Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Nicksey on Today at 03:35:28 PM »@ Nicksey:
My question was: "Our 2021 Jazz EX experienced none of these failures. I wonder how many forum members here can say the same."
There is a poll "Which Mk4 Jazz do you own?" and total 267members voted. This means that 267 forum members own a Mk4 Jazz. Some have been confronted with the failures mentioned. Among them Nicksey.
But what I asked about: how many of those 267 are not confronted with these failures...
Yes, I did understand the comment. I agree that, on this forum there are members who have never had an issue too. I have been on other forums too, where all these problems are reported... and again I agree that it may be a small proportion who experience faults. It would be very interesting to see a breakdown of faults in relation to owner percentages. Maybe at some point in the future one of the auto magazines will begin to include the Jazz in its 'reliability' polls, only time will tell.
In all honesty, I really do like the Jazz. I enjoy the drive, its powertrain, comfort and overall package. It is by far the most satisfying cars I have ever driven. It has just left me with a nagging feeling that there maybe more troubles ahead.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Steering wheel shenanigans
« Last post by c.lday44 on Today at 02:08:48 PM »Yes, the steering wheel switches etc. can all be swapped over as long as it is the same design wheel.
This is the exploded view.
That is fantastically helpful, thankyou!!!

Despise steering wheel covers. They look hideous and are actually unsafe, they can let the wheel slip in your hands.

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Buying Advice - Jazz Advance
« Last post by Nicksey on Today at 12:52:02 PM »Now I’ve read of the following problems with the Mk4 Jazz:
Brake failure
Door mirror motors failing
Seat base sides cracking
Delaminating windscreens
I’m really going off the idea of buying a brand new one as these failures are on cars that can’t be any older than 4 years and most seem to have low mileage
In all fairness: Your list above shows the accumulated failures reported by a multitude of forum members.
This doesn't necessarily mean, that every Jazz is bound to experience all of these.
Positive example: Our 2021 Jazz EX experienced none of these failures and is performing flawlessly(so far). I wonder how many forum members here can say the same.
I have had the delaminating windscreen, mirror replaced and washer nozzle replaced. 72 plate. More than anything I have had to do with all 12 of my previous Renaults (one had to have a new coil).

Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: sunglasses for driving
« Last post by Jazzdriver on Today at 12:12:22 PM »You can get lenses that change according to light, rather than according to UV (which is blocked by the windscreen). They were introduced with driving in mind. Look around for someone who offers them.

Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: Knocking noise coming from gearbox under accelration
« Last post by jthorpvoodoo on Today at 12:00:23 PM »The noise got to be bad enough to where I was thinking that a catastrophic failure would have happened if I kept driving it.
Initially I could barely hear the problem in only 1st and 2nd gear, but as the noise got louder, at some point I felt that it was "bad enough" and unsafe, and therefore needed to fix it.
The place I went to took my old gearbox and supplied another reconditioned gearbox, so I wasn't able to open the old gearbox up and see what the actual specific issue was.
