The multi information display which includes the gas gauge, odometer, and repair reminders began having problems around September 2022. The display would blink on and off, sometimes go completely blank or sometimes show jumbled characters. When I first noticed this the weather was extremely hot. Later in the fall, when it began to get cold, it would not work normally until the temperature rose above 30 or so. I consider this a safety issue mainly because of the gas gauge not being visible. The solution by Honda was to replace it but because my car was just out of warranty, it was going to cost over $1100. The dealer confirmed that they had seen the problem before and asked Honda about paying for the repair. Honda only agreed to pay half of it.

There is an electrical problem with the electronic display used for the fuel gauge, odometer, and driving range indication. The safety concern is running out of gas while in a hazardous location on the road. I believe the problem has been around for at least two years. It only happens when the car is cold. The display is restored at some point after the car is warm. I have always assumed it was a loose connection that I would get charged a lot of money to fix. Some posts online indicate this problem does exist with others. One suggestion was even that it had to do with soldering and therefore would be an expensive repair to replace at least one part. If this is really a recognized problem, it would be nice if Honda would do a recall of whatever is faulty. For now I am just living with it and hoping it won't fail all together.

When the vehicle is cold (in the 4 years I have owned this car-bought new), this month is the first incidence this has occurred (Three times so far) The fuel gage, trip meter, odometer, clock and MPG display will show gibberish when the car is first started and then either keep the gibberish or then show nothing. When the car is warmed up, the gage operates as normal. The speedometer thankfully is not affected. Nor is the tachometer affected. While most of the gages being intermittently out is more of an annoyance, I'd REALLY like to know how much fuel I have, especially as the odometer/trip meter likewise die. I live in Louisiana. This problem would be a real concern in a more northern state. Everything I've read consistently stated that the problem was due to soldering developing cracks due to repeated expansion/contraction due to heat/cold. That in turn causes intermittent failure in cold weather.

The electronic odometer and audio control displays will blink on and off, or will display gibberish. The odometer display shows the gas gauge, which if not properly displayed, the car could run out of gas when driving. The audio display shows the car's performance.

Multiple warning lights come on and won't turn off. We have taken to be repaired twice at a non-Honda repair shop. No issues with any of the sensors could be found and everything was reset. We just picked up our car for the second incident on 10/28 and now on 10/31 it has happened for the third time. This seems very unsafe as I am not sure if the safety features will work properly of if it will have a major malfunction while driving and possibly cause an accident.

The display has stopped functioning in cold weather. The odometer, fuel level, and lights on dash fail to work during cold weather. This is a safety hazard and prevents the driver from being able to monitor fuel levels. This has been happening since 20k miles. A quick search online has shown that this is a common problem amongst Honda Fits and it should be a recall. I have even reached out to dealerships and they are also aware of the problem. Honda needs to take responsibility and see that this gets fixed.

The cluster doesn-€™t light up and the speedometer and tachometer don-€™t work as well. Check engine Code U0155 which one of these parts that could potentially fall under this code had been replaced under warranty.

I purchased my new vehicle February 2020. These are my electronic vehicle issues: 1) my battery dies when left for several hours with no electronics left on and no after market add on equipment. 2) electronic display looses touch functionality. Battery disconnect restores. 3) radio presets change to channels I would not select. I think a hacker has compromised the gps or cellular phone factory power/connect attachment. These issue stop when the vehicle looses view of the sky. Ie., metal roof garage. Attached volt meter and vehicle has severe electrical drain for normal 14.4 to 12.2 volts. This is variable and unrelated to heavy power draining equipment like "rear window defroster." Electrical system normally drops momentarily during factory equipment initial turn on but quickly returns to 14.4 volts.at various times while driving, system voltage will remain at 12.2 volts with no user electrical equipment change. Possible suspect within law enforcement reports. Law enforcement reports: Russell cty al 19sl06902, 18sl12031, 19sl06910 lee cty al 1906-2823, 1810-2196
