Default Temperature Guage Acting Up..

Guys I took trip to new york and when you start the engine all the guages work fine but after a while of driving my temperature guage goes down to C when it should be right in between C and H. I stopped at a rest stop and shut of my engine and started it back up and it was fine at first then it went back down.. what could this be.. anyone ever have a similar problem..

Yup I'd say a 95% chance (nonscientific of course) its the temp sensor.

ummm...its been so long I forgot, it wasn't expensive though. Ask the stealership and install it yourself to save a few bucks.
