Consumer Description

I AM A RESIDENT OF TEXAS. I JUST BOUGHT A 2002 VOLVO S60 ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO, AND I'VE NOTICED A STRONG FUEL SMELL IN AND AROUND CAR. THERE IS A LEAK IN THE FUEL PUMP AND WHEN CAR IS PARKED, FUEL FORMS A PUDDLE UNDER CAR. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS CONDITION, BOTH FOR MYSELF BUT ALSO FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC. I SEARCHED ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FOUND THE FOLLOWING RECALL INFORMATION FROM THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION WEBSITE: MAKE: VOLVO MODEL: S60 MODEL YEAR: 2002 MANUFACTURER: VOLVO CARS OF N.A. LLC. MFR'S REPORT DATE: DEC 17, 2009 NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V483000 NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE09039 COMPONENT: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP RECALL STATES THAT AS REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE: "DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL PUMP INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE, AND IF NECESSARY REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP WITH A PART OF A MODIFIED DESIGN. THIS SERVICE WILL BE PERFORMED FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 15, 2010. " HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED ROGER BEASLEY VOLVO OF AUSTIN, TX, I WAS TOLD I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR TO THE TUNE OF $720. *TR
