Consumer Description

I recently purchased new 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum AWD. The deciding factor was the range of 598 miles per fill-up on the advertised 17.1 gallon tank size. However the reality after many fillips is only about 14 gallons for maximum of 420 miiles range. I’ve gone to different gas stations in area and none of them would allow me to pump any further gas in than about 14 gallons. When I googled this issue I found that it is a very common issue among all owners of hybrid highlanders yet Toyota customer service won’t acknowledge this known and heavily reported issue. This is especially annoying when that range is the singular reason I decided to buy this brand/model over other brand/models I was comparing against. Please investigate this issue and make Toyota fix this issue through factory recall. Reference the 2019 Toyota Rav-4 Hybrid which also has this issue that Toyota has finally acknowledged and beginning to fix.
