I was driving (slowly, in walking traffic) and filming my odometer rolling slowly, and then after 3 miles realizing it wasn't going to hit 300,000 miles. Found this thread today, it's been a long time since I wandered into GenVibe. Happy to see everyone still here!
My issue is that I drive for Lyft, and for taxes, I do need to have odometer readings to show how much driving I've done, percentage wise, to deduct my maintenance, etc. I'm feeling like this may mean the end of my beloved 6-speed GT, as far as using it for Lyft and the dark side. So there hasn't been any actual solutions from Toyota or GM? Our 1991 Toyota Previa (analog odometer) is well past 300,000 miles, and I'm interested to see what happens when our 1998 Lexus LS400 gets there. Is this an issue with the Prius as well?
Just wandering and hoping someone has better news. I hated dealing with GM regarding the ridiculous early clutch issues.
Some of the other members have used the trip odometer to continue to count mileage, or have swapped in a lower mileage example from another Vibe. I also recall seeing some place on the internet that said they could reprogram it to continue, but I don't know about it.
From an accounting perspective, as long as you can substantiate your mileage through documentation, you should be OK. I would continue using the trip odometer, adding 300,000 to it, and if you do swap it out, document the ending and beginning mileage and that should be good. Not like there is no proof there is a problem with these odometers.
Good luck!
