Description of the problem	After a week of driving the car, i noticed the time on the clock was 10 minutes fast. I reset the clock and three days later, it was 2 minutes fast again. I repeatedly adjusted the clock every week for about 18 months. After 8 months, i decided to let it continue to run fast to see if it would continue. About a month ago, it got to the point that i had to go ahead and reset it because i never really knew what time t was without checking my phone. At that point, the clock had not been reset for 6 months and was 50 minutes fast. Very inconvenient for the driver and causes a distraction just to check my phone to make sure i'm not late to work or an appointment.
