GAS TANK DOES NOT FILL ALL THE WAY
ODI 11309444
Fuel/Propulsion System
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/Propulsion System
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…

Fuel gauge does not properly register correct fuel amount in vehicle. It is showing empty with about 4.5 gallons left in fuel tank. Dealership refuses to admit there is an issue and tries to blame it on ethanol fuel additives....

Fuel/Propulsion System
The vehicle's fuel tank capacity is 14.5 gallons. When the fuel gauge on the dash shows 1/8 of a tank, i can only add 9-10 gallons of fuel before the fuel pump clicks off. At a fuel tank level of 1/8, i should be able to put 12-13 gallons of fuel in the tank. There is not a safety issue here, but i'm not able to get the driving range on a tank of fuel that i was expecting when i purchased the vehicle. I should be…

Fuel/Propulsion System
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…

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.

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.

Fuel/Propulsion System
The actual fuel tank capacity of the 2019-2020 rav4 hybrids do not match the advertised capacity. The average amount of fuel that has been able to enter the tank when the gauge shows nearly empty is 9-11 gallons if unsafe fueling practices are used. The fuel nozzle from the pump must be pulled out from the vehicle to prevent it from shutting off while refueling.

Fuel/Propulsion System
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…
