2020 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK OF MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID LE. THE TANK CAN NEVER BE FILLED TO IT'S FULL CAPACITY OF 14.5 GALLONS. I CAN ONLY ADD 9 OR SOMETIMES 10 GALLONS AND THE GAS TANK GAUGE SHOWS ONLY 3/4 OF THE TANK FILLED AFFECTING THE MPG AND THE RANGE OF THE VEHICLE.

SMART KEY MALFUNCTION-- 2020 RAV4, PURCHASED MAY OF 2020. FIRST INCIDENT: OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE SITTING IN A PARKING GARAGE AT AN AIRPORT FOR 4 DAYS. CAME BACK AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND LIGHTS ON DISPLAY PANEL WERE FLICKERING. DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING, AND UPON JUMP STARTING EVERYTHING WAS OK. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BATTERY WAS BAD, THEY REPLACED BATTERY. SECOND INCIDENT: OCCURRED AFTER CAR PARKED FOR 11 HOURS. VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND LIGHTS ON DISPLAY PANEL WERE FLICKERING AGAIN. DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AS WELL.. HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.. BASED OFF OF A GOOGLE SEARCH AND RESEARCH, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SOME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRAIN ITS OWN BATTERY AT RANDOM TIME INTERVALS.

THE FUEL INDICATOR SHOWS HALF ONLY. THE TANK DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE COMPANY ITSELF NEVER CONTACTED US RE THIS DEFECT. WE TURNED THE CAR IN TODAY AS WE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AN ACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING

THE VEHICLE IS HESITATING, JERKING WHEN COMING TO A SLOW STOP AND WHEN GIVING IT GAS. WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT SHOWED THAT THE TANK WAS ONLY 3/4 FULL. I PUT MORE GAS AGAIN AND THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWED.

FUEL GAUGE/FUEL TANK PROBLEM. TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS, BUT AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ALLOWS ONLY 10 GALLONS. FUEL GAUGE THEN SHOWS "FULL." DISPLAYS AND FUEL-LOW WARNINGS COME ON AFTER ABOUT 400 MILES, WITH FUEL GAUGE SHOWING "EMPTY."

THE GAS TANK IS NOT ABLE TO BE FILLED. ONLY 9 GALLONS CAN BE ENTERED. THE DRIVE RANGE IS ONLY 400 MIKES VS THE 540 OF THE TANK COULD BE COMPLETELY FILLED

MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID IS SUPPOSED TO GET 4.5 GALLONS OF FUEL, BUT I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL UP TO 9 GALLONS FROM EMPTY. WHEN GETTING FUEL, I TOP OFF AND AM STILL ONLY AVERAGING 9 GALLONS PER FILL UP. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA, BUT NO FIX.

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. THEY STATED THAT IT IS NORMAL. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE MESSAGE WILL BE SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD, "BATTERY IS CHARGING". 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.

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.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE JERKS EVERY TIME.
