My 2023 Bronco Badlands is showing an outside temperature that is 20 degrees below actual temperature. Sensor was replaced and now dealer is at a dead end. Anyone else have similar issue and was there a solution?

Well knock on some wood, better known as my head, that I don't have any of the issues you folks are experiencing. I have not had this issue. After the last update the volume on the radio will get louder when I'm on the xway. It jumps 2-3 clicks louder and then it drops back down. I checked and reset the setting for this. Only happens 1-2 times a month.

I had this happen last weekend when offroading. It was reading 64 degrees when it was in the 80s. I've also recently had it read nearly 100 degrees when sitting in the sun when it's in the 70s

Do you have the adaptive speed volume set on? This makes the volume rise as you get going faster. The assumption is that higher speed creates more exterior noise and the volume adjusts to compensate.

Yes, a few have had so far, not sure if I was the 1st or just 1st to post about it. But in my case, it was reading 20-50 degrees higher. Also in my case, and a few others, replacing the temp sensor in the mirror is what fixed it.

You said you took it to the dealer? Because I heard that the dealer might need to reset it using FDRS or something, might being the key word. In my case, simply unplugging the battery while changing out the sensor was all I needed. Been working ever since.

I went off roading this past weekend and my temp read 64 degrees the entire time. The temp was actually over 85. It showed the correct temp after I made a gas pit stop. I figured mud or dirt got on the sensor, and driving for a bit knocked it off.

Now that damn backup camera staying on in 4WL is what really got under my skin 😠
