Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
THE 2019 RAV4 HV GAS TANK DRY FILL CAPACITY IS 14.5 GAL US. REFUELING ALWAYS AUTOMATICALLY STOPS PREMATURELY AT FUEL GAUGE 3/4 FULL, WHICH CORRESPONDS TO SEVERAL GALLONS DISPENSED LESS THAN A PROPERLY FULL TANK. THE GAS GAUGE IS ACCURATE. THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH EVERY REFUELING SINCE THE FIRST FUELING WHEN THE CAR WAS NEW. THE PROBLEM REDUCES THE EFFECTIVE RANGE ON ONE TANK OF NORMALLY DISPENSED GAS BY AROUND 100 MILES OR MORE. RANGE IS A BIG SELLING POINT OF THE HYBRID MODEL! FURTHERMORE, FILLING VERY VERY SLOWLY TO COAX THE TANK TO ACCEPT A PROPERLY FULL FILL CAN CAUSE NO AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP TO OCCUR, WHICH CAN RESULT IN EXCESSIVE FUMES OR OVERFILLING. THIS IS UNSAFE. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO TOYOTA USA BY ME AND BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER HAS A TECHNICAL CASE NUMBER AND I HAVE A TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CASE NUMBER. TOYOTA'S RESPONSE FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS HAS BEEN THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE. THE CAR IS STILL ELIGIBLE FOR REFUND OR REPLACEMENT UNDER THE LEMON LAW PROVISIONS (<15K DRIVEN OR 1 YEAR).

PARKED ON LEVEL CONCRETE, SHUT OFF, IN "REFUEL" STATUS, AT THE FUEL ISLAND, IT DEPENDABLY SUFFERS ABJECT FAILURE AT ATTEMPTS TO REFILL THE GASOLINE TANK AT THE FUEL PUMP. WITH THE FUEL PUMP NOZZLE SET TO LOWEST FLOW SETTING, AT ANY MOMENT, THE FUEL BEING PUMPED DOWN THE FILLER TUBE SURGES BACK UP THE FILLER TUBE, OCCASIONALLY SPILLING OUT ONTO THE SIDE OF THE CAR AND THE GROUND. OTHER TIMES, WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE SET TO LOWEST FLOW SETTINGS, IT MAY AUTOMATICALLY AND ARBITRARILY SHUT OFF AFTER 1 GALLON OR 4 GALLONS, WHEN THE MILES DRIVEN ALONG WITH THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THE TANK REQUIRES AT LEAST 10 GALLONS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO KNOW FROM ONE FILL-UP TO THE NEXT FILL-UP IF THE TANK IS FULL, CLOSE TO FULL, OR SEVERAL GALLONS SHY OF FULL. REFUELING THE RAV4 HYBRID IS A CHALLENGE THAT DEFEATS THE BEST MECHANICAL AND FLUID DYNAMICS AWARE PERSON TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. THIS ISSUE IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW WITH 9 MILES ON THE ODOMETER ON AUGUST 19, 2019.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
TOYOTA'S 2019 RAV4 LIMITED HYBRID BOASTS OF HAVING A 14.5 GALLON FUEL CAPACITY. WHEN I FILL MY TANK, I CAN FILL IT TO 10 GALLONS MAXIMUM. THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AARON ENGLAND, INSISTS THAT THIS IS NORMAL. HE STATED THAT NO CARS CAN BE FILLED TO CAPACITY. I AM NOT WANTING TO FILL TO CAPACITY. TOYOTA IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS IS INACCURATE AND SAYS MY CAR EITHER HAS 3-4 GALLONS, BUT THE SENSOR CAN NOT DETECT IT OR I HAVE A TANK SMALLER THAN CLAIMED. THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE. WHEN FUELING MY VEHICLE, IT STOPS FUELING WHEN A LITTLE MORE THAN AN 1/8 OF A TANK SHOWS REMAINS UNTIL FULL. ONLINE, THERE IS MUCH EVIDENCE FROM OTHER OWNERS THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE AND TOYOTA IS REFUSING TO OFFER HELP.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
MULTIPLE FUEL SPILLS HAPPENED WHILE THE 2019 RAV4 HYBRID WAS STATIONARY, BEING REFUELED. THE MANUAL PROVIDED STATES THAT THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN THERE IS 2.2 GALLONS OR LESS FUEL IN THE TANK, AND IT STATES THE FUEL CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS. WHEN FUELING AFTER THE LOW FUEL LIGHT ILLUMINATES, AND THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES "E"; THE TANK OVERFILLS WITH APPROXIMATELY 9.3 GALLONS, OR 3 GALLONS SHORT OF WHAT WAS EXPECTED. THIS RESULTS IN HAZARDOUS FUEL SPILLS WHEN THE ATTENDANT ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE TANK. ALSO, THE VEHICLES RANGE IS LESS THAN EXPECTED WHICH CAN RESULT IN DIVERSIONS AND/OR A STRANDED DRIVER.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
LESS THAN ONE MONTH AGO, I PURCHASED A NEW 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID LIMITED THAT WAS BUILT IN JAPAN AND HAD ONLY 7 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. THE CAR WAS ADVERTISED TO GIVE COMBINED 40 MPG AND HAVE A 14.5 GALLON FUEL TANK. I NOW HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2 THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR AND I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE EVERY TIME THAT I GET GAS IN MULTIPLE STATES AND GAS STATIONS. THE TANK WILL NOT FILL UP AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF BEFORE THE TANK IS FILLED. EVERY TIME THAT I FILL UP, THE FUEL GAUGE ALWAYS STAYS ABOUT 2-3 LINES BELOW THE FULL MARK. TWO DAYS AGO I DROVE THE CAR UNTIL IT STOPPED DISPLAYING A MILES-TO-EMPTY READING AND SIMPLY READ, 'FUEL NEEDED.' MINUTES BEFORE GIVING THIS READING, IT SAID THAT I HAD APPROXIMATELY 31 MILES LEFT. I CHECKED THE TOYOTA REMOTE CONNECT APP ON MY PHONE THE NEXT MORNING AND IT READ THAT I HAD 24 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. I DROVE TO THE GAS STATION AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO PUT IN 8.9 GALLONS OF GAS BEFORE THE FUEL PUMP SHUT OFF. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTINUE FUELING TWO MORE TIMES BUT EACH TIME I TRIED TO TOP OFF, I ONLY GOT A LITTLE MORE GAS BEFORE IT KEPT SHUTTING OFF. AFTER TOPPING OFF TWICE, I ACHIEVE A GRAND TOTAL OF 9.4 GALLONS OF GAS PURCHASED. IF THE TANK IS SUPPOSED TO HOLD 14.5 GALLONS AND I WAS ONLY ABLE TO ADD 9 TO A CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSEDLY ON EMPTY, THAT IS 5 GALLONS OF GAS THAT IS MISSING. I'M AWARE THAT MANY TOYOTA HAVE APPROXIMATELY 2 GALLONS LEFT IN RESERVE WHEN THE GAS LIGHT GOES ON, HOWEVER, 9+2=12 AND STILL LEAVES THE CAR SHORT OF ABOUT 2 GALLONS OF GAS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT WILL RESULT IN MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO TOP OFF THEIR GAS BY FORCING FUEL INTO THE TANKS AND BEING UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHEN THE STOP. THIS CAN CAUSE GAS LEAKS AND AN INCREASE IN EMISSIONS OR RISK OF FIRE. IT APPEARS THAT MANY OF THE 2019 TOYOTA HYBRIDS THAT WERE BUILT IN JAPAN ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.
