loosing time?

jayl · 01-04-2012, 11:55 AM

Hi,

Sorry if this has been covered before. my car looses time by a couple minutes over 3-4 months... anyone else experience the same? (the clock will be behind about 1-2 minutes every few months).

Thanks,

I've noticed that with every car I've had in the past 10 years. a three dollar Timex keeps better time than any car I've ever owned

My old Honda lost time.... So far my Z has been perfect, but I've only had it for 3 weeks.

at least it's easier to fix the time than if it was going too early. (less button to push)

you can make up for the lost time by driving faster you grandma.

Strange haven't experienced anything like that, although in the minivan I have the time jus completley cuts off and comes back whenever it wants

Actually, going faster slows down time even more..
Lol

Actually as you go faster and faster, time slows down. You are driving way too fast.
