolted to the body that are used as handbrake cable guides are so rusted the metal is beginning to go. Fine, easily replaced BUT all around these brackets the body paint/seal is blistering suggesting rust is getting into the body.
When I bought the car it had a so called Honda extended warranty and also free servicing. Looking at the service book is a section on rust. At each service, the operator? is expected to check for rust etc. Of course dealers do not stamp books so the poor old customer has no idea of what is done. I believe the Jazz is warranted against perforation for 10 yrs. BUT the car must be serviced by a Honda dealer. What is the point if the operator is going to ignore warning signals. This rust is not something that has occurred over the past 10 mths so what price the so called warranty.
Of course i can ignore this rust and hope but given the weather in this part of the world rust is an ever present problem. I appreciate dealers have to make a profit but come on my experience has been they want to make mega bucks, Refusing to rectify paint problems does not help.
Am I expecting too much? the car is six and a half years old with 53,000 miles on the clock. If I had been told 12 mths ago, my health might have allowed me to do the job but now, I will have to pay someone to do it.
