TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 VOLVO S60. THE CONTACT SMELLED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AND NOTICED A PUDDLE BY THE FUEL TANK. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL OF HIS VEHICLE.

THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
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 NHTSA'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. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
MY 2001 VOLVO S60, AT 68K MILES, HAD CRACKS IN THE FUEL PUMP, CAUSING A STRONG GAS SMELL DUE TO THE LEAKS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE S60 IN PARTICULAR, SINCE NUMEROUS POSTINGS HAVE BEEN SEEN REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I CALLED THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP, THEY KNEW IMMEDIATELY WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. THIS IS A $1000 REPAIR THAT IS NEARLY CERTAIN FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL. APPARENTLY VOLVO HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, BUT ONLY IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. THE IDEA THAT THE CAR DEVELOPS THIS PROBLEM UPON ENTERING THESE STATES SEEMS AMUSING. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN S60 ISSUE, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION. PERHAPS THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER ALL AFFECTED MODELS/CARS? JOEL MILLER *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
MY 2001 VOLVO S60 STARTED SMELLING LIKE GAS INSIDE THE CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE VOLVO SPECIALIST WHO SERVICES MY CAR AND HE SAID THAT IT WAS CAUSED BY A CRACKED FUEL PUMP CASING. HE SAID THAT IN THE LAST MONTH HE HAS SEEN 5 OR 6 2001 VOLVOS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM IS BECOMING COMMONLY REPORTED AND THAT VOLVO ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM IN NEVADA AND ARIZONA. I THINK THEY NEED TO INCLUDE SOUTH FLORIDA. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR AND THE SERVICE REP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN QUITE A FEW CARDS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT WHILE VOLVO WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME, THEY - THE DEALERSHIP - WOULD REPLACE THE PART FOR ONLY LABOR ($130 X 5 HOURS) AND NOT CHARGE THE $500+ PART. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
CARS SHUT OFF ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH OUT A MOMENTS NOTICE WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD, ONCE AT A STOP SIGN ANOTHER TIME IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR FOR LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. THERE ARE NO SIGNALS OR CODES LISTED ON THE CAR AS TO WHY IT SHUT OFF. CAR DOESN'T HAVE PROBLEM RESTARTING AT ALL. VOLVO DEALER HAS LISTED THIS CAR AS UP TO DATE WITH ALL RECALLS. ISSUE IS YET TO BE RESOLVED, DUE TO MECHANIC'S NOT EXPERIENCING THE SHUT OFF POINT THEY ARE FAILING TO DIAGNOSE THE SITUATION PERIOD. MY SAFETY IS 1ST, HOWEVER MY CAR MAY SHUT OFF AT ANY POINT, SO I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AT ALL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
I HAD THE VERY VERY STRONG GAS SMELL WITH MY 2001 S60 T5 A MONTH AGO BOTH DURING DRIVING AND PARKING. TURNED OUT TO BE A LEAKING FUEL ON THE TOP OF TANK WHICH CAUSE KIND OF WET AT BOTTOM OF CAR AROUND THE TANK. FLOOR DRIPPING ALSO CAN BE SEEN AFTER SEVERAL HOURS PARKING. RECENTLY, SEVERAL COLD ENGINE STAT BECAME HARDER. VOLVO DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF FUEL PUMP WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED(POORLY DESIGNED PLASTIC PUMP HOUSING). I SCARED TO PARK MY VOLVO IN THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL FIRE. I HEARD THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED IN HUNDREDS VOLVOS IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA WHICH CAUSED SAFETY RECALL. I'M WONDERING WHY THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM CAN'T RESULT IN RECALL IN OTHER STATES. HUMAN LIFE SHOULD BE THE SAME VALUE AS VOLVO BUILDERS. I HOPE VOLVO BUILDER MUST RESPECT CUSTOMER LIFE INSTEAD OF JUST SELLING. *TR

LTR RE 2004 VOLVO S60 2.5 T STEERING DEFECT; SEEKING STEERING OF MY VEHICLE BE CORRECTED, RE-ENGINEERED TO THAT OF ANY CURRENT VOLVO SEDAN; PLEASE CONTACT HER BY MAIL OR PHONE WITHIN 14 DAYS OF THIS LETTER. *KB THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE STEERING WELL WHEN MAKING TURNS. THE DEALER PERFORMED A TEMPORARY FIX BY INSTALLING A STEERING RACK LIMITER TO PREVENT THE TIRE RUBBING. THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER BACK ONCE THE PROBLEM RETURNED AND WAS THEN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A STEERING ENGINEERING DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS OFFERING A STEERING REPLACEMENT KIT THAT COULD BE INSTALLED AT NO COST. ONCE THE REPLACEMENT KIT WAS INSTALLED, THE CONSUMER SOON DISCOVERED THE STEERING RADIUS WAS INCREDIBLY DIMINISHED AND THAT SHE COULD NO LONGER MAKE U-TURNS AT AN INTERSECTION. THE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THE STEERING KIT WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION THAT VOLVO OFFERED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE COOLANT LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALER STATED THE RADIATOR WAS LEAKING. *JB

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP
STRONG SMELL OF FUEL WITHIN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. LOCAL VOLVO SERVICE HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED DIRECTLY UNDER THE REAR SEAT OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. APPEARS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE RECALL OF CARS IN NEVADA AND ARIZONA, BUT ALTHOUGH FLORIDA ALSO EXHIBITS SIMILAR CLIMATE CONDITIONS, DOES NOT PERTAIN TO FL VEHICLES PER VOLVO. GASOLINE FUMES WERE VERY STRONG & COULD HAVE VERY LIKELY RESULTED IN FIRE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY VERY SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW. VOLVO CHARGED OVER $900 TO REPAIR. AUTO HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES ON IT. *JB

THERE IS A RECALL # 07V152000 FOR VOLVO S60 2001 T5 CARS IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. IT IS REGRADING FALIURE IN THE FEUL PUMP DUE TO GAS ODOR AND CLIMATE CONDITIONS. I AM USING THE BEST KIND OF GAS AVAILABLE HERE AND I BELEIVE THIS SUMMER WE HAD THE SAME CLIMATE CONDITIONS IN NEVADA AND ARIZONA. THEREFORE, I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHICH IS LEAKING GAS FROM THE FEUL PUMP. THIS IS KIND OF DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH CAUSE POLLUTION. FOR SAFTEY, I AM REPARING THE CAR NOW. BUT PLEASE CHECK IF THIS CAN BE RECALLED FOR THE CARS IN CALIFORNIA. JUST SO I CAN GET MY MONEY BACK. AROUND 750$ FROM THE VOLVO DEALERSHIP. THANKS
