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 ...
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. ...
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.
