Panel flickered on the side where it tells you your milage to empty and how much gas you have in the car yesterday. This morning it was completely blank on that side of panel. My mechanic sade that it was something electrical but not the fuses. And he doesn't have the equipment to tell if it's an software update issue or not.

The LCD display which indicates fuel levels and such is made by a bad connection and will short out in all Honda 2021 HRV models that experience cold weather. This was told to me by a mechanic at a Honda Dealership in Colorado Springs. This screen going out would cause you to not know where your gas levels sit causing issues and potential safety concerns.

My digital cluster that displays how many miles my vehicle has, how many miles I have until I am out of gas and how much gas I have does not display correctly. From my own research this is due to the solder used during manufacturing being lead free. Because it is lead free it cracks in cold weather and causes a poor connection causing the display to be unreadable. I have read online and thousands of people are having the exact same issue. This is not a normal wear and tear issue and rather a manufacture defect that Honda is aware of.

I have had several issues happen where the battery will drain quickly if the doors are open for 40 minutes. One time recently happened last week when I was trying to take my wife to the hospital for a back pain issue. I tried to get her into the vehicle but the pain was too great so we called the paramedics to come and take her instead. Once they arrived and removed her from the vehicle, I went to start the vehicle and it wouldn't start. You could hear a repetitive fast clicking from the dash and a pulsing of the dash lights but no attempt of the engine to start.

Car's information gauge only displays at temperatures 70 degrees and above. The gauge (displayed on the right in the photo) contains, fuel level, odometer reading, warning icons. Car could run out of gas on highway with no warning. A Goggle search revealed many owners of different model years experiencing the same issue.

Odometer section of dashboard failed to light up/turn on. Continued to happen after restarting the car. Eventually after running the car for ~20 minutes it started flashing and turned on. If this continues to occur or fails completely/indefinitely, there is a risk of stalling on the road or highway if unable to monitor the gas gauge.

Additionally, while driving at undisclosed speeds, the doors would lock and unlock independently. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the battery needed to be replaced. The battery was replaced; however, the failure recurred after inclement weather.
