Tl- the contact owns a 2002 volvo s60. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency recall number: 09v483000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump) and took the vehicle to the dealer for repairs.

I was stuck in high way traffic for about 45 minutes, once the traffic cleared I tried to accelerate but could not, I was afraid I was going to get hit because I could not get my vehicle up to a safe speed (the vehicle went into limp mode). I was able to get the car to at least 50 MPH to get it home. This now happens within approx 1-2 miles of driving. Due to the hi cost of repairs for this vehicle I had the diagnostics done first (cost $90.00), the result was a bad mass-air sensor and faulty throttle position sensor. I had the mass-air sensor replaced at a cost of $140.00, I then had the throttle positioning sensor cleaned ( this is what the dealership will do first, because of the hi cost involved in replacing the throttle body & programming it) at a cost of $180.00. The cleaning did not work and therefore the throttle body needs to be replaced and programmed at a cost of $800.00.
Fuel smell inside the car. Fuel pump with cracks spills gas all over the tank below.
Strong fuel smell, especially when standing beside the car. Dealership is unsure what the problem is, but mechanic noticed gas leaking above the tank. There are many people with the same or similar problems (see online volvo forums), and a nationwide recall might be appropriate. I urge the agency, and put it on notice, that failure to act might result in an accident that could be fatal.
Defective: fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump.
For about a week our 2002 volvo s60 has had a strong gasoline odor inside and has been hard to start. The gasoline smell is always there, and starting the car is a problem every time. We live in texas, where it has been extremely hot, and a little research seemed to point to a problem with the fuel pump. We will be taking the car into the volvo dealership soon to be repaired. We believe this repair should be covered under either the recall or warranty, but we are officially filing a complaint to cover our bases.
I have a 2002 volvo s60 that is recalling cars with leaking fuel pumps. We have had this car for about a year and it's been leaking gas slowly and now gas is coming out of our car a lot. I called volvo and they aren't able to repair the car because the warranty expired for my VIN in july 2002. I do think that our car should qualify to be repaired.
I own a 2002 volvo s60 about 4-5 months ago I noticed my car smelt like gas. I thought this was odd since it was winter. I took it into my mechanic and he said it was leaking gas. He then advised me about the recall for 2002 s60s. I looked online about the recall and sure enough my make and model had a recall, so I called volvo, and they quickly dismissed my claim. They said that my VIN did not match the recall. I explained in the online statement that the recall were for cars in hot and dry areas such as az and nv. I live in utah, and I am certain this vehicle has a manufacture defect. I would like to see volvo take responsibility for their mistakes. How can I go about having my vehicle restored?
Extended recall 07v152000 description for fuel pump replacement - fire hazard. Aside from fuel odor, it should include setting of dash mil indicator of odb11 small emissions leak as a precursor indication of fuel leak.
I have a volvo s60 2002 and in october in a chekpoint the border patrol agent noticed an odor of fuel and a leak he was some what alarmed and so I was inspected and so on I started to research for this problem and found that my car had a recall on the fuel pump the federal safety agency campaign 07v152000 that matched all the sy mptoms and so I call to volvo and they said that I don't have a recall but an extended warranty on the fuel pump, and so I went to the dealer left the car picked it up and now my car not only leaks fuel on the outside but inside I have a strong fuel fumes smell as well and so I contacted volvo again now via email and what they said is that they are no exactly responsible for the way their franchises work like the have a mind of their own, the problem for me is that the next available volvo dealer is 4 hors away, so what I am supposed to do! The cost of replacing the fuel pump is like $700.00...................! I do have like a headache like every day because the fumes.....!
Gas smell on 02 volvo s60 like listed on the federal safety agency campaign number 07v152000 and volvo has campaign number r176. This recall should be extended to all states as we all have high temperatures.

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 volvo s60. The contact noticed a very strong fuel odor coming from the fuel pump. From the exterior of the vehicle, the odor was very overpowering, but was also noticeable from inside the passenger compartment. There were also fuel stains on the fuel tank that were noticeable. The dealer refused to repair the vehicle and stated that the repair would cost $850.50 plus tax. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the entire fuel pump needed to be replaced in order to remedy the failure. The federal safety agency campaign id number 07e023000 (service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:master cylinder) and volvo recall number r176 mention identical failures; however, the vehicle does not fall under the climate stipulations of the recall. The failure mileage was 157,000 and current mileage was 169,000.
I have a 2002 s60 volvo. It is hard to start when cold and there is a slight gas odor. The federal safety agency campaign # is 07v15200 and volvo campaign is r176. I understand it is a faulty fuel pump and volvo refuses to replace it because I do not live in nevada or arizona. I live in florida abd it is hot here also.
I own a 2002 volvo s60 and have had a strong fuel odor. It does not start right away when turning the key, most times it takes pumping the pedal for the car to start. I live in north carolina where the weather is hot. I have read in a recall (the federal safety agency has a campaign number 07v152000 and volvo has campaign number r176 ) that this problem is a recall but only for arizona and nevada. This recall should be for all states especially states like nc and florida that get just as hot. This is a safety issue for other states also.
Experience extreme gas smells which permeated into the house via garage walls. After having it inspected by a mechanic, it was determined that there was a crack in the delivery mechanism of the tank. Replaced parts and problem has been corrected.
This is in reference to the federal safety agency campaign no. 07v152000. Ref. Fuel system, gasoline: delivery:fuel pump. In this case you indicate that the problem involves vehicles registered in arizona and nevada. I am having this problem with a vehicle in florida. Maybe this problem is not limited to only 2 states.
I noticed a fuel smell coming from the passenger compartment, which steadily got worse. I brought it to my mechanic and found the fuel pump was leaking. I paid to have it replaced.
Fuel pump leakage and smell inside and outside of volvo s60. This is a known issue and volvo has issued a recall in the states of nevada and arizona for a defective plastic pump housing. R176 is volvo's recall number and the federal safety agency's number is 07v152000. Volvo refused to replace my fuel pump as I'm in florida. The local volvo dealer did not have the fuel pump in stock because it was on national backorder so they know there is a problem with the design yet refused to acknowledge anything was wrong. I believe volvo is being dishonest about fixing their safety defects.
Fuel smell volvo s60 year 2002 the federal safety agency has a campaign number 07v152000 and volvo has campaign number r176.
Leaking gas from the top of the gas tank. Currently have a the federal safety agency campaign number 07v152000 that only covers cars in arizona and nevada.
My volvo leaks gasoline fumes. Upon some investigation I found the federal safety agency has a campaign number 07v152000 and volvo has campaign number r176 addressing this exact problem. Volvo will only fix these problems at dealer cost in arizona and nevada. How is this? This makes no sense.
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 volvo s60. While driving 15 MPH, the contact smelled gasoline throughout the entire vehicle. The dealer stated that his VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 07v152000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:fuel pump). He took the vehicle to the dealer and they confirmed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The contact paid for the replacement, but stated that it should have been the manufacturer's responsibility. The failure and current mileages were 68,000.
The federal safety agency campaign number: 07v152000 I have the same issue with my fuel pump on my 2002 volvo s60, but because I am not in arizona or nevada, volvo won't replace my fuel pump. Just because I live in california doesn't mean have less chance of a fire.
While pulling out of a parking spot 2 months ago, the engine of my 2002 volvo s60 2.4t w/37,500 miles, began sputtering, and when I got onto a major roadway, the car suddenly went into "limp" mode, whereby it went 5 miles per hour maximum. The sudden change in speed almost resulted in my car getting rear-ended. I took the car to the dealer, cherry hill volvo in new jersey, and they diagnosed the problem as pertaining to the electronic throttle module (etm). The dealer said that the etm needed to be cleaned, and they proceeded to clean it. A week ago, I found out that the federal safety agency 06v‑441 was issued, which addresses this exact problem. However, I was told by volvo that my car, since it's a turbo, was not included in the federal safety agency list, but it should be.
I was driving a car and it just lost all power and told me that the engine is underperforming. The throttle just dropped and even though the car was running , it was unable to accelerate. I thank god this happened at night on a highway where there was room to pull over safely. I do not even want to think what could have happened to myself or others if this happened during the day in busy highway traffic. I would strongly urge volvo to help me resolve this issue. This puts the lives of my family at very high risk. And I thought volvo claims to be a safe vehicle ? Please help.
I was having trouble with the car stalling and upon taking my 2002 volvo s 60 to the dealer (bozzanni volvo in covina, ca. They handled that problem by cleaning the throttle body assembly for a cost of about $500.00. About two months later the same problem occurred and this time they replaced the entire throttle body assembly for a cost of about $800.00. When I questioned the dealer about the problem, he told me that it was no longer under warranty and that the repair charge and repair itself was necessary and that there was nothing else they could do. The car had about 55,000 miles on the odometer and I felt that they did not do the job properly in the first place and that the repair work should have been completed under warranty. I have been keeping up with the current investigations on volvo and their throttle body assembly failures. While my car is an early 2002 mild pressure turbo, I feel that current investigation should encompass other years because the problems is quite similar. This occurred early on in 2005 and I have the old parts and the dealer paperwork on the repair.
