Toyota is having issues filling up the tank as the specs says (Owners manual book). According to the Owners manual book, the Gas tank of these vehicles are 17.2 Gallons and 2.6 of those are saved for the reserved. In theory, we should have 14.6 Gallons to fill-up as soon as we see the "Empty sign" on the vehicles. Now, the thing is that even after this happens, we can only fill-out up to 11.5 gallons. I have tried several times, saving the history on FUELLY, and its always the same. I have asked the dealership and they don't know what to do. …

The fuel tank capacity according to the vehicle specifications should be 17gallons. I have refilled the vehicle three times after reaching empty (around 20mi left according to the gauge), and when I fill the tank it only takes about 11 gallons to fill. That is a significant difference. Even with a reserve, I should be putting around 15 gallons in the tank when it is on empty to fill it. I am concerned that the tank is not the correct size or there is a problem with the fuel level sensor.

Published 2024 Toyota Hybrid Grand Highlander (TGH) specifications, the TGH owners manual and dealer information provided indicated the vehicle has a 17.2 gallon fuel tank. However, the most fuel I am able to get in the tank is between 11 and 11.5 gallons. I've had the vehicle in to fix the defect on three occasions; 2023-11-27, 2024-3-11, & 2024-8-13 to no avail. On the second service, Toyota's technician said the tank had 16.8 gallons remaining when I picked it up, I had filled it the previous day and driven approximately 15 miles. Once th…

I have a 2024 Grand Highlander and when I get to empty the most I can put in it is 10 1/2 gallons of gas. Toyota said I had a 17.2 gallon gas tank. I’ve called Toyota. They set up a appointment. They were going to pull the gas tank and check the sensor. The dealership said oh no you have a 5 gallon plus reserve in that we have the same problem with the RAV4, the problem is because on trips you have to keep stopping for gas when I get 325 to 340 miles it tells me I’m empty when I fill up it says I can go 520 to 540 miles the most I’ve ever been …
