Default Clock losing time

I know I heard of other people having this problem where the clock loses time. I'm wondering if anyone has heard of a fix?

Some people have said it was fixed with a new radio, I think.
I believe that would be hit-or-miss, though. The new one could be worse than the old one.

Mine loses a few minutes a month, so I set is that far ahead every two months. Therefore, it's always within a few minutes for two months.

Same here. Every 6 months when I notice it I reset my clock. I don't know of any fix. I have heard that with the newer JK models that this is not an issue.

It's an issue with my 2011, built in May '11. I set mine 2 minutes ahead and in about 2 months it's 2 minutes behind.

Same here. I was about 5minutes off this morning. I reset the time about 3-4 months ago.

Actually all JK's have super sub-atomic clocks calibrated by the US Naval Observatory. They are on all JKs regardless of radio type. These are the only clocks keeping accurate time in these turbulent "times" what with all the temporal rifts created by the wormhole our breeders are planning to use to harvest us up to mine their intergalactic gold. We, the JK owners of the world, will be the last bastion of hope for Humanity. Don't believe me? Put illuminati in any search engine backwards (itanimulli) and dig a little deeper.

My local dealer siad Chrysler knows of the issue however there currently is no fix. They are still working on the issue and will let me know when they have a fix.

As long as it isn't your internal clock counting to zero, just another Jeep thing!

Hmm.. this would explain why I noticed that my clock was a few minutes off this morning according to my phone, when I set it to my phone's time last month.
