2020 Toyota RAV4 Fuel Propulsion System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	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.
