Consumer Description

I ALONG WITH MANY OTHER 2014 FIAT 500L HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. OUR OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS NOT READING CORRECTLY WHICH 100% AFFECTS THE HEATING AND COOLING. THE TEMPERATURE ALWAYS READS 30 DEGREES COLDER THEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE REALLY IS. SO MY AC WON'T RUN COLD ON A 90 DEGREE TEMPERATURE DAY (LIKE TODAY). BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS IT IS 60 DEGREES OUTSIDE. IT WILL ACTUALLY ONLY BLOW WARM AIR ON AN 80 DEGREE DAY BECAUSE THE TEMP SHOWS THAT IT IS 50 DEGREES OUTSIDE. HOW DOES THIS GET FIXED WHEN WE CAN NOT PURCHASE THE PART NEEDED. OTHERS BOUGHT THE WHOLE NEW DRIVERS SIDE MIRROR THAT HOUSES THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR THAT IT 'THE PROBLEM'. AND WITHIN MONTHS, THIS SENSOR DOES THE SAME THING AND STARTS READING THE WRONG TEMPERATURE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. THE TEMPERATURE IS READING WRONG 100 PERCENT OF THE TIME. WEATHER MOVING OR STATIONARY. OR PARKED IN THE GARAGE OR OUTSIDE.
