You must have read or heard about technical problems in a car many times. After which people keep demanding replacement of parts or repairs from car companies. But recently a case has come to light which has surprised everyone. Arun Ghosh, an Indian living in Canada, owns a Honda Accord sedan car and now the odometer of his car is not working anymore, for which he has made a special demand from the car company.

Actually, Ghosh has completed a journey of 9,99,999 km in his car and now his odometer is not showing further numbers. Troubled by this, Ghosh has demanded a special odometer from the car company. Ghosh is demanding a customized 7-digit odometer from Honda so that he can keep the driving records of his favorite car in future.

According to media reports, Ghosh, originally from Kerala, went to Canada in 2017. Where he bought his dream car Honda Accord. He is very fond of car driving. When his car completed a journey of 5 lakh km, one of his friends inspired him to complete 10 lakh km.

After which he went on a drive with his friend to complete the target of 1 million km. But while completing the journey, the odometer of the car stopped at 9,99,999 km. Because it did not have the facility to display 7 digits. In his statement to the media, Ghosh says that, “He expected that his car’s odo meter would show 10,00,000 km, but this could not happen due to the lack of 7 digit facility in the odometer.”

The dealership is also surprised:

Ghosh has contacted his local Honda dealership to get a customised odometer installed in the car. Shamil Becharbhai, director of the Honda dealership in St. Catharines, Ontario, was shocked to see the odometer on the car. In his statement to CBC News, Shamil said, “In his 20 years of business, he has never seen a car that has travelled such a long distance. The car that he has known the most before had travelled about 5,50,000 km.” Currently, the dealership is also trying to find a solution to Ghosh’s problem.
