The right side gauge in the dashboard (fuel gage, odometer, mpg, etc) goes blank or shows giberish intermentently, especially when cold. Currently the display has been permanently blank for some months now. Reading in forums, this is a VERY common problem with 2015 and newer Honda Fit and Honda refuses to acknowledge its a common issue and thus no recall. Not knowing what your fuel level is a very big safety concern. Honda wants $1200 or more to fix.

My fuel gauge display malfunctions whenever the weather is too cold outside, causing the screen to go blank. It remains blank or glitches gibberish words until the screen returns to normal or stays frozen with gibberish language. I've noticed that the fuel gauge display works fine if I'm driving before 8 am during cold mornings, but it starts to malfunction or flicker until the display is frozen or blank once it's past 8 am. This problem has made it difficult for me to know when I'm low on gas as I commute a long distance for work. It's especially difficult during the cold winter months when my fuel gauge display is blank or malfunctioning 95% of the time. I've been experiencing this issue for about 3-4 years now whenever the colder seasons approach. I've been quoted $1000 to replace the entire dashboard by the Honda dealership when this issue wasn't a problem caused by me as other Honda fit owners have experienced the same concerns.

digital display with mileage, gas maintenance information intermittently fails or appears scrambled. Could possibly be connected to temperature but not consistent. It is a safety issue in that you don’t know how much gas you have and you cannot check maintenance information. This has been happening intermittently for about 2 1/2 years.

Honda is not replacing the fuel pump on these vehicles. They are stating that the fuel pump has to fail before they replace it. If the fuel pump fails while someone is driving on the highway, there is a strong likelihood that they could crash. Honda has sent out recall flyers to take your vehicle to any local dealer and they will replace it for free. I have called every dealership within 50 miles of the D.C. area and none will replace the recalled fuel pump until the car breaks down.
