Infotainment on other Fit years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them.
What this problem usually is
Screen complaints read like a list of small betrayals. The display goes black or freezes, the backup camera shows nothing when you shift into reverse, CarPlay or Android Auto keeps dropping, or the radio changes volume on its own. Many owners had a software update that didn't fix it. A narrower sheet covers backup camera failures on their own, and another covers screens that freeze.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the head unit or screen (19 reports).
Recalls and investigations
One recall on the electrical system covers the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The affected vehicles may experience damage to the wires inside the Plug Top Ignition Coils (PTC) due to improper protection against electrical noise.

Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 7 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Honda Fit that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.

What owners wrote
“The fuel gauge, which is digital, has a soldering point which is apparently a known failure spot due to the type of solder used. This causes the display to fail, which makes the fuel gauge unreadable. Not only is this a distraction for drivers, but it can lead to running out of gas unexpectedly in dangerous situations.”

“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.”

“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.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 63 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
