| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: (1) strong gasoline odor coming from the car. took vehicle to volvo dealer who claimed they could not discern any odor nor find any gas leak (they did charge a $95 diagnostics charge for the gas odor, and did manage to "find" multiple other service "requirements" during this visit). picked up car and returned home with gasoline smell still apparent. (2) the following day the smell was so bad that the vehicle was barely drivable, and i was concerned about the safety hazard created by obviously uncontained fuel . took the vehicle to local service station who confirmed the strong odor and investigated. (3) problem was isolated to a broken gas line internal to the fuel pump by the gas tank. fuel pump was replaced and the problem was resolved. *tr |
