36 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/08/2021

Mileage/gas display goes blank, then flashes some gibberish intermittently. This issue started after I had a new Honda battery installed a few months ago. Happened while driving, but continued while parked. Computer seeems to keep accurate records once display returns. Stayed on after car was warm. Not sure if it?s related, but the usb and bluetooth have also been intermittent for several years.

My gauge cluster comes on and off when it feels like it I owned the car for 5 years about its been this way I got it checked by the Honda dealer 2/20/2026 their diagnosis is it having an internal failure I am not sure why it has no recall I feel its due to poor soldering from the manufactur I am the second owner of this car please help.

40 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2021

The dashboard display of my mileage and fuel levels is often blank when I initially start my car, or the display is gibberish (e. G. Numbers and letters where there shouldn't be any). This happens frequently (3-4x/week) and tends to be worse when it's colder outside.

41 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2020

Fuel/odometor guage display is blank / flickering when in use. Sometimes it is blank the entire time.

42 Electrical System problem

Three issues rod nocking at start up paint peeling on top roof by windshield and starting to rust windshield safety is compromised buy the rust and should be recalled I was denied a recall for the paint blue low temperature coolant light is on dash with a ambient temp of 55degrees when cold for first couple off minutes of driving can be a problem with the temp not reading right to warn driver of the true coolant temp and or can cause excessive emissions for the engine not to read right and enrichen the mixture which could be the cause of the rod nick possibly gas washed the main bearings in engine.

43 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/21/2020

Gauge cluster doesn't work most of the time. When it does come on everything is so scrambled that you can not read it. I feel that this is definitely a safety issue because you cannot tell how much fuel you have and you are unable to know when you have maintenance due and your speedometer doesn't show the speed you are going. Because of this issue, I received a $300 speeding ticket. I took the car into a Honda repair shop and they had to replace the gauge cluster $1300 and they told me this was definitely a safety issue. I filed a claim with Honda and was informed that they would not cover this and they were not aware that there were any issues with the gauge cluster malfunction. I have read so many complaints with people having the same problem.

44 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/26/2020

Have had to replace batteries every single year since purchase in 2015. Vehicle will function fine then struggle to start out of nowhere. Despite taking steps to avoid unnecessary power draining and trying different brands of batteries (which is a small selection) every year around October/November it starts to fail. The car can be jumpstarted without too much issue by another vehicle, but portable jumpstarting systems struggle to get it going. Issues will start without much correlation of how much the vehicle had been in motion prior. Car could've been stationary/turned off for 30 mins or a day with the same results.

45 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/18/2020

The instrument cluster began showing nothing or gibberish. No odometer, no clock, no fuel gauge, no time display, no temp display. Once the car warms up, it usually returns to normal.

46 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2020

The gauge display that shows mileage, fuel indicator, oil level, temperature reading and other important information that is needed to maintain your vehicle in good condition may come on sometimes. If it does come on, it is so scrambled that you cannot read it and then goes blank. I am very insecure driving the car and not knowing how much fuel I have or the mileage reading to know when maintenance needs be done. I contacted Honda concerning this matter and was told that they were nor aware of any problems with this and I would need to have it taken care of myself. I have read on many sites where several owners have had the same issue with this vehicle and I feel it is a serious safety issue. Also when this happens, it doesn't make a difference if I am moving or sitting still. Please, if anyone else is having this problem, contact Honda direct. If enough people make Honda aware of the problem something may be done about it.

47 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/22/2020

The display that shows fuel gauge, mileage, temperature, odometer and other important information may come on for awhile and then the screen goes blank. If it does come on the information on the screen is so scrambled and then the screen goes blank again. It doesn't make a difference if the car in motion or stopped. I feel very insecure not knowing how much fuel I have in the car or my mileage that I depend on for maintenance purposes. I have did some research on my issue and have found many owners with the same problem.

48 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 08/22/2020

The gauge cluster that includes the odometer and fuel gauge intermittently go blank or glitch when the weather starts to get colder. It happens every time you turn on the car lately, however. This leads me to believe that the gauge cluster is degrading faster now.

49 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/30/2020

Vehicle intstrument lcd where it displays fuel gauge, odometer trip meter is going out intermenttly. Vehicle is too risky to drive if you dont if you dont how much fuel you have left.

50 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/06/2020

Digital gas gauge includes odometer. Last winter, at about 32 degrees or colder, gauge often either did not work (went blank) or scrambled its info, which was then unreadable. Now, the gauge has begun malfunctioning in July. I fear running out of gas or missing maintenance due to unreliable odometer reading. Both situations could leave me stranded at the side of the road. It doesn't matter whether car is moving or not.

51 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/21/2020

The fuel and odometer gauge goes in and out intermittently. It's lit without displaying any information, the display will go on and off.

52 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2020

The digital display that contains information on mileage and fuel levels frequently malfunctions, either going completely blank or rapidly flashing random characters (letters and numbers). This seems to happen in colder weather but for my vehicle has also been happening in warmer (up to 75 degrees f). Issue happens while parked or in motion- any time car is on. A quick search of vehicle owner forums online returns multiple complaints of the same issue. Honda has made no attempts to remedy this despite it being a known issue. Not being able to check the fuel gauge is a safety issue. The flashing is also extremely distracting while driving. This has been happening to my vehicle for years and I finally took it to get fixed at Honda now. They charge $179 just to �diagnose� the issue even though it seems they should be aware of it.

53 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 06/10/2020

The gas and speedometer gauge went blank, there is no way to tell how much gas you have left in the tank, you cannot track down your oil service maintenance, you cannot track your milage use. This is becoming a safety issue, I don't trust the car, I can be left stranded anytime and I am doing the maintenance blindly.

54 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2020

The dashboard that displays the odometer and mileage will glitch out and sometimes completely cut out. It happens more in the cold and has been on and off but getting worse for a few years. The horn will also beep upon starting the car up. My repair shop says the circuit board would need to be replaced and that would be well over $1000. Most of the issues I have had with this car have been recalled so I am hoping this is as well.

55 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 04/01/2020

Fuel gauge cluster is a blue blank when the car is cold and I cannot see how much fuel I have. Once the car is warm the gauge displays my fuel level and other information contained on the screen.

56 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/30/2020

On the instrument panel, the fuel gauge very often goes blank for long periods of time. A driver may not know when gas tank is empty, and possibly leaving driver stranded in the middle of nowhere. Also, the same gauge shows prompts when maintenance is needed on the vehicle. Without visual reference to these prompts, again a dire situation could occur if not taken care of immediately. This situation has been daily, from the first time vehicle is started in the morning and throughout the day , several times a day, for at least a year. Honda wants over $1000, to fix this problem. I believe this is a safety issue. Photos attached.

57 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/16/2020

Electronic starting issues. Constantly fails to start. I put a new battery and also changed the battery to the key fob but still having starting issues. It intermittently fails to start. Sometimes it will take multiple tries before it will start. The vehicle has only 30,572 miles and this should not happen. A few times I actually had to attach a jump start power system to start the vehicle, everything in vehicle comes on normally with power just doesn't start constantly. Happens constantly no matter how far I drive.

58 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2020

The speedometer and gas register either goes blank or shows gibberish several times a day. You cannot deduce speed limit on highway or see how much gas you have.

59 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/27/2020

The right side of the instrument panel display, that includes the fuel gauge, odometer, fuel economy readout and service reminders, has started to display intermittently. Sometimes it displays gibberish. Sometimes the screen is blank. Sometimes it is okay. Problem started about one year ago, presenting a mixed up display. It has slowly worsened, to include the totally blank display happening some of the time. Happens with car stationary or moving. Changing direction or speed has no effect. Initially seemed to occur when air temperature was cold ( @ 30 degees f ), and improved as air temp and car temp warmed. Now has happened when air temp is @ 50 degrees f. .

60 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2020

Fuel guage display blanks out, then returns garbled. See attached image.

61 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/09/2020

The small screen behind the steering wheel that displays the fuel level and odometer will occasionally display gibberish or just display nothing. The backlight will stay on while this happens. It so far clears itself after a few minutes and seems to be more common on colder days, but im noticing that im not the only person affected by this issue and would like this to be addressed by Honda.

62 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2020

2015 Honda Fit fuel gauge display failure.

63 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/30/2019

The guage that reads the mileage and gas level in the dashboard is glitching excessively. There will be times the screen is completely blank. Other times it is unreadable. It happens whether the car is newly turned on, being driven, or if I restart the car. Was also not fixed with a new battery. It began a couple times in 2017 and it is now turning into a daily occurrence.

64 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/05/2019

Fuel injectors failed at 104,000 causing a $2k+ repair. Routine maintenance was followed per the manual. The push button start also failed at the same time. I believe these issues speak to the poor build quality at the plant in mexico and represent a small portion of the issues inherent in this vehicle.

65 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2019

The instrument cluster that shows the odometer and fuel gauge randomly doesn't appear when I turn on my car. It usually happens when it is cold outside (less than 55-ish). The screen will turn on sometime after driving 4-10 miles. At first the screen will look garbled, but then it will be fine. It looks like a ton of people are reporting this problem.

66 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2019

The part of the dashboard that shows the fuel levels, mpg, and odometer keeps shorting out and only showing a blank blue screen. Sometimes it will try to come back on and show random lines and symbols. It's impossible to know how much gas I have, which makes me extremely uncomfortable driving it. This happens when I first start the car. Sometimes it will come back on correctly after about 20-30 minutes of running the car. There has been no correlation in any conditions of when it works verses when it doesn't.

67 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/10/2019

Fuel gauge, odometer is glitching. Sometimes just doesn't show anything.

68 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

When I turn on my car, the odometer no longer displays information. Every once in a while, it will flicker and glitch and sometimes come back. However, most of the time, I am unable to see my fuel gauge, which is a safety issue. This started back in November 2019, and it now happens every day.

69 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

The fuel gauge display has failed (it also displays time, odometer, temp, etc). It comes on intermittently, or not at all. When it does come on, sometimes it's glitched out/complete gibberish, with the wrong fuel amount. Many, many other Honda Fits have this issue (no recall, corporate refuses to acknowledge this manufacturing defect). Time, mileage, and temperature have no effect. Cost is $700+ for dealer to fix.

70 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 10/22/2019

Fuel gauge and mileage display malfunctioning - flickers on and off with incoherent numbers and symbols. Will go off completely and remain blankly backlit, sometimes comes back on and flickers and off again. It was flickering when I started the car in the morning and while I was driving.
