2004 VOLVO XC90 Fuelpropulsion System Problems

Unsure of what the issue is with the vehicle but smells like gas in my garage and I found a recall I was never notified about I moved from Washington to Las Vegas and never received any info regarding the fuel pump recall as well as a noise that’s been going on for a year now when I drive at 60 miles an hour I’ve had it looked at and no one seems to know what that issue is

Few days ago I came home, parked the car inside the garage and went inside. An hour later I went to the garage for something and noticed a very strong gasoline odor coming from the car. It is not coming from the reservoir and I did not put any fuel recently, so it can't be explained with a fuel spill. I suspect it is coming from the fuel pump. I as hoping or it to goo away, but it did not. It has been a week already.

INSIDE SMELLS OF GASOLINE AFTER STARTING, AND WHILE DRIVING. PERSISTENT. NAUSEATING WHILE DRIVING. WINDOWS MUST BE LET DOWN WHILE DRIVING.

THE FUEL PUMP UNDER THE BACK SEAT IS CRACKED AND LEAKING FUEL. THIS IS REFERENCED IN NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 09V483000. O'STEEN VOLVO IN JACKSONVILLE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WAS EVER A PROBLEM WITH THIS. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET.THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEABLE AS IS. THE CAR IS SOAKED WITH GASOLINE. APPARENTLY THE FUEL PUMP HOUSING DRIES OUT FROM HEAT AND CRACKS. WE NEED SOME HELP HERE. IT WOULD BE BETTER IF SOMEONE IN SAINT AUGUSTINE FLORIDA COULD DO THIS RECALL WORK FOR US AS WE REALLY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH O'STEEN AFTER THEY HAVE BLOWN US OFF.

A FEW YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A FUEL PUMP RECALL. MY FUEL PUMP IS NOW LEAKING GAS AND FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS FUMES. WHEN I CALLED THE VOLVO DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NO LONGER VALID AND IT WOULD COST $1,000.00 TO HAVE IT FIXED. I CALLED THE VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE CAR IS 16 YEARS OLD AND IS IN GOOD CONDITION I FEEL THAT AS VOLVO KNOWS THAT THE FUEL PUMP IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT ALL CARS THAT HAVE THE SAME FUEL PUMP ISSUE THAT ARE STILL DRIVING THE HIGHWAYS SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE HEAVY FUEL SMELL THAT FILLS THE CAR WHEN DRIVING AND THE FUEL CAN BE SMELLED OUTSIDE OF THE...

RAW GAS SMELL. TOLD BY DEALER MAY BE DANGERS TO DRIVE AND PARK OUT OF GARAGE SO FUMES DON'T ACCUMULATE. GARAGE HAS NATURAL GAS HEAT AND GAS WATER HEATER. SOME CARS SOLD IN OTHER STATES HAVE HAD RECALLS, UNDER VOLVO RECALL # 220. THIS CAR HAS BEEN USED IN SOME STATES NAMED IN SUMMER MONTHS. I AM ORIG OWNER.

BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WITH 112,000 MILES ON IT, IT HAS A GAS LEAK TRICKLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK, PROBABLY A BAD SENDING UNIT, FUMES ARE BAD SOME DAYS BUT WORSE ON WARMER DAYS. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED ONE DAY WITH NO WARNING OR LIGHT, IT JUST LOST MOMENTUM AND FAILED TO ENGAGE IN DRIVE. I THINK THIS IS DUE TO THE POOR ENGINEERING DESIGN VOLVO USED. THIS MODEL IS THE T6 WITH THE GM 4T65E TRANSMISSION WHICH IS WIDELY KNOWN TO FAIL EVEN AT LOW MILES. I THINK A FULL SAFETY RECALL SHOULD E SANCTIONED FOR ALL MODEL YEARS WITH THESE HORRIBLE PROBLEMS

WE SMELLED A GASOLINE ODOR AND THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT CAME ON SO WE TOOK OUR VOLVO TO A DEALER TO INSPECT. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND HAVE TAKEN METICULOUS CARE OF THIS VEHICLE SO THAT SOUNDED VERY STRANGE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 108,000 MILES IN 15 YEARS. I NOW SEE WHERE THIS MODEL WAS RECALLED FOR FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT IT WAS WHILE I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY FOR TWO YEARS (2004-2006) ON A PROJECT FOR MY EMPLOYER. I HAD MY PARENTS KEEP THE CAR WHILE I WAS GONE AND NONE OF US RECEIVED THE NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL. SHOULDN'T VOLVO STILL HAVE TO HONOR THIS RECALL SINCE I WAS NOT AWARE OF IT AT THE TIME? ACCORDING TO YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN 09V-483 MY CAR WOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN...

VEHICLE SMELLS LIKE GASOLINE WHEN STOPPED AND PARKED, AND WHEN DRIVING. THE SMELL SEEMS TO BE STRONGEST AT THE RIGHT REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN PARKED OUTSIDE. WHEN PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE GASOLINE SMELL WOULD BE EXTREMELY STRONG AND START COMING INTO THE HOUSE. IT WAS SEVERE ENOUGH I OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR MANUALLY BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF BLOWING UP THE ENTIRE HOUSE. IT IS NOW STAYING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE THE SMELL IS SO BAD. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS, HOWEVER VOLVO SAYS MINE IS NOT AFFECTED BY THE RECALL THAT WOULD FIX THE SMELL. THE RECALL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN SET UP BY STATE IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED, NOT NECESSARILY VEHICLES WITH THE PART IN QUESTION. THE STATE WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SINCE 2001 IS VIRGINIA. I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, WHO SIMPLY SAID TO BRING IT...

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.

A FEW DAYS AGO I BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE OUTSIDE. THE SMELL BEGAN TO GET WORSE AND LINGER FOR DAYS AFTER OPERATING IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DETERMINED IT TO BE THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE THAT SIMILAR YEARS AND MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR IN 2009. MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN PA RATHER THAN IN ONE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. VOLVO AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT NOT THE LABOR WHICH AMOUNTS TO $800. THESE FUELS PUMPS PRESENT AN EXTREME RISK FOR FIRE AND INJURY AND ALL VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AT VOLVOS EXPENSE. VOLVO SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OR NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO. JUST BECAUSE OF VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN ONE...

HI, WHEN DRIVING MY CAR UP ANY SLIGHT LITTLE HILL, I HAVE NO POWER AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DRIVE. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING!! I HAVE READ THERE ARE RECALLS IN THE FUEL PUMPS AND ALSO OTHER RECALLS WITH THE MODEL VOLVO XC90. I HOPE THEY CAN REPAIR IT AND PAY FOR IT!!

ON THE RIGHT REAR SIDE A SMELL OF GAS IS PRESENT WHEN I'M OUT SIDE THE CAR THE I CAN SMELL IT MORE

THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS WITH STEERING THE DRIVER SHAFTS THE FUEL PUMP AIRBAGS AND WHEELS MAKING A CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. THE GAS SMELL IS ALWAYS INSIDE THE CAR AND MECHANIC HAS SAID IT'S FROM THE FUEL PUMP DEFECT DURING MANUFACTURER. ALONG WITH THE OTHER FORE-MENTION DEFECTS .VOLVO DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS ISSUES BECAUSE AGE OF CAR. THERE IS A DEFECTIVE SUNROOF THAT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INSIDE THE CAR DURING RAIN FALL . THERE HAS BEEN A TOP CLASS ACTION PLACED AGAINST VOLVO FOR THIS . THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $700 TO $800 FOR THIS DEFECT AND $1200 TO $1500 FOR FUEL PUMP .

LOOKING FOR REPAIRS ON FUEL ISSUES,I READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. MY VOLVO HAD STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS, MORE IN THE REAR RIGHT SIDES OR BACK SIDE. I HAD READ THAT IT MAYBE OR IS A RECALL ISSUE . I BOUGHT MY VOLVO IN 4/28/15 BEING ONLY THE SECOND OWNER,I NOTICED THE SMELL CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SUGGESTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. CAME UP AS POSSIBLE VOLVO RECALL, SINCE A BOUGHT THE CAR AS IS THEY DIDN'T FIX IT, THEY DID SUGGEST ON CALLING VOLVO DIRECT FOR THIS ISSUE. I MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH AUTONATION VOLVO IN SAN JOSE CA ON 6/15/2015. WHEN SHOWING UP FOR SERVICE THEY DENIED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM FUEL ISSUES, IT WAS A RECALL ON 157. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I HAD GONE FOR A FUEL ISSUE NOT A...

MY 2004 VOLVO XC90 WITH A 2.5T ENGINE, 7 PASS, INTERMITTENTLY AND INADVERTENTLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING IT. IT IS SCARY BECAUSE ALL ELECTRICAL GOES OFF, INSTRUMENT PANEL, RADIO, LIGHTS, ETC, SEVERAL WARNING MESSAGES APPEARS, SUCH ABS, AIR BAGS FAILURE, BRAKE FAILURE, ENGINE FAILURE, ETC. IT WON'T RESPOND TO ACCELERATION AND BRAKES ARE VERY HARD TO PUSH, THE ENGINE DOES NOT STOP. I HAVE TO STOP, TURN IT OFF, WAIT FEW MINUTES, THEN START IT, EVERYTHING COMES TO NORMAL AGAIN BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE AIR BAGS MESSAGE, THEN AFTER SOME MINUTES OF DRIVING THE SAME STALLING AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS SERIOUS BECAUSE YOU ARE ON FREEWAY AND YOU LOOSE BRAKES AND ENGINE CONTROL, NO INFORMATION IN INSTRUMENT PANEL, ETC. I FOUND THAT THE RELAYS IN THE CEM (CONTROL ELECTRONICS MODULE) ARE SUPER HOT POSSIBLY DUE TO LOOSE CONNECTIONS, IN THE VIDEO BELOW YOU WILL SEE...

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...

STRONG GASOLINE ODOR OUTSIDE AND AT TIMES INSIDE THE CAR. RESEARCHED THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL IN 2010 FOR THIS SAME ISSUE RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP, BUT IT ONLY COVERED CERTAIN STATES. DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN MINNESOTA IT WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL AND I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. NHTSA INVESTIGATION FAULTED A DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL PUMP COMBINED WITH TEMPERATURE VARIATIONS. APPARENTLY 90F TO -20F TEMPERATURE SWINGS IN MINNESOTA WAS NOT DEEMED SUFFICIENT TO BE INCLUDED OR NOTIFIED ABOUT THE RECALL. *JS

DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACK IN THE FUEL SENDER LOCATED ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK (NOT THE FUEL PUMP WHICH WAS REPLACED UNDER THE PRIOR RECALL). WHEN ASKED HOW THE LEAK DEVELOPED THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PLASTIC FITTING CRACKED DUE TO THE CYCLING OF TEMPERATURES (SAME REASON FOR FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND RECALL). *TR

THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $800 TO REPAIR THE PART BECAUSE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT IN MAY OF THIS YEAR, AND THIS IS NOVEMBER. THIS IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE AND FEEL THAT VOLVO SHOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART FREE OF CHARGE. VOLVO SAID THAT THE RECALL ONLY APPLIES TO THAT MODEL LOCATED IN THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWESTERN US.
