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

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

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Strange phone behaviour
« Last post by R2D3 on March 27, 2024, 01:49:42 PM »
My Apple phone normally connects automatically whenever I get into my Jazz. Today, went to make a hands-free call only to get the message 'No phone detected'. Stopped the car to make the call with the phone and the dialling tone and voice came through the car speakers rather than the phone.  As if that wasn't odd enough I ended the call and turned Bluetooth off. Made a second phone call and again the car microphone and speaker were used.  How did that happen?

Later in the day,Having restored Bluetooth and made sure the car was connected, I made another hands free call only to get  the 'No phone detected' message.  What's going on?

Well , thought I'd try to update again. Still getting no update available even though still on 2023 ( my standalone is now on 2025 ).

This time I had a long chat with Garmin technical support and was told that , as from Jan.31st , Garmin are no longer supporting the Honda units. Presumably this means only the ones over 5 years old . Not sure if just the Jazz but got the impression it was all models.

Gave Honda UK a ring to try to get more info. but , predictably , they know nothing about it.

So it remains to be seen if this is a temporary issue ( technical problem ) or  permanent .

Nuclear fusion is always 20 years from now and uncountable $Trillions in investment away.


When I graduated in 1969 with a degree in Physics, it was 20 years away.It makes the current fission energy systems  look 100% safe and dirt cheap..
When we cannot design and build mini nuclear reactors in 10 years despite the technology being in use for over 50 years, fission energy is clearly a very very very long time and lots and lots and lots of money away.

As unfortunate as these instances are, I'm also a member of the Mazda CX-60 forum on Facebook. To say that the CX-60 is an utter ********** show in terms of reliability is an understatement. Early adopters have been saddled with a plethora of problems. There are currently more than 10 TSBs to address serious issues - such as sticky steering, transmission shock (juddering), rear suspension / front suspension problems, camera failures (which result in the vehicle slamming on the brakes for ghost vehicles etc, etc). I'd say that, at a guess, most owners have at least 5 issues, with some experiencing 20+ (to the point that countless owners are trying to reject their vehicles). And this was Mazda's so called attempt at luxury!!

So, in comparison, the Mk4 Jazz is reliable as they come. Yes, the brake failure one is expensive. And I sympathize with owners who have had that issue :( But let's put things into perspective! I think us Honda owners are spoilt sometimes ;-)

I don’t follow the logic of this post. Just because there is another model of car with numerous faults does not mean that the problem with the brake failure with the Jazz eHEV models is not serious. It renders the car undriveable and the time off road and cost of repair is unacceptable for a low milesge vehicle that is only a few years old.

I have just discovered this forum since I also appear to have the brake problem with my Jazz eHEV which is 3.5 years old with just under 9K mileage. When I started up yesterday I got the “Christmas tree” lights effect on the display which was flashing between ES and EP with 2 red circles around the letters. When I tried moving the car I noticed the brakes were very spongey and after driving the car a few yards I got a red Stop signal. I put the car back in my parking slot and phoned my local Honda dealer who informed me that the earliest they could take the car in for a diagnostic check would be Wed 3rd April. My 3 year warranty expired in Sep 23 so I guess I am in for a big hit financially. I will post the result of the diagnostic check as soon as I have it.

This is a very concerning thread, since it was started a couple of months ago.

When I bought my EX model, one year and ten months ago, I was fortunate in taking advantage, of the five year guarantee and servicing, if I took out the Honda finance deal for a minimum of six months.

Am I correct in thinking, that this brake simulator, will be covered for the full five years, for those fortunate enough to have had the finance deal package in place?

Still think this is a brilliant car though!

I too find it a tad concerning and similarly to you, my car is 1 year 6 months old. However, it was pointed out earlier in the thread that this simulator was a known (by Honda) fault, and was restricted to cars manufactured in a certain timescale during 2020. So hopefully we are ok.
If you check your car's VIN (chassis) number against the list on page 4 of this thread you can be certain one way or the other (unfortunately my Crosstar is on the list)
