I had this issue today. My digital was under by 4 mph. When I pulled in my driveway I noticed the needle did not lay all the way down to zero, so I think the digital was accurate. I went for a drive later on and everything was fine.

mine is off also, dealer said the speedometer is only an approximation and has a delay. It might be 1-3 mph off from the digital. lol

Is there a way to adjust the position of analog speedometer so that while stopped the needle rests at zero? Seems like something that should be simple to adjust

I agree, the dealer should have a way to calibrate the needle. I should get my Jeep back on Monday, will see what Jeep's official answer is since I told the dealer I want official Jeep documentation of the approximation / 1-3 mph error.

Picked up my Rubicon this weekend and noticed the analog speedometer and digital read-out were off by around 5km/h (2~3 mph)
But as others have mentioned, the problem is intermittent. I'll glance down and one moment, it'll be dead on but a few minutes later, it'll be off again.

If you are wondering which one is correct, trust your external GPS for sure over the vehicle, once you've hit a constant speed. The GPS will be more accurate, although might have like a 1 second lag if you are accelerating.

I have the same issue and it's only intermittent, which doesn't make sense at all. Mine is typically around 6-7 MPH off. I checked it with GPS speedo from phone and the digital speedo is correct, the analog dial is showing 6-7MPH higher than normal. Super annoying but at least the cruise matches the digital number, which matches the actual GPS speed.

Your profile says you put on 37s...you recalibrated right?I have the same issue and it's only intermittent, which doesn't make sense at all. Mine is typically around 6-7 MPH off.

Yes I had the dealer reflash with the $125 calibration thing. I had this intermittent speedo error before (from day 1) and after. Calibration didn't change anything for me.

@JeepCares is there anything specific to tell the dealer service dept regarding this issue? I haven't initiated anything on mine because it's intermittent and I know I won't be able to replicate it for them.

This thread should probably be moved to the : ISSUES, REPAIRS, WARRANTY, TSB, RECALLS sub-forum.
I'm sure there are many others with this issue.

@JeepCares I have the same issue as many in this thread. Since I know the center speedo is accurate it is not a big deal right now. More of an annoyance. I was going to address it with my dealer at my first oil change, but I want to make sure they have some reference on how to correct this so it's not a huge inconvenience to me and my time. Will there be a dealer bulletin I can reference?
