| Description of the problem | After waiting for 10 months, toyota has still not delivered a fix for their known fuel tank capacity problem in their 2019 rav4 hybrid model. Toyota continues to state that the 14. 5gal tank has a capacity of more than 500 miles, while owners struggle to put more than 9-10 gallons into the vehicle. The reduced range and inconsistent fuel level readings have left me unsure as to how much fuel the vehicle actually has, resulting in frequent fuel stops and an observed range of closer to 300miles. |
