Recreational Vehicle Lpg Tank Valve/gauge Problems of Honda CR-V

The heat does not work properly when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm up the car. The cars temperature gauge only moves towards the center when the car is moving. Once is it half way, a normal car would then produce heat. Not this car! you turn the heat on and the gauge drops all the way down, to nothing! with the heat not working I'm left with windows that are foggy/icy which limits my visibility creating dangerous driving conditions. I noticed tgis sooncas the cold weather came around and its still doing it to this day. I have read multiple forums where so many people have the same problem with 3000-4000 miles on the brand new car. Some people did repairs and still no heat.

Car temperature gauge was not heating up properly. In cold weather when ideling would not move from cold position, therefore produce no heat. When driving it at 35miles an hour gauge would go up some ,and when slowing to 25 miles gauge would drop back down to cold, with no heat. Car would also stall after it was started and left in park when I would get in to put it in drive. This would all happen during cold weather. Honda did the recall because they found the gas and oil mixture problem. Did an oil change and did the recall update on control panel and software. Got the car back and it is still having the same problem with the temperature gauge dropping down to cold and loss of heat,when driving short trips. Honda said they could not figure out how to fix it.

The heat in the car dose not work when it is cold out. Auto start does nothing to warm the vehicle. The vehicle needs to be driving continuously to have the temperature gauge move. Once the gauge is 1/2 way up and I turn on the heat, the gauge drops all the way down. No warm air comes out, also effecting the defroster. If I have ice or fog on my windows the defroster can't keep up severely impairing my vision, not to mention that all passengers in the car are freezing the entire time. This morning the temperature was 9 degrees fahrenheit with a real feel of -10 and during my 30 minute drive to work via a highway, all 4 door windows were fogged over and ice was forming on them and the rear and front windshield have fog and ice on about 50% of them. If not for the seat warmer and the blanket I wrapped myself in for my cummute I would have been frozen. This isn't the first time winter has happened nor the first car that Honda has created. No reason for the heat not to work.

In cold weather - below ~15 degrees, the engine fully warms up at highway speeds but temp drops to below the bottom of the gauge if you exit the highway or get into traffic jam . At less than highway speed/bumper to bumper traffic, heat/defroster not warm enough to keep windshield clear. Glass/wipers ice up.

Fuel is mixing with the engine oil causing the oil level to become high and the oil diluted. On short cold trips, the cab smells of gasoline. I had the oil changed by the dealer and not even 300 miles later, the oil level is high again and the oil smells of gasoline. Additionally, my Cr-v does not heat up properly. When started cold, the temperature gauge on the dash never comes off of cold, no matter how long it idles. It takes at least 5 minutes of driving to register heat. When I remote start my car on cold days, it does not actually heat up the car.
