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

Other owners with this fault should capitalise on this fact when faced with it's parts only response. Owners should add the brake failure is widely discussed & commented upon on social media Honda forums.
Get your emails letters back into the sticky dealership and if course Honda HQ. Be polite but firm - Honda this is your problem please help loyal customers in the UK ........

My Honda was finally repaired after around 5 weeks and it was good to drive it again. Unlike some dealers on this forum mine have been very empathetic and supportive and therefore now I feel I should mention them by name - Hendy Honda - near Portsmouth - and all costs have also been met by Honda. However, I still await with interest for DVSA’s findings with Honda.

I also had my repaired car back this week - from Hendy Honda, Portsmouth. I agree with Cobb2 regarding empathy from HH. This Dealership has been supportive.

Last week I had a phone call from Honda UK agreeing to cover “the costs”, but it wasn’t until I spoke to HH Portsmouth that I was told that it was only parts not labour. I phoned Honda UK to say that there was no way I was paying any labour charges and was basically told they would only pay for the new part. I informed them that I knew they had already agreed to pay 100% of the cost for other “sufferers” and I would take this further. Honda UK asked me to prove it! I told them I could because the affected drivers were communicating with each other and sticking together. Honda UK said they would look in to it and asked which Dealership had my car.

I am laughing now because they phoned back very quickly to confirm they would cover all costs. Turns out they had phoned HH Portsmouth and must have discovered that they had indeed agreed to pay 100% of Cobb2’s expenses at exactly the same Dealership  In fact a post by Cobb2 on 28/3 mentioned that his Dealership already had a part on order for another customer - turns out that was me! 

So 6 weeks later I am very happy to have my car back at no cost.

For all those still waiting, keep the pressure on!

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: Tyre deflation false alarms

« Last post by TnTkr on Today at 08:53:27 AM »

My Jazz sometimes throws the alarm after some highway speed driving. But I have been able to locate the reason to be very slightly jamming rear brake caliper. It makes that wheel a bit warmer and thus increases the tyre pressure. After getting the brake calipers cleaned, the false alarms don't appear anymore until after next winter.

You certainly have to start the calibration process manually, but it stops automatically. It's all in the Handbook around pages 443-444 (page numbers may vary with Handbook version).
"The calibration process requires approximately 30 minutes of cumulative driving at speeds between 40–100 km/h (25–62 mph)."

Thanks, I didn't realise that. As they say, always RTFM. Maybe that's why the light has a tendency to come on after driving on the motorway for 10-15 minutes.

Anyway, later today I'm making a trip of about 30 miles along mixed roads, so I'll initialise it before I start and see if that makes a difference.

Ninaniina - good luck with your purchase -the  Mk4 Jazz is essentially a very good car as long as Honda sought themselves out on the current issue. There are other contribution strands about the Jazz on this forum which describe the attributes of this model if you haven’t read them already

NinaNina, I have been with  HH  for 15 years with 3 cars bought and serviced there and they have been very good on both counts. Always very polite and efficient from my experience. Might be worth discussing a 5 year service and warranty package although I have only ever had a 3 year warranty but that did not stop me negotiating full costs on this safety failure with Honda on a 3 plus years Honda. Perhaps being a long term customer helped with the brake simulator claim. However this fault should of course be a recall anyway as many of us have already said.

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!

Published this before under other item.

Learned through split tyre and having to use the (dangerous) 'emergency' skinny spare that a nothing beats a full size spare to get back and running quickly & safely.

So I carry a full size spare plus trolley jack in below boot floor, attached photoes for info.

Esswntial journeys such as going to airport cannot wait for AA etc.

Not noticed mine either, and I'm tooling around with rear seats down as I'm in house DIY mode

Check the vent isn't blocked and get it looked at. An overheating HV battery is potentially dangerous. Look at those e-scooter and e-bike charging fires
