Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
VEHICLE WILL NOT ALLOW CONSISTENT FUEL FILL. PUMP OFTEN SHUTS OFF WELL SHORT OF FULL TANK. USUALLY STOPS AROUND 7/8 TANK. ATTEMPTING TO FILL THE TANK FULLY SOMETIMES RESULTS IN FUEL OVERFLOW AND SPILLAGE. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO CONSISTENTLY FILL THE TANK ANYWHERE NEAR FULL. AFTER A "FILL", I DRIVE 20 OR 30 MILES AND AM ALREADY AT A GAUGE LEVEL OF 3/4 TANK. THIS IS ON A HYBRID, WITH THE COMPUTER SHOWING 40+ MPG. THERE IS A FLAW IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT PREVENTS FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY. MY ESTIMATE IS ROUGHLY 1.5-2 GALLONS BELOW FULL IS WHEN THE PUMP SHUTS OFF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
EVER SINCE I FIRST DROVE MY RAV4 OFF THE LOT, I NOTICED IT HAD A RANGE OF 580 MILES TO EMPTY. I'VE NEVER SEEN THAT EVER SINCE THE FIRST TIME I SAT IN THE CAR. WHEN I WENT TO THE FUEL PUMP, I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET IN NO MORE THAN 10 GALLONS AND MY METER WOULD ALWAYS SHOW 2 TICKS BELOW FULL, WHICH IS ABOUT 3/4 OF THE METER GAUGE. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, SO I TRIED PUMPING IN MORE GAS AFTER IT AUTO SHUTOFF AND EACH TIME IT WOULD PUMP A BIT AND THEN STOP. IF I TRICKLED GAS INTO THE CAR, IT WOULD FILL UP EVENTUALLY AND THE NEEDLE WOULD FINALLY SHOW THE NEEDLE PAST FULL AND DTE OF 530 MILES TO EMPTY. EVENTUALLY I KEPT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER TO GET IT SERVICED. FUEL EVEN SPILLED OUT OF MY TANK ONCE AND GOT ONTO MY CLOTHES WHEN FILLING UP MY TANK. THEY COULDN'T FIX IT SO THEY HAD ME COME BACK LATER AND REPLACED MY ENTIRE FUEL TANK AT MY 5K MILE SERVICE. AFTERWARDS, MY TANK SEEMED TO FILL CLOSER TO FULL, BUT I NOTICED IT'S ACTUALLY STILL A BIT BELOW FULL. ALSO EVEN WHEN DRIVEN TO 0 MILES LEFT AND THE LIGHT BEING ON, I COULDN'T GET MORE THAN 10.5 GALLONS INTO THE TANK, AND IT WOULD ALSO SHOW THE NEEDLE A BIT BELOW FULL. THIS LED ME TO TRY AND DRIVE MY CAR AND FORCE IT TO EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED. I PUT A 2.5 GALLON SPARE FUEL CONTAINER IN MY BACKSEAT AND DROVE IT UNTIL I REACHED 120 MILES PAST THE EMPTY MARK, AND MY CAR TOLD ME TO PULL OVER WHEN IT'S SAFE AND TO GET FUEL. I PUT IN 0.2 GALLONS AND WAS THEN ABLE TO DRIVE TO THE CHEVRON NEARBY AND PUMP IN ABOUT 14.055 GALLONS INTO THE CAR. EVEN THEN, MY NEEDLE WAS JUST AT THE FULL MARK AND NOT PAST IT. I NOTICED THAT IN USUALLY ABLE TO PUT IN ANOTHER 1.5-2 GALLONS INTO THE CAR AFTER IT AUTO SHUTS OFF AT THE PUMP. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO SINCE THEY ALREADY REPLACED MY FUEL TANK ALREADY AND I HAD TO DRIVE A TOYOTA SIENNA AROUND FOR A FEW DAYS

Potential Consequences:
UNABLE TO FILL GAS TANK TO IT'S FULLEST CAPACITY. I FIND I HAVE FILL UP VERY SLOWLY, QUITS FILLING ON AN EMPTY TANK AT 8 GALLONS, ONCE I WAS ABLE TO GET 10 GALLONS IN. FUEL TANK NEVER WILL SHOW THAT IT IS FULL. ALSO, THE CAR WILL TELL ME HOW MANY MILES I HAVE LEFT TO DRIVE. 2 TIMES I WAS ABLE TO GET IT OVER 500 MILES BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT IS UNDER 450. I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE I EVER GET THE FULL MILES LISTED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I BOUGHT MY BRAND NEW CAR IN AUG 2019. A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID XSE. MY FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT GO ALL THE WAY TO FULL WHEN I FILL UP ON GAS. I NOTICED THIS AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 1 MONTH. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR SERVICE AND TOOK THE CAR IN. THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE SAID THAT TOYOTA IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO FIX. HE SAID THERE WAS NO REASON TO LEAVE MY CAR WITH THEM. I CALLED TOYOTA CORP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, AND THAT THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED BY NHTSA FOR THIS ISSUE. BECAUSE THE GAUGE NEVER FILLS TO THE SAME SPOT EVERY TIME, THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT MY TRUE MPG IS. SO, THIS ISSUE COULD INVOLVE FALSIFYING THE MPG OF THE HYBRID. BUT BECAUSE NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN REVIEWING FURTHER, THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING HOW BAD THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO BRING MY CAR BACK INTO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LOOK AT THE CAR. THIS IS A VERY WIDE SPREAD ISSUE WHEN LOOKING ONLINE TO THE COUNTLESS OTHER CAR OWNERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. ATTACHING AN EMAIL I JUST RECEIVED FROM THE SERVICE EMPLOYEE THAT I SPOKE TO, SHOWING THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND THERE NOT BEING A FIX. YET, THEY HAVE NOT STOPPED SELLING THIS CAR, AND ARE LIKELY NOT NOTIFYING THE CUSTOMERS OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. I WILL BE SEEKING CAR REPLACEMENT FROM TOYOTA. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL TO COME OR NOT COME. I AM WILLING TO PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION NEEDED FOR YOU TO PROCEED WITH THE RECALL FOR ALL CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH TOYOTA.
