2019 Toyota RAV4 Complaint Log

PURCHASED RAV4 HYBRID IN MAY AND NOTICED THE CAR WOULD HAVE A SQUEAL/SQUEAK WHEN STARTING. EVENTUALLY WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND WAS 'FIXED' HOWEVER UPON DRIVING OFF I NOTICED THE BREAK ASSIST WAS NOT THE WAY IT WAS. IT WAS DELAYED IN BREAKING ESPECIALLY IF NEEDING TO BREAK SUDDENLY. CURRENTLY IS BEING INSPECTED.

TRANS MISSION JERKS HARD AFTER I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND DRIVE AGAIN.

I CAN ONLY GET ABOUT 10 GALLONS IN THIS 14.5 GALLON TANK. THE GAS PUMPS CLICKS OFF AT 3/4 FULL. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR THE ADVERTISED RANGE OF ABOUT 500-550 AND IT IS NO WHERE NEAR THAT. TOYOTA IS WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW SOME CARS HAVE THE PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY SOME DO NOT.

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.

THE GAS TANK DOES NOT FILL COMPLETELY. IT ONLY TAKES 10 GALLON AS AGAINST THE 14.5 ADVERTISED.

1ST INCIDENT: SITTING AT STOP LIGHT FOR A FEW MINS AS NORMAL. WHEN TIME TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STARTED LURCHING FORWARD IN A HARD JERKING MOTION. 2ND INCIDENT: SLOWER TRAFFIC. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC OR AT SLOWER SPEEDS, ~20-35MPH THE VEHICLE WILL START LURCHING JERKING FORWARD. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. DEALERSHIP RESET INTERNAL COMPUTER, STATING THAT "VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY". NEITHER HAS ISSUE HAS YET TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANY OTHER DRIVERS AT THIS TIME. I DO TRAVEL WITH DOGS WHO ARE HARNESSED AND SEAT-BELTED IN THE BACKSEAT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN TO FLOOR OF CAR IF NOT SEAT-BELTED. FOR MYSELF, I GET TOSSED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES AND HEAD THROWN FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC AND/OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR LURCHING/HARD JERKING FORWARD WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPEN ON DRY CITY STREETS. I WOULD ASSUME DURING THESE INCIDENTS OF THE JERKING FORWARD THAT THE BREAK LIGHTS DO NOT ALERT REAR DRIVERS THAT THE CAR IS IN A STOP/GO MOTION.

GAS TANK SIZE IS 14.5 GAL. BUT ONLY FILLS UP TO 9 GAL. *TR

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.

VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW CONSISTENT FUEL FILL. PUMP OFTEN SHUTS OFF WELL SHORT OF FULL TANK. USUALLY STOPS AROUND 7/8 TANK. ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK FULLY SOMETIMES RESULTS IN FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSISTENTLY FILL THE TANK ANYWHERE NEAR FULL. AFTER A "FILL", I DRIVE 20 OR 30 MILES AND AM ALREADY AT A GAUGE LEVEL OF 3/4 TANK. THIS IS ON A HYBRID, WITH THE COMPUTER SHOWING 40+ MPG. THERE IS A FLAW IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT PREVENTS FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY. MY ESTIMATE IS ROUGHLY 1.5-2 GALLONS BELOW FULL IS WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF.

TWO MONTHS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL PAPER. IN PURSUIT OF THIS, I TALKED TO SHORE TOYOTA THAT THE ENGINE RECALL PAPER HAS ARRIVED IN MY CAR AND I HAVE TO WORK FOR IT, BUT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TILL NOW AND EVEN TODAY IT IS 1/5/21 THE PAPER HAS COME IN ITS FOR THAT, BUT IT IS NOT KNOWN WHEN THE WORK WILL BE DONE. I OFTEN CALL SHORE TOYOTA BUT THEY DON'T ANSWER THE SAME.

BOUGHT NEW FROM DEALER IN 10/19. 14.5 GAL FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT MORE THAN 9.8 GALLONS EVEN AFTER ~20 MILES AFTER IT SHOWS 0 MILES OF RANGE. THIS LEAVES 3-4 GALLONS (>120 MILES OF RANGE) UNAVAILABLE!! NOT AS ADVERTISED. TOYOTA IS AWARE, BUT DOING NOTHING!!!

PURCHASED A NEW 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID AWD XLE ON 10/24/19. FUEL CAPACITY APPEARS TO BE ABOUT 11 GALLONS, AS OPPOSED TO THE 14.5 GALLONS ADVERTISED. I HAVE RUN THE CAR DOWN TO BELOW 10MILES OF RANGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND GET THE SAME RESULT. THIS 25% UNDERSTATEMENT OF FUEL CAPACITY TRANSLATES INTO ROUGHLY 100 MILES LESS OF TOTAL RANGE THAN THE ADVERTISED 537-595 MILES OF RANGE. SEE ATTACHED PICS.

I CAN'T COMPLETELY FILL UP MY 2019 RAV4 HYBRID FUEL TANK. THE FUEL PUMP ALWAYS STOPS WAY TOO EARLY AT AROUND 11 GALLONS (ESTIMATION), EVEN THOUGH THE CARS FUEL TANK FITS 14.5 GALLONS. SO I CAN ONLY USE AROUND 80%-90% OF MY FUEL TANK CAPACITY. HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION. SEE ATTACHED PICTURE. IT SHOWS THE DIGITAL FUEL LEVEL REPORTED FROM MY CAR TO THE TOYOTA CONNECTED SERVICES AFTER A GAS STOP.

WHEN FILLING MY GAS TANK THE FUEL SYSTEM DOES THE AUTO SHUT OFF BEFORE THE FUEL TANK IS FULL. THE FIRST FEW TIMES I FILLED THE NEW VEHICLE, I PUT THE NOZZLE BACK IN THE PUMP THINKING IT WAS FULL, BUT WHEN I STARTED MY CAR, THE FUEL GAUGE REGISTERED ABOUT 2-3 TICKS BELOW THE FULL LINE, SO MAYBE 7/8 FULL. THE NEXT FEW TIMES I CONTINUED TO FILL WELL PAST THE AUTOMATIC FUEL SHUT OFF AND PUT IN AT LEAST 2-3 GALLONS MORE. THIS GOES AGAINST ENVIRONMENT RECOMMENDATIONS BUT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A FULL TANK OF GAS ON A NEW CAR, NOT JUST 9 GALLON ON A 14.5 GALLON TANK.

THE 2 INCH MULTIFUNCTION DISPLAY ON THE 2019 TOYOTA RAVV4 IS CREATING A DANGEROUS CONDITION. THE GEE-WHIZ FUEL ECONOMY DATA IS PREDOMINANTLY DISPLAYED IN THE CENTER OF THE SCREEN WHILE THE IMPORTANT AND OFTEN USED CRUISE CONTROL SPEED SETTING IS IN A BARELY READABLE SIZED FONT. OTHER MORE USEFUL DATA IS ALSO DISPLAYED IN VERY SMALL FONT. TOYOTA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPROGRAM AND UPDATE THE DISPLAY.

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.

MY FUEL TANK IS 14.5 GALLONS AND IT WILL NOT ALLOW MORE THEN 9.5 GALLONS INTO IT EVEN WHEN VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN DOWN TO EMPTY. THIS HAS BEEN CONSISTENT SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE IN AUGUST. THE TANK SIZE AND MPG ARE INCORRECT IN REGARDS TO WHAT WAS ADVERTISED.

RAV4 2019 HYBRID WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO FILL IT PAST APPROXIMATELY 10 GALLONS. WHEN I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP THEY INFORMED THEY WERE AWARE OF SAID ISSUE AND THAT TOYOTA CURRENTLY DOESN'T NOT HAVE A FIX OR ACTIVE RECALL FOR THE ISSUE. WHEN I SEARCHED INDEPENDENTLY I NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE SIGHT THIS SAME ISSUE.

MY 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID XLE (PURCHASED IN CA) WILL NOT ALLOW A FULL FUEL TANK FILLUP. ONCE THE 'EMPTY' WARNING COMES ON, THE 14.5 GALLON TANK WILL ONLY ACCEPT ABOUT 9 TO 10 GALLONS BEFORE SHUTTING OFF. EVEN IF YOU SLOWLY 'TRICKLE' THE GAS IN, IT SHUTS OFF BEFORE 11 GALLONS ARE IN. CAR IS NOT PROVIDING ANYWHERE NEAR THE AVERAGE ESTIMATED DRIVING RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 560 MILES, AS ADVERTISED BY TOYOTA. THIS REDUCES CREDIBILITY OF THE TOYOTA FUEL STATUS WARNING, MAKING IT MORE LIKELY DRIVERS MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL ON BUSY FREEWAY OR REMOTE HIGHWAY. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND TO TOYOTA NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND RECEIVED A CASE #.

THE GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL COMPLETELY, EVEN WHEN FUEL GAGE SAYS 30 MILES TO EMPTY AND LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK REMAINING. I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL MAX 9.5 GALLONS (SPEC SAYS TANK IS 14.5 GALLONS). AFTER PUMP CLICKS SUGGESTING THE TANK IS "FULL", THE FUEL GAUGE IN THE CAR DOES NOT REACH "FULL" MARKING, RATHER HALF WAY BETWEEN 3/4 AND A FULL TANK. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS ALTHOUGH SEVERAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM BOTH TO NHTSA AND TOYOTA CORP. THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY FIXES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS IMPAIRS THE USE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE AMOUNT OF GALLONS IN THE CAR IS NEVER ACTUALLY KNOWN, AS WELL AS AFFECTS THE MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR AS IT IS MARKETED AT 14.5 GALLON TANK WITH ~500 MILES PER TANK. I CAN BARELY GET 380 MILES A TANK. THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED A MONTH AGO, BRAND NEW. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL STOPS AT THE GAS STATION AS MY DAILY COMMUTE IS APPROXIMATELY 90 MILES ROUNDTRIP. THE TANK HAS NOT FILLED COMPLETELY ONCE SINCE THE PURCHASE OF THIS CAR.

THE FUEL TANK WAS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY WHEN PICKED UP FROM THE DEALER WITH AN ESTIMATED RANGE OF ~550 MILES. SINCE DRIVING AWAY FROM THE DEALER, I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO ADD MORE THAN 9-10 GALLONS INTO THE "14.5" GALLON TANK, EVEN WELL AFTER THE "LOW FUEL" LIGHT HAS COME ON. EVEN WITH EXTRA TOPPING OFF AND THE NEEDLE READS AS CLOSE TO FULL AS I CAN GET IT, NOW THE ESTIMATED RANGE TENDS TO BE ~350-370 MILES. I HAVE FILLED UP THE TANK ABOUT 10 TIMES NOW AND THIS OUTCOME IS CONSISTENT.

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.

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"

WHEN STARTING THE CAR AFTER 2 OR 3 DAYS NOT BEING DRIVEN AND SUBSEQUENTLY PUT IT IN REVERSE, THERE IS A VERY LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT, MAYBE AT THE TRANSMISSION. ONCE YOU SHIFT TO "DRIVE", THE NOISE DISAPPEAR. THE RAV4 HAS ONLY 74 MILES.

MTE, GALLONS TO FILL UP, DON'T EQUAL THE MILES TO GO AFTER A FILL UP. HAVE HAD CAR A YEAR, HAVE ONLY FILLED UP ONCE MORE THAN 10 OR SO GALS, DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES TO EMPTY SHOW ON GAUGES. DON'T GET ANYWHER NEAR THE MILES DRIVEN THAT WAS TOLD TO ME. I FILL UP, USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 9-10 GLS. WILL HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES TO DRIVE ON THAT TANK OF GAS.DRIVING LOCAL AND ON HIGHWAY.

ONLY ABLE TO PUT 9 OR 10 GALLONS INTO THE GAS TANK WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INDICATING EMPTY. THE TANK IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 14.5-GALLON CAPACITY. FACTORY REFUSES TO OFFER ANY CONSIDERATION FOR THIS ANNOYING ISSUE.

UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK TO IT'S FULLEST CAPACITY. I FIND I HAVE FILL UP VERY SLOWLY, QUITS FILLING ON AN EMPTY TANK AT 8 GALLONS, ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET 10 GALLONS IN. FUEL TANK NEVER WILL SHOW THAT IT IS FULL. ALSO, THE CAR WILL TELL ME HOW MANY MILES I HAVE LEFT TO DRIVE. 2 TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER 500 MILES BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT IS UNDER 450. I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE I EVER GET THE FULL MILES LISTED.

DRIVING AT A SPEED OF 60MPH I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE ARISE FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SMELLED A BURNING (ELECTRICAL) SMELL. I CUT OFF THE HEATER AND SEAT WARMERS AS A PRECAUTION, SLOWING THE CAR TO A SPEED OF 30-40MPH. APPROX. 2 MINUTES LATER, MY DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH ABOUT 4 CONSECUTIVE WARNINGS 1. ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTIONED. 2. LANE TRACING ASSIST HAS MALFUNCTIONED. 3. REAR CAMERAS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. 4. PARKING ASSIST WITH AUTOMATED BRAKING (PA W/AB) HAS MALFUNCTIONED. BRAKES CONTINUED TO ENGAGE, BUT FELT STIFF AS THOUGH THEY MAY STOP WORKING. WAS ABLE TO SAFELY TAKE BACK-ROADS TO MY LOCAL DEALER (VANCOUVER MCCORDS TOYOTA) WHERE IT IS STILL UNDERGOING INVESTIGATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY FILL UP TO THREE FOURTHS OF A TANK WITH FUEL AS OPPOSED TO THE FULL TWELVE GALLONS THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MAGIC TOYOTA (21300 HWY 99, EDMONDS, WA 98026, 206-395-9200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REACHING ITS FULL FUEL CAPACITY. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 1910072815. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER THAT HE WOULD LOOK INTO HAVING THE VEHICLE PURCHASED BACK DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 350.

THIS HYBRID CAR HAS A 14.5 GALLON GAS TANK AND ON A FULL TANK, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET 570-580 MILES UNTIL EMPTY BASED ON AN AVERAGE OF 39-41 MPG. WHEN GAS TANK IS ON "E" WITH ONLY 10 MILES TO EMPTY, THE TANK WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF GAS BEFORE SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF. IT WILL NOT TAKE A FULL 14.5 GALLONS OF GAS, LEAVING MY TANK ABOUT 4.5 GALLONS SHORT OF ITS CAPACITY, WHICH WOULD BE ABOUT 180 MILES I AM NOT GETTING ON A FULL TANK OF GAS. WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED UP COMPLETELY, IT IS ONLY READIING THAT I HAVE ABOUT 400-450 MILES TO EMPTY AND THAT SHOULD BE READING 570-580 SO RIGHT THERE, IT PROVES THE GAS TANK IS NOT FILLING UP COMPLETELY. EVEN GOING BY THE REDUCED READING OF 400-450 MILES, I ONLY SEEM TO BE GETTING 350-370 MILES TO EMPTY. ALTHOUGH DRIVING CONDITIONS CAN VARY THIS STATISTIC, IT SEEMS WAY OFF CONSIDERING MOST OF MY DRIVING IS LOCAL AND NON-HIGHWAY. FOR EXAMPLE, I WAITED UNTIL GAS TANK HAD ONLY 10 MILES TO GO BEFORE BEING EMPTY, FILLED IT UP COMPLETELY (PUMP WOULD NOT ALLOW MORE THAN 10 GALLONS) AND DROVE ON THAT TANK OF GAS UNTIL ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. I DROVE 352 MILES ON THAT FULL TANK AND BASED ON THAT WITH THE CAR HAVING A 14.5 GALLON CAPACITY TANK, THAT ONLY AVERAGES 24 MPG BUT SINCE I COULD ONLY FILL IT UP APPROXIMATELY 10.5 GALLONS, IT WORKS OUT TO 33.6 MPG, STILL BELOW THE STATED AVERAGE. SO, I AM NOT GETTING THE STATED MPG THAT I SHOULD AS WELL AS NOT BEING ABLE TO FILL UP GAS TANK TO 14.5 GALLON CAPACITY.

THE FUEL TANK WILL NOT FILL UP COMPLETELY. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE IS READING EMPTY THE FUEL TANK WILL ONLY ACCEPT 8-9 GALLONS OF FUEL. THE FUEL TANK IS 14.5 GALLONS. TO TRY AND FILL THE TANK I HAVE TO REPEATEDLY TRY TO TOP IT OFF. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO REFUEL.

ENGINE STALL AND RUN ROUGH WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY

GAS TANK IS SUPPOSED TO BE 14.5 GALLONS BUT UNABLE TO FILL MORE THAN 10 GALLONS AT A TIME (FROM ALMOST EMPTY). AFTER FILLING UNTIL THE GAS PUMP STOPS (ON ITS OWN), GAUGE READS APPROX 1 LINE BELOW F. WHEN STARTING WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS, I CAN ONLY GET 370 MILES BEFORE THE GAS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AND GAUGE APPEARS CLOSE TO EMPTY.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HEARD A LOUD POP ABOVE MY HEAD. THEN WHAT SOUNDED LIKE PEBBLES HITTING MY ROOF SO I SLID MY SUNROOF VISOR BACK A LITTLE AND I COULD SEE THE BROKEN GLASS.

UNABLE TO FILL TANK TO CAPACITY. TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS BUT I CAN ONLY GET AT MOST 10 GALLONS IN WHEN RANGE OF LESS THAN 40 MILES AND GAUGE READS LESS THAN A QUARTER OF A TANK. AT 40 MILES TO THE GALLON, THERE SHOULD BE ROOM FOR 13.5 GALLONS. RANGE ONLY INCREASES TO NOT MORE THAN 475 MILES WHEN "FULL" WHEN I SHOULD GET 550 AS ADVERTISED. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN AUGUST AND HAVE HAD THE SAME EXPERIENCE AT THE GAS STATION WITH 4 FILL UPS. LOOKS LIKE MANY 2019 HYBRID RAV4 OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER WHO CLAIMED TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THIS.

TOYOTA'S 2019 RAV4 LIMITED HYBRID BOASTS OF HAVING A 14.5 GALLON FUEL CAPACITY. WHEN I FILL MY TANK, I CAN FILL IT TO 10 GALLONS MAXIMUM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AARON ENGLAND, INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. HE STATED THAT NO CARS CAN BE FILLED TO CAPACITY. I AM NOT WANTING TO FILL TO CAPACITY. TOYOTA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS INACCURATE AND SAYS MY CAR EITHER HAS 3-4 GALLONS, BUT THE SENSOR CAN NOT DETECT IT OR I HAVE A TANK SMALLER THAN CLAIMED. THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE. WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE, IT STOPS FUELING WHEN A LITTLE MORE THAN AN 1/8 OF A TANK SHOWS REMAINS UNTIL FULL. ONLINE, THERE IS MUCH EVIDENCE FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO OFFER HELP.

TOYOTA ADVERTISES THE RANGE OF ITS 2019 RAV4 HYBRID AS AROUND 550 TO 590 MILES ON A FULL TANK OF GAS, OF WHICH THE CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS. HOWEVER, I'VE BEEN DRIVING MINE FOR 2 MONTHS NOW AND HAVE YET TO REACH THE 400 MILES MARK EVEN WHEN AVERAGING 40MPG FUEL ECONOMY. THE FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS STOPS AT OVER ONE BAR FROM FULL. THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN DEFECT AND HAS BEEN WIDELY DISCUSSED AND COMPLAINT ON MANY FORUMS. SO FAR TOYOTA AND ITS DEALERSHIPS HAVE FAILED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND THE MOST COMMON ANSWER CUSTOMERS USUALLY GET IS "THERE'S NO SUCH PROBLEM, TRY ANOTHER GAS PUMP". THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE COMING FROM SUCH A LARGE AND REPUTABLE AUTOMAKER SUCH AS TOYOTA!

YOU CAN'T FILL IT UP ALL THE WAY IT SHUTS OFF AND IS NOT FULL BY SEVERAL GALLONS. ONE TIME WE TRIED PUTTING THE FUEL IN VERY SLOWLY AND IT OVERFILLED THE TANK AND SPILLED OUT! IT HAS BEEN IMPOSSIBLE TO FILL UP SINCE PURCHASE

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK ON MY RAV4. IT IS A 14 GALLON GAS TANK AND I'M ONLY ABLE TO EVER FIT 9-9.5 GALLONS OF GAS IN IT. I HAVE SPILLED GAS OUT OF THE VEHICLE TRYING TO FULLY FILL THE VEHICLE AND IT STILL WILL NOT SHOW AS FULL ON THE GAS GAUGE. I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE OVER 500+ MILES IN RANGE AND NOW WHEN I FILL IT THE RANGE ONLY UPDATES TO 380 MILES OR SO. BETWEEN SPILLING GAS AT THE PUMP AND NOT KNOWING THE ACTUAL RANGE BEFORE I RUN OUT OF GAS, THIS IS A PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY WHICH CAUSED A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER RICK MCGILL'S TOYOTA (3145 AIRPORT HWY, ALCOA TN) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMPS OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.*DT*JB

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

FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL UP TO MAXIMUM AND LEAVES ABOUT 3-4 GALLONS SHORT. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE LATE 2019. I'VE BROUGHT THIS US TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, IT MAXES OUT AT 9-10GAL WHEN THE TANK IS SUPPOSEDLY A 14+ GALLON TANK. I WILL WAIT UNTIL 20 MILES TO EMPTY AND THEN FILL UP AND IT STILL ONLY FILLS UP PARTIALLY.

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.

BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN 20 MILES AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP, AT LOW SPEED, IN A PARKING LOT, ALARMS BEGAN GOING OFF INDICATING NUMEROUS SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS INCLUDING; LOW BRAKE POWER, ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, SECONDARY COLLISION BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, PRE-COLLISION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, ULTRASONIC DETECTING & RANGING SYSTEM MALFUNCTION.

THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE REFUELED FULLY WITHOUT TOPOFF, REDUCING THE DRIVING RANGE OF THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE IS ONLY ABLE TO FILL UP TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK, REGARDLESS OF WHICH GAS STATION I GO TO. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE DAY 1 AND VARIES BY 1 OR 2 GALLONS. BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO GET A FULL TANK. I CAN USUALLY ONLY GET 9-11 GALLONS OF GAS WHEN THE CAR IS EMPTY. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED A SIGNIFICANT DROP OFF IN FUEL ECONOMY RECENTLY 39MPG VS 32MPG.

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.

FUEL TANK IS UNABLE TO FILL TO CAPACITY-!4 1/2 GALLON TANK -CAN ONLY FILL. 8 OR 9 GALLONS.*DT*JB *TR

WHEN TEST DRIVING VEHICLE FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY BUT NOT BEING A MECHANIC THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY IMAGINATION. THEY WOULD NOT PUT A DEFECTIVE CAR ON THE LOT FOR SALE RIGHT? WRONG!!!! WHEN I DROVE IT AFTER GOT IT HOME IT WAS OBVIOUS THERE WAS A BIG PROBLEM. EVERY TIME I STOPPED AT A LIGHT THEN TOOK FOOT OFF OF BRAKE TO ACCELERATE CAR WOULD LURCH, SHAKE, SHUDDER BEFORE I EVEN GOT MY FOOT ON ACCELERATOR. THOUGHT IS WAS GOING TO DIE. WOULD HESITATE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE WHEN PUT IT IN PARK TO TURN OFF ENGINE SAME LURCH SHAKE SHUDDER AND SOUNDS LIKE ENGINE DIED. CAR HAS 61 MILES ON IT. WAS DEFECTIVE WHEN SHIPPED FROM FACTORY TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER, SAID THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. TOYOTA AWARE BUT HAS NO FIX IN PLACE. DEALER CLAIMS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BUT WAIT ON TOYOTA. SO NOW I HAVE A BRAND NEW CAR THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE MAKING PAYMENTS ON WHILE TOYOTA CONTINUES BUSINESS AS USUAL AND MY CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE, AFRAID TO DRIVE IT.
