Broken thermometer?

My thermometer reads 65F right now. It's definitely not 65F outside. It worked fine yesterday.

Anyone know where exactly the G's thermometer is?

Edit: found it

Too bad the only dealer I trust with my car is over an hour away.

There are days when I know it's just off. Like the one day when it said 126 . There was one time that it was probably about 10 to 20 cooler then it really was (did that for over a week) I swear they have a mind of their own sometimes

^^^i've done some research and it's not uncommon for it to be off. BUT, in every case that i've read the thermometer has overstated the temperature. in my case it is clearly understating it by about 25 degrees.

i took a 20 minute drive and every 5 minutes or so it would move up 1 degree. it now reads 69F.
