I have a 98 Olds Silhouette van. There is a digital readout inside that gives the outside air temperature. The reading is not accurate, however; not even close to the actual outside temperature. One dealer said it would cost about $400 to have it repaired. Is this a reasonable estimate of the cost? I am a mom and a schoolteacher and know nothing about cars. Thank you for your help.
