Clock losing time

by **Wally932** » Fri Jun 06, 2008 7:31 pm

Hello,

I just purchased an '04 Solara Convertible...it is awesome. I noticed, however, that the clock loses about a minute every day.

The dealership put in a new battery before I bought it.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

You are slowly going back in time.

You know, you are correct that the clock does not match other clocks. When i last set mine a few months ago, i set it 7 minutes fast (my other one is set via GPS signal). these days they are dead even. Not a huge issue, but i can confirm that it doesn't hold the same time as others do.

Slow down or you will activate the flux capacitor and time travel will be imminent!!

Wally932,

Mine did this also and I took it in to the dealers and they replaced it with a new one. They said it was a know issue, since then it's been great. Not sure if your car is still under warranty or not, if not let me know, I've got an extra one for sale, I think I do, I'll have to search the garage to find it tho.

Unfortunately I have not. I have looked online, but I can't find a replacement clock. I don't want to go to the dealership.

Any suggestions?

Maybe its the SIZE of your clock that's the problem...
