2015 Honda Fit Electrical System

My gauge cluster comes on and off when it feels like it I owned the car for 5 years about its been this way I got it checked by the honda dealer 2/20/2026 their diagnosis is it having an internal failure I am not sure why it has no recall I feel its due to poor soldering from the manufactur I am the second owner of this car please help

Odometer screen, which includes mileage, fuel gauge, time and any check engine information, will regularly blink, appear blank, show unreadable characters or a combination of the three on mornings with an external temperature of 60 F or below. Reading up on Honda Fit forums, it appears to be faulty hardware and/or poor solder joints that are cracking. More complaints can be found here: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-generation-2015/95284-2015-fit-odometer-display-goes-haywire.html While there is a separate low fuel and check engine light in the panel, this is far more than a simple quality of life device and could cause a significant safety risk to the driver. Honda should be responsible for the repair or replacement of the display.

The information display that shows fuel level, odometer, oil life, and trip is it displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see the available fuel amount. The problem is intermittent and getting worse. This issue is happening with many, many, many owners.

Many other Honda Fit owners and I have had the same problem of the odometer and fuel gauge not displaying correctly. The soldering pins crack or come loose over time. This leads to failure to tell if you have enough gas in the car. This also leads to failure to show an accurate odometer reading. The odometer and fuel gauge display is digital and the screen often will glitch out and display a jumble of letters and numbers. Sometimes the odometer and fuel gauge display nothing at all. In these cases, you simply have to hope you have enough gas to get to where you need to go. This is a critical safety issue as someone could run out of gas in the middle of fast highway traffic without knowing. This is also an odometer issue because the odometer can sometimes show the wrong number for the total amount of miles driven on the car.

Engine Control Module failed, all warning lights come on, gauges turn off. Engine Control Module failure can cause the car to function erratically and even stall while driving.

Instrument cluster is failing. Requires replacement.

Digital odometer randomly glitches out and sometimes completely blanks out. I am not able to view my fuel gauge at all nor see mileage. There are no other electrical problems as I just had my battery checked so I don’t know the cause of this as it doesn’t always happen while driving. This has happened randomly several months ago and started up again.

Fuel gauge/trip meter intermittently inoperative (blank or shows gibberish). When the fuel gauge and trip meter are inoperative, it’s not possible to determine the level of fuel in the tank. In this condition, the vehicle could run out of fuel without warning, causing an engine stall condition. If the engine stalls while the vehicle is being operated on a public highway, this condition increases the likelihood of a collision resulting in injury or death.

UNKNOWN- Vehicle gas gauge cuts off all of a sudden and takes a while to come back on.

Digital fuel gage and odometer flickers intermittently or displays incorrect information

Main display that shows mileage, gas levels, maintenance needs, etc malfunctions - sometimes it goes wonky, sometimes it disappears altogether. It is obviously not safe to not see your maintenance lights or mileage to know when to predict the maintenance. The dealer I take the car to said unless they could replicate the issue, they couldn't do anything. The issue occurs intermittently, often in the middle of a drive, but not currently constant. There are many many other people tho on Honda forums who have this problem also, and theirs is constant, so it's just a matter of time for mine to be constant as well. The issue started earlier this year. There is no error code associated with it so there is no diagnosis for the dealer to give it.

In cold temperatures the LCD screen in the vehicle’s gauge cluster will report corrupted information or display none at all. This is the only method of viewing the vehicles odometer. Therefore, it is impossible to tell the vehicle’s mileage under certain (cold) conditions. This issue is caused by cracking solder points on a logic board and is a well-known fault of this generation of vehicle, meaning there are a wide array of 3rd generation Honda Fits that fail to properly report their proper Odometer mileage.

my fuel gauge display went out. Pretty much always at least once a trip. Sometimes it starts when I turn the car on, sometimes it's after I've driven 20 miles. The display stays backlit, but all the information (time, fuel gauge, odometer, temp) disappears.

The information dash which shows fuel reading, odometer, oil life, and trip is not displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see the available fuel amount. The problem is intermittent but getting worse.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the instrument cluster warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about the start system error regarding the engine START/STOP feature. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the switch assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact mentioned receiving a product advisory for the keyless start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

Hi, My Honda Fit digital gauge that shows odometer and more importantly fuel gauge does not work 75% of time. On Fit sites this is a common problem. Honda says happens to most Fits. Costs $1500 to possibly fix. [XXX] Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

GAUGE CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES COME ON EVERYTHING IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CAN NOT READ IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE MAINTENANCE DUE AND YOUR SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T SHOW THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, I RECEIVED A $300 SPEEDING TICKET. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE GAUGE CLUSTER $1300 AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

The right instrument cluster randomly goes blank or shows jibberish instead of the intended information. It includes the odometer and gas guage. You are at risk of running out of gas while on extended trips, without the odometer, you can not even calculate approximate mileage until empty to try to stay ahead of it.

My cluster have been working rarely lately only when is cold outside it will not display the numbers or my gas level, which is awkward because I can run out of gas and not know.

This has happened to me a few times and I thought I was alone in suffering this defect with my Honda Fit. My fuel gauge/odometer/trip indicator goes haywire. It is either blankly blue or half there. The other morning it resembled a kaleidoscope as the screen kept cycling through. When I called Honda to schedule service, they were accepting of my description., which indicates to me that this is a know problem. I just now Googled the issue and found a number of Fit owners who are experiencing the same anomaly. They should fix it.

MISC - SPEEDOMETER/GUAGE CLUSTER FAILED. SPEEDOMETER READ 70 MPH AND WAS PULLED OVER AND CLOCKED AT 99 MPH. THE GUAGE THAT TELLS FUEL AMOUNT, MILEAGE, AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOESN'T READ AND IS SCRAMBLED SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE OR WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY GUAGE CLUSTER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PUT IN A NEW CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $1180.50. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT ACCURATE UNTIL I WAS PULLED OVER. THE GUAGE THAT SHOWS FUEL, ECT. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND I HAVE DEALT WITH IT AND TALKED TO HONDA SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION FROM THEM. WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED 5/29/2022 AND WAS OFF THAT MUCH, I DEFINITELY FELT THAT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE PUT IN.

The dashboard that displays the odometer and mileage will glitch out and sometimes completely cut out. It happens more in the cold and has been on and off but getting worse for a few years. The horn will also beep upon starting the car up. My repair shop says the circuit board would need to be replaced and that would be well over $1000. Most of the issues I have had with this car have been recalled so I am hoping this is as well.

The display on the instrument panel that shows the fuel status, odometer, maintenance warnings/issues (such as low tire pressure) goes out, often for extended periods (ie: 15-20 minutes at a time). This occurs more so during colder months. I have contacted the local Honda dealer (Priority Honda in Hampton, Virginia) this morning and was told the price to replace the part would be $996.00 + labor. If you google complaints about this issue, there are many. I believe this is a safety issue, and this vehicle should be recalled. Photo of issue attached.

While driving the odometer and gas gauge intermittently shut off or glitches to be unreadable. This happened approximately 5 times during a 5 mile trip. It eventually returned to normal.
