FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ONLY ABLE TO PUT 9 OR 10 GALLONS INTO THE GAS TANK WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INDICATING EMPTY. THE TANK IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A 14.5-GALLON CAPACITY. FACTORY REFUSES TO OFFER ANY CONSIDERATION FOR THIS ANNOYING ISSUE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
SIDE MIRRORS VIBRATE MAKING THEM VERY BLURRY DURING DRIVING. THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS YET NO FIX. MOTOR - VEHICLE JOLTS FORWARD AFTER MAKING A STOP AND THEN ACCELERATING. TOYOTA DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, YET THEY REFUSE TO FIX EITHER ISSUE EVEN WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR BOTH ISSUES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MTE, GALLONS TO FILL UP, DON'T EQUAL THE MILES TO GO AFTER A FILL UP. HAVE HAD CAR A YEAR, HAVE ONLY FILLED UP ONCE MORE THAN 10 OR SO GALS, DOESN'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES TO EMPTY SHOW ON GAUGES. DON'T GET ANYWHER NEAR THE MILES DRIVEN THAT WAS TOLD TO ME. I FILL UP, USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 9-10 GLS. WILL HAVE LESS THAN 500 MILES TO DRIVE ON THAT TANK OF GAS.DRIVING LOCAL AND ON HIGHWAY.

AIR BAGS
WELL DOCUMENTED PROBLEM ONLINE WHICH I HAVE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE REMODELED 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HAS A COMMON WATER LEAK WHERE THE HEADLINER MEETS THE SAFETY AIRBAGS. THIS IS A RESULT OF THE PLASTIC PINS HOLDING THE ROOF RAIL RACKS ON BEING CRUSHED BY THE FACTORY DURING INSTALLATION. *LN' CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS NO SERVICE BULLETIN WHEN VEHICLE WAS SOLD, EVEN THOUGH FAILURE WAS KNOWN BY THE MANUFACTURER.*JB

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I AM UNABLE TO GET THE 14.5 GALLONS WHEN FILLING UP. MOST OF THE TIME, I GET ABOUT 10 GALLONS. THIS DROPS THE RANGE FROM THE ADVERTISE 600 TO ABOUT 520 MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL TANK WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 12 GALLONS OF GAS INSTEAD OF IT'S 14.5 GALLON CAPACITY. THE DEALER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND I WAS TOLD TOYOTA WAS WORKING ON A FIX AND WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN IT WAS SOLVED. CAN THIS PROBLEM CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER WAITING FOR 10 MONTHS, TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT DELIVERED A FIX FOR THEIR KNOWN FUEL TANK CAPACITY PROBLEM IN THEIR 2019 RAV4 HYBRID MODEL. TOYOTA CONTINUES TO STATE THAT THE 14.5GAL TANK HAS A CAPACITY OF MORE THAN 500 MILES, WHILE OWNERS STRUGGLE TO PUT MORE THAN 9-10 GALLONS INTO THE VEHICLE. THE REDUCED RANGE AND INCONSISTENT FUEL LEVEL READINGS HAVE LEFT ME UNSURE AS TO HOW MUCH FUEL THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY HAS, RESULTING IN FREQUENT FUEL STOPS AND AN OBSERVED RANGE OF CLOSER TO 300MILES.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE REFUELING PERFORMANCE. THE GAUGE DOES ACCURATELY REFLECT THE CONTENTS OF THE GAS TANK. 14 GAL TANK EMPTY WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN 8 GAL OF GAS. RESULTING IN A SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF GAS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT 65 MILES ON A FREEWAY I DRIVE DAILY. WHILE HAVING THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND DRASTICALLY REDUCED THE SPEED TO ALMOST 0 WHEN THE VEHICLE GOT CLOSED TO ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE RIGHT SIDE LANE MAKING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE TURNING WAS NOT ON MY LANE IN FRONT OF ME IT WAS ALREADY IN A SEPARATE LANE MAKING THE TURN. THE VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS 5 TIMES IN THE YEAR I HAVE OWNED IT.

POWER TRAIN
AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS DOWN TO FIRST GEAR, WITHOUT COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AS ONE ACCELERATES THE VEHICLE MAKES AN ABRUPT FORWARD MOVEMENT. STRONG ENOUGH TO MOVE A PASSENGER BACKWARDS. I HAVE ONLY NOTICE THIS AT LOW SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. DOES NOT HAPPEN AFTER COMPLETE STOP. I WILL RAKE CAR TO DEALER TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION THIS IS NOT NORMAL ON AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE AUGUST 2109 I NOTICED THE FUEL TANK WOULD ONLY HOLD ABOUT 8 GALLONS OF GAS FROM EMPTY. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE CAR IN AWHILE LATER AND WAS TOLD TOYOTA WAS WORKING ON A FIX AND WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT WAS SOLVED. I WAITED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AND CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAID THEY COULD PUT IN A NEW FUEL TANK BUT IT PROBABLY WOULDN'T CORRECT THE ISSUE AND WHEN THEY'RE FIX CAME OUT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME. THEY WERE CORRECT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I'VE WAITED PATIENTLY AND THE CAR IS NOW 1 YR OLD. I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD NO FIX YET. I ASKED THE REPRESENTATIVE IF SHE COULD GIVE ME THAT IN WRITING AND SHE REFUSED. I LET HER KNOW THAT TOYOTA SOLD ME A PRODUCT THAT WAS NOT AS ADVERTISED ON FUEL RANGE AND TANK CAPACITY. A QUESTION TO NHSTA WOULD BE IF WHEN THIS VEHICLE WAS SAFETY CERTIFIED WAS IT DONE WITH A FUNCTIONING FUEL TANK OR THEIR DEFECTIVE TANK? CAN THIS PROBLEM CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE.?
