Before I go to the dealer and request some service, I am curious if anyone else has bought a car that was originally from Canada, and was imported and sold in the US, and is having issues with the speedometer.
I bought a 2019 Nissan Rouge, last Friday, that was originally sold in Toronto. It only has 16k miles, and was imported to the US last January. Car Fax shows the first dealer that had it did the gauge cluster swap. I bought it from the 2nd dealer who took possession of it. It pretty much sat in the garage all weekend until I started driving it yesterday.
When setting the cruise, it tells me I’ve set the speed 3-5mph more than what the gauge is reading. So, the computer thinks the car is going faster than the speedometer says it is. I have verified with a Garmin GPS, and also checked on the highway using mile markers and the trip odometer. The trip odometer changes to .9 just before I reach the 1 mile mark on 3 different tries.
Is this something I have to live with being it was built for km/h measurement, or should I push the dealer to recalibrate it? In this market, car dealers are not very customer service oriented, so I want my ducks in a row before I go in.
Thanks.
