Consumer Description

Many other Honda Fit owners and I have had the same problem of the odometer and fuel gauge not displaying correctly. The soldering pins crack or come loose over time. This leads to failure to tell if you have enough gas in the car. This also leads to failure to show an accurate odometer reading. The odometer and fuel gauge display is digital and the screen often will glitch out and display a jumble of letters and numbers. Sometimes the odometer and fuel gauge display nothing at all. In these cases, you simply have to hope you have enough gas to get to where you need to go. This is a critical safety issue as someone could run out of gas in the middle of fast highway traffic without knowing. This is also an odometer issue because the odometer can sometimes show the wrong number for the total amount of miles driven on the car.
