Honda Jazz Mk1 2002-2008 / Re: shaking at 50mph
« Last post by Lord Voltermore on April 12, 2024, 08:44:21 PM »I would also suggest wheel balance. One of the glue on or clip on weights used to balance the new tyres may have dropped off.
But as a safety precaution before driving the car again I would also check the inner and outer side walls of the tyres for any bulges as a result of a manufacturing defect in the tyre structure. Its very unlikely there will be.

The fitter may have made a mistake or possibly forgot to balance the wheels. Take them back, explain the problem and ask that they check. A decent garage would be happy to show you they are balanced on their machine.

My initial gut feeling is i will extend the Honda warranty for another 2 years to give it 5, especially as I feel I am driving an Apple Mac at times ! Also with the issue over the brake simulator that seems to afflict models from around the 2020 ish era...
Welcome to the Jazz world
I will do the same as the lack of any decent response from Honda (so far) regarding the brake simulator issue is quite disconcerting.
(and I thought as well I would be stepping up from the VAG-"quality"-nightmare when buying the Jazz...)
Let's all hope Honda will come to think better of this one and live up to their reputation!

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure

Yesterday I received a call from the owner of the dealership, who I have never met. He told me that he had heard I was an unhappy customer, asked for brief deatils of the issues and then stated that I was now banned, together with my car, from ever going to any of the Honda dealerships he owns in the local area. Total call time - less than 5 minutes.
...
What an absolute a**! (pardon my french)
This dealership should be "banned" from any customers to eternity!
The owner has absolutely failed to understand that any justified complaint is:
a) a chance to better themselves
b) a compliment (because the unsatisfied customer thinks they could perform better)

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Considering Buying a Honda Jazz with a petrol engine and a manual geabox
« Last post by Marco1979 on April 12, 2024, 06:12:59 PM »The Mk2 is a great choice. It is much larger inside than a Yaris and is more engaging to drive.
I owned a 1.2 for four years and drove it from 0 to 100k kilometers with an average consumption of 59 mpg (4.8 l/100km). The 1.2 versions are more basic than most 1.4 versions, but I did not mind. I actually liked the manual aircon; easy to switch on and off and the latter saves quite a bit of fuel.
Only time I missed the 1.4 was while driving on the German Autobahn with 4 people and luggage. Then it was underpowered. It felt quit nippy when driving alone.
Enjoy!

Keep at it: and remember keep notes of all phone calls as well as correspondence. This could very likely end up as a class action suit and you want to preserve all the evidence.
As for a dealer banning a customer, I suggest trying to have a phone conversation with the dealer, record it all and then go to your local press. The epithet I want to use for this behaviour would get me banned

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Considering Buying a Honda Jazz with a petrol engine and a manual geabox
« Last post by Andrewmvp on April 12, 2024, 03:54:34 PM »Thank you so much for your reply.
I have been working for the Honda F1 Team in MK until they decided to pull out of F1.
I am a fan of Japanese cars in general.
I am not a big fan of CVT gearboxes because if the maintenance is not done properly, as a second-hand buyer, you risk a failure. Also, reconditioning a CVT gearbox is really expensive.
I am aware that the Jazz's fuel consumption is not good compared to a Toyota Yaris. However, I prefer having more space in a car because I am a tall guy with big feet. I tried to test drive a Toyota Yaris, and I can say that the small car was not designed for tall people with big feet.
All in all, I will definitely buy a Honda Jazz with a manual gearbox, with a full service history, and I will make frequent oil changes at home every 6k with good quality oil like Shell Helix Ultra A5/B5 0W-30 or 5W-30.
Have a lovely day.
Kind regards,
Andrew
