It would be great for Honda to honor customers with 2015 + FITs and replace the unit but they have closed that door repeatedly. Time for a class action. I'm in. Who else?

 

I think I’m stuck paying for diagnostics but Honda will not cover it, I guarantee. I’m in, how can I help?

 

Completely agree with the class action. I'm in!

 

I have a 2016 HRV and am having this issue. First gen - guess they moved the Fit tech over. Did anyone ever find a good solution?

 

Also having this problem with a 2016 FIT. Anyone make any headway with Honda?

 

Hi again,
The pandemic hitting put all this on hold for me, and I suppose for many legal avenues, etc. I think we should still pursue something together. We need to find an attorney. For sure, in my case, Honda did nothing but say I was out of warranty. End of story for them. I was going to actually file a small claims action but then the courts closed. So now it's August and things are, I'm presuming, pretty backed up. But if we can organize somehow, I'm totally in. Thank you!

 

Pretty certain it will need to be a class-action lawsuit.

 

Hi there,

Just joined this forum because I am having the same issue with my 2015 Fit. The odometer and fuel gauge come and go. Interestingly, after I fill with gas it usually displays. My mechanic said he had never seen it before, and I hate going to the dealership. For now I am just filling up the gas tank before any particularly long trips.

 

I have the same issue with my 2015 Honda Fit LX with 75,000 miles. I noticed it starts looking jumbled or goes out more frequently in the cold, too, but now it's starting to malfunction even in the heat of summer. I asked about it at the dealership today, and they said it would be $900 to replace the gauge cluster, which seems comparable to what everyone else is experiencing. I held off replacing it for now as it usually starts working after a few minutes. Ugh.

 

My 2019 LX in the US has the same R-hand odo/mpg screen as the 2015 (mine does not look like that picture). They did upgrade the sending unit (the internals and connection due to issues with the 2015-6 R-hand LCD fitzingout. I think the part numbers changed sometime in 2017-8 to indicate a part change (looks the same).

 

hi, guys.
recently i bought used Honda fit 2015 (55k miles) and one morning I saw this.
I find some info about this problem here and decided that i'm not ready spend 200$ on new gauge cluster.
So i finded out how to remove it from car and gave it to my friend who works at cellphone service and has professional soldering machine.
he disassembled gauges, removed the chip and put it back.

Now i am happy owner of working gauges on FIT))

 

I have the same problem. I’ve spoken to mechanics who’s say this is a known issue with these 2015 fits. Apparently many of them have been failing in the same way. There needs to be a recall or a class action because to replace the part costs around $850 and it’s a faulty part! I haven’t fixed mine yet. It goes out for a few minutes about every morning or with weather changes.

A few months ago, my fuel gauge display started going out...intermittently. Pretty much always at least once a trip. Sometimes it starts when I turn the car on, sometimes it's after I've driven 20 miles. The display stays backlit, but all the information (time, fuel gauge, odometer, temp) disappears.

Usually it will stay like that for a good while and then a bunch of gibberish suddenly pops on, as if everything possible was being displayed at once. Sometimes it will go back to showing nothing, sometimes it will go to a good display. Doesn't seem like it's related to temp - happens now in cool or warmish weather.

I was just wondering if anyone else had seen this.

I found another guy on the Internet a couple years ago that had the exact same issue, and the dealership told him it was a bad display (as opposed to a loose wire) and it'd have to be replaced. If so, I'm wondering how much effort it is to tear open the dash and do it myself. Kind of disappointed. This is my third Fit and the first two also had various electrical problems, though nothing I couldn't ignore. Really hard to ignore the lack of a fuel gauge.[/QUOTE]

report any failure to the recall.gov website. When enough people report the same issue- your government works with Honda on creating a fix. Use words like I don’t trust the car when the fuel gauge stops working or I was stranded due to the ...

 

You have to resolder the connector for the fuel display

it's pretty simple to do you just resoder the fuel display

 

Also struggling with this issue. 2015 Honda Fit EX-L. I did not notice a temperature-related issue (located in Riverside, CA). Mine is sporadic and glitchy and seems to be an issue with the wiring, though I'm unsure.

I'm also interested in joining a class-action lawsuit. If anyone is organizing it, I made an excel sheet HERE to assist (though I am uninterested in spearheading the class-action lawsuit). Anyone interested, fill out the form w/ relevant information.

 

So the part *finally* malfunctioned at the Dealership while I was getting an oil change.
They told me they'd have to replace the entire guage cluster, $900 for the part and $300 for labor.

I submitted a report to the recall website, a few months ago. I know nothing of cars, so I don't know if this is something I can entrust in someone else or if I should actually go thru the dealership and suck up the $1200 bill.
Any one have any other resolutions, or if changing the cluster helped?

 

why do you want to get it fixed ?

 

Mine started going out just like all the other ones described here. Only happens when it's cold. Is there a recall?

 

Awesome travis!!!...so for sure it really, really fixes the problem?

 

It's not uncommon for electronic displays to fail like this when lead-free solder experiences heat cycling many times and ultimately develops cracks, causing intermittent connection. The fix is generally just to "re-flow" the solder, meaning to simply hold a soldering iron against each pin so that the solder becomes liquid again, re-establishing a good connection, then re-solidifies. If you want to make the joints more durable for the long haul, you could also get a solder wick and remove the lead-free solder and add leaded-solder (just don't breath deeply while soldering that stuff).
