Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Bmw 525i 2004: dealer says they can not set speedometer to show miles actually traveling: instead the speedometers on all cars are set using the following formula: speed shown on speedometer x .10 (the result) add 2.4 miles. Then take this result and subtract it from the miles shown on the speedometer to find the actual miles I am traveling! In other words if the speedometer shows I am traveling 70 MPH x .10 = 7 + 2.4 = 9.4 I am actually going 60.6 miles! Bmw refuses to adjust this. What can I do short of trading in car?”
