2019 TOYOTA RAV4 Complaints

THE ENGINE IS NON-RESPONSIVE WHEN MAKING RIGHT HAND & UP HILL TURNS. I CAN DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL THREE TIMES BEFORE THE CAR STARTS TO ACCELERATE. THIS IS DANGEROUS! WHAT IS GOING ON?

PRECOLLISION WARNING SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. COMPLAINED TO DEALER BUT NO ACTION DONE. ALMOST HIT A COUPLE TIMES PEDESTRIANS. IT LOOKS LIKE RADAR SENSORS LN FRONT ARE NOT WORKING. FRONT CAMERA IS WORKING.

FUEL TANK DOES NOT PROPERLY FILL, AND OFTEN RESULTS IN GAS SPILLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AS A OWNER IS FORCED TO MANUALLY "TOP OFF" THE VEHICLE TO FILL THE TANK. OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE: HTTPS://WWW.RAV4WORLD.COM/THREADS/DIFFICULTY-WITH-GETTING-FUEL-TANK-FULL.298909/

I CAN NEVER GET A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE MOST I'VE EVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT IN STILL LEAVES ME SEVERAL NOTCHES BELOW FULL. I GET ABOUT 400 MILES PER TANK WHEREAS IT WAS AT LEAST 430 AFTER THE DEALER FILLED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. WHILE DRIVING AND/OR STOPPING THE VEHICLE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL SCRATCHING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ORLAND TOYOTA (8505 W 159TH ST, TINLEY PARK, IL 60487, (708) 336-7288) AND OAK LAWN TOYOTA (4320 95TH ST, OAK LAWN, IL 60453, (708) 423-5200) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

THERE IS NO INDICATOR OR LOW FUEL WARNING WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS EMPTY. PLUS WHEN FILLING FROM EMPTY TO FULL AND THE GASOLINE STATION FUEL PUMP KICKS OFF, ONLY 8 TO 9 GALLONS OF GASOLINE (THE TANK CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS) IS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK AND THE FUEL TANK INDICATOR ONLY READS 7/8 OF A TANK.

I PURCHASED A 2019 RAV4 HYBRID IN APRIL OF 2019. ONE ISSUE WITH THE CAR THAT I HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESOLUTION FOR IS THAT THE FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE. ON FILLING THE TANK, IT ONLY SHOWS ABOUT 7/8 FULL. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TOTALLY FULL IS TO 'TOP IT OFF' WHICH IS ILLEGAL IN OREGON WHERE I LIVE. THE FUEL TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS. ON THE WAY BACK FROM A RECENT TRIP, I LET THE FUEL GAUGE GO DOWN UNTIL THE DASH BOARD SCREEN SAID I HAD 13 MILES LEFT UNTIL I WAS GOING TO BE OUT OF FUEL. I TOLD THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT HELP ME THIS ONE TIME BY 'TOPPING OFF' THE TANK TO CHECK THE GALLONS NEEDED. THE TANK WAS FULL AFTER ADDING JUST 12 GALLONS. THAT MEANS I HAD 2.5 GALLONS LEFT IN THE TANK WHEN THE DASH BOARD FUEL WARNING SAID I HAD 13 MILES TO GO BEFORE I WAS OUT OF GAS. THIS VEHICLE CONSISTENTLY GETS 40-45 MPG. I FEEL IT IS DANGEROUS NOT TO HAVE THE CORRECT FUEL TOTAL AVAILABLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY TOYOTA DEALER (LITHIA TOYOTA OF SPRINGFIELD, OREGON) IN MAY OF 2019 TO HAVE THIS ISSUE CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER SAID THE DID A THOROUGH CHECK OF THE SYSTEMS THAT MAY BE INVOLVED, BUT COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RECALLS BY TOYOTA CONCERNING THIS MATTER.

MY 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID HAS A 14.5 GALLON FUEL TANK. I BOUGHT IT NEW TWO MONTHS AGO AND HAVE ALMOST 5,000 MILES ON IT. IN THE TWO MONTHS SINCE I'VE OWNED IT, THE FUEL TANK HAS NEVER ALLOWED ME TO FILL IT MORE THAN 11 GALLONS. IF I TRY TO TOP IT OFF, IT WILL JUST CONTINUALLY CLICK OFF EVERY COUPLE CENTS. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM, NOT A ONE TIME EVENT.

TANK WILL NOT FILL TO FULL. SEVERAL GALLONS LESS. APPROXIMATELY 3/4 A TANK IS ALL THAT IT WILL ACCEPT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS UNABLE TO BE REMOVED FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT WARNING. TOYOTA VACAVILLE (500 ORANGE DR, VACAVILLE, CA 95687, (707) 446-7000) WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE EXITED WITH THE KEY STILL IN THE IGNITION, WHICH WAS A SAFETY RISK TO THE CONTACT WHEN THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE SECURED AND SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE KEY STILL WOULD NOT EJECT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
