Odometer Class Action Suit?
I just received paperwork from the feds concerning a suit that will acheive
Class Action status on Accord odometers. Of all cars, our '05 Accord is the
most accurate! I do, however, have a different car that has a similar 3-4%
error on the speedometer & odometer. So, now I'm wondering how common a
problem is this? If I switch tire sizes, it all goes out the window,
anyway.
Anyone else question their odometer?

Sure. The odometer on my '88 Civic is about 2-3% off. For what it's worth,
slight errors can be adjusted for by switching to different tires. Try
experimenting with a tire size calculator such as

Re: Odometer Class Action Suit?
I've noticed when I pass through the school or police van radars my
2000 Ody shows about 2-3 mph below what my speedometer is showing. As
an aside, this is a replacement unit, because my first one blew (quit)
during the warranty period.

Interestingly, that's what I've seen in all the modern cars and trucks I've
driven the last few years. 2 mph conservative at low speeds, 3 (sometimes 4)
mph at highway speeds.

Comparing my 2001 Accord to GPS, the speedometer is dead on. Reads about 1
