""Our Grand Highlander has a fuel tank capacity issue. When the tank is empty with light on, the tank stops filling with approx 10-11 gallons, tank capacity is supposed to be approx 17 gallons. The miles till empty shows 360. A full tank should have 450 miles till empty. This has been reported to Honda since the first maintenance, on April 10, 2024 they opened a case, Case# 241010043. We've checked with our Toyota numerous times, all they say is Toyota is still investigating. We bought this care for road trips, the short capacity is extremely disappointing, as is Toyota's failure to act over the past year.""
