As the temperatures have been warming up I have noticed that my outside temperature indicator is increasingly inaccurate. Yesterday it was 92F but the ARMADA tells me its 107F anyone else have this issue?

is this your first summer in the armada?

you are seeing the heat under the engine interfering with the sensor. as you move along the temp should change. its not going to be spot on . i think what you are seeing is typical of that outdoor sensor.

I agree.......if you are parked and idling with the AC on, your temp will go up, as you drive say on the highway, it should go back to normal.
