I bought a 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid for fuel efficiency. I've had it nearly 6 months and have not been able to realize any fuel efficiency due to a faulty fuel tank. My gas gauge was at 1/4 tank and I refueled. The pump stopped after reaching �full�. When I restarted the vehicle after �filling up�, the gauge went to 3/4 tank instead of full. At any given time, I do not know how much fuel is in the tank, therefore, I cannot tell if the vehicle is even fuel efficient. My previous car was a 2003 Toyota Rav4 non-hybrid and I'd refuel every 2 weeks and it has the same size fuel tank that the 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid supposedly has (14. 5 gallons). It feels like the fuel tank is half that size. I'm having to refuel my 2020 Toyota Rav4 hybrid weekly to keep from leaving me stranded because the gas gauge is reading incorrectly. Toyota needs to correct this issue ASAP.
The fuel tank accepts between 9. 5 and 10 gallons total for a refill, even when it has the low fuel light lit. After adding 9. 5 gallons to an empty tank, the fuel gauge shows full. The tank specs claim a 14. 5 gallon tank. The vehicle estimates the distance you can travel apparently assuming a 14. 5 gallon tank. Relying on the estimated distance you can drive is not a good idea, you will end up stranded. The fuel tank not accepting a full 14. 5 gallons is a problem. The safety issue comes in when the "distance to empty" is significantly misrepresented, being off by as much as 140miles right after filling the tank and dropping faster than would make sense given the prominently reported mpg value on the screen.
Has problems filling up gas to the full tank.
Fuel filling shuts off when at gas pump. Tank not capable of filling to Toyota spec gallon capacity (14. 5). Maximum 10. 5 gallons. Greatly reducing overall mileage and posing safety risk when manually topping off gas tank.
The gas tank will not completely fill at the gas station. When the gas light comes on and shows that it is empty, I will go to the gas station and it will only allow me to fill up about 9-10gallons of gas. The gas tank is listed as being 14. 5gallons. Therefore, the reported gas mileage that was expecting to get from this car is extremely under rated and incorrect. I can slightly squeeze the gas handle and put more fuel in the tank but I run the risk of potentially overfilling and spilling fuel on the ground. This is extremely frustrating.
I was told my Toyota Rav4 hybrid has a 14. 5 gallon gas tank. Even when filling up when the gas light turns on, I am barely able to fill 10 - 11 gallons. Upon fill-up, the systems show 520 miles (example) to empty but within 20 miles of driving the balances runs down to under 450.
I cannot fill the tank full. I have tried several gas station pumps and filling slowly after the pump clicks off. With time and effort, I can get another 2 gallons in, but the range is less than advertised. This has occurred with every fill since I purchased the vehicle. I investigated on-line and with my service dept and saw others are having the same issue. I also saw a class action suit. I filed a complaint with Toyota as well.
Since purchasing, the vehicle will not allow for full filling of gas tank to 14. 5 specified gallons. The reported range of the vehicle is thereby reduced. In addition, the vehicle is not achieving anywhere near its mfg specified gas mileage of 27/30/29. The most the vehicle can achieve is 22. 4 mpg.
