I don't know if this is happening to anyone else, but ive noticed that the outside temperature gauge on the DIC is kinda...well, stupid. Today, it was around 85F and the thing was reading 67F: Note I was driving around for about 30 mins and it didnt change!

Anyone else recognize this or is my temp thing just stupid?

 

ive noticed it
my dealership told me that it will only read new temps once your car has been running a certain time, and over 30mph.

i dont know if thats for sure....but I have noticed that its not always correct, but generally when your driving highway speeds it is.

 

Mine works fine, yours is just stupid

 

mine works good. i park in a garage and in the winter it will say like 50f. then ill pull it into the driveway and in like a min or so its will go down to the real outside temp like 35 or something so it works good,

 

Meh, i think it really depnds, like an0malous said.......

 

All I know is when mine drops below 32*F, it tells me there's ice possible on the roads. Not probable in Florida, but I get the point, its ***** ass cold outside.

 

mine has gotten 'stuck' before, was 90 outside, but it read 65 the entire day, wasnt until sundown when it finally started working again and changed. but other then that one time its been ok

 

Mine works great. (I have it up to 102F and as low as -15, it does get cold in MN )

Heated leather seats FTW

 

More like freeze your ***** off cold, I've noticed mine acts retarded too, espically when it's raining, it just goes ape ****. It poured today, 21 Celicus, and the damn thing told me it was -2 and to expect ice

 

Mine gives readings in real time. yours gives you temps in UnReal time....LOL

 

Mine is usually wrong too. Usually reads like 60*-70* even when it's 110* outside. Brought it to the dealership and they said it was within tolorence

 

within tolerance! thats bs!

 

Mine is often way off until I have driven for a little while.

 

I took a pic of mine when it said 115....it was actually 115!!!

 

Same here. If anything, it seems to be low rather than high.

 

OooOoOOooo old thread resurrection!

This problem happens in the HHR as well! http://chevyhhr.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2843

And yes my temp gauge is still stupid!

 

if mine goes under 40 it says ice possible

 

^^ lol they all do

 

out here mine got up too 120ish 130ish in the summer got to love arizona and with the leather seats

 

mine is generally within +/-2* everytime of what the weather says

 

i dont care bout my temp..i never look at it anyways..i just look at my coolant temp

 

pfffff i get that reading from time to time in the winter

i live in FL and i had ICE on my windshield and im in orlando :P

 

mine gets stuck now and then. usually fixes itself the next time i start the car.
