Anybody facing this problem? Please help

You do not have to pussy foot the engine these days, so I have a feeling going to say 5000 rpm is kosher even in the so called running in. Just do not cane it!

Thank you Sir, I up gears when tacho crosses 2k and try keeping it under 3k ... The max speed I have gone till is below 75kmph...
I was following the tbhp running in thread...
So it is OK to rev her up till 5?
And how long will we have to wait take till we can push her to limits?

I've never faced such an issue in the three plus years I've owned the Brio. It appears to be a problem with the drive-by-wire throttle module located near the accelerator pedal. Ask your H.A.S.S to run an OBD scan which should point out the problem. If you have one of those Bluetooth OBD diagnostics port readers, you can even check this yourself and then approach H.A.S.S for a replacement under warranty.

I have completed 30 months and 36000 kms on my Brio VMT. Kind of agree with most pros and cons listed above. On FE, I get about 15 kmpl without AC and about 12.5-13.0 kmpl with AC. Driven in normal city traffic in Delhi.

Offlate I am noticing a rattling noise from tail gate glass. Looks like the bushes need replacement. Has anyone faced this issue?

Say 5,000km max. Also, modern Japanese engines are made to very fine tolerances. The running in thread, I saw it ages ago, but used my common sense. One trick I learnt, on the highways, lift off for few seconds every few minutes, to allow proper oil circulation,

Thank you for the advice Sir.
I would also like to ask your opinion about one observation I made. The company advised tyre pressure for Brio is 29 for Front and 26 for rear wheels. However, before a long journey I checked the tyre pressure (after 3 weeks of car delivery) and asked the air guy to fill in 29 on all tyres. To my amazement, when he put the air pump to the tyre, it showed current tyre pressure as 31or 33! However, I made it 29 on all tyres. After which, I feel some lack of pull on the car.
Do you suggest I go back to 33 ?

Actually this lack of pull makes perfect sense.

The company recommended pressures are "COLD" pressures. What happens to the air in the tyres after you drive the car / bike for a couple of kms.? It heats up.

The thumbrule is that after heating up, the pressure goes up by 2 or 3 psi. So when you tyres showed 33 , it must have been correctly inflated. Now after your reduced pressure, it must be closer to 25 cold air pressure.

I experienced exactly the same thing a couple of days back. It was at a traffic signal when the car simply refused to move on first gear. Amidst some crazy honking, I took a good 10 seconds to realise whats happening, turned off the ignition, restarted and it just picked up as if nothing had happened. It was the first and last hiccup, not sure what the reason was.

Do share if you happen to find something about this. I hope its nothing serious.

I also found all my Hondas overinflated at delivery. Some discreet snooping turned up, that in order to prevent shipping damage cars are overinflated when loaded onto the trailers. Often they do not bother to disinflate correctly.

I stick to 29/26 Cold in my Brio. I have a battery powered pump, so am doing the checking cold.

Test drove the Brio yesterday. Was really impressed with the compact size and inside space of the vehicle. Much better than the Bolt which i also had a test drive. Whole family is satisfied with the value that offers. We wanted to buy the E mt model as we are tight on budget , and its mainly for town use( i am from a small town that doesn't have even a single traffic signal) and i got Xuv for long journey .
BUT the dealer says that honda has stopped E and Ex model and he can only provide me S or V model. Is it true guys ? Can somebody confirm that ? This is from TVS sundaram motors .

[frankmehta]

My e mt. Ready for delivery. Gone for registration. It's a June 2015 model. These photos were taken when the car was just off the trailer. ☺️

Hello! Can you guys share your FE figures of AT Brio?
I have Brio VAT now completed 2 years & 17000KM. Mostly in city. And I am getting consistently 8-9 kmpl in the city & 13-13.5kmpl on highway with AC in both the cases.

Probably the dealer has unsold cars left in their yard, and want to sell them off to you rather than your preferred one...
Insist that you want E, or that you will quit buying it...

-Cheers!
