Consumer Description

THE FUEL AND MILEAGE GAUGE MOSTLY FAILS TO DISPLAY. IT MAKES ME FEEL UNSAFE WHEN I CANNOT SEE HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE WHILE DRIVING. THIS STARTED TO HAPPEN ON 12/18/2020 AT RANDOM TIMES WHENEVER THE CAR IS PARKED AND WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY EARLY IN THE DAY WHEN IT IS COLD. IT SOMETIMES RESOLVES TEMPORARILY OR NOT AT ALL WHEN THE PANEL RESET BUTTON IS PRESSED. WHENEVER THE CAR IS TAKEN TO THE HONDA SERVICE REPAIR, THE MILEAGE WOULD NOT APPEAR, WHICH WAS SEEMINGLY FIXED BY PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON. HOWEVER, THE ISSUE WOULD RETURN AFTER THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND ON AGAIN EVEN AFTER PRESSING THE RESET BUTTON THE FUEL AND MILEAGE WOULD NOT DISPLAY PROPERLY OR AT ALL.
