  STRONG FUEL SMELL, ESPECIALLY WHEN STANDING BESIDE THE CAR. DEALERSHIP IS UNSURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT MECHANIC NOTICED GAS LEAKING ABOVE THE TANK.

• 11/18/2008· STEERING

  2002 VOLVO S60 2.4T MODEL. PICKED UP MY CAR FROM AN AUTHORIZED VOLVO REPAIR CENTER FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND WAS ADVISED THAT I NEEDED A NEW GEAR BOX. THIS GEAR BOX RUNS AT A COST OF $2,000 WITH ABOUT 4 OR 5 HOURS OF LABOR AT $400. THE CAR HAS ONLY 77,000 MILES ON IT AND I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IT IS PREMATURE FOR THIS PART TO FAIL. I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET REFERENCES ON THE TOPIC AND FIND IT TO BE SOMEWHAT WIDESPREAD. I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME FEEDBACK ON THE ISSUE AS I PLAN TO ADDRESS VOLVO CORPORATE FOR A RESOLUTION. *TR

• 11/16/2007· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE AND SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VOLVO S60. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND VOLVO HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN THE STATES OF NEVADA AND ARIZONA FOR A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PUMP HOUSING. R176 IS VOLVO'S RECALL NUMBER AND NHTSA'S NUMBER IS 07V152000. VOLVO REFUSED TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AS I'M IN FLORIDA. THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE FUEL PUMP IN STOCK BECAUSE IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN YET REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I BELIEVE VOLVO IS BEING DISHONEST ABOUT FIXING THEIR SAFETY DEFECTS. *TR

  I WAS STUCK IN HIGH WAY TRAFFIC FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES, ONCE THE TRAFFIC CLEARED I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT COULD NOT, I WAS AFRAID I WAS GOING TO GET HIT BECAUSE I COULD NOT GET MY VEHICLE UP TO A SAFE SPEED (THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE). I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO AT LEAST 50 MPH TO GET IT HOME. THIS NOW HAPPENS WITHIN APPROX 1-2 MILES OF DRIVING. DUE TO THE HI COST OF REPAIRS FOR THIS VEHICLE I HAD THE DIAGNOSTICS DONE FIRST (COST $90.00), THE RESULT WAS A BAD MASS-AIR SENSOR AND FAULTY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I HAD THE MASS-AIR SENSOR REPLACED AT A COST OF $140.00, I THEN HAD THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR CLEANED ( THIS IS WHAT THE DEALERSHIP WILL DO FIRST, BECAUSE OF THE HI COST INVOLVED IN REPLACING THE THROTTLE BODY & PROGRAMMING IT) AT A COST OF $180.00.
