Default digital odometer glitch ?

hey guys,

my dad bought a vette 2 weeks ago, 33K miles...... he was out cruising today and noticed the odometer read 53K.....so he came home and was like wtf ?!?!??!

we disconnected the battery for 30 mins, and it went back to 33XXX

so, my question is, should we be suspicious of the dealer ? or was this just some crazy blip ??

any help, or experiences would be great,
thanks

Stop playing with the ENG MET button.

33,000 Miles = 53,108 Km

You could have just pushed the ENG MET button again to switch it back instead of disconnecting the battery.

I guess he didn't read the owners manual.
