Honda Jazz transmission

The CVT transmission needs servicing at the very least, and replacing at the worst. We have had a handful of reports of troubles with this transmission and Honda has come to the party to help some owners with the cost of repairs. Have your dealer check it out.

Ask Smithy Xtra Reset memory in Jazz

No, it should remember your driving style and start off again normally. If it shifts in an odd way then take it to a dealer and have it checked, but it’s most unlikely that you will do any damage to the transmission.

Help me, honda

YES, I do think this is unacceptable. It is common practice by car companies in situations like yours to offer to pay for the parts and sometimes part of the labour, but as your car has done only 43,000km I think Honda should cover the entire cost of the repair. For a gearbox to fail at such a low mileage is most unusual and you would suspect it is because of a manufacturing fault. Forget about the dealer, go straight to Honda and ask for a better deal.
