WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE PUMP WILL STOP BEFORE THE GAS TANK IS FULL, USUALLY 2-3 GALLONS SHORT OF BEING FULL. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I TRY TO FILL THE TANK SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN MAY, 2019. THIS RESULTS IN MORE FREQUENT STOPS AT THE GAS STATION OR MAKING EFFORTS TO TRY TO TOP OFF THE GAS TANK BY TRYING TO SLOW DOWN THE GAS BEING PUMPED IN. WITH A VERY SLOW RATE, THE GAS PUMP MAY NOT SHUT OFF THEN LEADING TO FUEL SPILLAGE.

AFTER ENTERING AN ADDRESS, I DECEIDED NOT TO GO THERE. THE GPS CANNOT BE READDRESSED OR DELETED WITH A SIMPLE COMAND. IT IS MOST DISTRACTING TO HEAR THE REPETITION OF THE PREVIOUS ADDRESS WHILE DRIVING. NO ONE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP COULD GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO DELETE THE GPS, EXCEPT TO TURN IT OFF.

WHENEVER I FILL THE CAR WITH GAS, IT DOESN'T GET COMPLETELY FULL. IT LEAVES THE TANK ABOUT A QUARTER FROM FULL. ALSO, THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE WELL. IT HESITATES.

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN LATE AUGUST I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MORE THAN 8 GALLONS OF FUEL INTO THE 14.5 GALLON TANK. DUE TO THIS ISSUE THE CAR HAS ALSO ONLY BEEN SHOWING IT'S GETTING AROUND 25 MPG WHEN IT WAS ADVERTISED BETWEEN 35-40. I HAVE ALSO BEEN HAVING COMPUTER ISSUES AND KEY FOB ISSUES WITH THE CAR. TOYOTA CORPORATE ACKNOWLEDGED SOMETHING IS WRONG BUT HAS NO ETA ON A FIX. I OFTENTIMES DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AS I NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH GAS IS IN IT AS THE TANK AND COMPUTER SYSTEMS ARE SO OFF.

THIS DEFECT IS CAUSING ME TO FILL UP MORE OFTEN THAN NON HYBRID VEHICLES.

I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE (PUSH BUTTON) AFTER PARKING. THE ENGINE RAN FOR MORE THAN 5 HOURS UNTIL I RETURNED. UNLIKE THE TRADITIONAL KEY THAT MOST OF US REMEMBER TO TAKE IT AFTER PARKING. REMOVING THE KEY WILL TURN OFF THE ENGINE. I AM OF THE OPINION THAT THIS A CRITICAL SAFETY ISSUE: 1. THE ENGINE COULD OVERHEAT IN HOT SUMMER AND MAY EVEN CATCH ON FIRE 2. ANYONE CAN DRIVE THE CAR AWAY WITHOUT THE KEY. LOW OR TOTALLY NO KEY SIGNAL MEANS THE DRIVER IS NOT NEAR TO THE CAR. THE ENGINE SHOULD NOT BE RUNNING AT ALL. FOR THE LEAST, THERE SHOULD BE SHOULD BE SOME LOUD ALERT. THE RAV4 BUILT-IN TECHNOLOGY HAS AN AUTO SHUT OFF FEATURE ON ACC MODE AFTER CERTAIN PERIOD AND REMOTE ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE. ONE CANNOT START THE CAR WITHOUT THE KEY NEARBY. WHY CANNOT TOYOTA INCORPORATE THE AUTO OFF FEATURE ON THE KEY SIGNAL LEVEL, I.E. BELOW CERTAIN KEY SIGNAL LEVEL TURN THE ENGINE OFF AUTOMATICALLY. I HAVE REPORTED TO TOYOTA. IT APPEARS THAT TOYOTA IS NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING AT THIS MOMENT.
