 Description of the problemLike many others who bought a new generation rav4 hybrid (it seems to affect all trims as long as it's hybrid), i cannot get more than maybe 10 gallons in the tank. Advertised is 14. 5 gallons, and there is no such thing as a 4+ gallon reserve in a private vehicle, even commercial vehicles. Toyota responded with "call us" after 5 or 6 emails. I drained it of fuel driving from texas to california, let it run dry until it was electric only, then took it to the gas station (literally right around the corner from where i was), and it still clicked the pump off - to full (though it doesn't read full anymore, it sits just below "f") - at just over 10 gallons. I have squeezed every last drop i could once and it didn't even read 11 gallons from empty, though i don't normally ever do that so the evap canisters don't get burned out. The average mpg and estimated range on the screen adds up with the math for only having about 10 gallons in the tank, 36. 3 average with just over 10 gallons gives me about 300 miles, which is about what the odometer sees per fill from 1/4 full, when i usually fill up. It's been almost a year and toyota has been of zero assistance even acknowledging this, though 2 dealerships in texas (where i bought it) told me it was a known issue, and 2 in hawaii (where i live now) repeated that info. Again, this is a hybrid xse - the premier model for sporting i wanted, the light sporting i do anyway, and it has other problems too. One is decades old with the rav4 (window rattle), the other is with the a/c switching between modes. I can live with the other two, but not getting what was advertised in the fuel tank is worthy of complaint seeing as how many hundreds of others posted online about it this past year. Toyota needs to address this problem before it becomes yet another legal battle for them.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
