It has been mentioned, that a brake fluid change at the service interval, has triggered this fault. Is that the case, or has a different picture emerged?

It’s good to know that my 22 registered car will be covered, but what are the newest cars affected?

Even if this issue starts after a brake fluid change, it is still a manufacturing defect.

As a result of all this I've changed my 2020 Crosstar for a nearly new Advance Sport a year before scheduled, was pleasantly surprised at the generous p/ex I received.

Now that my Jazz had been repaired I intend to exchange it for a Kia Niro which has a 7 year warranty. I don’t feel I can trust the reliability of Hondas after my recent experience.

When my next service is due, it's third, in August, I'm considering going back to Crown Honda for it if it entails a brake fluid change

My nearest dealer is Reading but I've read some worrying reviews about this dealer on various forums with them being less than helpful when problems arise ..... unless you're paying

Just glad I've been a Which? Legal member for years. Used them a couple of times and they are good with consumer problems

Nomis, will you mention this to the Honda dealer?

I think we would all be interested to hear their response.

I did mention it to my local Honda dealer who had a used Jazz in stock that I would have considered. He played the issue down and suggested extended warranty if I was concerned.

He was throwing in 12 months Honda warranty on a 4 year old car. Honda sell up to 3 years extended warranty on cars up to 8 years old, so if I purchased a 3 year warranty on the 5th and 8th anniversary then I'd be covered until the car was 11 years old. That would cost me £985 a pop at current prices, so around £330 a year which isn't bad.

Then the forum went down so I decided to wait and the car had sold by the time it was back up again.
