Potential Consequences:
BOUGHT A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 IN EARLY SEPTEMBER,BUT AFTER 1 MONTH IT BEGAN SHOWING, "BATTERY IS CHARGING" FREQUENTLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT COULD BE WRONG.

I PLAN IN TAKING THE CAR AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS RESOLVED, SINCE I KNOW FOR A FACT IT IS THE BATTERY THAT IT'S MALFUNCTIONING.

Defect Description:
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
2020 RAV4 HYBRID VEHICLE IS RATED FOR AND ADVERTISED AS HAVING AN APPROXIMATELY 580 MILE FUEL RANGE. PURCHASED NEW, AND DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH A FULL TANK AND 7 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT CAME ON AT JUST LESS THAN 370 MILES OF NORMAL HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. WENT TO "FILL UP" THE VEHICLE AND IT TOPPED OFF AT ONLY 11 GALLONS. THE TANK CAPACITY IS ADVERTISED AS 14.5 GALLONS. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT EITHER THE FUEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE, OR THE FUEL TANK IS SMALLER THAN ADVERTISED. EITHER WAY, THIS MAKES THE ACTUAL FUEL RANGE OVER 200 MILES LESS THAN ADVERTISED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE "RESERVE FUEL" AMOUNT IS 3.5 GALLONS, HOWEVER, TOYOTA USA HAS TOLD ME THE RESERVE AMOUNT IS 2.2 GALLONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - IIN ORDER TO GET THE FUEL RANGE I NEED, I HAVE TO DRIVE IT NEARLY 200 MILES PAST THE LOW-FUEL INDICATOR, WHICH PUTS ME AT INCREASED RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE INTERSTATE. ADDITIONALLY IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF/WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS DEPLETED. TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO INFORM BUYERS OF THIS FUEL GAUGE DEFECT PRIOR TO PURCHASE, AND INSTEAD ACTIVELY ADVERTISES THE LONG FUEL RANGE - THIS FITS THE DEFINITION OF FRAUD, AND IS COMPLETELY UNVERIFIABLE UNTIL YOU PURCHASE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE HUNDREDS OF MILES. HAD I KNOWN, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THIS FUEL RANGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE.

THIS IS A SPECIFIC CONCERN FOR THE BATTERY/ELECTRIC SYSTEM THAT APPEARS TO BE VERY PREVALENT.. IN THE 3 MONTHS SINCE BUYING MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 LIMITED HYBRID (JUNE 20, 2020)-I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR JUMPED TWICE DUE TO A DEAD BATTERY. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING I WAS NOT DOING CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, AFTER READING THE COMMENTS ON SEVERAL SITES IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN THE DAY BEFORE EACH TIME AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. THE SERVICE PERSON WHO CAME OUT TO JUMP IT THE SECOND TIME SAID THAT HE GETS A LOT OF CALLS FOR THESE NEW CARS. THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO LOST MY PARKING ASSIST ON THE BACKUP CAMERA ALONG WITH THE LAST RADIO SETTING. UNFORTUNATELY- TAKING IT TO THE DEALER HAS NOT WORKED FOR MOST OF THE OWNERS. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG OR EVEN LOCATE THE ISSUE. WHAT HAS TOYOTA DONE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? IS IT SOFTWARE, BATTERY, ELECTRICAL OR A COMBINATION OF THESE?

THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO LOST MY PARKING ASSIST ON THE BACKUP CAMERA ALONG WITH THE LAST RADIO SETTING. UNFORTUNATELY- TAKING IT TO THE DEALER HAS NOT WORKED FOR MOST OF THE OWNERS. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG OR EVEN LOCATE THE ISSUE. WHAT HAS TOYOTA DONE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? IS IT SOFTWARE, BATTERY, ELECTRICAL OR A COMBINATION OF THESE?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I HAVE A 2020 RAV4 XLE WITH ABOUT 3,000 MILEAGE. THE CAR BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I JUMP STARTED THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A NEW CAR WOULD BE HAVING THESE BATTERY PROBLEMS. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I BOUGHT A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY. I'VE HAD IT NEARLY 6 MONTHS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REALIZE ANY FUEL EFFICIENCY DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK. MY GAS GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 TANK AND I REFUELED. THE PUMP STOPPED AFTER REACHING 'FULL'. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER 'FILLING UP', THE GAUGE WENT TO 3/4 TANK INSTEAD OF FULL. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, THEREFORE, I CANNOT TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS EVEN FUEL EFFICIENT. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2003 TOYOTA RAV4 NON-HYBRID AND I'D REFUEL EVERY 2 WEEKS AND IT HAS THE SAME SIZE FUEL TANK THAT THE 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID SUPPOSEDLY HAS (14.5 GALLONS). IT FEELS LIKE THE FUEL TANK IS HALF THAT SIZE. I'M HAVING TO REFUEL MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID WEEKLY TO KEEP FROM LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE ASAP.
