I own a 2004 Volvo XC70 that is experiencing the same fuel pump defect described in Recall R220 / NHTSA Campaign 09V483000 (fuel pump leak). My vehicle exhibits fuel system problems consistent with the recall description. However, my VIN is not included in the current recall population. When I contacted Volvo, I was told my case (ID #250827-000998) was escalated to corporate, but I was later informed that no goodwill assistance would be provided because my VIN is not covered. I specifically requested written confirmation of this determination. This defect poses a safety risk that aligns with the existing recall, and I believe additional vehicles outside the current VIN range may be affected. I am requesting that NHTSA review whether the recall should be expanded to include vehicles like mine.

My car kept getting a light for its coolant levels despite me filling it with proper coolant-I noticed a leak of coolant on the ground & upon getting it inspected from an independent service center, they told me the issue was my radiator so we got the part to fix it and a week later fixed the radiator and I didn’t get the light for coolant again. Although the independent service center told me that i actually had a fuel leakage due to my pump and described the issues I’ve been having with my car for a few months as signs to what problems this is causing, this meaning a funky fuel smell, my car struggling to fully turn on-needing multiple tries to actually fully turn on etc. this puts my safety at risk because fuel leakage is extremely dangerous for multiple reasons. Not inspected by manufacturer police or insurance reps. Other than the coolant light issue and the noticed continued leak after the coolant leakage was fixed. After looking into this issue online I found a recall notice from VOLVO and called them and they claimed my car wasn’t on this recall notice but my year and model is indeed listed and since im having the same problem as the recall listed its concerning me.

Faulty fuel pump causing leakage

I received a recall notice for the defective driver airbag. The nearest dealership is 10 hours away. I called Customer care and they said I would be responsible to transport my Volvo to the dealership in Billings Montana. The vehicle is a 2004 Volvo with 188k miles. Expense and travel is prohibitive to me. I am on a fixed income and I would worry about making a 20hr round trip in an older car. My desire is to gift this car to my granddaughter when she gets her driver's lic. I could not forgive myself if the driver's airbag deployed and the result could be serious injury or death. I contacted the Volvo Customer Care service and they said they could transport the car one way. can you help?

I've been waiting for a recall repair (Recall R10136: Driver Airbag) for 5 months and a local Volvo dealer said that they haven't received necessary parts for months. This is a matter of safety and Volvo should prioritize safety. First appointment with the local dealer was Jan 14 that was canceled by the dealer due to part shortage. Second appointment was on June 15 and it was canceled again by the dealer for the same reason.

I REQUESTED VOLVO CARS OF SEATTLE AND CUSTOMER CARE/VOLO TO HAVE REPAIRS DONE AS PER THE RECALL NOTICE OF 1214/2021 AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS REQUIRED ARE ON BACK ORDER AND I WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN THEY COME IN. TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. WHEN WILL PARTS BE AVAILABLE AND CAN THIS VEHICLE BE DRIVEN SAFELY BEFORE APPROPRIATE REPAIRS ARE MADE?

Fuel pump seal leak/ flange broke. Smelled gas, saw a puddle under the car. Upon fuel pump inspection a failed repair combined with original broken seal flange. We live in a state where the recall was not listed so our next step is to contact volvo.

I requested Danbury, CT Volvo to have the repairs done as per the recall notice on Jan 25 and was told the parts required are on back order and they do not know when the parts will be in. I would like to know if I am in danger by continuing to use the car before the repair can b made.

I JUST BOUGHT A 2004 VOLVO XC70 STATION WAGON AND IT SEEMS TO BE LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP WHICH FROM MY UNDERSTANDING IS A RECALL. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE THINKING BECAUSE IT WAS A VOLVO IT WAS GOING TO BE A SAFE CAR FOR MY CHILDREN AND I.

FUEL PUMP NEEDS TO BE REPLACED

PARK THE CAR AND SMELL GAS DID SOME MORE RESEARCH AND HOW TO SET THE FUEL PUMP IS LEAKING GAS OUT OF THE CAR ON THE STREET AND SAD DOESN'T HAVE GAS PRESSURE AND IT LEAKS GAS UNDER THE BACK SEAT

ALTHOUGH THE 'CRACKED FUEL PUMP FLANGE' RECALL SERVICE (VOLVO RECALL R220, NHTSA 09V-483) WAS PREVIOUSLY PERFORMED ON MY VEHICLE, THE VOLVO XC70 HAS AN ADDITIONAL 'FUEL SENDING UNIT' ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS ADDITIONAL FUEL COMPONENT HAS A SIMILARLY FORMED FLANGE WHICH ALSO DEVELOPS A CRACK. EVEN THOUGH THE UNITS ARE SIMILARLY COMPOSED AND BOTH IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE AUXILIARY FUEL SENDING UNIT IS NOT COVERED UNDER VOLVO RECALL 220. EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN THE FUEL PUMP RECALL, THE CRACK IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FUEL SENDING UNIT ALLOWS GASOLINE TO CONSTANTLY OOZE THROUGH THE CRACK AND SLOWLY POUR ONTO THE GROUND AND PUDDLE. IF A FUEL PUMP FLANGE CRACK ALLOWING GASOLINE TO POUR ONTO THE GROUND WAS CAUSE FOR A RECALL, WHY IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE AUXILIARY FUEL SENDING UNIT NOT ALSO A CAUSE FOR RECALL?

I AM ORIGINAL OWNER. CAR HAS 135K MILES. WHILE DRIVING, DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT WARMER ALMOST STARTED FIRE. I SMELLED AND SAW SMOKE FROM SIDE OF SEAT. MELTED SIDE OF SEAT AND LEFT HOLE. I PULLED OVER AND PUT OUT BEFORE ANY FLAMES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR DETECTED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. *BF .. CONSUMER STATED VOLVO HAD A RECALL ON FUEL PUMPS IN SOUTHERN STATES ONLY.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A FUEL ODOR WAS DETECTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GOODWIN'S VOLVO (91 MAIN ST, TOPSHAM, ME 04086) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,459. *TT CONSUMER STATED SMELLED GAS FROM, FROM THE BEGINNING, NOBODY COULD SMELL IT BUT MY DAUGHTER AND I FINALLY CHECKED BY USED CAR DEALER, THEY SAID IT WAS A LOOSE CLAMP, WHICH THEY TIGHTENED, I COULD SMELL IT SO THEY RECOMMENDED A SECOND OPINION TOOK IT TO GOODWINS VOLVO. TOPSHAM COPY OF FINDINDS ENCLOSED WHEN I TOOK IT BACK TO RENO MEADOWS AUTO, THEY SAID IT WAS THE VENT TUBE, THEY REPLACED THE COPY ENCLOSED, SEEMS TO BE OKAY NOW. UPDATED 10/15/18*JB

THE FUEL PUMP BEGAN LEAKING FUEL IN HOT WEATHER. IT LEAKS BOTH IF THE CAR IS BEING DRIVEN OR IF IT'S STATIONARY. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL THAT SEEMS TO COVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS REFERRED TO AS "RECALL 220" IN VOLVO'S DOCUMENTATION. THE ORIGINAL RECALL LIMITS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES TO ONES WHICH WERE ORIGINALLY PURCHASED IN SPECIFIC U.S. STATES. THIS IS ODDLY ARBITRARY CONSIDERING CARS CAN BE MOVED AROUND AND WARM WEATHER ISN'T EXCLUSIVE TO ANY SPECIFIC LOCATION. I'VE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AND THE NHTSA BUT AM IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN DUE TO MY VIN NOT BEING LISTED IN THEIR DATABASE. VOLVO ISSUED DOCUMENTATION TO THEIR SERVICE LOCATIONS ON HOW TO VISUALLY INSPECT A VEHICLE TO DETERMINE IF IT'S AFFECTED. I PERFORMED THOSE STEPS AND BELIEVE MY VEHICLE FITS THE GUIDELINES FOR THE RECALL.

THIS COMPLAINT IS FOR A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THIS CAR HAS SOME SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH ITS VARIOUS MODULES. WHEN DRIVING ON A BUSY INTERSTATE HIGHWAY, THE CAR JERKED AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING. AFTER THIS A WARNING LIGHT STATING "BRAKE FAILURE; PULL OVER SAFELY" ILLUMINATED. CAR WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY IN FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC. GOT CAR TO A PARKING LOT AND WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES. CAR STARTED AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME, ALTHOUGH BEING ABOUT 50 MILES AWAY. CAR WENT IN TO LIMP MORE AGAIN DURING DRIVE AND LOST ALL DASH INDICATORS, INCLUDING TURN SIGNALS, SPEEDOMETER AND ODOMETER. LIGHT FOR "CHECK ENGINE" WAS ILLUMINATED. AFTER MECHANIC RESET CODES, HE STATED THAT IT MIGHT BE THE ECM OR TCM. I SENT OFF THE ECM FOR DIAGNOSIS AND IT CAME BACK WITHOUT ANY ERRORS. I THEN SENT OFF THE TCM AND LEARNED THAT IT NEEDED REPAIR. AFTER RECEIVING THE REPAIRED TCM UNIT, WE RE-INSTALLED AND CAR DROVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. I TOOK THE CAR FOR A 6-HOUR ROUND TRIP DRIVE THIS PAST WEEKEND AND HAD ONE INCIDENT OF THE JERKING, BUT WITHOUT ANY OTHER ISSUES. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT IN THE DRIVE FOR AROUND 20 MINUTES, I TRIED STARTING IT ONLY TO GET ANOTHER "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT AND INOPERABLE DASH INDICATORS (SPEEDOMETER, ODOMETER, TURN SIGNALS, ETC.). TOOK THE CAR TO A VOLVO DEALERSHIP TODAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NO CONTACT OCCURRING WITH THEIR COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM. THEY RECOMMENDED A REPLACEMENT OF THE CEM AS A FIRST STEP WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE P

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START AND A STRONG FUEL ODOR WAS PRESENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V483000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) BECAUSE IT WAS REGISTERED IN THE PARTICIPATING STATES PER THE RECALL INFORMATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

THE CAR LOCKS BY ITSELF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN KEY IS IN IGNITION AND YOU STEP AWAY FROM CAR LEAVING YOU LOCKED OUT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THIS IS A "FEATURE" OF THIS CAR. AMONG ALL THE CARS I HAVE OWNED AND DRIVEN THIS IS THE ONLY THAT DOES THIS, VOLVO NEEDS TO CORRECT HIS ISSUE.

STARTED SMELLING GASOLINE WHEN DRIVING, AND NOTED DRIPPING UNDER GAS TANK WHEN PARKED. I REMOVED THE FUEL PUMP COVER IN THE FLOORBOARD, AND THERE IS A LEAK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP, THAT DRIPS CONSTANTLY WHILE THE IGNITION IS ON. THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED BEFORE, BUT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED AS ONE OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FUELED THE VEHICLE, FUEL BEGAN TO LEAK OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED.

I HAVE A COPY OF RECALL 220NHTSA #09V483 FOR A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE REASON BEING FUEL SMELL AND/OR FUEL SEEP PAGE. WE HAVE BEEN SMELLING FUEL FOR SEVERAL MONTHS AND ON 7/29/17 I NOTICED A COUPLE OF DROPS OF FUEL HIT THE PAVEMENT WHILE LOOKING AT THE CAR. I HAVE CALLED VOLVO TWICE CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND I HAVE ALSO CALLED NHTSA (REFERENCE NUMBER 1122416) AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT MATCH THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH IT'S THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL AND IS EXHIBITING THE VERY SAME SYMPTOMS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I'M EXTREMELY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE I.E. FUEL IGNITION AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I AM RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE NECESSARY REPAIR WHEN MY VEHICLE IS CLEARLY INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN RECTIFYING THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

THE PROBLEM IS THIS HAPPENED TO MY VOLVO TOO SEE RECALL BELOW..IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN HAD THE RECALL WHEN MY FUEL PUMP IS CRACKED TOO! THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT ON ALL 2004 XC70S AND NOT JUST VEHICLES IN THE SOUTH. WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I GOOGLED IT AND 100S OF COMPLAINTS ARE ON BLOG SITES. THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO DEMAND VOLVO RECALL ALL 2004S WITH THIS PROBLEM. IN MICHIGAN WE HAVE EXTREME TEMPS IN WEATHER TOO! GAS FUMES WERE LEAKING IN MY BACKSEAT WHERE THE KIDS SIT. SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED! I WANT A RECALL ON ALL VOLVO'S HAVING THIS PROBLEM. VOLVO NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF ALL THE CARS NOT JUST SOME OF THEM. DOING THE ONES ONLY IN THE SOUTH IS A JOKE! EVEN MY MECHANIC COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. THE NHTSA IS SUPPOSE TO PROTECT ALL CONSUMERS! HERE IS THE RECALL THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF BUT ITS THE SAME ISSUE AND PROBLEM: VOLVO IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2001-2005 S80, MODEL YEAR 2001-2004 V70, S60, XC70 AND MODEL YEAR 2003-2005 XC90 VEHICLES SOLD IN OR REGISTERED IN THE STATES OF ALABAMA, ARIZONA, ARKANSAS, CALIFORNIA, FLORIDA, GEORGIA, HAWAII, KENTUCKY, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, NEVADA, NEW MEXICO, NORTH CAROLINA, OKLAHOMA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, TEXAS, UTAH, VIRGINIA AND THE U.S. TERRITORIES.

THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V483000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I SMELLED GASOLINE FUMES IN CAR WHEN THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, ON A CITY STREET, AND IMMEDIATELY TOOK CAR TO MY VOLVO MECHANIC. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A CRACKED FUEL PUMP. COST ME $723.55 OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR. BOUGHT THE CAR ON 02/14/2015 AND THIS REPAIR WAS ON 09/24/2015; JUST OVER SEVEN MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP! I RESEARCHED, AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, AND CALLED VOLVO ABOUT IT. VOLVO SAID THEY WOULD NOT HONOR RECALL NOTICE ON MY CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT LOCATED IN ONE OF THE STATES SPECIFIED IN THE RECALL NOTICE. TOTALLY UNFAIR!! OBVIOUSLY, THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED IN MY VOLVO IN THE STATE OF COLORADO, WHICH HAS TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATIONS FROM BELOW 0DEG F TO OVER 95DEG F THROUGHOUT THE SEASONS. I AM VERY UNHAPPY AND FEEL I AM NOT THE ONLY VOLVO OWNER WHO HAS RUN ACROSS THIS GEOGRAPHICAL DISPARITY CONTAINED IN VOLVO'S RECALL NOTICE. I WANT A REIMBURSEMENT, AND, ALTHOUGH MY MECHANIC IS NOT A VOLVO DEALER, HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 25 YEARS, AND SPECIFICALLY WORKS ON VOLVO VEHICLES ONLY. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM PEDERSEN VOLVO IN FORT COLLINS, CO, ON FEBRUARY 14, 2015, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER CHRIS SAID HE ALSO WOULD CONTACT VOLVO FOR ASSISTANCE. THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP ME AS VOLVO MAINTAINED THE STIPULATION OF VEHICLE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA. MY REPAIR MECHANIC IS CARL DUKE VOLVO REPAIR, FORT COLLINS, COLORADO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMALLY STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE, IT HESITATED. THE IGNITION WOULD TURN OVER, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL A FEW TIMES BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD START. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V483000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000.

I HAVE HAD THE SAME FAILURE 3 TIMES WITH THIS CAR. STARTED CAR UP AFTER IT WAS SITTING IN PARKING LOT ON A VERY HOT DAY. WITHIN 1-2 MILES STARTED EXPERIENCING INABILITY TO ROLL WINDOWS UP OR DOWN, CAR STARTED LOSING POWER AND INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL WENT BLANK. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR SAFETY OFF THE ROAD. IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING. IT HAS BEEN TOWED TWICE. THE LAST TIME TO A VOLVO DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FAILURE; NO CODES WERE STORED OR FOUND. THE CAR IS BACK TO RUNNING GREAT...UNTIL THE NEXT TIME IT DIES.

I HAVE BEEN BRING MY CAR TO A VOLVO DEALER IN MY AREA FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS. I THOUGHT THAT I COULD TRUST THEM. STARTING IN 2014 I NOTICED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WOULD APPEAR WHEN DRIVING DURING WET CONDITIONS AND IF I HIT A POTHOLE OF WHICH WE HAVE MANY HERE. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ON TO 2 DIFFERENT VISITS. BOTH TIMES THEY SAID THEIR WAS NO PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP FOR A SECOND OPTION FOR AN ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT ISSUE, IT WAS DISCOVERED DURING A TEST DRIVE BY THE LEAD MECHANIC THAT MY CAR WAS NOT DRIVING IN AWD. THAT VOLVO DEALERSHIP AND THEIR MECHANICS PUT, ME AND MY FAMILY IN DANGER. UNFORGIVABLE. THIS ISSUE(S) OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING (IN MOTION) IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AS I LIVE IN A LARGE CITY AND WITH ELDERLY PASSENGERS AS I WAS A VOLUNTEER DRIVER FOR THE ELDERLY.

THE SIDE REAR L/R BRAKE LIGHTS STAY ON ALL THE TIME CAUSING A SAFETY CONCERN, THE TOP CENTER LED BRAKE LIGHT CONTINUES TO WORK NORMALLY. TAPPING ON THE BRAKE LIGHT RELAYS INSTALLED IN THE REAR ELECTRONIC MODULE CAUSES THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. "RECALL CAMPAIGN NO.131 BRAKE LIGHT RELAY" NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO 2004 MODELS AS WELL.

THIS REPORT IS FOR MY 2004 VOLVO FOR WHICH I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY HAS 35500 MILES. MY SEAT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY. I GOT THE FIRE OUT AND AM TOLD THAT THE SEAT WARMER DRIVER SIDE IS WHAT CAUGHT ON FIRE. IS THERE A RECALL FOR THIS OR DOES IT COME UNDER WARRANTY PERHAPS.

BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE WHILE GOING STRAIGHT AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE IS NOT USED OFF ROAD. REPAIR REQUIRED STRUT REPLACEMENT. DEALER SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR VOLVO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?

ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO, I SUSPECTED FUEL LEAK IN MY CAR. IT IS GARAGED. I DID NOT TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AS IT WAS ON AND OFF - AT LEAST IN MY DETECTION. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC ANYWAY - AND HE PERFORMED INSPECTIONS AND "TIGHTENED RETAINING RING FOR LEFT SIDE SENDER" AND ASKED ME TO "WATCH" FOR ANY FURTHER INCIDENTS. ON TUESDAY THIS WEEK I FILLED GLASS TO THE BRIM IN HOPES OF KNOWING MORE ABOUT THIS LEAK ISSUE AND LEFT IN MY GARAGE OVERNIGHT. ON WEDNESDAY MORNING WHEN I OPENED MY GARAGE DOOR TO LEAVE TO WORK, THE FUEL STENCH WAS INTENSE. I MOVED MY CAR OUT FROM MY GARAGE AND NOTICED A SMALL PUDDLE OF FUEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE REAR. WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE RISK I WAS GETTING INTO, I DROVE THE CAR TO WORK - LUCKILY WITH NO INCIDENTS. CALLED MY MECHANIC AND HE RIGHTFULLY SUGGESTED ME TO TOW IT TO HIS SHOP - WHICH I DID. HE CALLED LATER AND SAID THAT I HAVE A HAIRLINE LEAK ON THE "SENDER LINE" AND I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL PUMP UNIT - AND SAID IT WOULD COST ME $880 [L&P] - OF COURSE, WITH VOLVO PARTS. I JUST COMPLETED IT THIS MORNING - AND JUST HAVE DRIVEN MY CAR OUT FROM THE SHOP [HE REPLACED JUST THE DRIVER SIDE FUEL SENDER UNIT - AT A COST ~$575]. BACK HOME, I WAS RESEARCHING AND CAME ACROSS A RECALL NOTICE FROM VOLVO FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. UNFORTUNATELY I DID NOT GET ANY NOTICE OF THIS RECALL - BUT WAS TOLD BY THE VOLVO REP [WHEN I CALLED THEM] THAT THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ADDRESSED ON MY CAR EARLIER DURING A REGULAR DEALER INSPECTION. SHE ASKED ME TO FILE MY CASE AGAIN - AND CURRENT

I WAS DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY CAR JUST QUIT RUNNING...IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY...I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO...2 NICE MEN PUSHED ME OVER INTO THE TURN LANE TO BE OUT OF THE ROAD...MY WINDOWS WORKED, LIGHTS AND SO I KNEW IT WASN'T THE BATTERY...IT JUST WOULDN'T START....ACTUALLY THIS HAD HAPPENED A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE, HOWEVER, AFTER LETTING IT SIT ABOUT 5 MIN. IT STARTED UP AND I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME...I THOUGHT MAYBE IT OVERHEATED BUT NONE OF THE WARNINGS WENT ON...SO I IGNORED IT AND WISH I WOULDN'T HAVE AS WE HAD TO LEAVE MY CAR IN A VACANT LOT OFF THE HIGHWAY FOR TWO DAYS AS IT WAS THE 4TH OF JULY HOLIDAY AND NO ONE WAS WORKING...WE WENT BACK TO CHECK TO SEE IT ON JULY 5, AND IT STARTED UP...AS I WAS DRIVING HOME (JULY 5)SUNDAY...IT QUIT AGAIN AT A STOP SIGN WHERE I HAD NO PLACE TO TURN OFF...OF COURSE, THE STEERING LOCKED WHEN THE CAR STOPPED...IT WAS SCARY...I THEN WAITED FOR ABOUT 5 MIN. AND IT TURNED OVER AND STARTED AGAIN...I DROVE FAST TO GET HOME (ABOUT 4-5 MILES) AND MADE IT HOME...SO RELIEVED AS IT IS VERY SCARY TO BE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AND ROAD. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND WAS FOLLOWING ME SO I WASN'T ALONE...I AM OVER 65...I LIKE MY CAR BUT CAN'T BE BURDENED WITH A PROBLEM LIKE THIS...

FOUND OUT TODAY THAT MY CAR HAS A CRACK IN THE FUEL PUMP AFTER SMELLING GAS THE LAST FEW DAYS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR 2001-2005 XC70'S (JAN. 2010) WHERE THE FUEL PUMP CAN DEVELOP CRACKS IN THE FLANGE WHEN EXPOSED TO HOT TEMPS AND (THERMAL CYCLING) COMBINED WITH VARYING FUEL GRADES. CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD CONNECTICUT WAS NOT ONE OF THE STATES COVERED BY THIS RECALL. WHY NOT AND HAVE THERE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM STATES NOT COVERED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL. A CAR FIRE CAN BE A DEFINITE RESULT OF THIS FUEL LEAK AND SHOULD BE COVERED IN ALL STATES. *TR

WHILE MY CAR WAS PARKED INSIDE MY GARAGE THERE WAS A SUDDEN "BANG". THE FOLLOWING MORNING I DISCOVERED WHILE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE THAT THE DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN. HAD I BEEN DRIVING WHILE THIS HAPPENED IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN THE SHREDDING OF THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A SEVERE ACCIDENT. THE REASON I OWN VOLVO IS PRINCIPALLY DYE TO IT'S REPUTATION FOR SAFETY. IN FACT, VOLVO USES THE TERM SAFETY IN ALL IT'S ADVERTISING. THIS IS A GRAVE FLAW AND I ASK NHTSA TO INVESTIGATE WEATHER THIS IS A COMMON FLAW IN THE 2004 VOLVO XC70 AND OTHER VOLVO'S WITH THIS COIL SPRING. *TR

ENGINE HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION AND SUDDEN TRANSITION INTO THE "REDUCED ENGINE PERFORMANCE" MODE WHICH WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ON THE FREEWAY. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH THE FAILURE CODES POINTING TO THE "ETM". IN OTHER CASES THE ENGINE WAS SURGING AFTER START AND THEN WENT BACK TO THE "LIMP" MODE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED. THE FAILURE WAS LOCATED AT THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 178,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 182,000.

WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING PLACE, I FELT A SENSATION OF GOING OVER A BUMP. I STOPPED THE CAR AND EXAMINED AROUND AND UNDER THE CAR. NO OBJECT OR "BUMP" ITEM WAS SEEN. I DROVE SLOWLY AND EXPERIENCED METALLIC NOISES COMING FROM THE CAR. UPON HAVING THE CAR CHECKED BY MY REGULAR GARAGE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD BROKEN. I HAVE HAD IT REPLACED (VERY EXPENSIVE) AND THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS TYPE OF EMERGENCY BREAK DAMAGE BEFORE. OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE MAY BE HELPED BY THIS INFORMATION. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON SMOOTH SURFACE- HEARD A SUDDEN LOUD SOUND AS IF SOMETHING LARGE DROPPED ON THE ROAD. CAR CONTINUED TO DRIVE NORMALLY EXCEPT WITH A LOUD CLUNKY SOUNDS HEARD OVER BUMPS. LESS THAN 5-MILES LATER, WHEN I PULLED OVER TO THE GARAGE- I RECOVERED A PIECE OF THE SPRING COIL WHICH DROPPED: THE DRIVER SIDE COIL SPRING HAD BROKEN/FAILED INSTANTANEOUSLY. THIS UNCOMMON PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE COMMON WITH XC70 OWNERS- AND COULD RESULT IN POTENTIALLY SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC70. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE MADE A THUMPING SOUND AND DECELERATED. ALSO, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TURNED OFF AND THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURNING SIGNALS FAILED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ALL OF THE LIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WERE OPERATING NORMALLY AFTER A FEW HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,918.
