Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Garmin Maps Europe 2024 Available
« Last post by dayjavoo on Today at 10:44:42 AM »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?

« Last post by davejazz on Today at 09:44:19 AM »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!

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Mk4 2021 Jazz Brake failure
« Last post by Jinbeizame on Today at 09:35:41 AM »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

« Last post by Chis52 on Today at 09:33:30 AM »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.

« Last post by pauly58 on Today at 08:49:25 AM »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.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms
« Last post by TnTkr on Today at 05:34:45 AM »The legislation in UK or even in my country does not make it any less annoying.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.

« Last post by Kremmen on Today at 03:29:06 AM »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

Off Topic (Non-Honda) / Re: sunglasses for driving
« Last post by 123Drive! on Today at 12:03:56 AM »Don't use Polarised lens!The sreen looks like it has been distorted when you look into it!
https://www.youngeroptics.com.au/did-you-know/why-do-some-screens-look-weird-through-polarized-sunglasses/#:~:text=This%20phenomenon%20occurs%20because%20the,or%20dark%20screen%20or%20display.
Rubbish. Been using polarised clip-ons for 30 years or more. I think that link is referring to very old toughened windscreens, you certainly don’t get that effect with modern laminated glass. And the comments about device screens refers to lcd displays, not modern led screens (as the final sentence acknowledges).
Just because someone’s written something on the internet doesn’t mean it’s true!
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I forgot to mention I actually had a pair. I looked into my 2009 Seat Ibiza's stereo display and it looked as though the screen has been damaged! So I switched it off and on again but display was same. Later I put my normal glasses on and looked at it and all the distortion was gone!
A week later I went to McDonald's and forgot to take my polarised sun glasses off. The whole self service screen was distorted! I popped into my local boots opticians and the Optometrist told me polarised lens can distort display.
I can't comment on the LED screen because I didn't get to experience it on modern cars. Also my sunglasses had the polarised lens fitted, and weren't clip ons. As for the article, it was a point of reference so I can't assess it through a professional capacity. But as you mentioned looking out off the windscreen, the polarised lens worked well as any sunglasses I have had previously. Infact my friends who love fishing swears by them.
