2015 HONDA FIT Electrical System Problems

The fuel gauge and mileage display became inoperable. Fuel level could not be determined.

The information display that shows fuel level, odometer, oil life, and trip is it displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see the available fuel amount. The problem is intermittent and getting worse. This issue is happening with many, many, many owners.

The fuel gauge in the gauge cluster turns on and off unexpectedly and without reason for extended periods of time. The gauge will also do what I like to call hieroglyphic numbers, essentially unreadable lettering clearly due to an electrical malfunction. This is very distracting as a driver and has put me in a very near death experience from the fault. This problem makes it impossible to read the fuel quantity during or before operation of the vehicle. It has been confirmed by dealer that the fault is due to a damaged solder and has been clear that this is a common issue with most Honda fits.

Instrument cluster is failing. Requires replacement.

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.

My Honda Fit was purchased new in Portland, Oregon. I am the original owner. I began having issues that are documented after moving to Florida, and took the car to Honda in Palm Bay. The issues were grinding noise at the first start of the day, or after sitting for several hours and then restarted. The noise is noticed upon start in am or 1st start and is a grinding noise from the motor area. It sounds like a knock/grinding, like the motor is starting and has no oil in it. But the oil level is okay and it is not out of oil. This continues today, after being at the same dealer several times. The service department stated that they needed me to leave the car overnight to try to diagnose the issue after the car sat all night because the noise only comes after sitting all night or long periods. I left the car more than once at the dealership. The dealer in Palm Bay stated "they were unable to re-produce the knocking/grinding that has been occurring since about 11,000 miles. The car is still grinding or knocking and after taking to another dealer in Tampa, Fl I was told it was a DTC and they refused to fix it. It is now just over mileage under warranty, and was there for the grinding and a recall for the start stop switch which is now faulty again, or that wasn't the issue leaving me stranded. The car has several issues that are recall related that were supposed to be fixed and are nor. The plug coil tops The start stop run switch to start car- was replaced in 7/2022 and now I cant drive the car again.

Engine Control Module failed, all warning lights come on, gauges turn off. Engine Control Module failure can cause the car to function erratically and even stall while driving.

The multi-information display" (MID) which indicates information like the odometer, trip meter, outside temperature, fuel economy, and warning messages goes blank or presents as gibberish. It may only "come to life" randomly.

UNKNOWN- Vehicle gas gauge cuts off all of a sudden and takes a while to come back on.

recall notice for starter system, took in for repair, part in notice replaced but car now not starting again and had starter system lights on again. As per service records car has has the problems since 2016/17 while under warranty and recall repair done at Honda. The “ grinding” knock/tap noise from engine has never been repaired and until 7/2023 Honda was “ unable to diagnose” it. Westshore Honda- Tampa diagnosed it as “ VTC” ( which is inside the motor) and other folks have had the well documented problem The no start is seemingly with the electrical system, per Honda service records and switch replaced when in for recall repair in 7/23 as well but car again having same problem. I’m unable to drive car.

Digital odometer randomly glitches out and sometimes completely blanks out. I am not able to view my fuel gauge at all nor see mileage. There are no other electrical problems as I just had my battery checked so I don’t know the cause of this as it doesn’t always happen while driving. This has happened randomly several months ago and started up again.

The cluster information display on the dashboard that shows fuel level, odometer, oil life, and trip mileage blinks and flashes and sometimes disappears completely, leaving only a blue screen. When it blinks parts of the characters disappear and it is not possible to read any of the information. The problem is intermittent but getting worse.

Fuel gauge/trip meter intermittently inoperative (blank or shows gibberish). When the fuel gauge and trip meter are inoperative, it’s not possible to determine the level of fuel in the tank. In this condition, the vehicle could run out of fuel without warning, causing an engine stall condition. If the engine stalls while the vehicle is being operated on a public highway, this condition increases the likelihood of a collision resulting in injury or death.

Digital fuel gage and odometer flickers intermittently or displays incorrect information

Main display that shows mileage, gas levels, maintenance needs, etc malfunctions - sometimes it goes wonky, sometimes it disappears altogether. It is obviously not safe to not see your maintenance lights or mileage to know when to predict the maintenance. The dealer I take the car to said unless they could replicate the issue, they couldn't do anything. The issue occurs intermittently, often in the middle of a drive, but not currently constant. There are many many other people tho on Honda forums who have this problem also, and theirs is constant, so it's just a matter of time for mine to be constant as well. The issue started earlier this year. There is no error code associated with it so there is no diagnosis for the dealer to give it.

Before I parked, all was fine and the car felt safe, two hours later, I start the car and it has four warning lights on. Now I don't have Hill Start Assist and the car feels like it might 'go out' on me, I think something will keep it from running soon. About two weeks prior, even with keys in the car and with a full battery in both the keys and car, the car doesn't start with the first push of the 'engine start' button (maybe there is a connection here). O'Reilly helped me check the codes, and it states that I should replace the Ignition Coil, as well as the Throttle Body and it is giving the code, P0303: Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected. After some research online, it seems like the Fuel Injectors might need to be replaced as the ones that come with Honda tend to malfunction. Perhaps the TSBs (www.truedelta.com/Honda-Fit-tsbs-99,2015) should be put into consideration. I believe this is what has caused the Hill Start Assist to stop working which further makes me feel like the vehicle is unsafe to drive for me and for others. We are both put at risk because I am not sure what will happen with it next. I live where there are a lot of hills, Hill Start Assist was a huge factor as to why I thought this car would be safe to drive here. I have yet to visit a Dealer or Independent Service Center. The Vehicle has been inspected by O'Reilly's Code Scanner only and myself. In the attached pictures, one is showing the warning lights that now come on at the start of the car, and the other is showing about a minute later how another light turns on.

my fuel gauge display went out. 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.

The fuel guage/mileage/mpg display flickers on and off intermittently. Sometimes it displays properly, sometimes it displays gibberish and sometimes nothing at all. There really is no correlations to be made as to why it is doing this, it can happen any day at any time or not at all. 2015 Honda Fit

In cold temperatures the LCD screen in the vehicle’s gauge cluster will report corrupted information or display none at all. This is the only method of viewing the vehicles odometer. Therefore, it is impossible to tell the vehicle’s mileage under certain (cold) conditions. This issue is caused by cracking solder points on a logic board and is a well-known fault of this generation of vehicle, meaning there are a wide array of 3rd generation Honda Fits that fail to properly report their proper Odometer mileage.

Driving down the highway yesterday at 75 mph. Car said check starter system. Started blinking. All dash lights and system turned off then on then off again. Power steering went off. Car died while going 75 mph. Abs system went down with it too. Had to hard steer and shift down. Parked on side of highway on shoulder. Towed to mechanic who said it's the alternator. Fit has about 125000 miles on it. The start switch was replaced 3 times recall then faulty by Honda dealership. Then the starter needed to be replaced by Honda dealership. Then the battery twice by O'Reilly. Now the alternator by my mechanic. This is not usual for Hondas to have to replace all of those. Seems as though this is a faulty starter system manufacturing. I could've died, had I not been trained by the military on what to do if vehicle lost power.

The information dash which shows fuel reading, odometer, oil life, and trip is not displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see the available fuel amount. The problem is intermittent but getting worse.

The instrument cluster is failing on my vehicle which causes the digital display that shows mileage and gas levels start off blank then as the vehicle warms it starts flickering and causes visibility issues as that is very distracting and could cause seizures to those sensitive to flickering. This also prevents drivers from knowing gas levels which causes drivers to be stranded on the side of the road or have the vehicle just turn off while driving due to no gas. The vehicle is available for inspection and I have videos of the issues as does many others having the same issue. I have videos of the issue but they are not allowing me to upload maybe due to file type. The flickering can cause seizures as well as being distracting which could cause accidents. Not having any way to determine gas level or mileage also is a safety issue as there is no way to know how much fuel is in the vehicle which could cause drivers to be stranded or vehicle to quit working while driving. I have taken my vehicle in to Norm Reeves Honda and Honda of Denton for this issue numerous times and provided them videos of the issues but they stated they couldn’t reproduce it until the extended warranty went out and now the finally are able to reproduce it and confirm it needs replaced. It has been inspected the the Honda dealerships There was no warning it just started happening out of the blue about 3 or 4 years ago. The first time it happened I went to back out and a start system error came up and the car turned off and lost all power. I almost crashed into my carport as I could not even steer. I haven’t had that happen again but the display issues continue to happen.

My cluster have been working rarely lately only when is cold outside it will not display the numbers or my gas level, which is awkward because I can run out of gas and not know.

While driving the odometer and gas gauge intermittently shut off or glitches to be unreadable. This happened approximately 5 times during a 5 mile trip. It eventually returned to normal.

The display on the instrument panel that shows the fuel status, odometer, maintenance warnings/issues (such as low tire pressure) goes out, often for extended periods (ie: 15-20 minutes at a time). This occurs more so during colder months. I have contacted the local Honda dealer (Priority Honda in Hampton, Virginia) this morning and was told the price to replace the part would be $996.00 + labor. If you google complaints about this issue, there are many. I believe this is a safety issue, and this vehicle should be recalled. Photo of issue attached.

The information dash which shows fuel reading, odometer, oil life, trip is not displaying correctly. The characters are scrambling and unable to see available fuel amount.

GAUGE CLUSTER DOESN'T WORK MOST OF THE TIME. WHEN IT DOES COME ON EVERYTHING IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CAN NOT READ IT. I FEEL THAT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE YOU CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE MAINTENANCE DUE AND YOUR SPEEDOMETER DOESN'T SHOW THE SPEED YOU ARE GOING. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, I RECEIVED A $300 SPEEDING TICKET. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A HONDA REPAIR SHOP AND THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE GAUGE CLUSTER $1300 AND THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. I FILED A CLAIM WITH HONDA AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS AND THEY WERE NOT AWARE THAT THERE WERE ANY ISSUES WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER MALFUNCTION. I HAVE READ SO MANY COMPLAINTS WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM.

The right instrument cluster randomly goes blank or shows jibberish instead of the intended information. It includes the odometer and gas guage. You are at risk of running out of gas while on extended trips, without the odometer, you can not even calculate approximate mileage until empty to try to stay ahead of it.

MISC - SPEEDOMETER/GUAGE CLUSTER FAILED. SPEEDOMETER READ 70 MPH AND WAS PULLED OVER AND CLOCKED AT 99 MPH. THE GUAGE THAT TELLS FUEL AMOUNT, MILEAGE, AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION DOESN'T READ AND IS SCRAMBLED SO YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE OR WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS TO BE DONE. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY HONDA DEALERSHIP AND CONFIRMED THAT IT WAS A FAULTY GUAGE CLUSTER. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT PUT IN A NEW CLUSTER AT THE COST OF $1180.50. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS TO LET ME KNOW THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NOT ACCURATE UNTIL I WAS PULLED OVER. THE GUAGE THAT SHOWS FUEL, ECT. HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR CLOSE TO A YEAR AND I HAVE DEALT WITH IT AND TALKED TO HONDA SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION FROM THEM. WHEN THE SPEEDOMETER FAILED 5/29/2022 AND WAS OFF THAT MUCH, I DEFINITELY FELT THAT IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION TO BE PUT IN.

I purchased car, 2/2015 in Oregon, and began having issues once in Florida, at approx 10,000 miles. I took car to a Honda dealership. I needed service- oil change etc, however, the car was missing, as in the motor/ or emissions. The cold ambient temp light always came on, in Fl, but im not aware of issues it caused. Soon the car began having multiple things happening and I took the car into the same dealership( always) to have it inspected, as the Fit is still practically new. I notated to service manager the car would seem to miss especially when pulling away from a stopped position. I also informed the manager there is a noise at 1st start of day or after sitting multiple hours. They took car for drive and returned to say they were unable to “reproduce” the complaint/noise. I explained it normally is after the car has sat overnight, or at least 8 or more hours. I told the service manager, it sounds like a rod knocking, or the engine is out of oil, like a grinding noise. He suggested it stay overnight, so he could test it the following morning and did. Later the next day, he called to have me pick up my car, and was “ unable to reproduce.” I’ve taken the car in to Honda several times, never getting problems answered. The last few times in to Honda is for the not starting issue. It seems electrical. It started under warranty, like the rest, when the Fit would not start after going someplace. My partner was left stranded at Walmart one time, i have been dealing with this and took in, the last time was in 2020, and the female service person kept my car a couple days. The dash light showing most times saying the key and charging system problem. However, she initially said “ couldn’t duplicate.” Finally called to say they found problem, and it is alternator which they had already done. By now my car was just over the warranty miles, and she grabbed me a price of $1000 or so, and ultimately i paid about $130. Im jumping my car now everday.

The dashboard that displays the odometer and mileage will glitch out and sometimes completely cut out. It happens more in the cold and has been on and off but getting worse for a few years. The horn will also beep upon starting the car up. My repair shop says the circuit board would need to be replaced and that would be well over $1000. Most of the issues I have had with this car have been recalled so I am hoping this is as well.

Hi, My Honda Fit digital gauge that shows odometer and more importantly fuel gauge does not work 75% of time. On Fit sites this is a common problem. Honda says happens to most Fits. Costs $1500 to possibly fix. [XXX] Thanks [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

This has happened to me a few times and I thought I was alone in suffering this defect with my Honda Fit. My fuel gauge/odometer/trip indicator goes haywire. It is either blankly blue or half there. The other morning it resembled a kaleidoscope as the screen kept cycling through. When I called Honda to schedule service, they were accepting of my description., which indicates to me that this is a know problem. I just now Googled the issue and found a number of Fit owners who are experiencing the same anomaly. They should fix it.

The electrical display on my dashboard becomes unreadable during cold temperatures. The display flashes and no characters can be read. This makes it difficult to drive safely as it is very distracting. It is also difficult to plan out my trips considering the fuel gage is on the display. This problem only occurs in cold weather which leads me to believe it might have something to do with the connections not being secured properly. No warning lights or other symptoms were present before the problem began.

The contact owns a 2015 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the instrument cluster warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact about the start system error regarding the engine START/STOP feature. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the switch assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The contact mentioned receiving a product advisory for the keyless start. The manufacturer was notified of the failure however, no further assistance was provided. The approximate failure mileage was 109,000.

2015 Honda Fit Fuel Gauge Display Failure

On 11/3/21, I turned my car on in the early morning; it was around freezing temps. The instrument panel/screen that shows odometer, gas mileage and fuel gauge was blank. My first thought was to "restart" the car and perhaps that would restart the guage. I turned the car completely off, even removing my key out of the ignition. I waited approximately 10 seconds, then turned the car back on. The screen was again blank. I continued to let the car run and after approximately 45-60 seconds, the guage finally appeared correctly. This morning on 12/1/21 as I was preparing to leave my home for work, my screen again was blank. I let the car run and after one minute it began to flicker with garbled letters and numbers. After another 30 seconds, the correct screen finally showed. On this day the morning temperature was between 58-61 degrees so it was not on a freezing cold start as the first instance. I'm concerned that this second instance took longer to correct, especially given it was in a much warmer temperature. In both instances, there was no prior warning, message, indicator light or other symptom that this problem would occur. There has been no common factor to alert me or prepare me. This system is available for inspection upon request. Upon a general search online, I have found MANY reports of similar instances in Honda Fit users in the recent months. I have not yet taken it to a repair shop or had it inspected, but I will as soon as possible. It is unsafe to not know how much gas is in the vehicle, coupled with not having the odometer to even manually gauge or estimate should I become stranded and need to estimate how much distance I can drive to a safer location. Now my additional concern is, could this happen while I'm driving the car and become stranded on a highway or less trafficked road.

In mid 2019 my Honda had a little rear end problem. Took it to a frame shop and was told my REAR AXLE BEAM ASSEMBLY was bent 3° which was causing front end alignment problems. When they used there machines and whatever else they tried was told there machinery couldn't make it budge.(front end alignment at least 2 times a month) Then in 2020 I went to start my car and nothing!! Kept trying and trying and finally it started. Continued to what I thought was my car just having a mind of its own to continuously not wanting to start so I checked my battery which was fine. I took the car to a Honda Dealership and was told I needed a new battery. Ok fine whatever then after the new battery was hooked up and they went to start it nothing!! Hours later here I am buying a starter (fixed the problem till about mid 2021). Oh yeah forgot STILL HAVE A BENT REAR AXLE) !! CHECK CHARGING SYSTEM has been popping up every time my car decides to start. Gotten to the point where the only way it'll start is if it's jumped. Battery is fine but the alternator isn't pushing out anything whatsoever!!! Because it's constantly being jumped my negative battery terminal SENSOR is going out. Every where I've called or taken the car to either says "nothing we can do" or they want to charge thousands of dollars or " oh ma'am your car is a discontinued model!" I have two little kids and this HONDA FIT is just not safe for myself, kids, or anyone else! Oh almost forgot ABS light along with the keyless entry plus contraction control and steering stabilizer lights are lit up like a Christmas Tree on the dash.

My 2015 Honda Fit out of nowhere won't start and is flashing an electrical system issue. A few weeks before this the electrical system stopped showing how much gas was in the car, how many miles etc. That whole electrical system looked really garbled then goes dark. My car wont start. And even after I fix it I cant drive around not knowing how much gas is in the car.

Instrument cluster works intermittently. Fuel gauge, oil change, ect...this guage stops working especially during the cold. Been having this problem for a could years. Noticed a lot of others have the same issues.

Digital odometer keeps faulting out. Numbers either corrupted, or gauge not visible. Happens regularly. Loss of fuel gauge, odometer, or any service codes.

MILEAGE/GAS DISPLAY GOES BLANK, THEN FLASHES SOME GIBBERISH INTERMITTENTLY. THIS ISSUE STARTED AFTER I HAD A NEW HONDA BATTERY INSTALLED A FEW MONTHS AGO. HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, BUT CONTINUED WHILE PARKED. COMPUTER SEEEMS TO KEEP ACCURATE RECORDS ONCE DISPLAY RETURNS. STAYED ON AFTER CAR WAS WARM. NOT SURE IF IT’S RELATED, BUT THE USB AND BLUETOOTH HAVE ALSO BEEN INTERMITTENT FOR SEVERAL YEARS.

ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE FUEL GAUGE VERY OFTEN GOES BLANK FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. A DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN GAS TANK IS EMPTY, AND POSSIBLY LEAVING DRIVER STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. ALSO, THE SAME GAUGE SHOWS PROMPTS WHEN MAINTENANCE IS NEEDED ON THE VEHICLE. WITHOUT VISUAL REFERENCE TO THESE PROMPTS, AGAIN A DIRE SITUATION COULD OCCUR IF NOT TAKEN CARE OF IMMEDIATELY. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN DAILY, FROM THE FIRST TIME VEHICLE IS STARTED IN THE MORNING AND THROUGHOUT THE DAY , SEVERAL TIMES A DAY, FOR AT LEAST A YEAR. HONDA WANTS OVER $1000, TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. PHOTOS ATTACHED.

THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY GOES OUT ON MY 2015 HONDA FIT, ESPECIALLY ON COLD MORNINGS (I LIVE IN MINNESOTA). IT STARTED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, AND HAS BEEN AN INCONVENIENCE, BUT I NOW HAVE A COURIER JOB THAT REQUIRES PHOTOS OF MY ODOMETER EVERY DAY. IF THIS GOES OUT WHILE WORKING, IT WILL BE MUCH MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE. I ALSO FEEL LIKE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH GAS IS LEFT IN THE TANK. I'M HOPING ENOUGH PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM REPORT THE ISSUE, AND HOPEFULLY A RECALL OR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CAN HAPPEN. THANK YOU!

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN SHOWING NOTHING OR GIBBERISH. NO ODOMETER, NO CLOCK, NO FUEL GAUGE, NO TIME DISPLAY, NO TEMP DISPLAY. ONCE THE CAR WARMS UP, IT USUALLY RETURNS TO NORMAL.

THE GAUGE DISPLAY THAT SHOWS MILEAGE, FUEL INDICATOR, OIL LEVEL, TEMPERATURE READING AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT IS NEEDED TO MAINTAIN YOUR VEHICLE IN GOOD CONDITION MAY COME ON SOMETIMES. IF IT DOES COME ON, IT IS SO SCRAMBLED THAT YOU CANNOT READ IT AND THEN GOES BLANK. I AM VERY INSECURE DRIVING THE CAR AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE OR THE MILEAGE READING TO KNOW WHEN MAINTENANCE NEEDS BE DONE. I CONTACTED HONDA CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WERE NOR AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND I WOULD NEED TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF MYSELF. I HAVE READ ON MANY SITES WHERE SEVERAL OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. ALSO WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF I AM MOVING OR SITTING STILL. PLEASE, IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM, CONTACT HONDA DIRECT. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE MAKE HONDA AWARE OF THE PROBLEM SOMETHING MAY BE DONE ABOUT IT.

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BATTERIES EVERY SINGLE YEAR SINCE PURCHASE IN 2015. VEHICLE WILL FUNCTION FINE THEN STRUGGLE TO START OUT OF NOWHERE. DESPITE TAKING STEPS TO AVOID UNNECESSARY POWER DRAINING AND TRYING DIFFERENT BRANDS OF BATTERIES (WHICH IS A SMALL SELECTION) EVERY YEAR AROUND OCTOBER/NOVEMBER IT STARTS TO FAIL. THE CAR CAN BE JUMPSTARTED WITHOUT TOO MUCH ISSUE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, BUT PORTABLE JUMPSTARTING SYSTEMS STRUGGLE TO GET IT GOING. ISSUES WILL START WITHOUT MUCH CORRELATION OF HOW MUCH THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION PRIOR. CAR COULD'VE BEEN STATIONARY/TURNED OFF FOR 30 MINS OR A DAY WITH THE SAME RESULTS.

THE GAS AND SPEEDOMETER GAUGE WENT BLANK, THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH GAS YOU HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK, YOU CANNOT TRACK DOWN YOUR OIL SERVICE MAINTENANCE, YOU CANNOT TRACK YOUR MILAGE USE. THIS IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE, I DON'T TRUST THE CAR, I CAN BE LEFT STRANDED ANYTIME AND I AM DOING THE MAINTENANCE BLINDLY.

2 HUGE ISSUES WHEN I BOUGHT MY CAR. I BOUGHT IT USED WITH 45K MILES ON IT AND BY 60,000 MILES I NEEDED THE ENTIRE FUEL RAIL REPLACED DUE TO LURCHING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ROADS. HONDA PAID FOR IT AFTER A LENGTHY ARGUMENT BETWEEN DEALERSHIPS. NOW, A YEAR LATER, I AM CONTINUALLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE NO-IGNITION KEYS. WHEN I FIRST GOT THE CAR, IT TOLD ME "LOW KEY BATTERY", "NO KEY" OR JUST WOULDNT REGISTER THEM. I REPLACED BOTH THE CAR BATTERY AND THE KEY BATTERIES. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE PCM MODULE. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT AND LESS THAN A .MONTH LATER THE SAME PROBLEM WAS HAPPENING. NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME IT MAY JUST BE THE BATTERIES IN THE KEYS. TODAY I COULD NOT START MY CAR. EVEN WITH THE KEY IN THE CAR, AND EVEN PUSHING IT RIGHT UP TO THE IGNITION BUTTON WHICH USUALLY WORKS.

THE DISPLAY THAT SHOWS FUEL GAUGE, MILEAGE, TEMPERATURE, ODOMETER AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION MAY COME ON FOR AWHILE AND THEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK. IF IT DOES COME ON THE INFORMATION ON THE SCREEN IS SO SCRAMBLED AND THEN THE SCREEN GOES BLANK AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IN MOTION OR STOPPED. I FEEL VERY INSECURE NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL I HAVE IN THE CAR OR MY MILEAGE THAT I DEPEND ON FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES. I HAVE DID SOME RESEARCH ON MY ISSUE AND HAVE FOUND MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE DIGITAL DISPLAY THAT CONTAINS INFORMATION ON MILEAGE AND FUEL LEVELS FREQUENTLY MALFUNCTIONS, EITHER GOING COMPLETELY BLANK OR RAPIDLY FLASHING RANDOM CHARACTERS (LETTERS AND NUMBERS). THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER WEATHER BUT FOR MY VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN HAPPENING IN WARMER (UP TO 75 DEGREES F). ISSUE HAPPENS WHILE PARKED OR IN MOTION- ANY TIME CAR IS ON. A QUICK SEARCH OF VEHICLE OWNER FORUMS ONLINE RETURNS MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPTS TO REMEDY THIS DESPITE IT BEING A KNOWN ISSUE. NOT BEING ABLE TO CHECK THE FUEL GAUGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE FLASHING IS ALSO EXTREMELY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MY VEHICLE FOR YEARS AND I FINALLY TOOK IT TO GET FIXED AT HONDA NOW. THEY CHARGE $179 JUST TO 'DIAGNOSE' THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD BE AWARE OF IT.

2015 HONDA FIT (WITH APPROX. 24K MILES). BATTERY WILL LOSE CHARGE AFTER CAR IS NOT USED / SITS FOR THREE (3) TO FOUR (4) DAYS WITH ALL LIGHTS / RADIO / ACCESSORIES TURNED OFF. BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED THREE TIMES, MOST RECENTLY AUGUST 2020. REPLACEMENT BATTERY IS PROPERLY SIZED FOR THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE IS CAUSING A PARASITIC DRAIN ON THE BATTERY. DEALER REPS HAVE STATED THIS IS A WELL-RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITH THE FIT MODEL. RECOMMENDATION IS THAT THE CAR BE DRIVEN AT LEAST 10 TO 15 MILES EVERY DAY OR 2ND DAY. THE RECOMMENDATION DRIVE THE VEHICLE EVERY DAY / 2ND DAY IS NOT ONLY EXPENSIVE IN TERMS OF GAS COSTS BUT ALSO NEEDLESSLY CONTRIBUTES TO POLLUTION AND (PERHAPS BY DESIGN) EARLY VEHICLE OBSOLESCENCE. THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT IS MOST LIKELY CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE ELECTRICAL LOAD DETECTOR (ELD) UNIT IN THE FUSE/RELAY BOX. THIS ELD READS THE AMPERAGE LOAD DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY AND SENDS A VARIED VOLTAGE SIGNAL TO THE PCM WHICH REGULATES THE SIGNAL TO THE ALTERNATOR. THE ELD IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE PCM. THE PCM IS CONNECTED TO THE ALTERNATOR, NOT THE ELD. THE ELD MONITORS THE AMPERAGE REQUIREMENTS AND INFORMS THE PCM AS TO WHAT TO DO. THE ELD WILL VARY THE OUTPUT BETWEEN .1 TO 4.8 VOLTS TO THE ECU. THIS REFERENCE VOLTAGE IS WHAT TELLS THE ECU TO INCREASE OR DECREASE THE FIELD STRENGTH IN THE ALTERNATOR. AS THE CURRENT IS RAMPED UP OR DOWN THE ELD RATCHETS THE OUTPUT VOLTAGE TO THE PCM TO COMPENSATE FOR THE LOAD. I WAS TOLD THAT A HONDA BULLETIN STATED: SYMPTOM: THE CAR WILL NOT START AFTER SITTING FOR A WEEK. PROBABLE CAUSE: THE ELD IS FAULTY OR HAS A FAULTY SOLDER JOINT. SOLUTION: - REPLACE THE UNDER HOOD FUSE/RELAY BOX. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. HONDA MOTORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO RECALL THESE CARS TO FIX THE ELD / PCM PARTS / ALTERNATOR COMPUTER PROGRAM AND UP SIZE THE BATTERIES TO HANDLE THE PARASITIC DRAW.

THE GAUGE CLUSTER THAT INCLUDES THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENTLY GO BLANK OR GLITCH WHEN THE WEATHER STARTS TO GET COLDER. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU TURN ON THE CAR LATELY, HOWEVER. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THE GAUGE CLUSTER IS DEGRADING FASTER NOW.

Mileage: 44,556

THE CAR IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE DIFFICULT TO START WITH ABOUT 15 TRIES. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED FOR THE STARTER AND IT TESTED FINE. ALSO THE ALTERNATOR, BATTER AND FOB BATTERY CHECKED OUT FINE

THE INTEGRATED ODOMETER+FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY ON THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILS INTERMITTENTLY BUT REGULARLY. DISPLAY FAILURE HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY MANY TIMES DURING SEVERAL YEARS OF CAR OWNERSHIP. FREQUENCY AND DURATION OF DISPLAY FAILURE HAS INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITHIN LAST 6 MONTHS RESULTING IN INCREASED SAFETY HAZARD SINCE DRIVER IS BLINDED TO VEHICLE FUEL STATUS AND/OR DISTANCE DRIVEN WHEN DISPLAY FAILS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY AS SHOWN IN THE ATTACHED PHOTOS, AND SOMETIMES THE FAILURE LASTS FOR MANY MILES OR MULTIPLE DAYS BEFORE IT SELF-CORRECTS UNTIL THE NEXT FAILURE OCCURS. DISPLAY FAILURE OCCURS SPORADICALLY REGARDLESS OF VEHICLE BEING STATIONARY OR IN MOTION, BUT HAPPENS MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY (ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY) DURING COLD WEATHER WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 50 DEGREES.

Mileage: 40,000

DIGITAL GAS GAUGE INCLUDES ODOMETER. LAST WINTER, AT ABOUT 32 DEGREES OR COLDER, GAUGE OFTEN EITHER DID NOT WORK (WENT BLANK) OR SCRAMBLED ITS INFO, WHICH WAS THEN UNREADABLE. NOW, THE GAUGE HAS BEGUN MALFUNCTIONING IN JULY. I FEAR RUNNING OUT OF GAS OR MISSING MAINTENANCE DUE TO UNRELIABLE ODOMETER READING. BOTH SITUATIONS COULD LEAVE ME STRANDED AT THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER CAR IS MOVING OR NOT.

MY 2015 HONDA FIT LX WITH ONLY 22,000 MILES HAS 4 SYSTEM LIGHTS ALL CAME ON AT ONCE ' TPMS, CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS), VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST (VSA). THE MECHANIC RECOMMENDED THAT ALL 4 FUEL INJECTORS ALONG WITH FUEL PIPES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AFTER RULING OUT IGNITION COILS AND SPARK PLUGS AS POTENTIAL ISSUES. HE STATED THAT THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH DIRECT FUEL INJECTORS WITH HONDA OF THIS MODEL YEAR. A SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND NHTSA WEBSITE CONFIRMED THIS IS KNOWN ISSUE OF THIS MODEL YEAR HONDA AS REPORTED BY MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE ESTIMATE COST TO REPLACE ALL FUEL INJECTORS IS $1700-2000. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECTIVE DESIGN BY HONDA BUT THEY WILL NOT RECALL OR COVER THE REPAIR. *TR

THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DISPLAY, THAT INCLUDES THE FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER, FUEL ECONOMY READOUT AND SERVICE REMINDERS, HAS STARTED TO DISPLAY INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES IT DISPLAYS GIBBERISH. SOMETIMES THE SCREEN IS BLANK. SOMETIMES IT IS OKAY. PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT ONE YEAR AGO, PRESENTING A MIXED UP DISPLAY. IT HAS SLOWLY WORSENED, TO INCLUDE THE TOTALLY BLANK DISPLAY HAPPENING SOME OF THE TIME. HAPPENS WITH CAR STATIONARY OR MOVING. CHANGING DIRECTION OR SPEED HAS NO EFFECT. INITIALLY SEEMED TO OCCUR WHEN AIR TEMPERATURE WAS COLD ( @ 30 DEGEES F ), AND IMPROVED AS AIR TEMP AND CAR TEMP WARMED. NOW HAS HAPPENED WHEN AIR TEMP IS @ 50 DEGREES F..

THE SMALL SCREEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISPLAYS THE FUEL LEVEL AND ODOMETER WILL OCCASIONALLY DISPLAY GIBBERISH OR JUST DISPLAY NOTHING. THE BACKLIGHT WILL STAY ON WHILE THIS HAPPENS. IT SO FAR CLEARS ITSELF AFTER A FEW MINUTES AND SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON ON COLDER DAYS, BUT IM NOTICING THAT IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE THIS TO BE ADDRESSED BY HONDA.

Mileage: 75,000

THE GUAGE THAT READS THE MILEAGE AND GAS LEVEL IN THE DASHBOARD IS GLITCHING EXCESSIVELY. THERE WILL BE TIMES THE SCREEN IS COMPLETELY BLANK. OTHER TIMES IT IS UNREADABLE. IT HAPPENS WHETHER THE CAR IS NEWLY TURNED ON, BEING DRIVEN, OR IF I RESTART THE CAR. WAS ALSO NOT FIXED WITH A NEW BATTERY. IT BEGAN A COUPLE TIMES IN 2017 AND IT IS NOW TURNING INTO A DAILY OCCURRENCE.

WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR, THE ODOMETER NO LONGER DISPLAYS INFORMATION. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, IT WILL FLICKER AND GLITCH AND SOMETIMES COME BACK. HOWEVER, MOST OF THE TIME, I AM UNABLE TO SEE MY FUEL GAUGE, WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS STARTED BACK IN NOVEMBER 2019, AND IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY DAY.

FUEL INJECTORS FAILED AT 104,000 CAUSING A $2K+ REPAIR. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS FOLLOWED PER THE MANUAL.THE PUSH BUTTON START ALSO FAILED AT THE SAME TIME. I BELIEVE THESE ISSUES SPEAK TO THE POOR BUILD QUALITY AT THE PLANT IN MEXICO AND REPRESENT A SMALL PORTION OF THE ISSUES INHERENT IN THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 104,000

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT SHOWS THE ODOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE RANDOMLY DOESN'T APPEAR WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE (LESS THAN 55-ISH). THE SCREEN WILL TURN ON SOMETIME AFTER DRIVING 4-10 MILES. AT FIRST THE SCREEN WILL LOOK GARBLED, BUT THEN IT WILL BE FINE. IT LOOKS LIKE A TON OF PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS PROBLEM.

MY KEY IGNITION LIGHT WENT ON STARTING 9/2019. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND HAD TO GET THE ELECTRICAL PANEL RELATED TO THE IGNITION AND STARTER REPLACED. IT MIGHT BE RELATED TO THE RECALL OF THE 2013-14 MODEL WHERE THE FRONT PANEL HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE A HONDA FIT 2015 EX WITH ABOUT 58K ON IT. I BOUGHT IT PRE-CERTIFIED USED 2 YEARS AGO THIS MONTH FROM THE HONDA DEALERSHIP. I AM NOW EXPERIENCING THE DISAPPEARING OF THE FUEL GAUGE AND ODOMETER DISPLAY FOR UP TO 5 MIN + INTERVALS, ESPECIALLY UPON STARTING THE CAR IN THE MORNING BUT ALSO WHILE DRIVING (ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS). AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE, BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING DAILY. I'VE GONE TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND AT FIRST WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I PRESSED THEM WITH MY PHOTOS AND AFTER MEETING WITH THE DIR. OF SERVICE, WHO THEN DID THE DIAGNOSTICS, HE SAID THAT THE WHOLE UNIT, CALLED THE 'COMBINATION METER ASSEMBLY' WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED, FOR ABOUT $800 NOT INCLUDING LABOR. THAT'S $$$. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SO FAR REFUSED TO ADMIT THEIR FAULT AND LIABILITY HERE. THERE IS NO NEGLIGENCE ON MY SIDE. WHEN I RESEARCHED THIS MALFUNCTION ONLINE, IT TURNS OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE AND MANY FORUMS DOCUMENTING THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM FOR MY EXACT HONDA FIT 2015 MODEL. IT'S VERY DISCONCERTING TO BE SADDLED WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT IT IS A LIABILITY ISSUE, RE: ODOMETER READINGS, BEING INSURED, FUTURE RESALE. . IF FOR ANY REASON THE DISPLAY IS NOT READING CORRECTLY, AND NOT CORRECTLY DISPLAYING THE PROPER # OF MILES, IT'S A MORE SERIOUS MATTER. OF COURSE, NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL YOU HAVE IN YOUR TANK IS ALSO A SERIOUS MATTER! AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL SHOULD BE STARTED FOR THIS ISSUE. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH A FAULTY DISPLAY AND ILLEGAL NOT TO HAVE THE PROPER ODOMETER READINGS. NO WAY SHOULD ANY OF US WHO OWN THIS MAKE AND MODEL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. IT'S HONDA'S FAULT.

Mileage: 58,000

THE PART OF THE DASHBOARD THAT SHOWS THE FUEL LEVELS, MPG, AND ODOMETER KEEPS SHORTING OUT AND ONLY SHOWING A BLANK BLUE SCREEN. SOMETIMES IT WILL TRY TO COME BACK ON AND SHOW RANDOM LINES AND SYMBOLS. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE, WHICH MAKES ME EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR. SOMETIMES IT WILL COME BACK ON CORRECTLY AFTER ABOUT 20-30 MINUTES OF RUNNING THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN NO CORRELATION IN ANY CONDITIONS OF WHEN IT WORKS VERSES WHEN IT DOESN'T.

FUEL GAUGE, ODOMETER IS GLITCHING. SOMETIMES JUST DOESN'T SHOW ANYTHING

FUEL GAUGE AND MILEAGE DISPLAY MALFUNCTIONING - FLICKERS ON AND OFF WITH INCOHERENT NUMBERS AND SYMBOLS. WILL GO OFF COMPLETELY AND REMAIN BLANKLY BACKLIT, SOMETIMES COMES BACK ON AND FLICKERS AND OFF AGAIN. IT WAS FLICKERING WHEN I STARTED THE CAR IN THE MORNING AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

Mileage: 22,000

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO SPUTTER AS IF IT WAS OUT OF GAS (BUT THE TANK WAS FULL), THEN THE CAR DIED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY BUT IT WAS A VERY SCARY PLACE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF ISSUE.

Mileage: 58,000

WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, A NOISE COULD SOMETIMES BE HEARD WHEN THE ENGINE WAS TURNING OVER. HERE IS A VIDEO OF THE NOISE (I DID NOT MAKE THIS VIDEO, THIS CAME FROM ANOTHER PERSON WHO HAS THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2015 FIT. HIS IS A PUSH BUTTON START. MINE IS A KEY START.): HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=DIHLDJFGQJA RECENTLY, THE NOISE HAS STOPPED, BUT WHEN STARTING THE CAR, THE DASH WILL TURN ON, LIGHTS, AC, ETC...BUT THE ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER. I SOMETIMES HAVE TO ATTEMPT TO START THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE THE ENGINE ACTUALLY TURNS OVER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN THE 2015 HONDA FIT, WITH MANY PEOPLE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE IT BETWEEN ABOUT 35K AND 50K MILES. THE CAR NOT STARTING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A COUPLE WEEKS, THE ENGINE NOISE WAS GOING ON FOR MONTHS.

VEHICLE HAS HAD TWO EPISODES OF STALLING AND NOT STARTING. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY ABOUT 70 MPH CAR STALLED THEN RESTARTED A FEW SECONDS LATER. WE HAD HOEHN HONDA CARLSBAD, CA CHECK THE CAR AND THEY REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. NOT SURE THAT WAS THE REAL PROBLEM. TODAY THE CAR EXHIBITED SYMPTOMS OF A LOW BATTERY. TWICE TODAY IT STALLED AFTER DRIVING FOR 15-20 MINUTES AND WOULD NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARKING. I HAD IT JUMPED BOTH TIMES. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK BATTERY TO AUTO SHOP WHO TESTED IT AT 100% CHARGE. I PUT IT BACK IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. WHEN I GOT HOME TEN MINUTES LATER THE SYSTEM AGAIN SOUNDED LOW ON POWER WHEN I TRIED TO START IMMEDIATELY AFTER PARKING. I CHECKED RECALLS ON 2015 FITS AND ONE CAME UP FOR "PLUG TOP IGNITION COIL DAMAGE." WONDERING IF THAT IS WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING. NOTE THAT THE TEMPERATURE WAS 93 DEGREES TODAY IN CARLSBAD. MY WIFE RECALLS IT BEING A HOT DAY WHEN IT STALLED ON THE FREEWAY. JUST WENT OUT AFTER SITTING FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT STARTED A LITTLE WEAKLY, DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK, PARKED, TURNED OFF CAR, THEN RESTARTED IT. IT STARTED MORE WEAKLY THAN THREE MINUTES PRIOR.

IGNITION BUTTON AND HAZARD BUTTON ARE PLACED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER AND ARE SIMILARLY COLORED. TWICE, I HAVE REACHED TO ENGAGE HAZARD BUTTON AND HIT THE IGNITION BUTTON INSTEAD. WHEN THE IGNITION BUTTON IN ENGAGED, THE ENGINE TURNS OFF. THE FIRST TIME I DID THIS, I WAS GOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RE-ENGAGE THE IGNITION BUTTON TO GET THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS ON A SMALL SIDE STREET AND WAS ABLE TO STOP/RE-ENGAGE MUCH MORE EASILY. I DO NOT KNOW, DID NOT KNOW AND DID NOT FIND INFORMATION IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL ABOUT WHAT TO DO IF THE ENGINE IS DISENGAGED AT SPEED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THE ENGINE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT BE SO EASY TO TURN OFF WHEN DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ABOUT A MONTH AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR, IT HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER. I HAVE ONLY JUST REPORTED BECAUSE I FINALLY HAD MY VIN NUMBER AND MY COMPUTER IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME.
