Default speed is way off...how?

I was driving the wifes 07 ex last night when I looked down and flipped. It said I was doing 100mph....i knew i wasn't but slowed anyway, till everyone started passing by very fast. I matched traffic in a 70mph zone, and it got up to 113mph!!! The wife drove it to work, and had the same thing happen to her. No cels or any other warning lights. Any body have any ideas where to start?

Try changing the KPH readout to MPH readout. That might help.

It's a little button to the left of the steering wheel next to the SEL/RESET button.

Kilometers Per Hour always read higher than MPH.

It's really funny, because I think we all knew exactly what was happening as we were reading.

Hate to dis your friends, but they must be pretty retarded if they can't tell the difference between a car doing 140mph vs. 80mph.
