Consumer Description

THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER ARE NOT VISIBLE DUE TO AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE SCREEN WILL GLITCH MAKING IT UNUSABLE AND DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS NOT CLEAR HOW MUCH FUEL IS REMAINING. DUE TO THE WAY THE CAR'S DISPLAYS ARE LAID OUT, THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO CALCULATE OUT MANY MILES HAVE BEEN DRIVEN. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR TO MAKE THIS ISSUE MORE THAN A DEFECTIVE PART INSTALLED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE USING THIS CAR. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH A 2015-20 HONDA FIT. THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE.
