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.
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.
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.
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 a car has in reserve after the refuel light is on for obvious safety reasons. when i refuled all my previous cars, the capacity was at least what it said on the manual or more. it has never been a difference of over 38% from what the manual says to what this vehicle can actually take when refueling from empty with the refueling warning on and the refueling light on. it is dangerous to try and follow toyota's official fuel capacity and range for this vehicle. if you follow the official range stated by toyota in the manual and vehicle information, drivers can run out of gas thinking the car has actually 14.5 gallons instead of 9-10 and a range of 580 miles instead of the actual 400 mile range. *ln*jb
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 fill up and the gas receipt showing the amount of gas i could get it the tank without risking an overflow. i really have no way of knowing how much gas is in the tank or how far i can expect to drive before running out of gas. i have more instances of this, all showing the same problem.
This vehicle cannot be filled with the amount of gas advertised. it has a 14.5 gallon fuel tank and i have never been able to put more than 10 gallons in it even when the low fuel indicator is on. this leads to dangerous and environmentally unsafe triclkle-filling. this has been a problem since the vehicle was puchased ~6 months ago.
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.
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.
Our rav4 hybrid will rarely fill more than 9-10 gallons in the tank. when the vehicle starts after a new tank has been filled the needle will not be all the way at full. one of the reasons i was sold on the vehicle was it's range, but this tank issue makes it impossible.
Fuel tank capacity not as advertised (14.5 gallons). maximum input is 9-10 gallons after fuel light comes on. vehicle is at 16,000 miles. capacity problem has been consistent for life of the vehicle.
The fuel tank does not fill up to capacity. i am only able to fill ~8 gallons in a tank which has a 14.5 gallon capacity. also, when the low fuel indicator comes on, "miles to empty" reads only about ~30 miles which is incorrect in my opinion. there must be a calibration issue. i took it to the service station and they said there is no fix from toyota. the recent recall affecting 700,000 cars with a fuel pump issue does not include my car (searched by vin) or any rav4 hybrids for that matter. how long is one supposed to wait before hearing back from the manufacturer? i have attached the service appointment confirmation.
New 2019 rav4 hybrid xle with less than 2,500 miles will not fill up all the way when filling with gas. autostops at 3/4 tank and cannot safely fill up the rest of the way.
My 2019 toyota rav4 hybrid gas tank will not accept over 9.5 gallons at any time. even when i have only 50 miles until gas tank empty showing on dashboard. it's a 14.5 gallon tank so this is a problem.
Fuel tank capacity 14.5 gallons can only be filled to 9.5 gallons without aggressive "topping off". in order to avoid possible environmental harm and vehicle emission control damage, topping off not used. however, this leaves the vehicle 5 gallons short of a full tank (about 200 mile range loss)
The gas tank is quoted as having 14.5 gallon capacity and i am only to fill up 10 gallons.
Fuel tank only holds 10 gallons, tank should hold 14 gallons. reduces driving range and time to fuel up - which was the main reason we bought this car. when drove car off dealership lot, driving range was 440 - drove 6 hours without having to fill up. driving range was never more than 340 after that and had to fuel up about every 3 hours. reported to toyota corporate.
Fuel tank will not fill to full causing attendees/user to trickle and attempt to trick the vehicle to accepting more fuel. range of vehicle is greatly reduced as a result of less fuel available to a tank of gas.
Advertised fuel tank capacity of 14.5 but only able to us 9-10 gallons of the tank, will not fill up as advertised ~550 mile range. i bought this vehicle for the estimated driving range and we aren't getting anywhere close to that. took to dealer and no explanation or action was given. help
Could not fill the gas tank fully. it takes only 9.834 gal of fuel instead of 14.5 gal. this is widely reported problem, but toyota seems not to issue any recall.
The car claims 14.5 gallon tank. you can only put 10 gallons in the tank. if you put more, it spills all over the ground. instead of a range of 560, it only has a 400 mile range. this has happened multiple times over the past month. if the tank show half full, you can only put in 4.3 gallons.
On all occasions, when refueling the vehicle, the automatic shut-off function of the gas pump activates when the in vehicle gas gauge indicates about 3/4 full. i can then proceed to add approximately three more gallons if i "nurse" the flow of gas into the tank. i am acutely aware of the potential danger of this process in that gasoline could splash back at person filling the tank.
Unable to refuel more than 10 gallons of fuel from empty for a gas tank that takes 14.5 gallons.
Unable to completely fill the fuel tank. stops abut 4 gallons short. happens on every fill. i have to trickle fill it to get close to a full tank. happens at each fill up
Unable to fill gas tank beyond 9.5 gallons even though the car has a 14.5 gallon tank. gas light was on and car estimating 35 miles to empty when i filled it. when i get back in the car my fuel gauge shows that the tank is full. i'm averaging about 350 miles per tank right now.
When fueling my rav4 hybrid i am not able to completely fill the tank.
2019 toyota rav4 hybrid, unable to fill up with fuel. with fuel light on and 30 miles of range vehicle only allows 8.8 gallons out of a 14.5 gallon tank. causing loss of about 200 miles of range. fuel gauge stays slightly below f even after trying to top off. unsafe as we never know how much fuel we have and could end up stranded or overfilling.
I bought my bought a 2019 toyota rav4 hybrid a couple months ago. i like it for the most part, but one of the primary reasons i bought it was for the advertised ~550 mile range. however, every time i've put in a full tank, the 'mile range' at the front dash shows around 430 miles. i got the tank replaced by atlantic toyota in west islip but my tank is only getting 9 gallons of fuel when the tank is 14.5 gallons. 2019 toyota rav4 hybrid xle awd
Purchased 2019 toyota rav4 this november and i have an issue with the gas tank. it only fill 80% of the tank not completely full. when trying to fill manually to the full gauge the gas overflows and spills which creates gas spill on the side of the car and floor. this is an issue that toyota needs to address asap.
I purchased a 2019 rav 4 hybrid a few months ago. each time i have filled the fuel tank, i have filled it until the fuel nozzle clicks off, but the tank never registers more than 3/4+ full. i have tried filling the tank at several different gasoline stations. i took the car back to the dealer's service dept. a few weeks ago, and they told me they could find nothing wrong, and they were able to fill the tank to full. however, i suspect that may have been accomplished by not inserting the nozzle completely into the fuel tank, because i spoke with the service department again today about the continuing problem, and that's what they told me to do. they also offered to accompany me to a gas station, implying that after decades of driving, i don't know how to fill a gas tank. fortunately i logged onto the nhtsa website, and i see that many others have encountered the same problem. something is wrong with the 2019 rav 4 hybrid fueling system, and the fix can't be to not fully insert the nozzle into the tank, or continue filling the tank after the nozzle clicks off. doing so circumvents built in safety and environmental features, and is dangerous. it also negatively impacts the driving range that we have on a tank of gas.
Fuel tank does not fill up to advertised capacity. consistently less than full when gas pump clicks off. multiple pumps and gas stations have been used.
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 gallons range 539. mpg = 39.6 25 nov ' 382.7 miles driven fill up was 10.685 gallons range 568. mpg = 35.8 the tank size as indicated does not equate to the need to refill to capacity of 14.5 gallons. where or what has happened to the 4.5 gallons of tank fuel that we seem to not being able to access?
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.
Battery does not fully charge, when i use the ev mode it will drain the battery to having only 3 green lines and wont want to access the ev mode saying battery is too low. this takes about 10 min to drain. when i go put gas i usually try to fill up the tank. i leave the pump on so it can fill automatically. at one time it clicked to where it indicates its full. when i went to drive off i noticed that the fuel indicator was lower than full tank. i though it was the gas pump. went again to fuel up and did the same thing but this time i had to stand there to fuel up myself this time it took more gallons then it should have taken. so there is something defiantly wrong with the intake tank of this rav4
The gas tank does not fill all the way, so i have having to go back and pump more gas into the tank. this sometimes can lead to overflow and the gas leaking to the ground and can be hazards.
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
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 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!
