Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2006 VW JETTA (DIESEL) THAT HAS A 3-5 MPH SPEEDOMETER ERROR IN THE DRIVER'S ANALOG DISPLAY. THE DISPLAYED SPEED IS LOWER THAN ACTUAL. THIS HAS CAUSED NUMEROUS CARS TO PASS ME. THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS TOLD BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THIS WORKING AS DESIGNED. I INSTALLED A SCAN TOOL ON THE CAR AND IT READS THE CORRECT SPEED, WHILE THE ANALOG DISPLAY IS READING 3-5 MPH SLOWER THAN ACTUAL. THE MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THAT THE ANALOG DISPLAY IS SET FOR DIFFERING TIRE SIZES. *JB
