| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Under normal driving conditions started smelling fuel inside the car. it was determined to be a leak in the fuel tank. it was leaking from the seam of the fuel tank which is plastic. the location of the leak was next to were the exhaust pipe runs. this, in my opinion, could have resulted in a fire or explosion. i feel lucky. when the fuel tank was replaced i discovered it was redesigned, thus leading me to believe this was a know problem to volvo. i was also required to replace the level sensor because it was not compatable with the new design. i am also going to be contacting volvo about this situtation. |
