| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Purchased new car - noted speedometer reading 9% off - verified via stopwatch/mile marker method, gps, and radar. dealership and manufacturer stated that the allowable at any speed is plus or minus 10% (i.e. speedometer says 70 going 63 to 77 mph). safety hazard in traffic flow plus i am spending lots of time while driving watching speedometer and trying to figure out how fast i am going and what the speedometer needle should be pointing at to be correct. manufacturer and dealership have refused to attempt to correct problem. not sure what the federal regulations allow, but 10% delta seems excessive. dealership noted that a new car of the same make, model, and year for the lot was also tested and had the same speedometer delta from actual. not sure if this is a systemic problem with toyota camry. 2005 toyota tundra was tested and found to be about 5%. also noted that the odometer reading is incorrect by a similar percentage (i.e. odometer reading not accurate for actual mileage on vehicle).*jb |
