Description of the problem | I purchased a 2020 toyota highlander hybrid awd in may 2020. In june 2020, i noticed a discrepancy between the gas gauge abs the distance to empty indicator. The gas gauge said there was 3/4 of a tank left but the dte said i had only 43 miles. I went to the gas station today (october 2020) to fill up my vehicle and filled it until the gas shut-off tripped. I turned on my car and noticed that my gas gauge said it was only 7/8th full. Thinking it tripped too soon i refilled it again but only 0. 5 gallons went into tank before the shut-off tripped again. When i turned on the car this time the gas gauge indicated it was full. I doubt the gas gauge is functioning properly. |
