1995 VOLVO 940 — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

NOTICED GAS SMELL EVERY TIME I FILLED GAS LOOKED UNDER CAR AND NOTICED GAS PUDDLING UNDER CAR. ALSO GAS PUDDLING AFTER PARKING OF CAR. HAVE NOT TAKEN TANK DOWN AS OF YET TO TROUBLE SHOOT PROBLEM BUT BELIEVE IT TO BE A CRACKED GAS TANK AS THE AMOUNT OF GAS PUT INTO TANK BEFORE LEAKING HAS STEADILY DECREASED. *TR

1995 VOLVO 940 TURBO ODOMETER SUDDENLY BECAME INOPERATIVE. PROCEEDING THROUGH SCHOOL ZONES IS PRIMARY SAFETY ISSUE. INTERNET INVESTIGATION SHOWS PROBLEM IS NOT UNIQUE. COULD NOT MAKE CONTACT AT THEIR WEB SITE TO ALERT THEM. MAYBE YOU HAVE GREATER ACCESS. ODOMETER APPEARS TO BE MECHANICAL/ELECTRICAL DEVICE. COULD NOT DETERMINE REPAIR OR ITS COST. IS THIS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE? AL *TR

GASOLINE FUMES IN MY GARAGE, NO APPARENT EVIDENCE OF GAS LEAK IN CAR. THIS IS A 1995 VOLVO SEDAN 940 WITH 80000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW. NEXT DAY FUMES GREW STRONGER, WE THOUGHT IT WAS FROM LAWN MOWER GAS. ON THE 3RD DAY THE GAS WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE A NEW GAS TANK INSTALLED AT A COST OF $600+. THE GAS TANK ON THE CAR HAD CRACKED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, JUST FAILED. *AK

DT: 18 INCH RIM AND TIRES. TIRE CITY RECOMMENDED 18 INCH SACCHI RIMS AND TIRES FOR VEHICLE. CONSUMER ORDERED THE RIMS AND TIRES AND DID NOT GET TO SEE THEM. CALLED THE MECHANIC, AND HE ADVISED THE CONSUMER NOT TO GET THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT SAFE FOR THIS VEHICLE , THEY WERE TOO LARGE. CALLED TO CANCEL THE ORDER, AND THEY WOULD NOT CANCEL THE ORDER BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY WERE SPECIALLY ORDERED. CONSUMER PAID FOR THE RIMS AND TIRES. TIRE CITY TOLD THE CONSUMER HE HAD TO TAKE THE RIMS AND TIRES BECAUSE THEY WERE ALREADY ORDERED. AFTER TIRE CITY RECEIVED THE RIMS AND TIRES THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO PUT THEM ON VEHICLE, BUT THEY DID NOT TOUCH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THEY GAVE HIM A FREE ALARM FOR INCONVENIENCE. THEY TOLD THE CONSUMER HAD TO ORDER FOUR SPACERS THAT THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE THEM TO HIM AT HALF PRICE. THEY STATED THAT THE TIRES WOULD BE BALANCED, AND THE SPACERS WOULD BE ON, AND VEHICLE WOULD BE SAFE. THEY SAID NOT TELL THE MANAGER. EVERY TIME CONSUMER WAS IN TIRE CITY HE OBSERVED THAT CUSTOMERS WERE UPSET WITH THE WAY THEY DID BUSINESS. THEY SAID OTHER TIRE SHOPS LET CUSTOMERS GO WITHOUT KNOWING THAT THEIR CARS WERE SAFE. THEY PROMISED TO MAKE CONSUMER'S CAR SAFE, BUT THEY DID NOT. THEY LET HIM LEAVE WITH RIMS AND TIRES THAT WERE TOO LARGE FOR THE CAR. THE MECHANICS SAW THE PROBLEM WITH CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. BOTH MECHANICS STATED NOT TO GET THE 18 INCH RIMS AND TIRES. *AK .
