Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Spodric on Today at 11:06:02 AM »In my case I didn't get an invoice, only a Service Check Sheet. The Honda 5 Year Care Package (an optional extra I paid for) includes free scheduled services for 5 years as well as the extended Warranty.
All the relevant service, recall work, and warranty records must be on Honda's computer database that only the Dealer can access. Including a record of the brake simulator repair under Warranty, for which I have received no paperwork for my own records.
I like keeping full paper records in my file. This newfangled reliance on digital-only record keeping by Honda is frustrating. It seems to me that it is potentially anti-competitive, inasmuch as it might put the Honda customer at a disadvantage when or if the customer wants to trade in the Honda with a different dealer network to buy a different marque. Without relevant paperwork, how can the Honda car owner prove that all these jobs have been carried out by the Honda dealer?

« Last post by Spodric on Today at 09:46:16 AM »My 2d worth on the brake fluid change query:
My Jazz had its 3 year service last July. That might have included a scheduled brake fluid change. The
relevant box on the Service Check Sheet is ticked. But I can't be absolutely certain about that item.
The electric brake [simulator] [modulator] [servo] [whatever the Dealership likes to call it] failure occurred on 26 March. 7 months and about 3,400 miles had elapsed since the presumed brake fluid change.
If brake failure takes place shortly after a brake fluid change, that could be mere coincidence. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that there is some kind of causation between the two. It could just as easily have been triggered by a deep pothole that gave the faulty part a sudden shock. Mere speculation, obviously. What most of these sudden brake failures have in common is that they took place on engine start-up, while stationary, not while driving the Jazz.
I pressed the brake pedal while pushing the Start button. Gear selector in P and parking brake on. There followed a series of warning bleeps and symbols appearing on the dash display. I suspect that with my foot on the brake pedal, the corroded sensor inside the brake module had started to give the ECU some pressure readings that were abnormal and/or outside the permitted range, so the ECU shut it down and tried to stop the parking brake being released.
Whatever the actual failure mechanism, the Jazz had become undriveable. Attempting to drive it would be very risky. It needed to be recovered and taken to the dealership ASAP. In fact I had to wait 9 days for a workshop appointment. In total I was without the Jazz for 21 days. Not a good experience.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: This damned tyre pressure warning system.
« Last post by doctormirabilis on Today at 08:55:01 AM »So relieved to see others are having same problem. I've been going mad over my '19 Jazz' tire pressure warning system.
False alarm last summer and a couple over the winter. Then I actually had a flat tire, so started "believing" in the system again. Flat kind of came out of nowhere though, I suspect it was gravel due to roadwork outside out building. Anyway,
Then last night, on a longish trip (80 miles+) it went off again. Obvs nervous since it was late and I have no spare. And I was alone. But it worked out; I checked at a station and no difference in pressure. I'd even checked the same morning tbh, because I don't want any trouble. Then a little later, say maybe an hour of driving, the service light (car arrow wrench) went on. WTF? Weird as hell since I serviced acc. to schedule in October.
I have no idea what is going on, but maybe it's the fact that I had a flat and now am driving on 1 summer tire and 3 winter (am scheduled to change this weekend)? Maybe that causes the car to roll less efficiently or something. We use studded tires here in the winter.
Regardless, I am getting really nervous about this car, esp. on longer trips. Feel like I can't trust it. Good to know others are having the same issue.
