I bought my 04 Max in mid July. With my commute, I put about 300 miles a week on it. With other miles, let's round that to 400/week. Thats 1600 miles per month. I should have about 6400 miles on right now. Problem is my odometer reads 9300+!

I went on the highway and synched the reset button with the mileage markers. Within two miles, the digital readout was turning before I hit the tenth of a mile marker.

So, I have way more miles on the odometer than I am suppose to. Is this fixable? How? And how will I reset to 6400? My speed readout also seems 5 mph faster than actual. These two problems must be related.

I hope the dealer can fix these problems. . .

Anybody else encounter this type of problem?

Thanks. .. . .Jim C

 

This maybe a silly question, but did you change your wheels to aftermarket ones?

CM.

 

no, they are the factory installed ones. . . . .

 

thats funny, i had the same problem, i had 4900 miles after 12 days..... my dealer gave me an extra 5k warrantee

 

how did they fix it?

 

I bet you guys have an really nice avg mpg readout. I am only showing about 24mpg for me.

 

Dude said he reset the computer, somethin like that.....(maybe he said replaced) not sure...

 

I bet your speedometers are off, I am pretty sure mine is off by 2-3 mph (high) I have hooked my laptop to a gps in the car and it shows a speed that is a few mph slower than the speedo.

2-3 won't make a difference, 10 would

 

ok, thanks . . . .. ..

 

Is it reporting kilometers? It would be close to what you expect. miles = km/1.6

 

Wow. This almost has to be the answer to this mystery. The math works out perfectly.

You da man.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a TSB out for the 5th gen cause odometer was giving its reading in kilometres? Guess they better extend that TSB to our 6th gen.

 

There is a TSB for this problem. It states "Move to Canada, eh."

 

hahahahaha

Or Japan!

 

The "eh" was the perfect touch... you ****....

 

if that's the case, how do I reset it to miles?
