When I left, after they replaced the instrument cluster and did an allignment, the Cluster reads 49,991. Amazing how the Warranty got an extra 10 miles added to it. Wonder if they will do this again haha.

When updating the new cluster, its updated based on a calucation, its not going to be exact.

Default I would laugh if at 49,999 the motor exploded and you got a free car!

When my instrument cluster was replaced, I was hoping to get it back reading 000,000. No such luck

Default rollback is an issue...

if the car is re-registered w/ 35,000 miles and the last time it was registered it was at 43,000 miles...now that's "NOT GOOD!
