Having run Michelin Cross Climates for 6 years, they are far from "mediocre".
And changing wheels for winter in the UK (Unless Northern Scotland) is not needed. Snow is minimal.

Have you tried both? I guess not. The difference is when I need do an emergency brake on the HW you will slam my arse in 40-50 km/h. And I will come for you with my jack handle...

I dont understand how honda are not jumping all over this safety issue !! So far in our forum no one has crashed because of the simulator failure …and lets hope no does . A colleage had a mini several years ago and as his wife went into a roundabout the steering jammed . The mini wasnt new and outside its warrantry ! Bmw mini replaced its steering rack without fuss and no cost . Further more sent the engineering investigation report to show what had happened and why !! As the honda issue isnt restricted to one model they should be hugely more Proactive IMHO. I decided to buy my jazz , which i considered to be a premium price over a non hybrid conventional car , believing the good reputation for reliability wouldnt give any issues . I also think that any part specifically required for the hybrid system ( of which the brake simulator is one , power controller electric motor HV battery etc) should be covered by the 8 yr 100,000 warrantry - this is the expensive tech to replace and you wont do that outside the honda dealer network as you need honda software to install and commission! I noticed yesterday a new model honda HRV for sale at my local Kia dealer …. 7 year warrantry .. ho hum

a bit more info. , Garmin got back to me , they are aware of the problem and are working on it.

It is a temporary technical issue which they hope to resolve , all those that phone in about the problem have been added to the group case file , their email addresses logged and they will be notified as soon as the update becomes available.

Latest response from Garmin after contacting them by email regarding non-availability of Europe 2024 map update for 2017 Jazz:

"Thank you for contacting Garmin.
Regarding Honda 2016 map update - if there is no update offered in the Garmin Express app, this means that you will need to contact the Honda dealer to get the map update.
Kind regards,
Aleksandra
Garmin Europe"

Do I believe this or should I continue to wait in hope that Garmin will come up with a solution?

On the upside: Modern tyres are much more forgiving of normal punctures and our chances are good to safely reach next service station thanks to the on-board air compressor (just don't use the gunk!)

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!

I also have Jazz Advance, July23 reg. currently on 7000 miles. I'm very happy with it and would happily buy another one.

I am still happy with my Jazz and HR-V both. However Honda UK's customer service policy for not filing Product Recall on this subject is the last straw in my case. I never felt previously Manufacturer's Warranty so vital, to make my life stress-free. Imagine, my Jazz would have developed this fault 3 months earlier within warranty period (or product recalled).........haha

A question for the guys who have had the repair, have they simply replaced ‘like for like’ or is it a new modified part?

If it is the same part are you just looking at same potential scenario again a few years down the line…. I have failed to see a post with this, apologise if I have missed it.

I owned my 23 plated Jazz Advance few weeks now and love it. (Ex demo 1500 miles when bought) now done 3000 miles and in for first its first annual service next week. I have another two years Honda warranty but I will most likely buy extended warranty for another 3 years… making 6 years.. peace mind really. Not so much because of this issue, but other issues that may surface when you drive car designed like an Apple mac

My faulty brake simulator was recently replaced by a local Honda garage but I have no idea whether this was a part that has been modified to prevent a future occurrence of the fault and neither does the garage that fitted it. However, I don’t intend to hang on to the car long enough to find out. I will be trading it for a Kia in the near future.

It's very wise to include a trolley jack as aphybrid has done, I found it next to impossible to use a regular screw jack, the car is extremely heavy, we bought an electric one, press a button & up she goes. Only had to use it the once but a Godsend.

I'm such an old school motorist, that I feel the flat tyre. I don't want or care about usually false warnings.

That's what I think, an experienced driver will usually 'feel' a deflating tyre. However these TPMS aren't just optional extras but mandatory requirements on new cars since 2012 in the UK. So they should work properly and presumably the car would fail its MOT if they don't.

The legislation in UK or even in my country does not make it any less annoying.
