On 11/3/21, I turned my car on in the early morning; it was around freezing temps. The instrument panel/screen that shows odometer, gas mileage and fuel gauge was blank. My first thought was to "restart" the car and perhaps that would restart the guage. I turned the car completely off, even removing my key out of the ignition. I waited approximately 10 seconds, then turned the car back on. The screen was again blank. I continued to let the car run and after approximately 45-60 seconds, the guage finally appeared correctly. This morning on 12/1/21 as I was preparing to leave my home for work, my screen again was blank. I let the car run and after one minute it began to flicker with garbled letters and numbers. After another 30 seconds, the correct screen finally showed. On this day the morning temperature was between 58-61 degrees so it was not on a freezing cold start as the first instance. I'm concerned that this second instance took longer to correct, especially given it was in a much warmer temperature. In both instances, there was no prior warning, message, indicator light or other symptom that this problem would occur. There has been no common factor to alert me or prepare me. This system is available for inspection upon request. Upon a general search online, I have found MANY reports of similar instances in Honda Fit users in the recent months. I have not yet taken it to a repair shop or had it inspected, but I will as soon as possible. It is unsafe to not know how much gas is in the vehicle, coupled with not having the odometer to even manually gauge or estimate should I become stranded and need to estimate how much distance I can drive to a safer location. Now my additional concern is, could this happen while I'm driving the car and become stranded on a highway or less trafficked road.

My 2015 Honda Fit out of nowhere won't start and is flashing an electrical system issue. A few weeks before this the electrical system stopped showing how much gas was in the car, how many miles etc. That whole electrical system looked really garbled then goes dark. My car wont start. And even after I fix it I cant drive around not knowing how much gas is in the car.

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.

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.

The fuel gauge display intermittently goes out on my 2015 Honda Fit, especially on cold mornings (I live in Minnesota). It started about 3 years ago, and has been an inconvenience, but I now have a courier job that requires photos of my odometer every day. If this goes out while working, it will be much more than an inconvenience. I also feel like this is a safety issue, not knowing how much gas is left in the tank. I'm hoping enough people with this problem report the issue, and hopefully a recall or class action lawsuit can happen. Thank you!

Electronic cluster failure affecting fuel gauge and engine temperature display. This can cause an accident if the vehicle runs out of fuel or engine overheats. After looking into this, it's a major issue affecting thousands of Honda Fit owners and a recall should be put in place for this.

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.

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.

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.

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.
