| Description of the problem | My toyota rav4 hybrid will only accept 9-10 gallons of gas when filling from empty. The tank is supposed to hold 14. 5 gallons. I first brought the issue to the dealership in 2019 and they claimed to have not heard of the issue before. I brought it to their attention again on my last visit in june 2020 knowing that it was a known issue at this time- a gas tank malformation. I was told there would be a fix in august 2020. There is still no recall or service bulletin for this issue and it causes me to fill up way too frequently considering i purchase a hybrid to get better mileage. |
