The odometer cluster began flickering and froze up disallowing driver the ability to view mileage, fuel level, and other maintenance information. The safety of all involved will be severely impacted if car runs out of gas during trip. The problem is cited in a number of online posts related to this make and model. The problem is too expensive to diagnose and or repair at a dealership. The problem increases with outside environmental temperature changes. cluster works occasionally if driver taps odometer cluster screen. One online post traces the problem to a soldering failure inside the cluster.

Our 2016 Honda HR-V experienced a significant issue when the fuel pump unexpectedly failed, causing the car to stall while driving uphill over an overpass. Thankfully, this incident occurred in town. It could have happened while driving on the interstate, which would have posed a severe safety risk to our family. We promptly had the Honda HR-V towed to our local Honda dealership for diagnosis and repair, where we were presented with a bill totaling over $900, including sales tax, for replacing the fuel pump. Upon further reflection, I am concerned as to why this fuel pump failure was not included in any recalls or notifications. I am aware that certain fuel pumps in other Honda HR-Vs and models have been subject to recalls due to similar issues, and I am concerned as to why the fuel pump in this 2016 HR-V was not addressed proactively. There were no warning signs, no warning signals, and no warning symptoms before the fuel pump failure.

AT 9808/9809 MILES MY CAR DEVELOPED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS A FUEL LEAK. IN CLOSE QUARTERS LIKE MY GARAGE IT IS POWERFUL AND DANGEROUS IN MY GARAGE DUE TO A PILOT LIGHT FOR THE WATER HEATER. ( EXPLOSION DANGER). THE CAR WAS PRESSURE TESTED AND WORKER SUGGESTED IT WAS AN ADDITIVE TO LAS VEGAS FUEL. MY CAR WAS SHOWING 3 BARS FILLED IN THE FUEL TANK. I FILLED THE TANK AND THE SMELL STOPPED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE SMELL IS BACK. TANK HAS BEEN FILLED AND YET THIS TIME THE SMELL HAS PERSISTED. APPARENTLY IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE AT THIS POINT WHAT THE FUEL LEVEL IS NOR THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. I ONLY SMELL THIS WHEN I AM PARKED IN CLOSE QUARTERS. THERE ARE NO OTHER SOURCES OF FUEL IN THE GARAGE. AT THIS TIME (FEBRUARY 7, 2018)I DO NOT SMELL THIS ODOR INSIDE THE CAR.
