Anyone had an issue where every time you start the car the clock time is wrong, and not by a little, by hours? If I try using GPS time, that is off by about 6 hours. But the GPS/Nav has the correct location on the map.

Is it off by "about" 6 hours, or exactly 6 hours? And is it 6 hours earlier or later than it actually is at your location?

If it is just hours (and the minutes are correct), it could just be reverting back to Zulu/GMT/UTC. Mountain time is 6 hours behind Zulu, but that only makes sense if you are in that time zone.

No, it is like 6 hours and 19 minutes or something stupid lol

Also in Eastern Time (PA)

But the weird thing is, even if I manually set the clock. Next time I start the car, clock is wrong

You guys with the clock issues should probably never go over 88 mph just to be on the safe side.......:smilielol:

No, pretty sure it was F'd up last year as well.

I only drive it a handful of times per year, so I just chalked it up to that. Really not a big deal for me.

I believe this is an issue with the Uconnect 8.4" system's GPS antenna. The only fix is to replace the whole unit.

My 2012 300 is doing the same. It happened last fall when clocks went back.
