FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
OWNERS MANUAL STATES GAS TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS. HOWEVER WHEN TANK IS EMPTY I AM ONLY ABLE TO GET 10 TO 11 GALLONS INTO VEHICLE BEFORE THE PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THE VEHICLE'S RANGE IS ADVERTISED TO BE 550+ MILES (DEPENDING ON CURRENT MPG), HOWEVER THE TRIP COMPUTER ONLY SHOWS AN ESTIMATED RANGE BASED ON A 10/11 GAL TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN THE 14.5 GAL TANK IS EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT ON AND NO MILEAGE REMAINING SHOWING E YOU CAN ONLY FILL 8 - 8.5 GAL BEFORE PUMP SHUTS OFF. TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED PAST THAT AMOUNT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF AROUND 200 - 250 MILES FROM THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE PER TANK SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE 6 - 6.5 GAL THAT THE TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX, TOYOTA REPORTS A FIX OR TIMELINE IS UNKNOWN AND THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK FOR THIS 2019 RAV4 HYBRID WILL NOT ACCEPT FULL TANK OF GAS. ONE MUST TOP OFF AND POTENTIALLY SPILL FUEL TO GET IT TO AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. TANK CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS WITH RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 550-580 MILE. ONLY CAN HAVE GAS FILL TO ABOUT 9 GALLON WITH RANGE OF 360 MILES. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR A OTHERWISE GOOD CAR. IT HAS BEEN ON GOING SITUATION GETTING WORSE SINCE LAST YEAR.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE GAS TANK OF MY 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 LE HYBRID WILL ONLY FILL TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK. MY RAV4 HAS A 14.5 GALLON FUEL TANK. WHEN I AM NEAR ZERO MILES OF RANGE REMAINING, I OFTEN GET LESS THAN 8 GALLONS AT FILL UP. THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE. THE TANK READ FULL ONLY ONCE, WHEN THE DEALER FILLED THE TANK PRIOR TO DELIVERY TO ME. I DON'T LIKE TO DRIVE WITH LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK OF GAS, AS GAS IS USED TO COOL THE FUEL PUMP. THIS RESULTS IN MOST FUEL STOPS ONLY ACCEPTING BETWEEN 4 AND 6 GALLONS OF GAS. I RECENTLY TOOK A 3000 MILE TRIP THAT WAS 95% HIGHWAY DRIVING AND THAT WAS MY EXPERIENCE DURING THE TRIP.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
TWICE THIS VEHICLE HAS STUMBLED WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, APPLYING GAS FROM A NEAR DEAD STOP. BOTH TIMES WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT DRIVING DEFENSIVELY. THIS RAV 4 IS UNSAFE! LESS THAN 5,000 MILES SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PURCHASED A 2019 RAV4 XSE ON JULY 6TH 2019. THE FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE. THE GAUGE NEVER DISPLAYS MORE THAN 3/4 - 7/8 OF A TANK. ATTEMPTS TO TOP OFF LEADS TO FUEL OVERFLOW. DEALERSHIPS ALL PROVIDE A "WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS" DESPITE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OVER 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES. THIS OCCURS ON MOST SURFACE WHETHER SMOOTH OR ROUGH. WHEN THE MIRROR IS VIBRATING, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY VIEW WHAT IS OCCURRING TO THE LEFT AND BEHIND THE VEHICLE. DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS CREATE A DISTRACTION AS THE MIRROR IS DISTORTING AND SHIMMERING THE LIGHTS IN THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. INVOICE SHOWS THAT VEHICLE "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AS SERVICE REP INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SO THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE 2019/2020 RAV4.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I CANNOT COMPLETELY FILL UP THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, I CAN ONLY GET 9-10 GALLONS IN. THE SPECS SAY IT HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THAT MUCH FUEL INTO THE TANK. THE CRUISING RANGE IS LESS THAN 400 MILES, FAR LESS THAN WHAT IS ADVERTISED. I'VE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE SINCE OCTOBER 2019 AND AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT "TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING IT"

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA HYBRID. THE TANK CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY FILLED. IT CAN LEAVE AROUND FOUR GALLONS UNFILLED. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FILL IT IS TO HAVE THE NOZZLE SLIGHTLY OUT SIDE OF THE FILLER NECK AND PUMP A A SLOW RATE. WHILE THIS WORKS, IT TAKES TIME AND IT IS NOT VERY ENVIRONMENTLY FRIENDLY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1ST INCIDENT: SITTING AT STOP LIGHT FOR A FEW MINS AS NORMAL. WHEN TIME TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STARTED LURCHING FORWARD IN A HARD JERKING MOTION. 2ND INCIDENT: SLOWER TRAFFIC. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC OR AT SLOWER SPEEDS, ~20-35MPH THE VEHICLE WILL START LURCHING JERKING FORWARD. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. DEALERSHIP RESET INTERNAL COMPUTER, STATING THAT "VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY". NEITHER HAS ISSUE HAS YET TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANY OTHER DRIVERS AT THIS TIME. I DO TRAVEL WITH DOGS WHO ARE HARNESSED AND SEAT-BELTED IN THE BACKSEAT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN TO FLOOR OF CAR IF NOT SEAT-BELTED. FOR MYSELF, I GET TOSSED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES AND HEAD THROWN FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC AND/OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR LURCHING/HARD JERKING FORWARD WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPEN ON DRY CITY STREETS. I WOULD ASSUME DURING THESE INCIDENTS OF THE JERKING FORWARD THAT THE BREAK LIGHTS DO NOT ALERT REAR DRIVERS THAT THE CAR IS IN A STOP/GO MOTION.
