Q: My temperature gauge reads cold - 2004 Chrysler Sebring
I drove my car for one hour and a half to my destination and one hour and a half back. my temperature needle stayed between C for cold and the next line up, for the entire drive. what is the reason for this? I just had my water pump and timing belt replaced and my thermostat was replaced. I need to know if it's safe to go ahead to continue driving in that state?
My car has 89000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
