Description of the problem | I purchased my brand new 2020 rav4 hybrid on 7/1/2020 and was told the car is in perfect condition without any issue. Started with 2nd tank of gas fill up, i notice the meter reading is not correct. When i drove the car away on 7/1/2020, the reading show something like "520 miles to empty". With the 2nd tank fill up, the reading changed to "480 miles to empty". When comes to the 4th tank fill up, the read is now showing "410 miles to empty". Also, based on the car specifications, the tank size is 14. 5 gal, but i can only fill up around 10 gallons of gas, the tank would be full. I brought the car to the toyota dealer where i purchased it today. I was just told they need to replace the fuel tank along with some other parts on the almost brand new car. This is not right. Toyota sold the car with major issue to me and without disclose the information at the time of the sale. The issue was long exist before i purchase the car after googled the issue online. They should have disclosed the faulty issue of the car at the time of the purchase. |
