My car was displaying an outside temp of 102, so the climate control was blasting the AC when it didn't need to. I know the outside temp will usually read a couple of degrees high because of heat from the road, but it shouldn't be off by that much.
I have the opposite problem in winter - it blasts the heat way more than it needs to for the temperature I have it set at. I've had multiple cars with climate control, and it's the first time I've seen this issue. Any suggestions?

The AC has sensors for inside the cabin that are independent from the one in the dash. The dash is just for the outside temperature, and if you park facing the sun, it will hit the sensor straight and show ridiculous 110+ temperatures. Don't mind the temperature number on the AC console. Just adjust it for more/less air volume based on your needs at the moment.
