Consumer Description

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: I CURRENTLY OWN A 2004 XC90 T6, AND HAVE NOW ENCOUNTERED THE SAME ISSUE TWICE WITH MY VEHICLE. LAST YEAR AROUND THE SAME TIME FRAME, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE SCENT OF GASOLINE FUMES THROUGHOUT THE CABIN AND EXTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE STRONGEST CONCENTRATION OF THE ODOR OCCURRED AROUND THE BACKSEAT, PASSENGER SIDE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC AND IT WAS CONCLUDE THAT THE WAS A FUME LEAK OCCURRING FROM THE SEAL AROUND THE FUEL PUMP. I PURCHASED A NEW PUMP AND SEAL FROM VOLVO AND HAD THE UNIT REPLACED. EXACTLY AROUND THE SAME TIME OF THE YEAR, A YEAR LATER, I AM ENCOUNTERING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE AGAIN. THERE IS AN OFFENSIVELY STRONG ODOR FROM GASOLINE FUMES IN AND AROUND THE VEHICLE ORIGINATING IN THE SAME PLACE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE WEB, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED. *TR
