Measure the distance you get for a tank and then reset the distance to empty. I have a '17 Rav4Hybrid Limited. Has anyone checked if the air holes on the tank are actually open? The information concerned a “Fuel Gauge Concern,” and says: “Some 2019 model year RAV4 HV customers may be experiencing some concern related to fuel gauge reading less than full…The meter may display somewhere around 3/4 or 7/8 full at time of gas station pump auto stop.”. In an email to AN, Davis said, “On highway trips, when the gas gauge reads between 1/8-1/4, it will take about 9-9.5 gallons max in a fill-up.

Finally, Toyota has sent something in writing to owners. This article and the comments that follow have certainly caused me to hold off purchasing a new Toyota RAV 4 Hybrid.

re: 2021 rav4 hybrid fuel tank issue Spoke to dealer today about the 2021s. That’s a 10% difference. The low fuel light comes on even sooner, normally indicating (via the onboard calculations) 40 miles to E. However we already established that E isn’t zero gallons there is clearly a good safety margin before you run dry.

Road noise is very present.

This is not only an issue when traveling long distances – it also determines whether you fill up once a week or every 4 days for a commuter vehicle.).

Did anyone else receive this? A Toyota RAV4 Hybrid fuel tank class action lawsuit alleges the vehicles cannot reach the advertised mileage range of 580 miles because the tanks cannot hold the required 14.5 gallons of fuel. They have opened themselves up to class action lawsuits, destroying their reputation as a reliable manufacturer and risking their sales. They have put greed and profit above customer satisfaction. That’s great and all, but drive it fast enough, still at legal speeds, and it drops to F-150 mpg. Have they looked into a talk to see if there are 4 gallons left when the light comes on? I don’t know why the EPA should call for testing at a speed that is 1) not legal and 2) far above what most people not in the mountain west are experiencing most of the time.

The gas pump allegedly shut off prematurely each time he tried to fill the RAV4 Hybrid to the advertised capacity of the fuel tank. Toyota does recommend drivers get gasoline immediately when this warning light comes on. When it can hardly go 472 when gas tank shows empty.

I have had the (defective faulty) Rav4 Hybrid for almost a year, the DTE computer is also inaccurate due to the gas tank issue. But I do wonder if anybody has run one a late model RAV4 out of gas and seen how much fuel it takes then. The best selling vehicle among people that make over 250k a year is…wait for it, the Ford F150. Yet 44 mpg with AWD, the SF Sport would get 24 mpg at their best.
