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

I am a bit confused by the chassis numbers on the list on page 4.   They show 7 digits.  My car appears to end in  6 digits    2021** 

If I ignore  the first digit  this appears to put my car within the GR3 1200001  -GR3 1218092
May21 3rd  year of Reiwa  (21 may 2021) to 2 Feb  4th year of Reiwa   (2 feb 2022)  which is about right as the car was delivered in October 2021.   

Is this correct?

I have no knowledge of the mirror but I will make some theoretical suggestions  - which may be wrong. :-[

A few mk4 owners have had problems with the right hand mirror .These were replaced under warranty. Some have solved the problem themselves with carefully targeted  light lubrication.  But I am not sure this is your problem.

How does the electric motor 'know' when it needs to stop?  If there is only one motor and cog wheel  it may run backwards and forwards  by reversing the polarity so there may be two stop positions.  There may be some sort of position sensor  in the mirror that cuts power when the mirror is fully extended or fully retracted. Maybe this has become desynchronised or displaced.  But the mechanism may be built in to the motor and not immediately obvious  , or tripped by a lug on the cogwheel  ,that maybe worked when first fitted  but not tripping it now.        Its also possible the broken cogwheel was the result of the motor over running previously ,  not the cause of the problem.  It might be able to tolerate  a certain amount of over run for a while without breaking or wearing out.   

Another possibility is that power is cut  by some sort of electrical device when it senses   the motor is under strain because the mirror has reached its position. It would also give protection if the mirror is obstructed in some way, such as by  ice.  Maybe if there is such a device it has  failed .  But it need not be in the mirror itself,but elsewhere as part of complex electronics.   :(

Does the mirror work ok if you use the manual  mirror fold switch in the drivers door?  Could the switch be faulty.? But i would have thought this would affect both mirrors. 
Does the passenger mirror  motor stop running as it should?   
These things might help you isolate the cause  .

If you dont mind some extra work, you could as a last test  unplug the mirror wiring  and using extension wires  connect the left mirror to the right side wiring   and then vice versa.  If the problem migrates to the other mirror  the problem may be central to the car internal  wiring. If the same mirror continues to be faulty   the fault lies within in the mirror and it may be easier  to replace it.  You may be able to get a second hand one for not much more than you paid for the cogs.  There are  used parts search web sites. Enter what you need for free and various breakers yards  send you their price. A bit like a personalised ebay listing. 

  Or dont bother with the rewiring trick and replace it anyway.    If it  later proves both mirrors are ok you could  re sell one  and get some of your money back.

Sounds like Honda need to get these kits sent to the UK asap knowing they are going to be needed

Having to wait months for repair due to parts supply is unsatisfactory

... and while your car is standing around waiting, the batteries are probably degrading which may lead to future problems

It does look as if there are at least 5 or 6 similar problems just on this forum and looking at the CRV forum and Japanese "recalls" list it may well be fairly extensive or possibly so in the future. Once my garage have actually diagnosed the fault, although it certainly looks like it will be the brake simulator from these posts, I will certainly expect a goodwill gesture on a car of this age and mileage and if not I will take it further with Honda and elsewhere if necessary.
Like most Honda owners I have always been impressed with their reliability and advocated them to many friends and so I really do hope they will sort these problems out in the right way for all customers.

This sounds like a significantly growing problem.  I'd be amazed if a manufacturer could get away with dismissing the issue or making customers pay for it to be fixed,  imagine the negative press it would lead to. Who would want to buy a used example if they could be landed with a disabled car and a £1500 bill shortly after buying a 3yr old car?

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Driver side electric folding mirror
« Last post by Theaah on March 27, 2024, 07:07:25 PM »
I have a 2009 registered September Mk2 Honda Jazz V-tec and recently the mirror stopped folding in when I pressed the button on the dash. The near-side mirror was folding in and out OK. I considered buying a second hand replacement complete unit but was put off by the cost, especially when I saw an on-line post suggesting the problem may be a small nylon/plastic gear that may have broken. On disassembling the mirror unit the cause was said gear.
I bought a replacement gear for £19.99 and fitted it 7ndays ago and all was working fine, until today when the driver side mirror would not fold back in. The mirror motor seemed to be still running but the mirror would not fold out from its "in" position,  so I once again took the mirror unit to bits expecting the (recently purchased) gear to be broken and at fault. Unfortunately it wasn't and I couldn't see any other gearing problem from within the unit when it was stripped down. I re-assembled the whole unit again and when I plugged in the mirror connector unit and tested the mirror, it was folding in and out but the mirror motor seemed to be permanently running when the mirror unit was folded at both "in" and "out" position.

I haven't done anything different from when I fitted the replacement gear and assembled the mirror unit (as far as I know).

I shall be most grateful if anyone can suggest a solution as to why the mirror motor is constantly running?

Suddenly had virtually the same problem last night (various messages, actual poor braking etc ) as you (Chis 52). After turning off the ignition it became driveable again. Same thing happened today and again after turning off once or twice it was OK. I have contacted my local dealer and dropped the car off as they may have a brief look Thursday but more likely, like you, early next week. Its only 3 years 9 months old with 12000 on the clock. I would like to know how many cars are having this problem. I'm not use to this with Honda having owned a Honda Jazz (Mk 2 and Mk3) since 2009. I dont have an extended warranty but I would hope that Honda will be supportive on this. We will see!

I served my apprenticeship with the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and rose over the years to become a Senior Design Draftsman.  I saw it all from the inside and can testify that it wasn't Safety, Practicality or Cost that destroyed the UK nuclear industry.  It was, as usual, politics.

Rather than have British built power stations on our own soil generating energy, we decided to import nuclear generated power from Europe.  We have never looked forward again since.

Last weekend when I fired up Garmin Express to update it I got the blue circle with a 1 in it signifying that there is an update available

I'm not bothering this time round though as I've never used the built in SatNav

I can't check again till the weekend as my PC is at the daughters house due to my house move and renovate
