Subject: Honda Accord - mileage/speedometer is not working properly dear sir, I have a Honda Accord 200 and its speedometer is not working properly. Compare with diff gps, highway milestones etc. The speedometer is not correct. I have asked and compare with other Honda owners and they have noticed the same problem. I took/complain to car dealer and they have noticed the problem as well, but they cannot fix it, its a manufacturing defect. While compare with gps speed and speedometer on car, cars speedometer is running faster by 5 mph more. I understand from an internal source, that its a Hondas dirty practice to convince customer that Honda provides better mileage efficiency while comparing other cars. Can you look in to it, please?[xxx].

Honda is not accepting responsibility for the defective clearcoat.
