Description of the problem	The speedometer on my 2007 volkswagen gti is off by about 10 percent or to put things in perspective, when my speedometer is reading 90 mph, actual speed is 81-82 mph according to my german nav system. The car is as it left the factory with factory tires and wheels. I believe my odometer might be off a similar amount as well. I contacted volkswagen on the matter and they told me that it was normal for the speedometer to be off by that much. I cannot believe this as my 1995 ford f-150 work truck reads exactly as it should !!! (again measured by my portable nav system. I could not understand why i was always getting passed on the freeway and sometimes getting rude verbal and hand gestures even though i was traveling above the posted speed limit. This has occurred ever since i have owned the car and have only just discovered the discrepancy very recently (within a couple of weeks). I have listed the number of failures as 365 because i have owned the car since new and believe the speedometer and odometer have been incorrect since new. Im not even guessing as to how much the mileage on my car might be off yet. The car currently has 11000 miles. This is a concern which should be looked into and the manufacturer is not willing to do a thing about it apparently, so i turn to your organization in hopes that something might be done about this discrepancy. Thank you for your attention to this matter in advance.
