Filed Nov 22, 2024 · Electrical, Engine · NV

Unsure of what the issue is with the vehicle but smells like gas in my garage and I found a recall I was never notified about I moved from Washington to Las Vegas and never received any info regarding the fuel pump recall as well as a noise that’s been going on for a year now when I drive at 60 miles an hour I’ve had it looked at and no one seems to know what that issue is

Few days ago I came home, parked the car inside the garage and went inside. An hour later I went to the garage for something and noticed a very strong gasoline odor coming from the car. It is not coming from the reservoir and I did not put any fuel recently, so it can't be explained with a fuel spill. I suspect it is coming from the fuel pump. I as hoping or it to goo away, but it did not. It has been a week already.

The fuel pump under the back seat is cracked and leaking fuel. This is referenced in the federal safety agency recall number 09v483000. O'steen volvo in jacksonville refuses to acknowledge there was ever a problem with this. It is all over the internet.the vehicle is not driveable as is. The car is soaked with gasoline. Apparently the fuel pump housing dries out from heat and cracks. We need some help here. It would be better if someone in saint augustine florida could do this recall work for us as we really don't want to deal with o'steen after they have blown us off.

A few years ago I received a extended warranty for a fuel pump recall. My fuel pump is now leaking gas and filling the car with gas fumes. When I called the volvo dealer I was told that the extended warranty was no longer valid and it would cost $1,000.00 to have it fixed. I called the vehicle safety hotline and was told that my VIN number wasn't included in the recall and I would need to file a complaint. The car is 16 years old and is in good condition I feel that as volvo knows that the fuel pump is a safety issue that all cars that have the same fuel pump issue that are still driving the highways should be included in the recall. Nothing happened other than the heavy fuel smell that fills the car when driving and the fuel can be smelled outside of the car after it has been turned off. I have had the car fixed but think that the fuel pump issue should still be addressed. I didn't have an accident and there was no fire, but there could have been.

Raw gas smell. Told by dealer may be dangers to drive and park out of garage so fumes don't accumulate. Garage has natural gas heat and gas water heater. Some cars sold in other states have had recalls, under volvo recall # 220. This car has been used in some states named in summer months. I am orig owner.

Bought the vehicle with 112,000 miles on it, it has a gas leak trickling down the side of the gas tank, probably a bad sending unit, fumes are bad some days but worse on warmer days. The transmission failed one day with no warning or light, it just lost momentum and failed to engage in drive. I think this is due to the poor engineering design volvo used. This model is the t6 with the gm 4t65e transmission which is widely known to fail even at low miles. I think a full safety recall should e sanctioned for all model years with these horrible problems

We smelled a gasoline odor and the "check engine" light came on so we took our volvo to a dealer to inspect. They said that there was a crack in the top of the fuel tank. I am the original owner and have taken meticulous care of this vehicle so that sounded very strange. The car only has 108,000 miles in 15 years. I now see where this model was recalled for fuel pump replacement several years ago but it was while I was out of the country for two years (2004-2006) on a project for my employer. I had my parents keep the car while I was gone and none of us received the notice about the recall. Shouldn't volvo still have to honor this recall since I was not aware of it at the time? According to your recall campaign 09v‑483 my car would have been included in the recall group, although my VIN number doesn't show up under the recalls now...could it be that the campaign is over so it doesn't show up now? Volvo customer care knew about this problem when I called them on friday but are hemming and hawing about doing anything about it. It seems a cracked fuel tank could catch fire.
