Why won't my Honda Jazz's parking brake hold the car on a slope?
The parking brake on my Honda Jazz (58 plate, 9000 miles) does not hold the car on anything more than a modest uphill slope. The dealer has "adjusted" it twice and checked it on the 'roller'. He says it meets MOT standard and that eight clicks of the handbrake should be sufficient. On a steep hill it does not hold fully even with ten clicks.

Yes, this is a known problem. See car-by-car breakdown.

Neatly styled. Increased room and better performance than original Jazz. better to drive. Very versatile. CVT-7 returned in February 2011 replacing i-SHIFT. More reliable than first generation Jazz.
