Default Ok my Outside temp sensor on my screen has officially gone to ****....

It will say -20F and work its way up during driving. Or +20F when I start it up and go down. It's totally screwed up. And it's affecting my A/C, I put it on low and full blast when its 90F outside, but my screen reads -30F so I think it thinks the outside temp is cold enough so it shoots that through the vents full blast. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an easy fix or should I deal with the dealership?

Default take it to the dealer, i just had that fixed a couple weeks ago. Same problem. Just make

sure you clearly state that it's the OUTSIDE temp sensor...they could easily mistake it as the engine temp and then they'll go and start changing the coolant temp sensor.
