This morning I noticed that my clock was half an hour fast so I set it to the correct time and drove to work. I had to pop out for an appointment in the afternoon and when I looked, the clock was again half an hour fast. I looked at the menu and set it to auto time setting or whatever it is called. I am pretty sure that I had this on before but still, if it is on manual, the clock should not be changing itself without input. Has anyone else seen this?

You didn't hit 88 MPH and lightning at the same time did you?

JK, I had that with my old jeep YJ and it had something to do with poor wiring and a faulty fuse. But it was also a jeep that had a shit show for wiring setup.

I had a similar problem when I woke up Sunday. Time on my iPhone and computer were off by an hour from the clocks on the microwave and stove. I have no idea whats going on.

Last generation the time came from GPS. I think the time comes from the cell modem now. No idea why your Bronco is broken but most are in some way lol.

All kidding aside, 30 minutes makes no sense. There has to be logical explanation for this.

Now where did I put that Aliens meme?

Some time zones are in half hour increments. But if this only started happening on Nov 6th then it's a DST "feature".

30 minutes? Maybe your clock was intended for the Indian market and doesn't know it's in the Americas. :)

It could be Newfoundland Time but then I would expect it to be 3 1/2 hours fast.... 🤔

It's really weird, the time was correct yesterday afternoon.
