Dear Terry,
I have a 2005 Toyota Camry that has about a 9 percent speedometer and odometer error. I was told by the dealer (and the arbitration people at Toyota) that if it was less than 10 percent, they had no responsibility to fix it. The car now has more than 141,000 miles, so warranty is not an issue.

Dear Steve,
The issue of faulty odometers has largely revolved around a car's warranty -- if a car shows more miles that it has actually traveled, an owner can claim the warranty should be adjusted to cover the additional miles on the odometer.
Because your car has so many miles and warranty isn't an issue, there's likely no obligation for the dealer or Toyota to fix it.
