Time keeps on slipping....

It can happen on any electronic clock.

You can change out the clock module--maybe they'll warrant the thing--or you can just get the $2 module from the drugstore and just stick it on. Frankly, that's the easiest solution.

yeahbut, if i'd just paid tens of kilodollars for a brand new car, i'd want the freakin' clock to work properly. i say warranty return.

to the o.p., it's probably one of honda's suppliers outsourcing to china. other than changing the crystal, which is a non-trivial task with modern smd circuit fabrication, i don't think there's much you can do other than get the whole unit swapped out.

I am not so sure there isn't some sort of adjustment possible. I saw a Ford TSB recently that dealt with an inaccurate Fiesta clock and the fix involved reprogramming the car's computer -

FORD:

I was surprised by this, but I guess when you have a multi-purpose display controller (the same display provides information on the radio, and menus for setting up other stuff) you might have the clock function built into the controller. Honda might (or might not) be doing something similar. In fact there is a 2011 Honda TSB for Odesseys that seems to indicate that they might use a similar system:

Make / Models: HONDA / ODYSSEY Model/Build Years: 2011 Service Bulletin Number: SB-10-081 NHTSA Item Number: 10038564 Summary: HONDA SERVICE CAMPAIGN: SEE DOCUMENT SEARCH BUTTON FOR OWNER LETTER.

Mine gains a minute a month or thereabouts.

Bring it to the dealer. This is a warranty repair. There may even be a TSB out on your problem by now.

Be aware that Honda expects their clocks to gain or lose a bit of time each month. Exactly how much yours gains/loses will be important in determining if your problem is warrantable, so make sure you're certain just what the discrepancy is.
