Next class action lawsuit for Jeep.

You'd have to show that a speedometer reading 1mph or 2mph above actual speed is a safety hazard.


....good luck....

Took me a while to get used to having digital only, no analog needle to look at.

First thing my wife wanted was the digital speedometer at the top of the display because the analog one was too far off center.

Really?
While it's true that most have historically been centered above the steering column and thus the driver's face, there's been speedometers in the past that were so wide, the left and right ends were clear off about where this one is now and talk about parallax....... the needle was often well off the gauge face not to mention the distance clear over to the left or right of the speedometer.
Seems to me the early 60s Ford - like a Galaxy, had a speedometer that took the whole width of the cluster area and the divisions were a guess at best. The numbers in the middle of the speedometer range were often very close together in those old wide speedometers.
Even being off like these are, they are better than what we had when I learned driving.
Not a fan of digital - it's just not how I work when judging things like speed. Digital is too black and white with no "this is how close you are to the next level" visually. Just don't like 'em.
No choice in a Wrangler 4xe, though - oddly, the tach and the Kw meter for usage or charging are analog type gauges with a needle! Weird.

I can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt. Any doubters can drive with my wife in the passenger seat and have her think you are speeding. Trust me, it's a health and safety hazard LOL
I've told her over and over - the speedometer is reading high! Then I pass a radar sign and show her, see - I'm going exactly 35 and look at how the speedometer is reading about 37 (small town - they'll nail your butt)

My digital, analog, and GPS always seem to match perfectly. It's probably just another advantage of having a Mojave. It just gets better and better! ?
