Consumer Description

The fuel gauge/mileage screen intermittently stops working, resulting in a blank blue screen, particularly in cold weather. This can be inspected upon request but the issue is intermittent. This can be distracting but also concerning if the driver does not know how much gas is left in the car. A Honda Dealership confirmed this problem, inspected the gauge cluster (combination meter assembly), and recommended a $1,210 replacement if it completely stopped working. Only the dealership has inspected the car. There were no warning lamps or messages before this issue appeared and there is no water damage to the contacts in the electrical system. The issue first appeared about a year before this inspection.
