The Dealer says that they cannot fix it and that US Law says Car Manufacturers have a 10% leeway on the accuracy of the speedometer.
Certainly helps my 0 to 60 time!!

Actually, mine reads 2 MPH fast, not slow (I'm the slow one) as compared to the digital speed
immediately after resetting the average speed and as now confirmed by Garmin 2620 which is pretty cool.

D.O.T. Regs + Liability
phs3:
In addition to D.O.T. tolerances regarding speedometer error, auto manufacturers' legal departments advise that speedometers are calibrated to indicate a speed slightly higher than actual. Most speedometers read 2-3% higher than actual, at least.
