2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid Fuel system Problems

“Fuel gauge and fuel tank do not operate properly, like the 2020 rav 4 gas tank problem. On 2/8/21 when the gauge indicated 1/2 tank, I put in 9.997 gal of gas, since this car only has a 14 1/2 gal tank the tank must not have been 1/2 full. On 2/14/21 the gauge read 2/3 , I pumped gas and the pump shut off at 1.1 gal, I slowly added gas as the pump kept clinking off till I got a total of 1.743 gal of gas into the tank. I started the engine and the gas gauge still read 2/3, so I started the gas pump again slowly added another 1.287 gal of gas. …”

“My 2021 Toyota Venza Hybrid le claims to have a 14.5 fuel tank capacity by Toyota but mine will only fill up to around 11 gallons when it gets to empty. I took the vehicle in twice to Toyota's service department and they confirmed my vehicle was only filing up to 11 gallons but that this was 'normal and part of the design since it has a reserve of gas.' however, the new Toyota rav4 hybrids are reporting the same exact issue which Toyota has acknowledged. Both vehicles share the same engine, hybrid system, and same 14.5 fuel tank and are almost identical mechanically. …”

“I am submitting this complain regarding my 2021 Toyota Venza, which has developed a serious defect involving the fuel system. Although my vehicle is fairly new, I began experiencing problems with the fuel door not opening properly. Initially, I could not access the fuel cap, which left me unable refuel in a timely manner. Soon after, I noticed additional fueling issues: while attempting to refuel, the gas pump would repeatedly shut off and stop the fueling process. …”

“I was turning onto traffic and I tried pressing the gas pedal and nothing happened. I was in instant shock as I feared I was gonna be hit then I pressed the gas pedal again and I was able to accelerate properly. This just recently happened but hasn't happened again since.”

“On numerous equations, when I press on the gas pedal the car does not react from either the hybrid battery or from the engine. I will depress the pedal and the car pauses for a few seconds before it moves forward. This has happened multiple times at different mileages but until this report, I did not think much of it since it was not in a near collision situation. On two occasions as I am pulling into traffic I will put my foot on the gas and since I get no reaction, the cars coming towards me have been very close to hitting me. …”
