About once or twice a week my DIC will show the wrong date. It will always be one day behind. If I shut the car off and turn it back on though it will show the right date. Anyone else have this problem sometimes?

I know that there was some sort of issue with the 04+ models doing this, but what the fix is or what the TSB if any is I dont know. But I know its common enough someone should have an answer for ya.

It whines a lot, but I like it.

The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

mine is always a day behind. i have the set the date a day ahead to get the right day. idk

This condition is caused by an anomaly in the 6-disc CD/radio software for vehicles built prior to January 6, 2004 and with RPO PCJ -- Premium Sound System

Is that a 'free' new radio, or customer pay if out of warranty?

It's a bulletin not a recall so out of warranty it could be customer pay. It's possible to get your dealer to take care of it. Call them and see. It will depend on a few things like in service date/mileage/good customer...as to what they can do.

Recalls only pertain to issues of safety. You not knowing the day of the week isn't a safety issue.

If your DIC isn't on the right date then that sounds like a personal problem
