1 Vehicle Speed Control problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2020

I reported the speedometer issue to Lexus chantilly, va when I drove on highway from va to in, the Lexus speedometer shows 83, and my waze shows 75. Its 8 mph difference. I also have noticed of the mph difference between 6 to 8 mph. Lexus said, I required to pay for the repair, when this speedometer is defected by Lexus design. It has do nothing with personal wear, etc. I drove other Honda pilot, and the speedometer showed correctly against the traffic pattern, and waze app, but the 2016 Lexus doesnt show the correct based on traffic flow, and waze app. The travel from leesburg, va to indiaopolis, in should be 547, but ended at 601 miles. Im ok if its just few miles differences, but 50 miles per every 500 miles is huge, 5% error. I think its because of speedometer and impact error actual miles. I went to Lexus chantilly, va to perform recall for other thing, door handle, but they said, wont look at speedometer issue, unless I pay for it. Then I called Lexus corporation to open the case, and the Lexus case manager wont honor or fix my issue. This is serious safety issue, and should be covered by Lexus due to their defective issue. I have 4 photos to attach. . Can you assist me to contact Lexus to fix based on photos. Thank you. . . I can be reached via bizcham@gmail. Com - cham leang.
