We study the symmetry behavior of the Gross-Neveu model in three and two dimensions with a random chemical potential. This is equivalent to a four-fermion model with charge conjugation symmetry as well as ${Z}_{2}$ chiral symmetry. At high temperature the ${Z}_{2}$ chiral symmetry is always restored. In three dimensions the initially spontaneously broken charge conjugation symmetry is not restored at high temperature, irrespective of the value of the disorder strength. In two dimensions and at zero temperature the charge conjugation symmetry undergoes a quantum phase transition from a symmetric state (for weak disorder) to a broken state (for strong disorder) as the disorder strength is varied. For any given value of disorder strength, the high-temperature behavior of the charge conjugation symmetry is the same as its zero-temperature behavior. Therefore, in two dimensions and for strong disorder strength the charge conjugation symmetry is not restored at high temperature.
