Has anyone come across a fix for this yet?

SS Power · 02-06-2010, 11:22 PM

Same problem with my Camaro. I had the car like one month and I noticed the Day was short by one day. I thought Chevrolet programed it wrong so I fixed it. Yesterday I noticed the day is short again by one day.

The car was standing 3 days without been moved. I just unlocked and locked it in the time a few times to get some stuff out or in the car. Today the

car is only 4 month old.

mine is always wrong too!

Mine is in storage for the winter. I go and start it up every 6 weeks. I did this two weeks ago and noticed my date was off as well. This is not nice, but it is still better than a sticky gas peddle.

camaros and vettes · 02-08-2010, 09:33 PM

mine too. mine has sat since middle of nov. started twice to warm up and move the tires, both times the date has been off by more than a week.

shiftz33 · 02-10-2010, 12:44 PM

I just found the date in my Camaro off by two days today. I normally drive it at least 3 to 5 times a week. I last checked the date about a month ago and it was correct then, but today when I checked it, it showed "02/08/2010" instead of "02/10/2010".

I normally don't see the date since the radio is "on" when I turn off the key, so it turns on the radio when I turn on the power again.

Very strange.

Codeman71! Paging Codeman71.... Please report to this thread, stat!

Mine does it too when it sits for a couple of days.

Man, that is a serious power saving mode they have goin on in there...

I had my battery disconnected for a while and when I reconnected it the date was off (expectable) but is was also set on 24 hr time and it would not let me set it back to 12 hr. It worked after disconnecting the battery and reconnecting it after about 5mins. Kind of strange.

LittleRockCGM · 02-10-2010, 04:55 PM

Mine just did this the other day - looks like those that are not driven daily are more prone to it.

MontyCarlo · 02-25-2010, 08:28 PM

I took mine out for the first time in a couple months today and the date was off by 10 days or so.

I got my car in October and put her in storage in my garage in November.I get it out approx.every two weeks and warm her up and move it up and down the driveway to move the parts.Every time the date has been off.Hopefully this spring a cure will be found and I will take her to the dealer for the rest of the updates.
Maybe it just wants us to be in the zone so much that we loose track of all reality! lol

Buffnshine · 02-25-2010, 08:59 PM

mine is off only if its been sitting for a week or so and just the date, easy fix and I just assumed its because it is garage and is not getting its digital signal

camarokat · 02-28-2010, 10:02 AM

I just discovered this little glitch with my Camaro as well. Does anyone know of a fix or if it needs a visit to the dealer for anything yet?

Jferrell88 · 02-28-2010, 07:34 PM

this has been an issue since day 1. I got mine 3rd week of april and its been an issue from the begging about every 2 weeks i lose 2-3 days its never the same its very odd. how could the date change when the time is always correct
