Why is the clock in my 2007 Honda Civic adding minutes?

A year ago I bought a new Civic EX and it adds two minutes every month to the digital clock. My dealer says this is very common and within acceptable range by Honda. After several visits to the dealer, they are unable to determine the cause and unwilling to pay for any further work (as the car is under warranty). Do I have to live with this?Why is the clock in my 2007 Honda Civic adding minutes?Sounds like you may have to get used to it for now. Digital clocks are controlled by it's own timer in a microchip that may consist of a special arrangement between tiny resistor and capacitor components.



Together it creates a constant frequency that can be used to tell time. If the resistor and capacitors are bad and out of specifications, the timer will fall out of sync against the real time.



A new digital clock replacement will quickly resolve your issue. If your car is still under warranty, you should talk to the manager and demand to have them simply install a new one instead of fumbling around for months to understand why it falls out of sync. It should just be less than $5 to get a simple new digital clock. (make sure you mark the old one somehow so you can tell if they really did install a new one)
