Vehicle has less than 500 miles and when picked up - dealer claimed tank was not filled up with a somewhat odd reason-

I attempted to fill it and it took solely one gallon and it shows about 3/4 full on gauge . This happened again.

Any thoughts?


Thank you

Toyota RAV4 Fuel Tank Issue / Not Full

It’s been an issue for a better part of a decade

Take it back to the dealer

Thank you very much......I have researched based on your response and it is a significant and protracted issue - it is tragic that it is not resolved and furthermore that a dealer upon filling a tank for a new vehicle cannot connect the apparent dots - its called being professional and caring and communicating - thank you

FWIW - My month old NX450+ was full when delivered and just turned 600 miles. The fuel gauge reads half full. I filled up this morning, and it took 7 gallons. Gauge now read "full".

Thank you for your kind note......in the case I face -with the gauge indicating that I need slightly more than a quarter of a tank..... I have purposely filled my tank twice and it literally only takes 1.5 gallons and the the gas pump shuts off - ( sign of indicating its full) while the gauge reading remains the same....i then took it to other premium gas station minutes later - thinking that it may be the gas pump thats off - did the same exercise and the gas pump shut off virtually immediately - seems to be a Lexus NXh+ issue - that appears to have first occurred when the Dealer filled it. I shall be going back to the dealer- this is not the way Toyota builds cars......furthermore based on the thread it appears to be an issue that is called in the auto industry a hearty perennial! Not Good ! Thank you
