Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Re: Noticeable Jolt or Jerk

From your description I read that you go from pressing the accelerator to pressing the brake immediately.
The CVT always chooses its most efficient setting. When releasing the accelerator, rpm will go down because of this; it takes a few seconds. In case you start braking it might be rpm are still somewhat higher because you only just released the gas.
Does the jerking also happen when you release gas earlier and just coast for a few seconds? Allowing for rpm to fall and for the engine mounts to absorb the opposite forces?

Honda Jazz Mk4 2020 - / Re: Sides of front seats splitting

Found a video on refitting an OEM seat base cover. Whilst it's not a Jazz seat it gives a bit of insight into what SHOULD happen.
I note that the 12V battery had been disconnected which I think is important before disconnecting the underseat cables for the airbag system otherwise all kind of fault codes will appear when reconnected if 12V Battery is still hooked up.

Thank you 2robbie2. I got it inspected and had a look myself with the garage. There is some rust, you'd expect for the age. What do u think from the photos? They spotted the door had been resprayed and was a bit tight on the bottom and scraping when opening; so that is likely to rust soon. The car is good but the way the dealer has treated me has put me off wanting to leave my money with them. If they were a bit more willing to make a fair deal with the price....as it is on the high side and they have so far been unwilling to sort out the seatbelt and gearstick....which the garage believed Honda would have sorted those issues, plus u get the 12 month warranty; rather than 3. I have had other dealers comment u would expect 12 months at that price point. So I'm just a bit fed up with them but Honda don't have anything in atm. I would consider newer if there was a way to disconnect the bluetooth and wireless and ensure it is off. Do u not find the touchscreen annoying to use whilst driving? Do let me know if u see anything worth considering. I think the one u linked me is now gone.

“ got my 2021 EX spec last Oct for £15k with 24k miles on it”……

Have you checked that the front seat outer bolsters are OK and free from splits, because my 2021 EX Spec with 26k miles on it isn’t?

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Noticeable Jolt or Jerk

« Last post by buckycasuals on January 26, 2026, 07:03:02 PM »

I recently purchased Honda Jazz i-vtec 2011 Automatic CVT. I've done every required service namely: engine oil, all filters including cabin, spark plugs etc. transmission oil looks very clean as the previous owner did service before I bought it.

First time owning a CVT, i'm not sure if my problem is attributed to this type of transmission.

I've recently started having jerking problems once the auto eco mode kicks in. Like when accerelating, coming off the gas pedal to brake, there is a noticeable jolt which is usually when the ECO mode kicks in. It also happens when releasing the gas pedal and coming to a stop. The car is low mileage for its age around 40k miles on the clock.

I've scanned it for fault codes but no dice. I'm not sure what else to do. Any input would be appreciated

It would be interesting to know if  'leather' is described differently, and maybe more accurately, in different European countries on their local Honda websites, brochures and dealership paperwork etc . Knowledge of Honda using a more  accurate and honourable description in other countries may help with a UK dispute .

I've retained the July 2023 price list from Honda Switzerland (the one in effect when I made the contract to buy my Jazz Advance).

It states for the Jazz Advance's interiour:
- Stoff/Leder*-Ausstattung      (fabric/leather*-trim)

with the footnote:
*Synthetisches Leder      (synthetic leather)

I have several more recent price lists on file as well which all have the same wording and footnote.
Hope this helps!

I managed to find the Parcel shelf's, I seem to be missing these parts though?



The back of the hybrid is also a bit different as the toolkit is sitting on the side.

Thank you for the options listed  and your kind efforts to search for me .

I Am really   disappointed by the  earlier previous comments, that assume I am a silly female to be spoken down to this will be my last  posting on this site.
 But  thank you Lord Voltermore  for your kind assistance

Well, this thread has taken an interesting turn. I’ll just don my tin hat before chipping in my six penn’orth.

Firstly, I don't think my post reply#4 could have been the source of the OP's ire but if it was perceived that way then believe me it wasn't intended and I apologise. As I said, I was just trying to be helpful.

Since we seem to have veered off into the etiquette of the forum, I believe there is no excuse for rudeness in posts. That includes unprovoked SHOUTING, and anyone who does that ought not to be surprised if they get some barbed responses. Whilst this forum is thankfully free of the worst excesses of flaming, trolling etc that blight some other fora, nevertheless one does need a moderately thick skin and must be prepared to take the rough with the smooth.

There is also a difference between being rude and being critical, but some folks might interpret the latter as the former. Criticism is not a bad thing, being (politely) critical is the stuff of intelligent debate and posters must be aware that their comments may provoke criticism. A case in point here is the OP’s admission that she is quite happy to pilot a tonne of steel around public roads whilst not being able to see the instrument panel clearly. That veered away from the original topic but really did deserve to be called out, in the hope that perhaps she might think about that.

The allegation of “talking down to a female” is unjustified. Firstly, if someone (male or female) doesn’t seem to have taken the basic step of checking the handbook for a solution to their issue, they shouldn't be surprised if someone points that out. That might be perceived as condescending or “talking down”, but it’s actually just checking that the basics have been covered. Secondly, I don’t see anything in any of the comments about sex or gender until the OP revealed herself. They are equally applicable to any person of any persuasion. Yes, I know her username might indicate female, but one shouldn’t read too much into a self-chosen name … eg I doubt that Kremmen is a vain incompetent starship captain, and Lord Voltermore probably isn’t a peer of the realm!

im 54 & only recently learnt that caps is SHOUTING. my work pc programme is permanently in caps so i wasnt aware.
