| Description of the problem | Toyota advertises the range of its 2019 rav4 hybrid as around 550 to 590 miles on a full tank of gas, of which the capacity is 14. 5 gallons. However, i've been driving mine for 2 months now and have yet to reach the 400 miles mark even when averaging 40mpg fuel economy. The fuel gauge always stops at over one bar from full. This is a well-known defect and has been widely discussed and complaint on many forums. So far toyota and its dealerships have failed to address this issue and the most common answer customers usually get is "there's no such problem, try another gas pump". This is simply unacceptable coming from such a large and reputable automaker such as toyota! |
