2019 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

I HAVE A 2019 TOYOTA HYBRID. THE TANK CAN NOT BE COMPLETELY FILLED. IT CAN LEAVE AROUND FOUR GALLONS UNFILLED. THE ONLY WAY I CAN FILL IT IS TO HAVE THE NOZZLE SLIGHTLY OUT SIDE OF THE FILLER NECK AND PUMP A A SLOW RATE. WHILE THIS WORKS, IT TAKES TIME AND IT IS NOT VERY ENVIRONMENTLY FRIENDLY.

WHEN DRIVING MY CAR EVERYTIME I MAKE A TURN THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM THE SHOCK OF THE WHEELS FRONT AND REAR I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY HEAR NOTHING THEN I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID IT'S THE BALL BEARING ON TOP OF THE SHOCK. NOW THE NOISE IS GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER, I'M SCARED SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN TO ME AND MY FAMILY WHEN WE ARE ALL IN THE CAR. SO PLEASE CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME OUT

WHILE FEELING THE GAS, AT ALMOST EMTPY, I DIDN,'T WENT ABOVE THE 10 GALLONS. THIS REQUIERED ME TO GO MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL IO THE GASTANK. MOREOVER, THE GAS RANGE HAS DECREASED FROM ALMOST 500 MILES TO LESS THAN 380 MILES IN RANGE FROM 2 MONTHS AGO TILL NOW. THE MILAGE OF THE VEHICLE IS LESS AROUND 2,800 MILES. VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN AUGUST OF 2019

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE, THE AUTO SHUTOFF AT THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF BEFORE THE FUEL TANK IS COMPLETELY FILLED. OCCURS AT MULTIPLE GAS STATIONS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF FUEL REMAINING IN THE TANK.

1ST INCIDENT: SITTING AT STOP LIGHT FOR A FEW MINS AS NORMAL. WHEN TIME TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STARTED LURCHING FORWARD IN A HARD JERKING MOTION. 2ND INCIDENT: SLOWER TRAFFIC. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC OR AT SLOWER SPEEDS, ~20-35MPH THE VEHICLE WILL START LURCHING JERKING FORWARD. TOOK BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO ISSUES FOUND. DEALERSHIP RESET INTERNAL COMPUTER, STATING THAT "VEHICLE IS OPERATING NORMALLY". NEITHER HAS ISSUE HAS YET TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANY OTHER DRIVERS AT THIS TIME. I DO TRAVEL WITH DOGS WHO ARE HARNESSED AND SEAT-BELTED IN THE BACKSEAT, THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN TO FLOOR OF CAR IF NOT SEAT-BELTED. FOR MYSELF, I GET TOSSED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES AND HEAD THROWN FORWARD. WHEN DRIVING IN SLOWER TRAFFIC AND/OR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE CAR LURCHING/HARD JERKING FORWARD WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. ALL INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPEN ON DRY CITY STREETS. I WOULD ASSUME DURING THESE INCIDENTS OF THE JERKING FORWARD THAT THE BREAK LIGHTS DO NOT ALERT REAR DRIVERS THAT THE CAR IS IN A STOP/GO MOTION.

FUEL TANK WILL NOT FILL CORRECTLY. IF I OVER FILL IT AFFECTS THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM OF THE RA 4 HYBRID. HAVE TO BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL NOT TO RUN OUT OR GASOLINE.

WHEN FUELING, THE TANK WILL NOT COMPLETELY FILL. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE TO FILL VERY SLOWLY THE TANK OVER FILLS AND YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300.

THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCEPT MORE THAN 10 GALLONS OF FUEL AND MILEAGE RANGE IS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER THAN EXPECTED/ADVERTISED ON A 14.5 CAPACITY TANK

WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATES THAT THE TANK IS NEARLY EMPTY, MY VEHICLE WILL ONLY ACCEPT ABOUT 10 GALLONS OF FUEL UNTIL PUMP SHUT-OFF. AS A RESULT MY VEHICLE FAILS TO MEET TOYOTA MILEAGE RANGE SPECIFICATIONS OF 580 MILES AND ONLY MAKES ABOUT 400 MILES. MOREOVER, IF TRYING TO FILL UP WITH 15 GALLONS OF FUEL AND GOING BEYOND PUMP SHUT-OFF THERE IS A RISK OF OVERFILL AND FIRE HAZARD. KOONS DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY.
