Fuel tank does not properly fill, and often results in gas spilling out of the vehicle as a owner is forced to manually "top off" the vehicle to fill the tank. Others are experiencing this same issue: Https://www.rav4world.com/threads/difficulty-with-getting-fuel-tank-full.298909/

I can never get a full tank of gas. The most I've ever been able to put in still leaves me several notches below full. I get about 400 miles per tank whereas it was at least 430 after the dealer filled it.

There is no indicator or low fuel warning when the fuel tank is empty. Plus when filling from empty to full and the gasoline station fuel pump kicks off, only 8 to 9 gallons of gasoline (the tank capacity is 14.5 gallons) is put into the vehicle's fuel tank and the fuel tank indicator only reads 7/8 of a tank.

I purchased a 2019 Rav4 hybrid in April of 2019. One issue with the car that I have not gotten a resolution for is that the fuel gauge is inaccurate. On filling the tank, it only shows about 7/8 full. The only way to get it totally full is to 'top it off' which is illegal in Oregon where I live. The fuel tank holds 14.5 gallons. On the way back from a recent trip, I let the fuel gauge go down until the dash board screen said I had 13 miles left until I was going to be out of fuel. I told the gas station attendant help me this one time by 'topping off' the tank to check the gallons needed. The tank was full after adding just 12 gallons. That means I had 2.5 gallons left in the tank when the dash board fuel warning said I had 13 miles to go before I was out of gas. This vehicle consistently gets 40-45 mpg. I feel it is dangerous not to have the correct fuel total available. I took the vehicle into my Toyota dealer (lithia Toyota of springfield, Oregon) in may of 2019 to have this issue checked out. The dealer said the did a thorough check of the systems that may be involved, but could find no problem. I am not aware of any recalls by Toyota concerning this matter.

My 2019 Toyota Rav4 hybrid has a 14.5 gallon fuel tank. I bought it new two months ago and have almost 5,000 miles on it. In the two months since I've owned it, the fuel tank has never allowed me to fill it more than 11 gallons. If I try to top it off, it will just continually click off every couple cents. This is an ongoing problem, not a one time event.

Tank will not fill to full. Several gallons less. Approximately 3/4 a tank is all that it will accept.

While driving down I-25 South of denver, co in heavy traffic at 75 mph, the engine abruptly shut off. I suddenly had no engine power, power brakes or power steering. Luckily I was able to coast to the shoulder, but came close to hitting or being hit by several vehicles. When we made it to the shoulder all the warning lights and messages were appearing on the dash. After letting the car sit a few minutes I restarted it, and it did run, though all the warning lights were still on. There was a dealership 9 miles from my location, so I slowly made my to arapahoe Toyota. They ran a diagnostic and said that something caused the fuel to be shut off to the engine. They did not know why, and could not replicate the problem. They suspect it is an electrical issue as I also found out that the right rear brake light does not work intermittently. Since they could not replicate the problem, and had no loaner cars, they essentially told me to come back the following Monday and hope for the best in the meantime. Since I was heading to vacation this is impractical, so I was stuck driving a car I'm afraid to drive. My next step is I am taking the vehicle to the nearest dealership in fort collins, co, and tell them what happened and that I want the issue resolved, the brake light electrical issue fixed, and be assured that the car is safe. I've never had a vehicle die while driving like that, let alone one with only 4580 miles. I'm apprehensive about driving the car 26 miles in the mountains to the nearest dealership, and so far Toyota has been no help.

When filling my tank, auto-shutoff happens when the tank is at least 2 gallons shy of being full. I know this because my gas gauge does not indicate full and I am able to add an additional 2-2.5 gallons to my tank, though it takes a while because I have to push through all the auto shutoffs. It happens every time I fill up regardless os the station I'm fueling at.

Vehicle will not accelerate when pushing down on the gas pedal. This can occur when leaving a parking place or. From a traffic light. The engine does not stop running. It has only happened three times, but could cause an accident. The Toyota dealer could not duplicate this at the 5000 mile inspection and there are no codes set nor does it set a check engine light when it happens.
