Consumer Description

ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE FUEL GAUGE VERY OFTEN GOES BLANK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. A DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN GAS TANK IS EMPTY, AND POSSIBLY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE SAME GAUGE SHOWS PROMPTS WHEN MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT VISUAL REFERENCE TO THESE PROMPTS, AGAIN A DIRE SITUATION COULD OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DAILY, FROM THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY , SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. HONDA WANTS OVER $1000, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.
