Odometer just added 10,000 miles!!
Wednesday, May 18, 2005 12:21 PM
i had 39,260 miles on my 2001 sunfire and i just noticed that now it reads 49,260! wtf?! i know i didnt drive those 10,000 miles, cause theres a sticker for my next oil change on my window and it says 39,600 was my next change. what caused this?

i had a problem with my transmission the other day and i lost all my oil and had to patch a hole up and then put more oil in. maybe thats it?

hey chris,

keen observation sherlock! thanks for the tip! where would i be without you? and here i am thinking i'm in the exterior forum.. what a pal!

the odometer is included in the "electronics" section of the car which makes your post....inane.

doubt your going to get much luck, my advice have it checked out at a electronic shop that deals with these typse of electronics. if they cant find out if its faulty u may be screwed. i know the milage is stored in the cars computer, not the actual cluster. u may even may need to go to the dreaded dealer.

Be thankful your odometer does display all 8's most of the time and blink to the beat of your music.... that's what mine does.

my tranny had problems, i sent it in for repairs(small accident, lost tranny oil. didnt notice and drove it like that... ended up waxing some disks) and when i got my car back, my odometer was correct again. before i sent it in my interior lights wouldnt turn on either(hvac/guages) and they work now too. i guess my faulty transmission was the culprit?i can see why the odometeor was acting weird, but my interior lights? they have nothing to do with the tranny... whatever, its fixed and i'm not asking anymore questions

Try getting a new cluster. The ecu stores mileage....so when you put the new cluster in it will reset to whatever the ECU has stored. If the ECU added 10,000 miles and not just the cluster....then I guess you might be screwed.

This is true? My light isn't working on my odometor & I talked to the dealership & they told me that there isn't a seperate bulb so I would have to buy a new cluster!!! I didn't know if that was right or not?

is what im thinking.....cuz i dont see how the ECU would just randomly add 10K miles to the car, and if it did, good luck explaning to the new buyer that the car acctually has 10 thousand less miles lol


thank god i have the 97....last year for the non-digital odometer
