Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“The fuel pump in my 2004 Volvo xc70 failed, causing gas to leak from the vehicle. I understand from a nyt article that there are several complaints into NHTSA regarding a similar condition in the 2004 xc90. The leaking pump was repaired by a Volvo dealer at considerable ($1300) cost.”

NHTSA complaint #10284748, filed 2009-09, 57,000 miles

“Fuel smell coming from trunk. Possible combustion. Previous recall was not extended to colorado, but as the front range summer temperatures and dryness are an indicator of failure, I worry that this recall should be extended to colorado owners.”
