There is a clear and present problem. This is my first I’m ever dealing with an issue like this and it appears present with only the hybrid models.
You could bring this under lemon law under some states. A few news channel picked up and are reporting on this story. Watch it!!

Of course this won’t stop the sale of MY2020 sales because people don’t know of the problem until they have it. I’m also glad that there is a lawsuit on it now. Toyota already acknowledged this publicly that there is a problem. Moreover, they’ve issued an internal bulletin to the dealers about the gas tank problem.

I'm curious about when the fuel gauge shows empty on the UX 250h. I currently have a CT 200h. It has a 12 gallon gas tank, but the gauge says it's dead empty when there's still 3 gallons in the tank. Range indicator also says 0 miles at that point. I understand it relates to the fuel pump design, and it's better not to let the tank run too low.
Anyway, I saw the UX has just a 10.5 gallon gas tank in the hybrid, and I wondered if it said it was empty after using just 7.5 gallons.

Edit - I was driving yesterday and I do have a range indicator that seems to be fairly accurate. I hope it stays that way.
Well further edit. Now I'm really confused. The tank was full when I bought the car and I've been driving it as far down as possible to get a feel for the gauges. I was down to 17 miles left to drive and the fuel gauge was almost on empty, so I was afraid to drive it much farther because I didn't know if 17 miles meant I would be totally out of gas or something else. Apparently it means something else because I filled my tank up with 8.8 gallons. If a Ford Escape can tell me how many more miles I can drive before empty, why can't my new car????? Is there no way to have this reset?
