Description of the problem	I purchased my 2018 honda cr-v ex-l in december of 2017. I noticed within a couple of weeks that the engine temperature gauge was extremely slow to climb, and oftentimes would "lose" temperature on colder days. I spent time testing the conditions when the temperature gauge would fluctuate so i would have additional information to provide the dealership. I would drive both stop-and-go, as well as on the highway for 15-30 minutes at a time to get the engine temperature normal, and then pull into a parking lot with the engine still running. After about 2-5 minutes, the engine temperature would start to drop, eventually dropping to 1-2 indicator marks on the gauge. I would also no longer have any heat at that point (the hvac system would blow cold). I went through 2 separate dealers troubleshooting this issue. The dealership i purchased the car from had it in service the longest. After multiple days in the shop with no update, i felt they were not making any progress on the issue so i filed a complaint with honda of america. They assigned the issue to one of their customer advocates to oversee this service issue with the car. I was told by honda of america that the issue was referred to the regional manager of support for honda in my area. After some additional time in service, i was told the issue was reviewed w/ honda's technical / engineering team who deemed this as "normal". Last month i came across multiple articles related to a gasoline oil dilution problem in 2017/2018 cr-v's, and a "side effect" of that problem being low engine temperature / loss of engine temperature. I checked the oil dipstick on the vehicle and noticed a very strong smell of gasoline.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
