Consumer Description

The Honda Fit odometer goes haywire when it is cold (it flashes gibberish or goes completely blank). It started off having issues only when it was in the 20s outside, but recently has been happening with temperatures as high as the mid 60s. The issue could be reproducible if the car is turned on when it is cold out (ie arriving somewhere and immediately turning it on is unlikely to reproduce the issue). It is unsafe not to know the remaining fuel in the car. The problem has not been confirmed by a dealership, but is very common based on online forums. The odometer has not been inspected. No symptoms of the problem were apparent prior to the first failure. It has been an issue since December 2019 but has recently gotten much worse.
