Camaro cant tell the time - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I noticed a few weeks back that my calender was 1 day off, so I adjusted it.

This morning it is 2 days behind - is this a known/widespread issue or just lucky me?

O2BQIK · 05-17-2010, 12:15 PM

Happens to me too. I haven't reported it since the dealership has been completely inept about electronic stuff. If there isn't a TSB they don't have a clue.

I noticed it once, last week. My callender was about ten days off. I adjusted it and haven't seen the problem again, yet.

BEARS-SS · 05-19-2010, 07:20 AM

I guess I need to check mine, maybe GM doesn't think that's important. $40K is a lot to spend on a calendar.

ron10 · 05-19-2010, 07:21 AM

i'll have to check mine.

O2BQIK · 05-19-2010, 07:26 AM

I don't know if they think it's important or not, but I haven't even reported it. What are the chances that the dealership can fix something like that? They couldn't even figure out that there was a PDIM update available when I brought in the exact part number they needed.

I think there maybe a rip in the space time continuum in your general vicinity.

Do you feel that your aging process is accelerating?

MontyCarlo · 05-19-2010, 10:19 AM

This has come up in the electronics forum too. The longer your Camaro has sat without being turned on, the more likely its calendar is to have the wrong date. I don't think there's a permanent fix yet.

SaintTimothy · 05-19-2010, 10:19 AM

There are a couple of other threads about this issue. I told my dealer about it and they just said to bring it in and they would check it (i.e. they don't know anything about it), which I have not done yet. I have not seen any resolution in any of the other threads.

My car is driven almost everyday (on the weekends it sometimes sits) and today I noticed it was 3 days behind the current date.

2010 SSRS · 05-19-2010, 11:37 AM

I had to set the date on mine the other day

O2BQIK · 05-19-2010, 08:22 PM

Mine did it again today. I think it happens more when I don't drive it for awhile. I drove it today but before that it was Thursday last week. It's always a few days slow (today is the 19th but it read the 16th).

ajp · 05-19-2010, 08:39 PM

Just noticed mine says 5/17 again....guess I need to take it in.

AlSuwaidi · 05-20-2010, 02:21 AM

mine is fine... maybe you have a loose wire somewhere..
