| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2001 volvo s60 2.4t. i have lately noticed a strong gasoline odor on the passenger side of the vehicle. i have taken the vehicle to the dealer and they tell me the gasoline pump needs to be replaced because there is a plastic cap the joins the pump to the gas tank that is cracked and that is causing gasoline to leak. i have researched with several service shops, and they tell me they have seen many occurrences with these model for that problem, which for a 5 year old car seems unacceptable. it is a very expensive part and labor and it seems it all caused because of a defective plastic "cap" that joins the pump to the tank. i had the dealer replace the part, but seems to me this is a major problem that should be covered by a manufacturer's recall. also, the car has plastic or fiberglass molding that run on top between the doors and ceiling that have built up a lot of rust, which again the dealer states are not covered under any warranty, but again, for a 5 year old car seems unacceptable. *jb |
