Fuel-tank capacity is listed at 14. 5 gallons the tank won't accept more than 9 or 10 gallons.
I purchased my car on 12-21-19 with the explicit sales claim that the 2020 Rav4 hybrid tank holds 14. 5 gallons. I was promised that I could drive over 550 miles on one tank of gas. However, I have had to refuel my car 3 times already. Each time when my car fuel tank empty light turned on, I could only get between 10-10. 8 gallons until it's �full. � I have been able to drive only 354-413 miles on a �full� tank of gas, a far cry from the 550 miles promised. I have contacted two dealerships and have opened up a case number with Toyota corporation. They deny ever having heard of this problem and do not have a fix. Doing a quick search online pulls up countless similar complaints about this car on car forums. I also learned that a couple of class action lawsuits have also been recently filed.
My 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid does not get the range nor fuel tank capacity as advertised by Toyota. The fuel tank is specified as 14. 7 gallons, but maximum that I am able to put in is around 12 gallons after fuel tank is completely empty. Being able to pump even this much fuel into the tank is only possible after many pump restarts. This is a both a safety and environmental hazard as I have to circumvent the automatic pump stop.
Unable to fill fuel tank to advertised capacity (14. 5 gallons). This is a recurring issue. When fuel is low indicated by fuel gauge and distance to empty calculation, nearing empty, I am only able to fill 9. 5-10. 5 gallons max.
When the low fuel light comes on (in the manual indicates there's about 2. 2 gallons left in the tank), I can pump about 9 gallons of fuel into the tank to the first click-off from the gas pump. So, for a 14. 5-gallon tank with a *2. 2-gallon reserve I should be able to put about 12 gallons in when I fuel up, not 9 gallons. The fuel gauge will not show full when fueling and the pump first cuts off, it's between 3/4 and full. The dte (distance to empty) will show about 410 miles at this point. It is not possible to fill the tank to it's stated capacity. This has been confirmed by a technician at the dealership where I purchased the vehicle. Toyota indicated to the technician that there is no fix. Toyota is continuing to sell the Rav4 hybrids with defective gas tanks.
2020 Rav4 xle hybrid. Fuel gauge shows empty when only approximately 10 gallons of the 14. 5 gallon tank have been used. This leads to getting far less range from a tank of gas than the vehicle should or is advertised to get. When you fill the tank the computer first estimates over 500 mile range but then quickly drops and actual range you get is more than 100 miles less due to the fuel tank problem.
Gas tank will not fill within two gallons of capacity and gas gauge does not accurately reflect fuel remaining.
Vehicle's fuel tank will not fill to the advertised capacity of 14. 5 gallons. Stops at approximately 10 gallons. This issue is known by the manufacturer and dealerships about the model year and continues into the new. The buyers are not informed of this before the sale is made. Why are Toyota and their dealerships being allowed to continue this deceptive business practice?.
Vehicle indicates fuel empty (gas gauge and warnings) after approx 350 miles. Fuel tank supposed to be 14. 5 gal. , but tank only accepts 9-10 gallons fuel before shutoff. 1 full tank from dealer plus 1 fill-up with same result. Vehicle also only averaging 36 mpg after 2 tanks mostly highway & now into 1 tank mixed city/highway (Toyota indicates 38 highway/40 city). Either fuel tank is defective/capacity is inaccurate, gauges/computer/warnings are defective, or both?.
I purchased a 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid limited addition from Toyota of escondido and took delivery in December of 2019. Upon delivery, I noticed the instrumentation said this vehicle had 575 miles to empty. We went on our annual christmas trip to n. California. I noticed that our first refueling I could not fill the tank more than 9. 5 to 10 gals of fuel when system says low fuel. This happens consistently since the first fill up in Dec 2019 to now may 2020. The best mileage to empty has been consistently 415 - 430 miles to empty. Where does this explain the 14. 5 gallon fuel tank. Secondly with very careful and tedious driving in town or highway cannot attain anywhere near the vehicle sticker of 41/38 mpg. The best I can obtain in town is 31. 5 mpg. I took the vehicle in several times to address this issue and was told there was no fix in place for the fuel issue, but they are aware of this issue and have known of this issue since 2019 models. They had the vehicle for the day and returned it to me with a fuel economy reading of 61 mpg. I was astonished and asked how did they do this. There was not reply. Just driving the vehicle home from the dealer the fuel economy started to fall drastically and within 2 days the economy was back to 31. 5 mpg.
The fuel tank will only accept less than 10 gallons of fuel. The stated capacity of the fuel tank by Toyota is 14. 5 gallons. This defect causes at least two problems: the marketed range of the vehicle is markedly diminished, and the fuel gauge gives false, misleading information to the point you never know how much fuel is left. These are safety issues because you do not know for sure when and where you will run out of fuel.
2020 Rav4 hybrid xse will not fill to a full tank of fuel after countless repeated attempts. The owners manual states it's a 14. 5 gallon tank and once the low fuel light comes on you should have about 2. 2 gallons of reserve fuel. I am unable to get even close to the 12. 3 gallons give or take it should need. I can only pump around 9 gallons of fuel. This leaves me with only getting a range of 350+ miles to a tank. Also this issue was discovered in 2019 and no one let me know my 2020 would be affected by this when purchasing. Toyota should have made this clear because it would have changed my decision. Also after repeated attempts at the dealership they said they have no fix for this issue at the time.
Our 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid xse has a faulty fuel tank. Toyota advertised that the tank is 14. 5 gallons. We are only able to fill about 10 gallons.
The gas tank on my new Toyota Rav4 hybrid, model year 2020 will not ever fill to capacity or anywhere near it. I purchased in November 2019. The advertised range of the car was over 500 miles per tank and my range is only 375 miles typically. After a search online I see this is a known problem even before I purchased the car, yet I was never informed of the defect of the tank by Toyota that it will not fill to anywhere near the stated 14. 5 gallons.
Gas light comes on after the car has consumed ~10 gallons. The vehicle is advertised having 14. 5 gallon tank with 580 mile trip.
Toyota advertised and sold the car with 14. 5 gallon tank, but I cannot fill more than 10 gallons before the pump shuts off automatically, and I do not get the range that is advertised.
