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.
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.
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.
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.
My brand new 2019 Rav4 hybrid xle has a fuel tank that is 14.5 gallons, but will not fill above 9 to 11 gallons at any time. In short, my fuel tank does not fill all the way and I am therefore short on overall car range, from 580miles to about 360-390 miles per tank. I have made an online complaint to ardmore Toyota of pa with no response. I have roughly 6,000 miles on my car, but have noticed this is as low as 400 miles in the odometer.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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)
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 Rav4 xse, purchased in May 2019, gas tank refueling always automatically stops prematurely at fuel gauge 1/3 to 3/4 full. This has occurred with every refueling since the first fueling when the car was new. The problem reduces the effective range on one tank of normally dispensed gas by 100 - 200 miles. Filling very very slowly to coax the tank to accept a properly full fill can cause no automatic shutoff of the gas pump to occur, which can result in excessive fumes or overfilling.
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.
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 #.
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.
