2019 TOYOTA RAV4 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV-4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAD BECOME UNABLE TO FILL HER GAS TANK TO CAPACITY. DUE TO FAILURE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE ACTUAL FUEL LEVEL INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO NORTH HILLS TOYOTA 7401 MCKNIGHT RD, PITTSBURGH, PA 15237 WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT SHE WOULD HAVE TO ALLOW A CERTAIN WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE BEFORE PLACING FUEL INTO THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER TO HAVE THEM PERFORM THE SAME PROCEDURE AND THE FAILURE OCCURRED AGAIN. THE DEALER REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *LN *JS

LIKE MANY OTHERS WHO BOUGHT A NEW GENERATION RAV4 HYBRID (IT SEEMS TO AFFECT ALL TRIMS AS LONG AS IT'S HYBRID), I CANNOT GET MORE THAN MAYBE 10 GALLONS IN THE TANK. ADVERTISED IS 14.5 GALLONS, AND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A 4+ GALLON RESERVE IN A PRIVATE VEHICLE, EVEN COMMERCIAL VEHICLES. TOYOTA RESPONDED WITH "CALL US" AFTER 5 OR 6 EMAILS. I DRAINED IT OF FUEL DRIVING FROM TEXAS TO CALIFORNIA, LET IT RUN DRY UNTIL IT WAS ELECTRIC ONLY, THEN TOOK IT TO THE GAS STATION (LITERALLY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM WHERE I WAS), AND IT STILL CLICKED THE PUMP OFF - TO FULL (THOUGH IT DOESN'T READ FULL ANYMORE, IT SITS JUST BELOW "F") - AT JUST OVER 10 GALLONS. I HAVE SQUEEZED EVERY LAST DROP I COULD ONCE AND IT DIDN'T EVEN READ 11 GALLONS FROM EMPTY, THOUGH I DON'T NORMALLY EVER DO...

2 ISSUES WITH THIS BRAND NEW 2019 XSE HYBRID RAV4. 1) FUEL TANK NEVER FILLS UP AS GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AT 9.5 (3/4 FULL) AT GAS STATION. THIS IS NOW ALL OVER THE NEWS AND BLOGS, AND TOYOTA SEEMS TO HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE, BUT NO SOLUTION YET . 2) AFTER TOYOTA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED BRAKE RECALL SERVICE ON DEC. 8, 2020 (AT LESS THAN 2K MILES), THE FRONT BRAKES WHISTLES OR SQUEAKS LOUDLY WHENEVER I APPLY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED (AT OR LESS THAN 5 MPH). WHEN I ARRIVED AT DEALERSHIP TO SPEAK WITH SERVICE MANAGER (SCOTT), TECHNICIAN WAS ASSIGNED AND RODE WITH ME AND CONFIRMED THE LOW BRAKE SPEED SQUEAL/WHISTLE. AFTER 2-3 HOURS, A DIFFERENT TECHNICIAN WHO WAS ASSIGNED TO LOOK AT IT CLAIMS "NO NOISE OBSERVED AFTER TEST DRIVE, OPERATING AS DESIGNED." FUNNY HOW THEY ASSIGNED 2 DIFFERENT TECHNICIANS - ONE WHO OBSERVED THE NOISE UPON ARRIVAL,...

OWNERS MANUAL STATES GAS TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS. HOWEVER WHEN TANK IS EMPTY I AM ONLY ABLE TO GET 10 TO 11 GALLONS INTO VEHICLE BEFORE THE PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THE VEHICLE'S RANGE IS ADVERTISED TO BE 550+ MILES (DEPENDING ON CURRENT MPG), HOWEVER THE TRIP COMPUTER ONLY SHOWS AN ESTIMATED RANGE BASED ON A 10/11 GAL TANK.

WHEN THE 14.5 GAL TANK IS EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT ON AND NO MILEAGE REMAINING SHOWING E YOU CAN ONLY FILL 8 - 8.5 GAL BEFORE PUMP SHUTS OFF. TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED PAST THAT AMOUNT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF AROUND 200 - 250 MILES FROM THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE PER TANK SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE 6 - 6.5 GAL THAT THE TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX, TOYOTA REPORTS A FIX OR TIMELINE IS UNKNOWN AND THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE.

FUEL TANK FOR THIS 2019 RAV4 HYBRID WILL NOT ACCEPT FULL TANK OF GAS. ONE MUST TOP OFF AND POTENTIALLY SPILL FUEL TO GET IT TO AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. TANK CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS WITH RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 550-580 MILE. ONLY CAN HAVE GAS FILL TO ABOUT 9 GALLON WITH RANGE OF 360 MILES. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR A OTHERWISE GOOD CAR. IT HAS BEEN ON GOING SITUATION GETTING WORSE SINCE LAST YEAR.

THE GAS TANK OF MY 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 LE HYBRID WILL ONLY FILL TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK. MY RAV4 HAS A 14.5 GALLON FUEL TANK. WHEN I AM NEAR ZERO MILES OF RANGE REMAINING, I OFTEN GET LESS THAN 8 GALLONS AT FILL UP. THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE. THE TANK READ FULL ONLY ONCE, WHEN THE DEALER FILLED THE TANK PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME. I DON'T LIKE TO DRIVE WITH LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK OF GAS, AS GAS IS USED TO COOL THE FUEL PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN MOST FUEL STOPS ONLY ACCEPTING BETWEEN 4 AND 6 GALLONS OF GAS. I RECENTLY TOOK A 3000 MILE TRIP THAT WAS 95% HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THAT WAS MY EXPERIENCE DURING THE TRIP.

GAS TANK DOES NOT FILL FULLY. ONLY FILLS TO 10 GALLONS EACH TIME I FILL IT UP, WHICH ONLY GIVES ME AROUND 400 MILES OF DRIVING.

I'M UNABLE TO PUT NO MORE THAN 10 GALLON OF GAS EVEN THO MAX GAS TANK IS 14.5. A LOT LESS MILEAGE THAN TOYOTA CLAIM.

PURCHASED A 2019 RAV4 XSE ON JULY 6TH 2019. THE FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE. THE GAUGE NEVER DISPLAYS MORE THAN 3/4 - 7/8 OF A TANK. ATTEMPTS TO TOP OFF LEADS TO FUEL OVERFLOW. DEALERSHIPS ALL PROVIDE A "WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS" DESPITE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS.

BOUGHT A 2019 TOYOTA RAV 4 HYBRID XLE SEPTEMBER 27 2019.. REPORTED GAS FILLING PROBLEM TO TOYOTA ON DECEMBER 23 2019 AFTER COMING TO WITS END ON PUTTING GAS IN VEHICLE..CAN ONLY GET ABOUT 9 GALLONS INTO THE 14,5 GALLON TANK. WHEN I TRY TO GET MORE GAS IN IT IT BACK SPLASHES AND SPILLS OUT WHICH IS A MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY ISSUE.. ALSO HAD DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME SO THEY SAY SO HAVE REQUESTED FULL REFUND ON VEHICLE AS ONE OF THE DEALER OPTIONS GIVEN ME. SO I HAVE THREE CASE NUMBERS. ONE THRU TOYOTA MAIN HEADQUARTERS THEN ONE THRU DEALER THEN ANOTHER FOR REFUND REQUEST THRU TOYOTA.. ON ANOTHER NOTE I ALSO REPORTED TO TOYOTA THAT MY GAS GAUGE GETS STUCK ON FULL AFTER GOING DOWN PROPERLY FOR 100 PLUS MILES DRIVEN THEN THE GAS GAUGE ALL OF A...

I CANNOT COMPLETELY FILL UP THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, I CAN ONLY GET 9-10 GALLONS IN. THE SPECS SAY IT HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THAT MUCH FUEL INTO THE TANK. THE CRUISING RANGE IS LESS THAN 400 MILES, FAR LESS THAN WHAT IS ADVERTISED. I'VE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE SINCE OCTOBER 2019 AND AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT "TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING IT"

I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA HYBRID. THE TANK CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY FILLED. IT CAN LEAVE AROUND FOUR GALLONS UNFILLED. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FILL IT IS TO HAVE THE NOZZLE SLIGHTLY OUT SIDE OF THE FILLER NECK AND PUMP A A SLOW RATE. WHILE THIS WORKS, IT TAKES TIME AND IT IS NOT VERY ENVIRONMENTLY FRIENDLY.

WHILE FEELING THE GAS, AT ALMOST EMTPY, I DIDN,'T WENT ABOVE THE 10 GALLONS. THIS REQUIERED ME TO GO MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IO THE GASTANK. MOREOVER, THE GAS RANGE HAS DECREASED FROM ALMOST 500 MILES TO LESS THAN 380 MILES IN RANGE FROM 2 MONTHS AGO TILL NOW. THE MILAGE OF THE VEHICLE IS LESS AROUND 2,800 MILES. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN AUGUST OF 2019

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF BEFORE THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED. OCCURS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

WHEN FUELING, THE TANK WILL NOT COMPLETELY FILL. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE TO FILL VERY SLOWLY THE TANK OVER FILLS AND YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM.

FUEL TANK WILL NOT FILL CORRECTLY. IF I OVER FILL IT AFFECTS THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM OF THE RA 4 HYBRID. HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO RUN OUT OR GASOLINE.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEPT MORE THAN 10 GALLONS OF FUEL AND MILEAGE RANGE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN EXPECTED/ADVERTISED ON A 14.5 CAPACITY TANK

WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IS NEARLY EMPTY, MY VEHICLE WILL ONLY ACCEPT ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF FUEL UNTIL PUMP SHUT-OFF. AS A RESULT MY VEHICLE FAILS TO MEET TOYOTA MILEAGE RANGE SPECIFICATIONS OF 580 MILES AND ONLY MAKES ABOUT 400 MILES. MOREOVER, IF TRYING TO FILL UP WITH 15 GALLONS OF FUEL AND GOING BEYOND PUMP SHUT-OFF THERE IS A RISK OF OVERFILL AND FIRE HAZARD. KOONS DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.

THE VEHICLE'S LISTED FUEL TANK CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO ADD MORE THAN 9.5 GALLONS EVEN THOUGH THE FUEL GARAGE WAS REGISTERING EMPTY AND THE COMPUTER WAS SHOWING 14 MILES TO EMPTY. TOYOTA AND THE DEALERSHIPS KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE SUMMER OF 2019 YET CONTINUED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT INFORMING CUSTOMERS OF THE ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK WITH 14.5 GALLONS EVEN WHEN EMPTY. MAXIMUM AMOUNT OF GAS THAT CAN BE FILLED IS APPROXIMATELY 10 GALLONS EVEN WITH LOW FUEL LIGHT ON. COMMON ISSUE MENTIONED ON NUMEROUS ONLINE RESOURCES.

I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 XSE HYBRID. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW WITH ROUGHLY 300 MILES ON IT AND SINCE THEN HAVE PUT ON AN ADDITIONAL 5700. I BOUGHT IT IN NOVEMBER AND IT IS NOW FEBRUARY. I WAS INFORMED AND RESEARCHED TOLD ME THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS 14.5 GALLONS. YET, EVERY TIME I GO TO FILL UP THE TANK ONCE THE LIGHT HAS CAME ON, I CAN ONLY GET ROUGHLY 8.5-9 GALLONS OF FUEL IN AND THEN THE PUMPS SHUT OFF. I HAVE FILLED UP MORE THAN 15 TIMES AND EVERY SINGLE TIME AT NUMEROUS DIFFERENT PUMPS, THIS SAME THING HAPPENS. I AM ABLE TO SQUEEZE IN ROUGHLY ANOTHER 2-3 GALLONS BUT I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYWHERE CLOSE TO 13 GALLONS LET ALONE THE ADVERTISED 14.5. WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET A MAX OF 580 MILES PER TANK AND THE AVERAGE I GET WITH THIS LESS AMOUNT...

OUR NEW IN AUGUST OF 19 HYBRID RAV4 HAS THE FUEL PROBLEM THAT IT APPEARS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS DO. IT HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK, BUT THE SYSTEM WON'T ALLOW YOU TO FILL THE TANK. AT EVERY GAS STATION, THE PUMP IS INITIALLY SHUT OFF WITH MANY GALLONS LEFT TO GO TO FILL THE TANK. THIS LEADS TO A SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE TRICKLE FILL TO GET IT CLOSE TO FULL. TRICKLE A LITTLE IN, THE VAPOR SYSTEM SHUTS IT OFF---AND DO THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU FEEL YOU ARE CLOSE TO FULL. IT'S EASY TO OVERFILL AND EASY TO SPILL GAS ONTO THE GROUND WHILE DOING SO. WE STARTED AN OPEN CASE ON THIS WITH TOYOTA WITHIN A FEW MONTHS OF NEW LAST FALL, AND TO DATE THEY STILL HAVE NO FIX FOR THE ISSUE. IT APPEARS SIMILAR TO A BLADDER PROBLEM THEY HAD WITH PRIUS...

UNABLE TO FILL 14.5 GALLONS AS ADVERTISED.MAX FILL IS 11 GALLONS. BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONTINUE SAYING THE CAR IS FINE AND THAT THERE'S A "RESERVE FUEL" WE CAN'T SEE. THEY ARE UNWILLING TO FIX THIS ISSUE

MY 2019 RAV4 HYBRID HAS A TOYOTA ADVERTISED FUEL TANK CAPACITY OF 14.5 GALLONS. TILL DATE, VIRTUALLY ALL MY FUEL STOPS HAVE RESULTED IN NO MORE THAN 11 GALLONS OF FUEL. I WOULD LIKE TO RAISE THIS MATTER TO NHTSA AND URGE NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE MATTER FURTHER. THE BIGGEST QUESTION I HAVE IS IF THERE IS A LAW OR SAFETY RULE THAT TOYOTA MUST FOLLOW SURROUNDING THIS ISSUE? MY CONCERN IS THAT IF ANY RESIDUAL FUEL (WHICH IN THIS CASE IS GREATER THAN 3 GALLONS), MAY CAUSE SAFETY HAZARDS FOR DRIVERS AND THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

THIS VEHICLE IS A HYBRID. THE GAS TANK IS SUPPOSED 14.5 GALLONS. THE GAS GUAGE NEVER SHOWS AS FULL. THE VEHICLE SHOWED 103 MILES TO EMPTY SO I FILLED IT UP. I COULD ONLY ADD 7.414 GALLONS OF GAS BEFORE THE PUMP STOPPED ON THE 2ND ATTEMPT. IT CLICKED OFF JUST A LITTLE OVER 7 GALLONS. I PULLED THE NOZZLE OUT OF THE TANK A LITTLE AND WAS ABLE TO GET ABOUT0.4 GALLONS ADDITIONAL IN THE TANK BEFORE IT CUT OFF AGAIN. THE GAS GUAGE STILL SHOWED AS A COUPLE OF LINES BEFORE BEING FILLED YET I COULD GET NO MORE GAS IN THE TANK. ALSO, IT ONLY SHOWED MY VEHICLE RANGE AS 419 MILES. AT 40+ MPG AND A 14.5 GALLON TANK, IT SHOULD SHOW OVER 580 MILES TO EMPTY. THERE IS DEFINETELY AN ISSUE WITH THIS GAS TANK. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES OF THE BEFORE FILL UP, AFTER...

FUEL TANK IS DEFECTIVE. DOES'T ACCEPT A FULL TANK OF GAS. 3/4 AT MOST BEFORE PUMP SHUTS OFF. NOT GETTING MILES PER TANK/EFFICIENCY THAT WAS ADVERTISED. FILED A CASE WITH TOYOTA AND DEALER BUT NO FIX AVAILABLE. PROBLEM STARTED AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT IN MAY 2019.

WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP WILL STOP BEFORE THE GAS TANK IS FULL, USUALLY 2-3 GALLONS SHORT OF BEING FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE TANK SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY, 2019. THIS RESULTS IN MORE FREQUENT STOPS AT THE GAS STATION OR MAKING EFFORTS TO TRY TO TOP OFF THE GAS TANK BY TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE GAS BEING PUMPED IN. WITH A VERY SLOW RATE, THE GAS PUMP MAY NOT SHUT OFF THEN LEADING TO FUEL SPILLAGE.

AFTER THE LOW FUEL WARNING SYSTEM COMES ON THE TANK WILL ONLY TAKE BETWEEN 9.2 TO 9.7 GALLONS. THE FUEL TANK IS A 14.5 GALLON TANK AND SHOULD NOT NEED FILLING UNTIL THE VEHICLE GOES OVER 500 MILES. WE USUALLY GET JUST UNDER 400 MILES PER TANK FULL. SOMEHOW THERE IS 5 GALLONS LEFT IN THE TANK WHEN THE LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT COMES ON.

WHENEVER I FILL THE CAR WITH GAS, IT DOESN'T GET COMPLETELY FULL. IT LEAVES THE TANK ABOUT A QUARTER FROM FULL. ALSO, THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE WELL. IT HESITATES.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN LATE AUGUST I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 8 GALLONS OF FUEL INTO THE 14.5 GALLON TANK. DUE TO THIS ISSUE THE CAR HAS ALSO ONLY BEEN SHOWING IT'S GETTING AROUND 25 MPG WHEN IT WAS ADVERTISED BETWEEN 35-40. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING COMPUTER ISSUES AND KEY FOB ISSUES WITH THE CAR. TOYOTA CORPORATE ACKNOWLEDGED SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT HAS NO ETA ON A FIX. I OFTENTIMES DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AS I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT AS THE TANK AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS ARE SO OFF.

MY 2019 RAV4 HYBRID WAS FILLED INITIALLY BY THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP AS PART OF THE PURCHASE, AND WAS GAS GAUGE REGISTERED 'FULL'. EVERYTIME I HAVE FILLED IT AFTER THE FIRST FILL HAS GOTTEN FILLED TO ABOUT 8/10 OF A TANK ON THE GAS GAUGE BEFORE THE GAS NOOZLE CLICKS OFF. I USUALLY FILL UP WHEN MY GAS TANK IS JUST RIGHT ABOVE THE EMPTY GAUGE LINE. THE CAR IS ADVERTISED TO FILL UP TO 14.5 GALLONS

TOYOTA HAS MISLED CONSUMERS WITH 41MPG AND FALSELY STATED THE SIZE OF THE FUEL TANK. IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A 14.5 GALLON TANK, HOWEVER IT WILL ONLY HOLD 10 GALLONS EVEN WHEN COMPLETELY EMPTY. IF I TRY TO PUT IN MORE FUEL IN AFTER 10 GALLONS IT SPITS OUT FUEL AS IF OVER FULL. I BOUGHT THIS HYBRID RAV4 IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE LESS FREQUENT FULL UPS. THIS DEFECT IS CAUSING ME TO FILL UP MORE OFTEN THAN NON HYBRID VEHICLES.

I AM NOT ABLE TO FULLY FILL UP THE FUEL TANK AS EXPECTED BY TOYOTA SPECIFICATIONS. IT CAN PUT BARELY 9 GALLONS (TOYOTA COMMUNICATE TANKS CAN HAVE 15 GALLONS) WHEN THE TANK IS EMPTY AND AFTER THE PUMP STOPS. THE FUEL LEVEL DOES NOT ALWAYS GO TO THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD INDICATOR BUT I CANNOT PUT MORE FUEL SINCE PUMPS STOPS. I TRIED MULTIPLE GAS STATION AND MANY WAYS TO FILL UP THE TANK, THE ISSUE IS ALWAYS THERE. THE CAR RANGE DOES NOT GO OVER 500 MILES WHEN IT IS SOLD TO DO MORE.

UNABLE TO REFILL A FULL TANK. REFILLING WHEN FUEL EMPTY LIGHT ON SHOULD ABLE TO FILL ABOUT 12 US GALLONS ACCORDING TO USER MANUAL BUT THE CAR CONSISTENTLY ABLE TO FILL ONLY 10 US GALLONS WHEN FUEL EMPTY LIGHT IS ON.

THE REPORTED GAS TANK SIZE OF MY 2019 RAV4 LIMITED PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2019 IS RATED FOR 14.5 GALLONS. ON EACH OCCASION OF LOW FUEL, WARNING OR LESS THAN 50 MILES BEFORE EMPTY NOTICE, EACH FILL UP HAS RESULTED IN TEN GALLONS OR LESS. 13 SEP - 528.6 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 9.485 GALS RANGE 534. MPG = 55.7 25 SEP - 418.7 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 10.185 GALS RANGE 579. MPG = 41 7 OCT - 460.8 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 10.343 GALS RANGE 585. MPG = 44 18 OCT - 430 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 10.058 GALS RANGE 577. MPG = 42.7 28 OCT - 423.5 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 9.619 GALS RANGE 560. MPG = 44 7 NOV - 420.5 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 10.071 GALS RANGE 545. MPG = 41.7 16 NOV - 309.3 MILES DRIVEN FILL UP WAS 7.808...

TWO WEEKS AGO THE CAR CAME ON WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING THE HYBRID SYSTEM HAD FAILED. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED A RELAY VALVE AND SAID THEY HAD BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM IN COLD WEATHER WITH OTHER RAV4 HYBRIDS. NOW TODAY, I WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT WAS LISTING ABOUT 6 ERROR MESSAGES, EVERYTHING FROM THE BRAKE POWER BEING LOW, ENGINE FAILURE, ETC. THE CAR WOULDN'T START AND HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

WHEN REFUELING, THE FUEL TANK NEVER REACHES FULL CAPACITY. FUEL PUMP ALWAYS SHUTS OFF AT ABOUT 3/4 TANK. FUEL TANK ADVERTISED TO HOLD 14.5 GALLONS BUT DOES NO FILL UP PASSED 10 TO 11 GALLONS.

I PURCHASED THE NEW 2019 RAV4 HYBRID ON 11/29/2019 AT PRIME MOTORS IN SACO, MAINE. IT CURRENTLY HAS 725 MILES ON IT. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO FILL IT IT WON'T FILL ALL THE WAY. IT'S ADVERTISED TO HAVE A 14.5 GALLON TANK BUT ONLY HOLDS ABOUT 10 GALLONS. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO KEEP PUMPING AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS IS VERY BAD ADVICE AS IT COULD OVERFLOW AND CAUSE A FIRE.

MY CAR HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK. I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO PUT 8-9 GALLONS MAX INTO MY CAR. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF/READS AS FULL. I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET 500+ MILES IN MY HYBRID WITH A 14.5 GALLON TANK. I AVERAGE 380 MP FILL UP. I PAID BIG MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND WOULD LIKE TOYOTA TO FIX THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM.

THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL UP. IF IT IS DEAD EMPTY, THE MOST WE CAN GET THE TANK TO EXCEPT IS 10 GALLONS. THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSE TO EXCEPT 14.5 GALLONS. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE, WE ARE HAVING TO FILL THE TANK UP MORE OFTEN. THE VEHICLE SPECS STATE IT SHOULD GET 507 MILES PER TANK AND WE GET AROUND 400 MILES PER TANK.

I BOUGHT MY NEW 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID XSE AND TOOK POSSESSION ON JANUARY 3 2020. SINCE THEN, I HAVE REFULED MULTIPLE TIMES AND NOTICED IT WOULD NOT TAKE MORE THAN 9-10 GALLONS OF GAS FROM EMPTY. I FOUND MYSELF REFUELING MORE TIMES THAN MY PREVIOUS VEHICLES. WHEN RESEARCHING PRIOR TO PURCHASE, THE VEHICLE SAYS IT HAS A FUEL CAPACITY OF 14.5 GALLONS AND 580 MILES PER TANK. I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 9-10 GALLONS AND IT HAS ALWAYS SHOWN GAS RANGE IN THE 400 MILES PER TANK. IT HAS NEVER GIVEN ME ANYWHERE CLOSE TO 580 MILES PER TANK. I TOOK IT TODAY TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER CALLING TOYOTA ON JANUARY 30TH AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT ALL CARS HAVE A 4 GALLON RESERVE TANK. THIS WAS THEIR RESPONSE TO THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH I AM SURE NOBODY WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT HOW MANY GALLONS...

VEHICLE DOES NOT FUNCTION AS ADVERTISED, ECM APPEARS TO CHANGE SHIFTING, HYBRID, AND GASOLINE USAGE AT LOWER TEMPS. PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS WITH ANY VISIBILITY REDUCTION, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SUDDENLY BRAKE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR TO NOT BRAKE AT ALL WITH RADAR CRUISE ACTIVE. ALSO HAVE SAME ISSUE AS OTHERS WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL TANK MORE THAN 10 GALLONS OF 14. MILEAGE IS AS LOW AS 24 MPG FOR A WHOLE TANK, DRIVING VERY CONSERVATIVELY.

SINCE PURCHASING 2019 RAV4 HYBRID XLE IN APRIL 2019, FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL TO CAPACITY. FUEL PUMP (REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION I AM AT) SHUTS OFF SEVERAL GALLONS SHORT OF FILLING THE GAS TANK AND THE FUEL INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATES APPROXIMATELY 3/4 FULL. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FUELED. UNABLE TO ATTAIN FUEL RANGE FOR THE VEHICLE DUE TO FUEL TANK UNABLE TO BE FILLED TO CAPACITY UNLESS I FORCE EXTRA GAS IN THE CAR BY CONSISTENTLY TRYING TO "TOP OFF" TO FILL WITH MORE GAS (AS THERE IS STILL EXTRA CAPACITY UPON THE PUMP CLICKING OFF AT FIRST). CONTACTED TOYOTA ABOUT THE ISSUE IN JULY 2019 AND DECEMBER 2019 BUT NO RESOLUTION OR EXPLANATION WAS PROVIDED ON WHY THIS ISSUE IS OCCURRING.

I PURCHASED CAR SEPT 2019, SINCE PURCHASING I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK TO FULL CAPACITY. I ONLY FILL UP 9 GALLONS BEFORE IT KICKS OFF, MY RANGE HAS NEVER BEEN MORE THAN 450 MILES WHEN I WAS TOLD 550 MILES BEFORE FILL UP. THIS APPARENTLY WAS A PROBLEM BEFORE I PURCHASED BY CAR BUT WAS NOT DISCLOSED AT TIME OF PURCHASE. REPORTED TO DEALERSHIP AND JUST KEEP GETTING TOLD WAITING ON A FIX FROM TOYOTA.

TOYOTA ADVERTISED THE 2019 RAV 4 HYBRID AS HAVING A 14.5 GALLON GAS TANK WITH A DRIVING RANGE OF APX. 580 MILES PER TANK. THE TANK ONLY ACCEPTS 10.5 GALLONS AND SHOWS AS FULL AND ONLY HAS A DRIVING RANGE OF 380 TO 420 MILES PER TANK. THE DRIVING RANGE IS ONE OF THE REASONS I PURCHASED THIS CAR OVER ITS COMPETITION.

2019 RAV4 HYBRID XLE. CAR FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL UP COMPLETELY TO THE ADVERTISED 14.5 GALLONS. ONLY ABLE TO GET ABOUT 10/11 GALLONS IN THE TANK EVEN WHEN THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR IS ON. ADDITIONALLY WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH FUEL, WHEN THE PUMP AUTO TURNS OFF BECAUSE THE TANK IS "FULL" THE FUEL LEVER INDICATOR NEEDLE IS NO EVEN CLOSE TO THE "F" MARK. FALSE ADVERTISING BY TOYOTA AND FAILURE TO APPROPRIATELY ADDRESS THE KNOWN PROBLEM.

FUEL SYSTEM DOES NOT HOLD THE AMOUNT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURES SPECIFICATIONS. THIS APPEARS TO CAUSE THE GAS GAUGE TO SHOW INCORRECT, WHICH COULD LEAD TO RUNNING OUT OF GAS. DEALER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS WAS A TOYOTA ISSUE.

2019 RAV4 HYBRID WILL NOT FILL COMPLETELY WHEN THE LOW FUEL WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATES. THE 14. 5 GALLON TANK WILL ONLY TAKE 9.5 TO 9.7 GALLONS LEAVING ABOUT 5 GALLONS IN THE TANK. I AM NOT CERTAIN IF I CAN DRIVE FURTHER USING THE 5 GALLONS OR WOULD BE LEFT SITTING AND "RUN OUT OF FUEL." OTHER 2019 RAV4 HYBRID OWNERS ARE REPORTING A SIMILAR PROBLEM. SO FAR TOYOTA HAS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK. THE RAV4 CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 8500 MILES. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.
