Some 2004-2012 Honda and Acura nav rules think they’re 20 years in the past
If by some chance you’re old enough to remember the whole Y2K bug anxiety where all the computers were supposed to completely lose it at 12:01 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2000 and progresses the world to come to a screeching halt (if you’re not old enough to lift, don’t worry — it didn’t actually happen), then you’ll probably have a comic at an issue that’s plaguing some Honda and Acura owners.
The exclaim, which was reported on Thursday by Jalopnik, involves Honda and Acura vehicles making from 2004 to 2012 suddenly jumping back 20 existences in time on their in-car clocks and screens. This is luckily more funny than genuinely problematic. According to a response from Honda to a CR-V owners companionship, the problem will be self-correcting, which is cool — but it will also take pending August of this year to auto-reset, which is less cool.
The exclaim itself likely stems from the way that GPS rules calculate time. And according to the Jalopnik piece, this has existed before to Honda and Acura owners, affecting vehicles in 2017 and alongside in 2021, albeit with cars from different model years.
If this existed to your Honda or Acura, let us know in the comments!
