2020 Toyota RAV4 complaints

THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE GARAGE 3 DAYS AND WHEN I TRIED TO START THERE WAS NO POWER TO THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. I TRIED TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT AVAIL. CALL TOYOTA THEY SENT SERVICE VEHICLE THAT JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT RUN FOR @ 10 MINUTES. SHUT CAR OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE TOYOTA DEALERSHIP. PER THE DEALERSHIP THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE THAT WAS THE ISSUE. THE BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED BY SOME OTHER ISSUE. TOYOTA NEED TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE ISSUE PROPERLY.

THE 14.5-GALLON GAS TANK IN MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID HAS A DEFECT THAT PREVENTS THE TANK FROM BEING FILLED TO CAPACITY. THIS DEFECT NOT ONLY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL AND STATE GAS TANK REGULATIONS, WHICH PROHIBIT THE SALE OF VEHICLES THAT CANNOT FILL 90 PERCENT OR WITHIN TWO GALLONS OF THEIR NOMINAL GAS TANK CAPACITY, BUT SUFFER FROM A SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCED DRIVING RANGE. THE FUEL TANK DEFECT PREVENTS ME FROM GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR THE VEHICLES' ADVERTISED 550-PLUS-MILE RANGE (I AVERAGE 400-425 GALLONS A TANK), WHICH WAS A MAJOR SELLING POINT AND FOR WHICH I PAID A PREMIUM PRICE FOR; THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY INTERVAL I HAVE TO FILL UP ON GAS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL, I MAY RUN OUT OF FUEL WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT OR LEAVE ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY OR DESERTED ROAD AND WITH A NY WINTER, IT IS JUST NOT SAFE TO BE STRANDED IN THE COUNTRYSIDE WHEN IT IS FREEZING COLD OUTSIDE. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL MAY ALSO DAMAGE MY VEHICLES FUEL SYSTEM TOO! THE OWNER'S MANUAL WARNS THAT IF MY VEHICLE RUNS OUT OF FUEL OR THE FUEL IS TOO LOW, THE HYBRID SYSTEM MAY NOT BE ABLE TO START.

OUR 2020RAV4 HYBRID HAS FAILED TO START TWICE (5/5/2020 AND 12/5/2020) AFTER SITTING ONLY 1-2 DAYS IN OUR GARAGE. IT REQUIRED JUMPING TO BE RECHARGED. FROM THE CARGURUS SITE, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO DEFINITE SOLUTION YET, PERHAPS A BAD BATCH OF BATTERIES, PERHAPS A SOFRWARE UPDATE NEEDED, OR SOMETHING ELSE? TOYOTA NEEDS TO FIGURE IT OUT AND FIX IT! WE DON'T FEEL LIKE A NEW, EXPENSIVE VEHICLE CAN BE DEPENDED ON.

THE FUEL TANK IS RATED AT 14.6 GAL BUT THE MOST I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT IS 11 GAL. THE ISSUE IS CONSISTENT ACROSS EVERY FUELING PERIODS AND AFTER TAKING IT TO THE SERVICE CENTER TWICE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT THE FUEL TANK HAS NO ISSUES. I HAVE SHOWN THE PROOFS TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND YET THEY DENY CLAIMS.

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.

CAR DID NOT START AFTER 2 DAYS OF NOT USING IT.

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT IN MY GARAGE. ONLY HAS 2,200 MILES ON IT. DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERING SAYING PARKING BRAKE MALFUNCTION AND CHECK ENGINE/ OTHER WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. SEEMS TO BE A HUGE ISSUE FROM OTHER REVIEWS. TOYOTA NEEDS A RECALL OR WE NEED TO FILE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT! UNACCEPTABLE. LOOKING INTO CA LEMON LAW.

CAR WOULD NOT START AFTER SITTING UNUSED FOR A FEW DAYS. BATTERY IS FINE; CAR COMPLETELY DEAD.

TOYOTA'S CLAIM OF A 3,500 POUND TOW CAPACITY IS NOT TRUE. I CANNOT TOW A 3,000 POUND HOUSE TRAILER LEGALLY WITH THEIR OEM 4-PRONG WIRING HARNESS. A 7-BLADE PLUG IS REQUIRED TO PASS STATE INSPECTION AND TOYOTA DOES NOT AND WILL NOT PROVIDE THIS HARNESS. FALSE ADVERTISING AND SUCKER PROMOTION IS THE PROBLEM. BAIT AND SWITCH!!! SO SAD. VERY ANGRY!

BATTERY ISN'T HOLDING A CHARGE. TEMPS OUTSIDE ARE GETTING COLDER BUT NOT THAT COLD. DON'T DRIVE IT ON SUNDAYS, BATTERY IS DEAD DEAD ON MONDAY MORNINGS. DRIVE AN AVERAGE OF 30 MILES PER DAY. BATTERY WAS REPLACED BY DEALERSHIP AND STILL SLOW TO START IN THE MORNINGS. NOW RUN IT IDLING FOR 20 MINUTES SUNDAY EVENING TO ENSURE IT STARTS MONDAY MORNING

OUR CAR SAT FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT BEING USED AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. READ ONLINE MANY OTHER RAV4 OWNERS HAVING SIMILIAR ISSUES, SOMETHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY

FUEL TANK DOES NOT FILL COMPLETELY AND SHOWS INACCURATE READING ON THE DRIVER CONSOLE

WHEN THE EMPTY LIGHT ON THE GAS TANK OF MY TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID LE TURNS ON, I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITH 10.5 GALLONS. TOYOTA SPECS STATES THAT THE FUEL TANK SHOULD HAVE A 14.5 GALLON CAPACITY, AND WHEN THE EMPTY LIGHT TURNS ON, THERE SHOULD BE 2.3 GALLONS LEFT OF FUEL IN THE TANK. I HAVE COMMUNICATED THIS TO TOYOTA HEADQUARTERS AND TO ROSEVILLE TOYOTA IN CALIFORNIA, BUT THEY STATE THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT WITHIN THE LIST OF AFFECTED CARS, AND THEY REFUSE TO CHECK ON THE ISSUE TO CONFIRM MY COMPLAINT AND ADD MY VIN TO ANY PROGRAM OR SUPPORT THEY MIGHT HAVE.

CAR HAS APPROX 900 MILES AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES AND JUMP STARTED 3 TIMES. TOYOTA SVC DEPT IS UNABLE TO REPRODUCE OR IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD I'M NOT DRIVING THE CAR ENOUGH AND THAT THEY CAN'T FIX A PROBLEM WHEN THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE CAR WILL START OR NOT, VERY FRUSTRATING.

THE GAS TANK IS RATED AT 14.5 GALLONS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 10 GALLONS OF GAS AT FILL UP ONCE I HAVE GONE 30 MILES AFTER I HAVE 0 MILES REMAINING TO FILL UP. I CAN NOT GO ANYWHERE NEAR 580 MILES AS TOYOTA HAS STATED. I DO GET AROUND 43 MPG DRIVING IN CITY TRAFFIC ONLY.

VEHICLE'S FUEL TANK IS LISTED BY TOYOTA COMPANY AS 14.5 GALLON CAPACITY AND, IN REALITY, THIS TANK'S SHAPE ONLY ALLOWS IT TO FILL TO APPROXIMATELY 9 GALLONS. ADDITIONALLY, THE FUEL GAUGES "MILES TO EMPTY" DOES NOT APPEAR TO READ THE AMOUNT CORRECTLY. I HAVE ALMOST RUN OUT OF FUEL ON THE HIGHWAY AS A RESULT OF THE VEHICLE'S IMPROPER READING. THE ACTUAL GAS IN THE TANK WAS MUCH LOWER THAN THE VEHICLE ITSELF TOLD ME. THE RANGE IS ADVERTISED BY THE MANUFACTURER AT APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES WHEN IN REALITY IT APPEARS TO BE UNDER 300 MILES DEPENDING ON DRIVING CONDITIONS.

REFUELING ALLOWS ONLY AROUND 10 GAL. BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES SIGNIFICANT (100+ MILES) REDUCTION IN POSSIBLE MILEAGE COMPARED TO REPORTED DTE FROM TOYOTA, AND DOES NOT MATCH THE 14.5 GAL. FUEL CAPACITY REPORTED.

NEW 2020 RAV4 HYBRID MAKES LOUD GRINDING NOISE SOMETIMES WHEN PLACED IN REVERSE AND EV MODE IS ENGAGED. APPEARS TO BE FAILURE OF SPRAG-TYPE DEVICE TO DISENGAGE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION FROM ELECTRIC DRIVE SYSTEM. MULTIPLE MEMBERS OF FRANK TOYOTA SERVICE DECLARED IT TO BE NORMAL AND REFUSED TO MAKE ANY WRITTEN ENTRIES EVIDENCING THE COMPLAINT. THEY CLAIMED I WAS MISTAKEN WHEN I POINTED OUT THAT IT DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL THE VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 600 MILES ON IT.

REFUELING FROM EMPTY ALLOWS ONLY AROUND 10 GAL. BEFORE THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES SIGNIFICANT (100+ MILES) REDUCTION IN POSSIBLE MILEAGE COMPARED TO REPORTED DTE FROM TOYOTA, AND DOES NOT MATCH THE 14.5 GAL. FUEL CAPACITY REPORTED.

I JUST BOUGHT A TOYOTA RAV4 2020 HYBRID LIMITED LAST AUGUST 8, 2020. I BOUGHT IT AT BEAVER TOYOTA LOCATED IN ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA. 2. PROBLEM: I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS NO HOOK OR HOLE ATTACHED TO THE SOLID FRAME OF THE CAR THAT THE TOWING CABLE CAN BE ATTACHED TO IN CASE I GET STUCK IN A MUD, SAND, OR SNOW BANK. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO TOW OR PULL SOMETHING OUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO HOOK OR HOLE TO ATTACH THE CABLE TO. 3. EXPECTATION: THIS IS THE FIRST CAR THAT THIS FEATURE IS ABSENT. ALL OF THEM HAD THE CONVENIENT HOLE ATTACHED TO THE FRAME THAT THE CABLE CAN BE HOOKED INTO. I EXPECT TOYOTA TO CORRECT THIS DEFICIENCY. I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT THAT IS EASILY CORRECTED. I CONTACTED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TWICE AND ASK THE PERSON TO TAKE A PICTURE (IN CASE I MISSED IT) UNDERNEATH THE RAV4 2020 HYBRID AS TO WHERE THE CABLE HOOK SHOULD GO INTO. I WAS GIVEN A NUMBER - TOYOTA MOTOR SALES, USA, INC. CASE FILE #2010151369. THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN NOT TAKE A PICTURE, THEY REFERRED ME TO THE MANUAL. THE MANUAL DOES NOT SHOW CLEARLY WHERE TO PLACE IT. I TALKED WITH MANAGER OF BEAVER TOYOTA AND HE SAID THAT HE COULD SHOW ME WHERE TO PUT THE CABLE WHEN I GO THERE. I ALREADY INSPECTED THE UNDERNEATH AND THERE IS NO CONVENIENT/SAFE/STURDY PLACE TO ATTACH IT. 4. RECOMMENDATION: TOYOTA SHOULD ADD THE HOOK OR HOLE ATTACHMENT FOR THE TOWING CABLE. IT SHOULD BE WHERE THE HITCH WOULD BE ATTACHED TO. DID TOYOTA MISS ATTACHING THIS FEATURE AT THE FACTORY ? 5. THIS IS BEYOND WHAT THE DEALERSHIP COU

CAN NOT FILL FUEL TANK TO FULL. ONLY ABOUT 11 GALLONS WHEN IT SHOULD BE AT 14.5. CAN NOT GET MILEAGE TOLD IT SHOULD GET

GAS TANK WILL NOT FILL WITHIN TWO GALLONS OF CAPACITY AND GAS GAUGE DOES NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT FUEL REMAINING.

FUEL GAUGE DOES NOT CORRECTLY SHOW VOLUME IN THE GAS TANK. WHEN GAUGE READS EMPTY AND LIGHT COMES ON ONLY 9-10 GALLONS OF FUEL WILL COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. SUPPOSEDLY CAPACITY IS 14.5 GALLONS.

WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES A SPEED OF 60MPH A GRINDING NOISE COMES FROM THE AREA BETWEEN THE GAS PEDAL AND DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE A RAPIDLY SPINNING METAL DISC IS FREQUENTLY BUMPING INTO A METAL WALL AS THE CAR VIBRATES NATURALLY AT THE HIGHER SPEED. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THIS CAUSES A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT BUT IT DOES BOTHER ALL PASSENGERS AS IT IS A HIGH PITCHED GRINDING NOISE.

APPLE CAR PLAY ISN'T WORKING CORRECTLY, MALFUNCTIONING FREQUENTLY. IT DISCONNECTS OR STOPS WORKING RANDOMLY, CREATING A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. EITHER ITUNES STOPS PLAYING OR NAVIGATION DISCONNECTS WHICH CAUSES A DRIVER TO START FIDDLING WITH THE APPLE CAR PLAY ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN AND TAMPERING WITH THE MOBILE DEVICE OR THE WIRING BETWEEN THE MOBILE DEVICE AND THE USB PORT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SOFTWARE PROBLEM. THROUGH DOING RESEARCH ONLINE (RAV4WORLD AND OTHER SITES), I HAVE NOTICED MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WITH THIS SAME 2020 XSE HYBRID MODEL OF THE RAV4. THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THE ISSUE IS TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND RESTART THE CAR, BUT THE ISSUE HAPPENS TIME AND TIME AGAIN. THE MALFUNCTION OF THIS HANDS-FREE FEATURE IS GOING TO LEAD TO DISTRACTED DRIVING AS DRIVERS ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AND WILL LEAD TO PEOPLE GETTING KILLED DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY.

SO I KNEW BEFORE BUYING THIS CAR THAT IT HAD A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK DESIGN. THE SHAPE OF THE TANK DOESN'T ALLOW FOR THE FUEL VAPOR TO CIRCULATE PROPERLY WHICH IN TURN MAKES THE FUEL WAND THINK THE THE TANK IS FULL WHEN IT REALLY ISN'T EVEN CLOSE. THAT BEING SAID, I TOLD MYSELF IF I NOTICED THIS DEFECT, THAT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS REPORT BECAUSE IT'S THE ONLY WAY TOYOTA IS GOING TO FIX IT FOR LATER CUSTOMERS. THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE SO I FULLY EXPECT TO NEVER SEE A RECALL OUT OF THIS AND ALL OF US ARE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT. THE FIRST SIGN THAT I RECEIVED A DEFECTIVE FUEL TANK WAS WHEN MY FIRST TANK OF GAS ONLY GOT ME 400 MILES. THIS VEHICLE, IF FILLED COMPLETELY SHOULD GET YOU AT LEAST 500 TO 530 MILES ON MIXED DRIVING. SO I PULLED INTO THE STATION AND SURE ENOUGH, THE FUEL HANDLE STOPPED AT 12 GALLONS. THAT'S WITH ABOUT A GALLON IN THE TANK ALREADY SO REALLY ABOUT 11. I THEN PROCEEDED TO FILL THE TANK THE REST OF THE WAY AT ABOUT 1/4 GALLON INCREMENTS AND AFTER 10 MINUTES, I FINALLY GOT IT TO 14.5. NOT TOPPED OFF AT ALL, JUST TO THE TOP OF THE TANK + OR - A QUARTER GALLON. SO AGAIN, MY REASON FOR POSTING THIS IS NOT THAT I'M MAD OR SURPRISED THIS HAPPENED, IT'S JUST SIMPLY TO DO MY PART IN TRYING TO GET TOYOTA TO DO RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO PUTS A SMALL BUT STILL ANNOYING BLACK MARK ON AN OTHERWISE AMAZING VEHICLE.

CAR BATTERY DISCHARGES RANDOMLY.

MY FUEL TANK ONLY FILLS TO 10-11 GALLONS. IT IS A 14 GALLON TANK.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK OF MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID LE. THE TANK CAN NEVER BE FILLED TO IT'S FULL CAPACITY OF 14.5 GALLONS. I CAN ONLY ADD 9 OR SOMETIMES 10 GALLONS AND THE GAS TANK GAUGE SHOWS ONLY 3/4 OF THE TANK FILLED AFFECTING THE MPG AND THE RANGE OF THE VEHICLE.

SMART KEY MALFUNCTION-- 2020 RAV4, PURCHASED MAY OF 2020. FIRST INCIDENT: OCCURRED AFTER VEHICLE SITTING IN A PARKING GARAGE AT AN AIRPORT FOR 4 DAYS. CAME BACK AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND LIGHTS ON DISPLAY PANEL WERE FLICKERING. DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING, AND UPON JUMP STARTING EVERYTHING WAS OK. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD BATTERY WAS BAD, THEY REPLACED BATTERY. SECOND INCIDENT: OCCURRED AFTER CAR PARKED FOR 11 HOURS. VEHICLE WOULDN'T START AND LIGHTS ON DISPLAY PANEL WERE FLICKERING AGAIN. DOOR LOCKS WERE MALFUNCTIONING AGAIN AS WELL.. HAVE ALSO SEEN THAT HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE.. BASED OFF OF A GOOGLE SEARCH AND RESEARCH, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR SOME SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DRAIN ITS OWN BATTERY AT RANDOM TIME INTERVALS.

THE FUEL INDICATOR SHOWS HALF ONLY. THE TANK DOES NOT REGISTER THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF FUEL. THE COMPANY ITSELF NEVER CONTACTED US RE THIS DEFECT. WE TURNED THE CAR IN TODAY AS WE DIDN'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR WITHOUT AN ACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING

FUEL GAUGE/FUEL TANK PROBLEM. TANK HOLDS 14.5 GALLONS, BUT AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF ALLOWS ONLY 10 GALLONS. FUEL GAUGE THEN SHOWS "FULL." DISPLAYS AND FUEL-LOW WARNINGS COME ON AFTER ABOUT 400 MILES, WITH FUEL GAUGE SHOWING "EMPTY."

THE VEHICLE IS HESITATING, JERKING WHEN COMING TO A SLOW STOP AND WHEN GIVING IT GAS. WHEN PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUT OFF. WHEN I TURNED THE CAR BACK ON IT SHOWED THAT THE TANK WAS ONLY 3/4 FULL. I PUT MORE GAS AGAIN AND THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWED.

THE GAS TANK IS NOT ABLE TO BE FILLED. ONLY 9 GALLONS CAN BE ENTERED. THE DRIVE RANGE IS ONLY 400 MIKES VS THE 540 OF THE TANK COULD BE COMPLETELY FILLED

MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID IS SUPPOSED TO GET 4.5 GALLONS OF FUEL, BUT I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL UP TO 9 GALLONS FROM EMPTY. WHEN GETTING FUEL, I TOP OFF AND AM STILL ONLY AVERAGING 9 GALLONS PER FILL UP. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA, BUT NO FIX.

BOUGHT A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 IN EARLY SEPTEMBER,BUT AFTER 1 MONTH IT BEGAN SHOWING, "BATTERY IS CHARGING" FREQUENTLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT COULD BE WRONG. THEY STATED THAT IT IS NORMAL. IT NORMALLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE MESSAGE WILL BE SHOWN ON THE DASHBOARD, "BATTERY IS CHARGING". I PLAN IN TAKING THE CAR AGAIN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET THIS RESOLVED, SINCE I KNOW FOR A FACT IT IS THE BATTERY THAT IT'S MALFUNCTIONING.

2020 RAV4 HYBRID VEHICLE IS RATED FOR AND ADVERTISED AS HAVING AN APPROXIMATELY 580 MILE FUEL RANGE. PURCHASED NEW, AND DROVE OFF THE LOT WITH A FULL TANK AND 7 MILES ON THE ODOMETER, THE EMPTY FUEL TANK LIGHT CAME ON AT JUST LESS THAN 370 MILES OF NORMAL HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING. WENT TO "FILL UP" THE VEHICLE AND IT TOPPED OFF AT ONLY 11 GALLONS. THE TANK CAPACITY IS ADVERTISED AS 14.5 GALLONS. MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT EITHER THE FUEL GAUGE IS DEFECTIVE, OR THE FUEL TANK IS SMALLER THAN ADVERTISED. EITHER WAY, THIS MAKES THE ACTUAL FUEL RANGE OVER 200 MILES LESS THAN ADVERTISED. I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE "RESERVE FUEL" AMOUNT IS 3.5 GALLONS, HOWEVER, TOYOTA USA HAS TOLD ME THE RESERVE AMOUNT IS 2.2 GALLONS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - IIN ORDER TO GET THE FUEL RANGE I NEED, I HAVE TO DRIVE IT NEARLY 200 MILES PAST THE LOW-FUEL INDICATOR, WHICH PUTS ME AT INCREASED RISK OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ON THE INTERSTATE. ADDITIONALLY IT'S NOT CLEAR WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF/WHEN THE FUEL TANK IS DEPLETED. TOYOTA HAS CHOSEN NOT TO INFORM BUYERS OF THIS FUEL GAUGE DEFECT PRIOR TO PURCHASE, AND INSTEAD ACTIVELY ADVERTISES THE LONG FUEL RANGE - THIS FITS THE DEFINITION OF FRAUD, AND IS COMPLETELY UNVERIFIABLE UNTIL YOU PURCHASE AND DRIVE THE VEHICLE HUNDREDS OF MILES. HAD I KNOWN, I PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE OF THIS FUEL RANGE SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOT KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS LEFT IN THE VEHICLE.

AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, WHEN I FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR ACCELERATION THE VEHICLE JERKS EVERY TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE CAR WASH, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. A MONTH LATER AFTER THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO MODERN TOYOTA OF BOONE (225 MODERN DRIVE, BOONE NC, 28607, (828) 263-5437) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE. THE BATTERY WAS RECHARGED AND THE FAILURE WAS FIXED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED OR NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,023.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR. THE CONTACT LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD AND NOTICED THAT THE COOLANT TANK WAS LOW. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WILLIAMS SCION OF ELMIRA (951 COUNTY ROAD 64, ELMIRA, NY 14903) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC FAILED TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE MECHANIC FOUND NO VISIBLE LEAKS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V046000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 6,800.

THIS IS A SPECIFIC CONCERN FOR THE BATTERY/ELECTRIC SYSTEM THAT APPEARS TO BE VERY PREVALENT.. IN THE 3 MONTHS SINCE BUYING MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 LIMITED HYBRID (JUNE 20, 2020)-I'VE HAD TO HAVE MY CAR JUMPED TWICE DUE TO A DEAD BATTERY. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING I WAS NOT DOING CORRECTLY. HOWEVER, AFTER READING THE COMMENTS ON SEVERAL SITES IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THE CAR HAD BEEN DRIVEN THE DAY BEFORE EACH TIME AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. THE SERVICE PERSON WHO CAME OUT TO JUMP IT THE SECOND TIME SAID THAT HE GETS A LOT OF CALLS FOR THESE NEW CARS. THE SECOND TIME IT ALSO LOST MY PARKING ASSIST ON THE BACKUP CAMERA ALONG WITH THE LAST RADIO SETTING. UNFORTUNATELY- TAKING IT TO THE DEALER HAS NOT WORKED FOR MOST OF THE OWNERS. THE DEALER CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG OR EVEN LOCATE THE ISSUE. WHAT HAS TOYOTA DONE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS IS HAPPENING? IS IT SOFTWARE, BATTERY, ELECTRICAL OR A COMBINATION OF THESE?

I HAVE A 2020 RAV4 XLE WITH ABOUT 3,000 MILEAGE. THE CAR BATTERY HAS DIED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I JUMP STARTED THE CAR. THE SECOND TIME, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY A NEW CAR WOULD BE HAVING THESE BATTERY PROBLEMS. HAS ANYONE HAD ANY SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND HAVE SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE?

SIDE VIEW MIRRORS ON DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE VIBRATE WHEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED AND VIBRATE/SHAKE EXCESSIVELY TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS GREATER THAN 50MPH. THIS REDUCES VISIBILITY AND CAUSES NAUSEA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V286000 (SUSPENSION) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE LOCAL DEALER STAPP TOYOTA LOCATED AT 8019 RASPBERRY WAY, FREDERICK, CO 80504, WAS CONTACTED AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I BOUGHT A 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY. I'VE HAD IT NEARLY 6 MONTHS AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REALIZE ANY FUEL EFFICIENCY DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL TANK. MY GAS GAUGE WAS AT 1/4 TANK AND I REFUELED. THE PUMP STOPPED AFTER REACHING 'FULL'. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AFTER 'FILLING UP', THE GAUGE WENT TO 3/4 TANK INSTEAD OF FULL. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, I DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, THEREFORE, I CANNOT TELL IF THE VEHICLE IS EVEN FUEL EFFICIENT. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2003 TOYOTA RAV4 NON-HYBRID AND I'D REFUEL EVERY 2 WEEKS AND IT HAS THE SAME SIZE FUEL TANK THAT THE 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID SUPPOSEDLY HAS (14.5 GALLONS). IT FEELS LIKE THE FUEL TANK IS HALF THAT SIZE. I'M HAVING TO REFUEL MY 2020 TOYOTA RAV4 HYBRID WEEKLY TO KEEP FROM LEAVING ME STRANDED BECAUSE THE GAS GAUGE IS READING INCORRECTLY. TOYOTA NEEDS TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE ASAP.

BATTERY "DIED" THE BEGINNING OF AUGUST - JUMP STARTED AND DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THAT "SHORT DISTANCE" DRIVING CAN DRAIN THE BATTERY - SINCE I DRIVE 45 MILES A DAY TO AND FROM WORK, THAT IS NOT A VALID "EXCUSE". NOW, 3 WEEKS LATER, MY CAR WAS PARKED ON A FLAT SURFACE FOR 36 HOURS WITH NOTHING LEFT ON - AND THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DEAD. TESTED THE BATTERY MYSELF BEFORE JUMPSTARTING IT - AND IT FULL. ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHY MY CAR SHOULD NOT START.

CAR BATTERY DIED AFTER ONE DAY OF SITTING WITHOUT USE. DEALER DID NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. BUT IT HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES. TOYOTA DEALER OFFERED NO SOLUTION AND MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

CAR DOES NOT FILL UP WITH FUEL TO MANUFACTURER SPECIFICATIONS. CANNOT GET MORE THAN 10 GALLONS INTO 14.5 GALLON TANK. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
