Example complaints

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

“Speedometer on my new car is not calibrated correctly. It constantly registers about 8% too high. Does DOT regulate this calibration? It seems possible that odometer could also be incorrect. Bmw says that their allowable tolerance is 10%. Can this possibly be allowable in the us? There does seem to be a potential safety issue.”

NHTSA complaint #10200905, filed 2007-08
