Description of the problem | The speedometer indicates i am going faster than i am and the mileage shows that i have traveled further than i have. I have checked this against my garmin and highway departments radar signs that tell how fast you are driving. This makes my warranty run out sooner than it should. I have taken it into the dealer and they say there is no problem. This happens when the car is in motion on both city streets and on the highway. My second car confirms what the garmin shows for speed and miles driven. This is an ongoing problem. It is off by about 7 % . The odometer shows about 68,000 miles. The actual, as i see it, is about 63,000 miles. That is 5,000 miles more than the car actually has on it and the 100,000 mile warranty will run out at 93,000 miles. The car shows 65 mph and the garmin and roadside radar indicate my speed at 60 mph. |
