    Open it up and maybe fix it?

    Not much else can be done. Might just have to live with it, if you don't feel like taking it apart and seeing if you can move it back to 1.

    I don't see how that can happen unless the odometer unit has been damaged from previous tampering.

    Well the 100000 was starting to move down when I hit 180k ish, but as soon as it hit 190k, the 2 dropped. I find it hard to believe this car really has 290k on it.

    How long have you owned it? How many miles?

    Seems like a sign someone's been in there to me.

    This ***** has got issues, but I'd think if it had near 300k on it the car would have rusted in two already.
