“Gasoline fumes in my garage, no apparent evidence of gas leak in car. This is a 1995 Volvo sedan 940 with 80000 miles on it. I have owned it since it was new. Next day fumes grew stronger, we thought it was from lawn mower gas. On the 3rd day the gas was coming out from underneath the car. I had to have a new gas tank installed at a cost of $600+. The gas tank on the car had cracked for no apparent reason, just failed.”
NHTSA complaint #10188229, filed 2007-04, 80,000 miles“I own a 1995 Volvo 940 turbo wagon. In the past 6 months, we have had random incidents of the car losing power while driving. The speed at the time of the incident ranges - anything from 35 to 70. There is no indication, sound or vibration to indicate it is about to cut off. If the car sits for 10-15 minutes following the cut off , it will crank with no problem. If you attempt to crank the car as soon as it dies, it's as if you've flooded the motor. When this started, it was very random and very rare. …”
NHTSA complaint #10132563, filed 2005-08, 100,000 miles“Noticed gas smell every time I filled gas looked under car and noticed gas puddling under car. Also gas puddling after parking of car. Have not taken tank down as of yet to trouble shoot problem but believe it to be a cracked gas tank as the amount of gas put into tank before leaking has steadily decreased.”
