2004 Volvo XC90 Fuel system Problems

“There is a very strong smell of gas while driving at all speeds. The smell gets worse on the right hand rear passenger seat when parked. I took it in for diagnosis and was told there is a leak on top of the fuel pump. I called to Volvo of north america see if there is a recall. The lady I talked to was very nice and seamed knew exactly what I was talking about. If this a problem why is there no recall in all states in USA.”

“Smelled gasoline, took it to a shop, they found fuel pump cracked, replaced fuel pump. Then we found out the was a recall in southern states for this problem specifically. We live in the new england area and was told it would not be considered under the recall. I feel completely wronged in this situation. The recall was specific to heat cycling. No were in the us is this more apparent than new england.”

“Appointment set with Volvo dealer on 07/26/2010 for fuel pump recall. After the service I experienced even more stronger gasoline odor while driving. Felt nausea I had to have all windows down. Called the dealer's service department in the same day afternoon, I was told that the odor should dissipate within 2 weeks. Is it normal? How can I verify?”

“When stationary the car will have a wet spot of fuel under the tank and when we come to a stop you can smell fuel. When I looked under the car you can see where the side of the fuel tank was wet or dripping fuel.”

“I have had my 2004 Volvo XC90 for 2 years, no issue until 3 weeks ago started smelling fuel odor. 1 week ago, started having slow sluggish engine starts. I checked under vehicle near gas tank and noticed tank was saturated with fuel. No repairs to vehicle at this time, waiting for recall. This appears to be an issue with a large number of same year and model with issue.”
