3 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2018 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 01/13/2021

The fuel and mileage gauge mostly fails to display. It makes me feel unsafe when I cannot see how much fuel I have while driving. This started to happen on 12/18/2020 at random times whenever the car is parked and while driving, usually early in the day when it is cold. It sometimes resolves temporarily or not at all when the panel reset button is pressed. Whenever the car is taken to the Honda service repair, the mileage would not appear, which was seemingly fixed by pressing the reset button. However, the issue would return after the car is turned off and on again even after pressing the reset button the fuel and mileage would not display properly or at all.

5 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2015 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 02/05/2020

With the motor running and the car either stationary or moving, the right dash pod displaying led readouts of the odometer, fuel level remaining, running miles per gallon, trip odometer, time and outside temperature will intermittently blank out, sometimes to return as lcd gibberish in anywhere from 10-30 minutes, after which time information may or may not come back in accurate form during the course of a trip. Purchased the car on 1/24/2020, has happened 3 times since then, most recently on 2/5/2020. . Read more...

7 Dashboard Failed problem of the 2015 Honda FIT

Failure Date: 12/31/2017

The integrated odometer+fuel gauge display on the dashboard instrument cluster fails intermittently but regularly. Display failure has occurred sporadically many times during several years of car ownership. Frequency and duration of display failure has increased significantly within last 6 months resulting in increased safety hazard since driver is blinded to vehicle fuel status and/or distance driven when display fails. Display failure occurs partially or completely as shown in the attached photos, and sometimes the failure lasts for many miles or multiple days before it self-corrects until the next failure occurs. Display failure occurs sporadically regardless of vehicle being stationary or in motion, but happens much more frequently (almost every other day) during cold weather when air temperature is below 50 degrees.
