My one week old toyota camry's speedometer doesn't show the correct speed. Bell road toyota told me there's a 10% tolerance so if it's not off by more than that they won't fix it. Mine is off by 10% and i think that's a hazard. Every time i look down at the speedometer i have to do the math to figure out how fast i'm actually going. It's distracting to me and it's a danger to other drivers when i'm going slower than…

The guy didn't offer to check it, he just made that statement. The hesitation happens any time…
