| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 volvo s60 t5, 100,800 miles. the following condition has been intermittent over the last month or so, but is now consistent to the point to be able to be located. we are experiencing extreme gasoline order within and around the vehicle in hotter weather (>90f). living in phoenix summer vehicle temps exceed 110f on a daily basis. when contacting local volvo dealer, the service writer stated that he is seeing a lot of failures of the fuel pump which vents fumes at higher temperatures. fuel pump still operates fine. a quick search of the internet indicate that this issue is becoming more common. we now leave the vehicle outside of the garage for fear of an explosion ignited by the homes' hot water heater. quoted repair is $612. vehicle design should protect the consumer from flammable vapor from the gas tank well beyond 5 years. please advise me if other volvo owners have also reported this condition. thank you. *jb |
