Jazz Rear Wheel Bearing Replacement Options

**preludacris** · 19-01-2010 02:31 PM

i noticed a whirring noise on the freeway aswell, sounded like a tyre was a bit flat or something, but checked the tyres and they were all up to spec. didn't have a clue what it was.

luckily on a random service at astoria Honda, they caught the problem and fixed it under warranty. also they replaced the cvt fluid under warranty. fixed both out of good will without me actually reporting the problem to them first.

car had about 85k, and 03 model. repairs were done about 6 months ago, so it was well out of the warranty period. then again, 1 year prior to that, I took the car to have the cvt flushed by honda in prahran, and they charged me 300+.

Goes to show, some dealers will be flexible with warranty and others won't.

WOW 03 model? Should I bother trying with other dealers? I'm not very cluey about these things so I'd probably get ripped off

I can't see how they look any good. If they are OEM Honda crap, then they are just going to fail again. Honda has a major problem here, as far as I'm concerned, it's surely worthy of a safety recall.

P.S. I signed the petition at top of page.
