The fuel gauge in the gauge cluster turns on and off unexpectedly and without reason for extended periods of time. The gauge will also do what I like to call hieroglyphic numbers, essentially unreadable lettering clearly due to an electrical malfunction. This is very distracting as a driver and has put me in a very near death experience from the fault. This problem makes it impossible to read the fuel quantity during or before operation of the vehicle. It has been confirmed by dealer that the fault is due to a damaged solder and has been clear that this is a common issue with most Honda fits.

The fuel guage/mileage/mpg display flickers on and off intermittently. Sometimes it displays properly, sometimes it displays gibberish and sometimes nothing at all. There really is no correlations to be made as to why it is doing this, it can happen any day at any time or not at all. 2015 Honda Fit

The instrument cluster is failing on my vehicle which causes the digital display that shows mileage and gas levels start off blank then as the vehicle warms it starts flickering and causes visibility issues as that is very distracting and could cause seizures to those sensitive to flickering. This also prevents drivers from knowing gas levels which causes drivers to be stranded on the side of the road or have the vehicle just turn off while driving due to no gas. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have videos of the issues as does many others having the same issue. I have videos of the issue but they are not allowing me to upload maybe due to file type. The flickering can cause seizures as well as being distracting which could cause accidents. Not having any way to determine gas level or mileage also is a safety issue as there is no way to know how much fuel is in the vehicle which could cause drivers to be stranded or vehicle to quit working while driving. I have taken my vehicle in to Norm Reeves Honda and Honda of Denton for this issue numerous times and provided them videos of the issues but they stated they couldn’t reproduce it until the extended warranty went out and now the finally are able to reproduce it and confirm it needs replaced. It has been inspected the the Honda dealerships There was no warning it just started happening out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago. The first time it happened I went to back out and a start system error came up and the car turned off and lost all power. I almost crashed into my carport as I could not even steer. I haven’t had that happen again but the display issues continue to happen.
