ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DIGITAL DISPLAY (MILEAGE, OIL LEVEL, FUEL GAUGE, ETC) FAILS WHEN TURNING VEHICLE ON DURING COLD WEATHER. IT REMAINS BACKLIT, BUT ALL TEXT DISAPPEARS. TYPICALLY, THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING ON EITHER HIGHWAY OR CITY STREETS. THIS MEANS AS A DRIVER I'M UNABLE TO SEE IF I NEED FUEL AMONG OTHER THINGS. WHEN THE DISPLAY RETURNS IT IS ILLEGIBLE. IT'S AS IF ALL TEXT IS TRYING TO DISPLAY ON THE SCREEN AT ONCE. THIS IS DISTRACTING, UNSTABLE, AND EXTREMELY UNSAFE. KNOWING FUEL LEVELS IS NOT NEGOTIABLE WHEN IT COMES TO OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE. I FEEL SO UNSAFE KNOWING I'M NOT ABLE TO VIEW CRUCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT MY VEHICLE. I SPOKE WITH A DEALERSHIP TODAY WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE ENTIRE DISPLAY IS LIKELY DEFECTIVE AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT BASED UPON THEIR OWN PRIOR EXPERIENCE. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR IN TO CONFIRM THIS AND HAVE THAT DONE.

THE HOOD OF MY CAR IS RUSTING FROM UNDER THE HOOD TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOOD. ALL OF THE RUST SPOTS ARE AT THE SPOT WELDS WHERE THE HOOD AND SUBHOOD ARE ATTACHED TO EACH OTHER. HONDA REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS AS A PROBLEM. NO CAR SHOULD RUST FROM THE INSIDE OUT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL TODAY (2/8/21) THAT SAYS THERE IS A RECALL ON MY HONDA FIT FOR THE DRIVE SHAFT IN SALT-BELT STATES. THE MANUFACTURER DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM YET - BUT SAID IN THE RECALL THAT THEY WOULD UPDATE THE RECALL BY 1/15/21. I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM HONDA. THEY HAVE NOT EVEN OFFERED TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE - WHICH IS CRAZY BECAUSE IF THE DRIVE SHAFT BREAKS I COULD CRASH AND BE KILLED. HONDA SHOULD OFFER ALL VEHICLE OWNERS A RENTAL CAR WHILE THEY ARE "PREPARING REPLACEMENT PARTS" SO WE ARE NOT DRIVING ON THE ROADS WITH A CAR THAT COULD KILL US OR OTHER PEOPLE. OR THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE REQUIRED TO INSPECT THE VEHICLES DRAFT SHAFTS TO SEE IF THE CORROSION HAS TAKEN PLACE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
LAST WEEK THE MILEAGE/GAS SCREEN ON MY HONDA FIT GLITCHED A COUPLE OF TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT THEN WENT BACK TO NORMAL. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK. AFTER ABOUT 10 SECONDS THE SCREEN CAME ON AN PERFORMED NORMALLY FOR THE REST OF THE DAY. TODAY, I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR AND THE SCREEN WAS BLANK, A FEW SECONDS LATER THE SCREEN DISPLAYED WHAT LOOKED LIKE EVERY LIGHT IT COULD AND THE SCREEN HAD ALL KINDS OF GIBBERISH ON IT. THE SCREEN THEN WENT BLANK AND CONTINUED TO DO THIS SWITCH BETWEEN GIBBERISH AND BLANK FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MINUTES . I NEEDED TO KNOW THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE BUT IT WILL NOT DISPLAY THE MILEAGE OR ANY OTHER READABLE INFORMATION. I CONTACT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP WHO ADVISED THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DETERMINE THE MILEAGE WITHOUT THAT SCREEN WORKING AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TELL ME IF MY CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY OR NOT IN ORDER TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE CAR IS BETWEEN 30,000 AND 40,000 MILES AND HAS NEVER HAD ANY DAMAGE OR BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISIONS. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE UNTIL LAST WEEK AND EVERY TIME I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM, THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS BELOW 45 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. UNKNOWN WHAT CREATED THIS UNSAFE CONDITION. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS SCREEN IS NOT WORKING, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, THE RPMS, THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE, AND HOW MANY MILES PER GALLON MY CAR IS USING. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ALSO NOT SHOWN. BECAUSE IT DOES NOT SHOW MY MY MILEAGE OR GAS GAUGE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WILL STILL TRIGGER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WHEN MY FUEL IS LOW. PLEASE HELP!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE GAUGE THAT SHOWS MILES, OIL LIFE, GAS GAUGE, AND ALL OTHER FUNCTIONS DOES NOT COME ON ALL THE TIME WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE. YOU CAN BE STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON ANY STREET OR HIGHWAY. IT SEEMS TO SHOW A BUNCH OF JAPANESE WRITINGS AT TIMES. THEN LO AND BEHOLD IT COMES BACK ON. IT WAS STATED THAT THE CLUSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH IS RIDICULOUS FOR A NEWER VEHICLE. YOU NEED TO MAKE IT RIGHT! THERE ARE MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS, SO YOUR SITE IS POSTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I DO NOT POSSES THE TECHNOLOGY TO TAKE A PHOTO AND UPLOAD. PLEASE RECALL OR MAKE GOOD ON YOUR CLUSTER REPLACEMENT. IT IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM THAT STARTED ABOUT 7 MONTHS AGO. MILEAGE CANNOT BE SEEN NOR OIL CHANGE, FUEL AMOUNT, OR ANY OTHER FUNCTION ON SCREEN WHEN IT IS OUT. IT HAD ABOUT 41,OOO OR SO WHEN IT STARTED. THE DEALER SAYS MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED.
