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 When I called the volvo dealer I was told that the extended warranty was no longer valid and it would cost $1,000.00 to have it fixed.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.

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

Bought our 2008 volvo xc90 in 2010. Last spring we noticed a very strong fuel smell coming from inside and out side the vehicle that became stronger the more we drove it and for some time after it was parked. Looked it up on u-tube, the fuel sending unit (fuel pump) under the back seat leaks over time especially in hotter climates. There were several different complaints on line due to this same issue, concluding a defective part on the fuel pump that forms a crack on top and leaks fuel when vehicle is in use.. Called volvo main office, gave them the VIN # and they said "no, not any list !!" so we took it to the nearest volvo dealer in las vegas, all most 2 hours away. We also wanted to know why the check engine light was yellow. Turns out that it was the fuel pump and they would gladly replace it for $487.00 but would not be able to do the work until our next visit-had to order the new pump. They had us sign a waiver before we left because they " recommend vehicle not be driven due to this being a safety issue" have my copy if anyone is interested. We took the vehicle back the next week and they replaced the fuel pump, the check engine light went off , we paid the $487.00 and they gave us a warranty on the new fuel pump for the life of the car . They were very nice and professional. My question is why did we have to pay $480. 00 for a part that was faulty?
