Default Fast Clock?

I have an 06' lx. I wanna know if anybody notice that their clock runs fast. A month after I reset my clock, it ends up 10 minuets ahead. Could this be an indicator that my car is one of the ones with instrumentations that were 3% faster? I was never sent anything about it so, does anybody else have this problem?

No I didn't, I never had the motivation. I wouldn't think that this would affect any other instruments, as the only tie to them would be the power/ground. The radio and heat & A/C don't have any issues.

Although, there is the infamous "Honda odometer too fast" lawsuit that's out there, although the odometers are in no way tied electronically to the radio/clock, besides power/ground like everything else in the car.

Yea I have the same problem with my clock for some reason its 14mins ahead I dont know how it got like that, but I did get the letter regarding the miles are like a certain percentage quicker than it suppose to be. At one point I thought I was going crazy about how I put 1,000 miles on my car so fast I was like there is sumthin wrong so I tested when I had to drive to Atlantic City it was off Mapquest stated less than how much I drove I forget how much the difference was but it was sufficient to make sense why I put those miles so fast.

my clock has this problem. its 12 minutes fast and no matter how many time i correct it, it still ends up ahead. i think i am going to set it back 12 min so that way it will be the right time. havent gotten around to it yet.
