Consumer Description
2018 HONDA FIT LX, 1,700 MILES. AFTER ABOUT A 10 MILE URBAN DRIVE IN AROUND 40F WEATHER, I STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE ODOMETER/GAS DISPLAY FLICKERED AND THE NUMBERS WERE SCRAMBLED. IT GLITCHED ONE MORE TIME, AND THEN DISAPPEARED AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE. THIS IS A COMMON SAFETY ISSUE FOR 2015+ AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. AS FAR AS MY RESEARCH I DID NOT FIND ANOTHER CASE OF THIS HAPPENING WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE, ONLY THAT IT IS MORE LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN COLD WEATHER. I ALSO READ THAT THE FUSE BOX IS PRONE TO FLOODING AND CAN AFFECT THIS ISSUE, AND IT DID OCCUR AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF ME DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR USED 3 DAYS AGO AND SO FAR HAVE NOT SEEN THE ISSUE REPEATED, BUT READ THAT IT GETS WORSE OVER TIME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY AND LEGAL ISSUE FOR ODOMETER NOT TO DISPLAY PROPERLY, AND GAS AMOUNT!
