Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Spacesaver spare wheel
« Last post by coldstart on May 04, 2024, 06:36:10 PM »In this situation of a slowish puncture, and you decide to carefully drive on to the next (motorway) services, I had heard that the breakdown companies won’t attend; as they would if you are on the hard shoulder.
I would love to have this possible myth dismantled!
As I have not yet experienced this dire situation far from home yet (fingers crossed!) I cannot tell you about the demeanour of breakdown companies.
My only "slow puncture" so far occured only five miles from home and I was able to go to the tyre shop of my choice and they were like: "What do you want? - Everything looks okay!" - Yes - That's because I inflated the tyre before I drove to you!
Turned out there was a screw in the tyre and they were able to remove it and safely fix the puncture because I didn't apply the gunk.
So, I'm a bit at a loss regarding the "myth" part of your posting - care to clarify?

« Last post by Lincolnshire Rambler on May 04, 2024, 05:38:00 PM »So if the premature failure of the brake simulator isnt a manufacturing defect then its therefore an engineering design failure .. arguably worse from hondas perspective as it makes them more liable .blaming the defect on the sub contractor who makes the part removes the stress from honda . Failures have occured at low mileages and no one has yet covered distances aporoaching 100k in a mark 4 jazz - it doesnt appear to be failure after x thousand presses of the brake pedal so nothing is wearing out as such .

Garmin don't seem to understand that later vehicles have their own mapping and the ability to self update via Garmin Express has been the norm for some years now
Garmin support are frequently useless

« Last post by Chis52 on May 04, 2024, 03:42:08 PM »I frequently read in Which? magazine about people who have managed to get companies to act FOC for certain product failures up to 6 years
I wonder how that translates to this obvious manufacturing fault
The email I got from Honda UK said this is "not classified by Honda as a manufacturing defect". I am challenging that statement, because Honda UK and Honda Japan have taken somewhat inconsistent stances on the question whether it is a manufacturing defect that caused these "simulator" failures. Even to a non-expert like me it looks like a manufacturing defect, walks like a manufacturing defect, quacks like a manufacturing defect etc.
I am still waiting for a substantive response to my escalation of the claim against Honda UK for hire car charges that I was forced to pay while my Jazz was waiting to be repaired for 3 weeks under warranty, through no fault of mine.
Mitsubishi pulled out of the UK and European car markets a few years ago (and might return with a couple of re-badged Renaults) so I am wondering if Honda might be about to pull out as well. If that is the case it might explain why Honda UK is resisting my claim, and is showing an inconsistent approach to dealing with other claims relating to the same failed brake simulators.
I was a loyal Honda fan, having had 2 Honda motorbikes, an early Civic, and am now on my 2nd Jazz. After being treated like this by Honda UK, Toyota or Kia now look more appealing for my next car.
You may be right about Honda planning to pull out of the UK market. Judging by the appalling way that they have handled the brake fault problem they clearly don’t care about their reputation any more.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: What is this bush / connector called?
« Last post by jazzaro on May 04, 2024, 03:12:33 PM »The yellow arrow is missing. Pink is what is should be as on other side. Anyone know whats its called?Could be nr 7 and nr 8?
The bolt just above and right of it was sitting there unscrewed and I had to screw it back in. Could the fact that the connector is missing cause enough vibration for it to unscrew itself or they forgot both. Im surprised the bolt was still there after all this time.
The front bumper was changed back in early '23 but its been serviced since last May so strange. Can only think they forgot to put it back in or broke it and didnt replace it?

« Last post by zesty_bum on May 04, 2024, 02:01:16 PM »Update: all fixed! Made a mild complaint to Honda and they made it as good as new (free of charge).
Looks like they’ve missed out the rubber seal on one of the rear bumper parking sensors - will this cause an issue?
Thanks for all the helpful comments in thread

I will mention the brake issue to them just to see what they say about it as I know at least two people on here have used the same dealer for their repair
