2019 Honda Fit Electrical System

The fuel gauge and odometer digital display goes blank, when it comes back on the numbers are not clear. It does not happen every time I start the car but is something that concerns me. It was first observed January 24, 2026. The safety issue would be not knowing how much gas I have. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The component has not been inspected by the manufacturer. There were no no warning lights or messages prior to the malfunctioning.

Dial containing into, fuel quantity, MPG, trip and ODO intermittently will show completely blank (usually in colder weather) and eventually will show. Sometimes takes 2-25 minutes. Honda says the fix is a new dash unit but cause is faulty/bad solders on back of board.

The instrument cluster displaying the odometer, gas gauge, fuel economy flickers and goes dark primarily in cold weather

Dashboard instruments panel showing fuel in tank does not work in cold weather. Do not know when gas tank is near empty. The rest of the display in that part of the dashboard also not working in cold weather (below 50 degrees F.

The odomoter gauge flickers and freezed quite often. Sometime it goes blank. I cannot reset odometer after oil change or see the mileage. It was less frequent a year ago, but now is more frequent. It was noted first while the car was under warranty, but because it was not too frequent, I did not take it to the dealer.

A glitchy and/or blank main display often fails to show important information such as fuel level, odometer, etc., especially in colder weather. Driving with an inoperative display can increase the risk of being stranded somewhere without fuel.

The small display on the dash that shows, odometer readings, and fuel gage, has started having problems. It will either show nothing at all, or will be a mixed up, unreadable bunch of characters. Looking online this is a fairly common problem with the second generation of Honda Fits 2015 and newer. As this is the overall odometer reading for the car, as well as fuel gauge, and no other way to display that information, this is a big problem.

To whom it may concern, I am seeing a Failing Odometer Display in my 2019 Honda Fit. I've reported to both Dean Honda, and now Washington Honda here in Pennsylvania. Seems to be more prevalent in the morning, lasting anywhere between a few minutes or up to an hour. During this time, I either see just a backlight with Zero Information being Displayed or unidentifiable Hieroglyphics being displayed. I am unable to view Miles/gal, Time, Oil Life, Trip Odometer and the Odometer Reading. Which brings me to my next point, is the mileage actually being calculated while this display is either off or unreadable? Thank you kindly in advance for your time and consideration. It also seems as others are reporting this as well at least on Honda Forums, although there isn't a recall yet that covers this.

Console display flickers with garbage characters (sometimes) or is blank (most times). This is a safety concern because: 1) a blank display prevents viewing of gas tank level, 2) the TPMS warning light remains lit despite being checked and reset by the dealer, and 3) other warning light states are unknown. This exact issue has been noted by many internet posts, and appears tied to faulty manufacture (cracked solder on display control board.)

Fuel Gauge Display is BLANK in temperatures below 40 degrees fahrenheit when engine starts. Mileage, Trip A/B, MPG calculation, fuel gauge, and MPG trip avg. do not come up for >20 minutes and often require reset of trip odometer. SAFETY ISSUE- FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT APPEAR UPON START OF VEHICLE ENGINE

I bought this vehicle brand new in February of 2019. The right-hand side dashboard display does not work in cold weather and will eventually function when the interior of the car warms up. The right-hand side dashboard display contains vital safety related information, including the fuel gauge, servicing messages, and the odometer. When researching this issue on the internet, this is a common problem and is costly to repair. My vehicle is no longer under warranty and I do not want to incur the cost of repair. I am asking that a vehicle recall be instituted for 2019 Honda Fits regarding this safety related matter. As an aside, during my first year after purchasing this vehicle, when the vehicle was under warranty, the entire dashboard was flickering off and on and I immediately drove the vehicle to the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. They kept the vehicle for over one week to repair but I incurred no cost for the repair because the vehicle was under warranty. These issues, as indicated above, appear to be systemic safety related concerns and Honda should be mandated to implement a recall so that these issues are repaired by Honda free of charge.

Recently the readings on the gauge with my odometer, gas gauge, and oil life will flicker or glitch when the weather is cold. After about 15 minutes the gauge will go blank but will still have the backlight glow to it. It will continue to glitch if I turn the car off and on again quickly but if I let it sit for a while, the gauge is fine when I turn the car back on and until I start driving. I brought it to my dealership and they said this is a known problem with the Hond Fit and the replacement cost for the gauge would be $1000. I feel this is a safety risk because I cannot see my gas level or oil life left when it's off. And I'm not sure if it's affecting the odometer readings.

Instrument cluster display failing. Unable to get fuel gauge or miles off the vehicle. Without The fuel gauge hard to tell when running low on fuel

The dashboard display that shows fuel gauge, mileage, and maintenance minders glitches. Frequently some components of the numbers and gauges aren't visible, while other times the display is completely blank. An unreliable fuel gauge is a safety issue if fuel runs out and disrupts traffic/causes an accident. Unknown maintenance needs can cause several electrical and mechanical safety issues. This glitch has been occurring for 4-5 months but has gotten more frequent and more persistent in the last several weeks. I have an inspection scheduled with the dealership.

There's an electrical defect on the 2019 Honda Fit dashboard. The Electrical part of the dashboard that shows the Odometer, fuel level, speed and temp glitches, especially when cold. I bought my vehicle in March of 2022 form a Honda Dealership. It happened a few times towards the end of the 2022 when it became cold in Los Angeles. But as its been cold the first few months of this year, it has happened much more often. It glitches (see attached image.) and sometimes does not come on at all (see attached Photo) This is a safety hazard as I can not see how much fuel I have left in the vehicle. My car is just passed my 1 year dealership warranty. There are many forums online of others reporting the same thing, that priced the repair at $1100. I filed a complaint with Honda, but the costumer service with the repair department said there aren't other records with them- that this is an issue which is false as I have found 100s of owners online complaining online, asking about what to do about it.

I have a 2019 Honda Fit Sport. Within the last year, the instrument panel with all notifications regarding the vehicle, such as the fuel level, check engine light, low tire pressure light, low oil pressure, and any notifications regarding the braking systems, began flickering intermittantly. Now the instrument panel is completely blank. This has been confirmed by the Capital Honda in Lansing, Michigan when I took the vehicle in for service. This appears to be a common issue as I found numerous forums online that indicate that this is an issue with multiple years of the Honda Fit, but other Honda models as well. This is a safety issue because if any of these notifications should be on but cannot display because of a faulty instrument panel, I would never know. The car could run out of gas, the brakes could fail or the engine could fail and I would not know until it was too late.

The multi information display which includes the gas gauge, odometer, and repair reminders began having problems around September 2022. The display would blink on and off, sometimes go completely blank or sometimes show jumbled characters. When I first noticed this the weather was extremely hot. Later in the fall, when it began to get cold, it would not work normally until the temperature rose above 30 or so. I consider this a safety issue mainly because of the gas gauge not being visible. The solution by Honda was to replace it but because my car was just out of warranty, it was going to cost over $1100. The dealer confirmed that they had seen the problem before and asked Honda about paying for the repair. Honda only agreed to pay half of it.

There is an electrical problem with the electronic display used for the fuel gauge, odometer, and driving range indication. The safety concern is running out of gas while in a hazardous location on the road. I believe the problem has been around for at least two years. It only happens when the car is cold. The display is restored at some point after the car is warm. I have always assumed it was a loose connection that I would get charged a lot of money to fix. Some posts online indicate this problem does exist with others. One suggestion was even that it had to do with soldering and therefore would be an expensive repair to replace at least one part. If this is really a recognized problem, it would be nice if Honda would do a recall of whatever is faulty. For now I am just living with it and hoping it won't fail all together.

When the vehicle is cold (in the 4 years I have owned this car-bought new), this month is the first incidence this has occurred (Three times so far) The fuel gage, trip meter, odometer, clock and MPG display will show gibberish when the car is first started and then either keep the gibberish or then show nothing. When the car is warmed up, the gage operates as normal. The speedometer thankfully is not affected. Nor is the tachometer affected. While most of the gages being intermittently out is more of an annoyance, I'd REALLY like to know how much fuel I have, especially as the odometer/trip meter likewise die. I live in Louisiana. This problem would be a real concern in a more northern state. Everything I've read consistently stated that the problem was due to soldering developing cracks due to repeated expansion/contraction due to heat/cold. That in turn causes intermittent failure in cold weather.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Fit. The contact stated upon pressing the start button, the vehicle would take 5-10 seconds to start. The contact stated that the alarm would engage inadvertently. The contact also stated that the battery appeared to be physically damaged. Additionally, the contact stated that the TPMS warning light illuminated though none of the tires were deflated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that no issues were found. However, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 22,000.

Multiple warning lights come on and won't turn off. We have taken to be repaired twice at a non-Honda repair shop. No issues with any of the sensors could be found and everything was reset. We just picked up our car for the second incident on 10/28 and now on 10/31 it has happened for the third time. This seems very unsafe as I am not sure if the safety features will work properly of if it will have a major malfunction while driving and possibly cause an accident.

The display has stopped functioning in cold weather. The odometer, fuel level, and lights on dash fail to work during cold weather. This is a safety hazard and prevents the driver from being able to monitor fuel levels. This has been happening since 20k miles. A quick search online has shown that this is a common problem amongst Honda Fits and it should be a recall. I have even reached out to dealerships and they are also aware of the problem. Honda needs to take responsibility and see that this gets fixed.

10 August 2021 - Fuel pump fixed due to a recall. 19 October 2021 - digital gas/mileage went blank. Took my car to the dealership and they removed the fuel pump and put it back. Dealership said it was fixed. 21 October 2021 - digital/gas mileage issue again 22 October 2021- took it back to dealership. My car only has 19, 500 miles on it.

Fuel Gauge Cluster fails in weather sometimes outside of weather conditions and will glitch out causing an inability to see mileage and fuel amount.

LCD gauge cluster including odometer, fuel level, and hazard warnings will go haywire displaying strange characters. The lcd display then flashes on and off and goes out completely displaying no vehicle information.
