Someone crawled under your car in the night and attached a power drill to your odometer cable.
If it was 37k, I'd say that your odometer was reading in metric.

17500 miles = 28163 km
Reading owners manual = less threads like this.

yeah ok i know for a fact i did not change it my self i would have to hit and hold the little button and yes i have read the manual people but after doing some math i figured out that it was showing it to me in km but still showing my speed in mph so it wasnt my fault something got messed up it is back to normal after shutting off my car and turning it back on after awhile so thank you lilring for telling me that and not just being an a** like the majority of people on this forum

Its nice to know that your car did not go into self destruct mode.
If its really showing some Km and others in mph obviously there is a problem. Is it really that hard to understand the *problem* part and u gotta make a post to *ask* ?
