Hummmmmmmm... .
Does your car have navigation module?
If so it is embarassing that the clock display isn't coupled with the GPS thus exhibiting the absolute correct time all the time.
Where's the "Excellence" in that?
This would be yet *another* de-excellence-ification of the PCM unit.

Same here. I think the problem with the clock running slow on the PCM unit is because it is originally design for Navi function connecting along with a GPS unit. GPS gets automatic time re-calibrated when it is connected with the sat. So, when you don't have the Navi activated, the time is not accurate too. Any thoguhts about this???

No NAV here. Sport Chrono & Bose are the only electronic options on my car. The tech at the dealership seemed to think it had something to do with a specific combo of options.

At my dealer's they say it's a problem related with no nav -cars.
There is no solution at this moment...

I might be way out of date but here goes anyway:
It used to be that quartz "movements" and their electronics on the chip were impossible to mfgr consistently just right. They just made a huge number of them and then quality controlled exactingly and expected to discard a large percentage of them for being too innaccurate for a particular client's tolerances.
The discard pile: that's where all those cheap clocks and wristwatches come from.
Sadly it seems some of these chips may have made it into our cars.
Just a guess on my part... .
