The odometer/trip/fuel display is dark when I start the car and then it will flicker on and off with gibberish. The dealership is charging more than $2,000 to "possible have it fixed." This issue has been ongoing for some time now, and I-??ve noticed that I am not alone in experiencing it. Based on my research, it appears this problem has been present across a variety of Honda vehicle types for over 8 years. Despite this, it seems there has been no resolution provided to customers, which I find concerning. Accurate fuel readings are essential for safe vehicle operation, particularly in situations where a driver needs to monitor fuel levels and plan refueling stops. The absence of this information compromises the driver-??s ability to make informed decisions, which could be a safety hazard, especially on long trips or when driving in remote areas. Given the widespread nature of this issue and its potential safety implications, I strongly believe this problem warrants a recall or at least a full-scale fix for all affected vehicles.

The right screen on my dashboard does not work so I don-??t know how much fuel I have or when I need to change my oil. The screen used to flicker but now it is just blank. Seems to be a reoccurring issue with this model.

2020 Honda HR-V Sport with digital gauge cluster failure. The LCD screen that displays the gas level, vehicle mileage, and gear the vehicle is in has gone to a blank screen. Or at times, it will display random numbers and letters that don't translate to any meaning. As others have reported, this leads to us not knowing what our fuel level is or the gear the vehicle is in. There were no warning indications before this issues started occurring. It happens in all variations of temperatures.

Car is less than 4 years old with 35k miles and battery has been replaced twice, battery issue causes car to not start or shut off while driving, after doing research online it appears over 500 other drivers have stated they have the same issue. I'm assuming there must be an issue with wiring etc

The gauges on the dash will go blank, flash or have unreadable characters at different times. This happened the first time in February and stopped for a while. Now it is happening more often. Sometimes it will start as it is being driven down the road. There is no warning lamp or anything that happens before it malfunctions. Unless we keep track of the fuel level, we run the risk of running out of gas while driving as the fuel level is part of the gauge.

Dash cluster malfunctions, usually when starting often when the outdoor temperature is cold. The right cluster display is either blank or flickering gibberish. Cannot read my fuel gauge, temperature, mpg etc. Not knowing how much gas I have makes me feel unsafe.

I-??m having an issue where the odometer/trip/fuel display is dark when I start the car and then it will flicker on and off with gibberish. Eventually it will display accurately. The other displays are not affected. It seems to be worse in the cold.

Faulty design by honda for sunroof drain tubes. Clogged drain tubes cause water to intrude cabin and get fuse panel wet and inoperperable. Nothing about drain tube maintenace in manual. Honda denied repair stating because of rain. No easy access to clean drain tubes on vehicle. Cost me over $2000 for repairs to be made. Had to replace all fuses and fuse panel.
