can you pm where he works, my dad 4 ear old jazz has a problem with severe juddering and they are not at all interested

He will need to write to Honda Headquarters explaining the situation, the decision is down to Honda HQ, not the dealer.

While the mileage might be low, the car is still 6 years old. If thats the only major fault you've had in 6 years i wouldn't be complaining.

The horn packed up a year ago. First ever horn in any car that I owned pack up.

Just to repeat. It's the only major problem I've ever had as I look after my cars & expect them to look after me.

HONDA = Had One Never Dare Again

Do we really have to?:D

Actually I was talking to a friend last night, he works at my local Honda Dealers, he said that Honda do in fact carry out some guarantee work FOC on cars up to 5 years old, so they cannot be as bad as the OP is attempting to portray them.

What work would that be? Thought you said not even the bulbs fail on a Honda?

That is 100% correct on all of the Honda's that I have owned, never had a thing go wrong with any of them, not even a bulb, the only items replaced have been service items/consumables.

As is my gearbox at less than 27000 miles, useless, and mine is Japanese made.

Yawn...same old boring bill of £800-00 I have to pay because of Honda unreliability.

Here is one page about Honda's bad gearboxes.

I rang around a few gearbox specialists and they confirmed with me that the fault was with the input shaft bearings, which turns out to be a common fault on the Jazz and Civic box's.

I have phoned a few gearbox places who seem very familiar with the issue. Honda UK customer service, on the other hand, say it is NOT a "known problem" and as the car is well outside its 3 year warranty, they do not want to know.

If it's a common fault then Honda should pay to repair THEIR fauly gearbox. So much for Honda reliability when all there most popular cars have a massive fault on them.
