2008 Honda Jazz review from UK and Ireland
"Great apart from the handbrake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Handbrake does not hold when on any incline.
General comments?
I purchased a new Honda Jazz 1.4 in March 2008, and was initially delighted with my purchase. However a couple of weeks after having the car, I was shocked to watch it roll down my driveway. This happened again a short while later, and at this point I took it back to the Honda dealer who checked the handbrake and advised me to park the car not only with the handbrake on, but also in gear.
The problem however is still there, and like a few other people I continue to bring it up with the dealer. I however phoned Honda direct today and they have logged my complaint, but need several other people to complain about the problem with the handbrake before they will recall the vehicles, so please if you have this same problem, phone Honda direct on 0845 200 8000 and hopefully we can get this problem rectified.
