Consistent with this, Honda have recently serviced our transmission at no cost. After shuddering appeared in our 2007 Jazz @ around 60 000 km Honda replaced the transmission oil for $200. The shuddering was much improved but after a further 5 000 km our family mechanic had concerns the 'fix' was only temporary, as the shuddering was diminished but still present on rapid acceleration. He recommended we discuss this further with Honda. Honda have re-flushed the transmission and assured us that if we have further problems it will be covered by the extended warranty, which they said covers all cvt Jazzs for 5 years, and beyond 5 years if the problem is reported to Honda earlier. This is the 4th Honda in our family, the others all lasted beyond 20 years so we are hopeful that Honda will preserve their reputation.

Honda used to fix this under warranty but no more according to the local auto transmission mechanic. Apparently the problem won't get any worse. It has also developed a click in the accelerator cable I think, but apart from this, a fantastic car. Should have bought a manual though. No wonder Honda don't do CVT any more.

The car has been great since a free cvt replacement, but am a bit worried about rear bearing failure reports above as it has done 90,000 km. Cheers.

Will def no longer go there for future servicing for both our honda cars. Although it is worrying to see how common that cvt issue is with the jazz. Thats our other car.

Had lots of problems: the most dangerous is the handbrake (quite serious!). Also have a strange noise in the front glass, detected just from the beginning (local dealer did nothing, just like with the handbrake), and paint has a lack of resistance at the water pressure when using self-service car-washing. Very disappointing. My first car was a Renault Clio 1200, also first hand, from 1996 to 2006. Made 220.000 kms! Zero problems, except some water infiltrations in the last years. Dont believe japanese any more. I have a first hand 2006 manual Jazz 1200. Had lots of problems: the most dangerous is the handbrake (quite serious!).

Upon taking the car to the dealers, they said the part is not available in cairns or australia. It took 45 days to get the part and the incompetent dealer sat on the part till I called them twice. No brands are prefect unless you are buying a Rolls Royce (or it is?) :) all brands have issues… my 2008 VR lancer’s ABS sensor died while driving up a steep hill leaving me with no ABS and stability system.
