NEED HELP, Odometer Failure !!
Hello folks,
i do have a 14 C7 Z51 and I noticed that the odometer doesn’t work as it should.
One day, I was driving and my odometer shows 99,999 km and i was expecting it to change to 100,000 km at any second, but i was shocked when the number changed to 99,000 km !! I stopped immediately, turned off the car and started it all over again thinking that it’s going to be fixed but sadly nothing happened.
This happened a while ago and now my C7 mileage is around 99,9xx km and I’m afraid that the same will happen again and again.
i’m looking for your support and suggestions, what should i do? Dose anyone experienced the same issue and resolved it?
Thanks,

I guess that if the odometer is going backwards is a good thing

Change units to U.S. miles instead of metric/KM when you are are 99,900km. Drive for 200km or 65 miles, switch back to metric/km.
This will avoid the roll-over from 99,999 to 100,000km.
Good luck.

Hahaha, that’s what I thought at first BUT, we need to do the annual vehicle check up at the Vehicles Safety Center in my country and they registered my last mileage and they will do the same over and over. Once they find that my mileage is going backwards they will think I’m cheating the system and i will be in trouble

Good luck getting the odometer problem fixed. I can understand your concern since as you state you have to get the annual vehicle check up.

And I laughed at the Subaru software engineers when the clock in my boss's new Outback lost five minutes a week. Now I have another software engineer to laugh at.
