NHTSA Complaint #11395588 — 2020 HONDA FIT

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.
