Outside temperature reading

Has anyone noticed the car outside, ambient temp, is way off, only to drop down to the proper temp after driving for a few minutes? Normally I don't really care about it, but since it is getting a bit cooler in the early morning, that higher temp throw off the reading, hence when I used my remote starter, the cabin doesn't warm up at all. This doesn't happened to my 1st gen tlx but on the '23, it was off around 9°.
There is a manual adjustment but that's only give my up to 5°, but even then it wasn't behaving properly

Haven't brought up to my dealership yet, just want to see if any of you seeing the same or my sensor is bad and need a trip to the dealer.

I've also noticed this in my 23 type S. From what I have noticed is that it remembers the temp from the last drive, so if it was 80 during the day and I start the car at night while it's 50, it will still show 80s. I didn't have this issue in my 21 advance.

Oh man that's not right at all lol. Been googling around, seem like the sensor location causes this issue. Wondering if the sensor can be relocating elsewhere lol.
