| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2001 volvo v70 t5 (1) recognized strong smell of gasoline in garage over period of 2-3 days. i inspected the vehicle after a short drive (5-6 miles) and discovered gasoline leaking from the gas tank area, staining the bottom of the tank and dripping onto the ground. (2) vehicle represented a safety and health hazard due to the leaking fuel. (3) vehicle was immediately towed to a local volvo dealer service center and diagnosed with a "crack in top of fuel pump." the dealership "replaced faulty fuel pump (58r) observing no further leaks at this time" at owner's expense. note: further investigation by the owner revealed volvo recall no. r176 (nhtsa recall # 07v152000) discovered faulty fuel pumps of the same type and manufacture on 2001-02 volvo s60 sedans sold or registered in arizona and nevada. this is obviously a defective fuel pump, poses a threat to personal and public safety and i believe volvo should accept responsibility for replacing these fuel pumps free of charge to vehicle owners and/or reimbursing replacement expenses. *tr |
