2019 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

FUEL TANK FOR THIS 2019 RAV4 HYBRID WILL NOT ACCEPT FULL TANK OF GAS. ONE MUST TOP OFF AND POTENTIALLY SPILL FUEL TO GET IT TO AN ACCEPTABLE RANGE. TANK CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS WITH RANGE OF APPROXIMATELY 550-580 MILE. ONLY CAN HAVE GAS FILL TO ABOUT 9 GALLON WITH RANGE OF 360 MILES. THIS IS VERY UNFORTUNATE FOR A OTHERWISE GOOD CAR. IT HAS BEEN ON GOING SITUATION GETTING WORSE SINCE LAST YEAR.

WHEN THE 14.5 GAL TANK IS EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT ON AND NO MILEAGE REMAINING SHOWING E YOU CAN ONLY FILL 8 - 8.5 GAL BEFORE PUMP SHUTS OFF. TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED PAST THAT AMOUNT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF AROUND 200 - 250 MILES FROM THE ADVERTISED MILEAGE PER TANK SPECIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO THE LOSS OF THE 6 - 6.5 GAL THAT THE TANK CAN NOT BE FILLED. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT ATTEMPT TO FIX, TOYOTA REPORTS A FIX OR TIMELINE IS UNKNOWN AND THEY CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE.

TWICE THIS VEHICLE HAS STUMBLED WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC, APPLYING GAS FROM A NEAR DEAD STOP. BOTH TIMES WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT DRIVING DEFENSIVELY. THIS RAV 4 IS UNSAFE! LESS THAN 5,000 MILES SINCE WE BOUGHT IT NEW.

GAS TANK DOES NOT FILL FULLY. ONLY FILLS TO 10 GALLONS EACH TIME I FILL IT UP, WHICH ONLY GIVES ME AROUND 400 MILES OF DRIVING.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OVER 45 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR VIBRATES. THIS OCCURS ON MOST SURFACE WHETHER SMOOTH OR ROUGH. WHEN THE MIRROR IS VIBRATING, IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO CLEARLY VIEW WHAT IS OCCURRING TO THE LEFT AND BEHIND THE VEHICLE. DURING NIGHT TIME DRIVING, HEADLIGHTS CREATE A DISTRACTION AS THE MIRROR IS DISTORTING AND SHIMMERING THE LIGHTS IN THE DRIVER'S VIEW. THIS MAKES DRIVING UNSAFE. REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO TOYOTA SERVICE DEPARTMENT. INVOICE SHOWS THAT VEHICLE "OPERATING AS DESIGNED" AS SERVICE REP INDICATED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SO THIS IS NORMAL FOR THE 2019/2020 RAV4.

PURCHASED A 2019 RAV4 XSE ON JULY 6TH 2019. THE FUEL TANK WILL NOT ACCEPT A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE. THE GAUGE NEVER DISPLAYS MORE THAN 3/4 - 7/8 OF A TANK. ATTEMPTS TO TOP OFF LEADS TO FUEL OVERFLOW. DEALERSHIPS ALL PROVIDE A "WE'VE NEVER HEARD OF THIS" DESPITE MULTIPLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS.

I'M UNABLE TO PUT NO MORE THAN 10 GALLON OF GAS EVEN THO MAX GAS TANK IS 14.5. A LOT LESS MILEAGE THAN TOYOTA CLAIM.

BOUGHT A 2019 TOYOTA RAV 4 HYBRID XLE SEPTEMBER 27 2019.. REPORTED GAS FILLING PROBLEM TO TOYOTA ON DECEMBER 23 2019 AFTER COMING TO WITS END ON PUTTING GAS IN VEHICLE..CAN ONLY GET ABOUT 9 GALLONS INTO THE 14,5 GALLON TANK. WHEN I TRY TO GET MORE GAS IN IT IT BACK SPLASHES AND SPILLS OUT WHICH IS A MAJOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SAFETY ISSUE.. ALSO HAD DEALER LOOK AT IT AND THERE IS NO FIX AT THIS TIME SO THEY SAY SO HAVE REQUESTED FULL REFUND ON VEHICLE AS ONE OF THE DEALER OPTIONS GIVEN ME. SO I HAVE THREE CASE NUMBERS. ONE THRU TOYOTA MAIN HEADQUARTERS THEN ONE THRU DEALER THEN ANOTHER FOR REFUND REQUEST THRU TOYOTA.. ON ANOTHER NOTE I ALSO REPORTED TO TOYOTA THAT MY GAS GAUGE GETS STUCK ON FULL AFTER GOING DOWN PROPERLY FOR 100 PLUS MILES DRIVEN THEN THE GAS GAUGE ALL OF A SUDDEN OUT OF THE BLUE GOES UP OVER FULL AND ITS SHOWS WELL OVER 550 MILES BEFORE RUNNING OUT OF GAS WHICH IS MILES TO EMPTY I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO AFTER TRYING TO FILL IT SLOWLY FOR 15 -20 MINUTES.. .. TRIED MULTIPLE RESETS TO HELP CORRECT BUT THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY AND THAT WAS CONFIRMED BY DEALER THAT RESET DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE FRONT HEAD LIGHTS FAILED TO ADEQUATELY ILLUMINATE THE ROADWAY WHICH CAUSED A VISIBILITY HAZARD TO THE DRIVER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER RICK MCGILL'S TOYOTA (3145 AIRPORT HWY, ALCOA TN) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE HEADLAMPS OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100.*DT*JB

I CANNOT COMPLETELY FILL UP THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY, I CAN ONLY GET 9-10 GALLONS IN. THE SPECS SAY IT HAS A 14.5 GALLON TANK, BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET THAT MUCH FUEL INTO THE TANK. THE CRUISING RANGE IS LESS THAN 400 MILES, FAR LESS THAN WHAT IS ADVERTISED. I'VE BEEN CALLING THE DEALERSHIP AND TOYOTA CORPORATE SINCE OCTOBER 2019 AND AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT "TOYOTA IS INVESTIGATING IT"
