Very strong persistent gasoline vapor exterior and interior of car with very serious fire safety issue. Matches symptoms related to known recall#'s 09v48300 and 07v152000 (which have region specific criteria related to dramatic temperature changes that does not include the state of delaware, but does include numerous other states such as virginia that shares a similar climate profile). The car in question is a Volvo S60 2002.

I was stuck in high way traffic for about 45 minutes, once the traffic cleared I tried to accelerate but could not, I was afraid I was going to get hit because I could not get my vehicle up to a safe speed (the vehicle went into limp mode). I was able to get the car to at least 50 mph to get it home. This now happens within approx 1-2 miles of driving. Due to the hi cost of repairs for this vehicle I had the diagnostics done first (cost $90. 00), the result was a bad mass-air sensor and faulty throttle position sensor. I had the mass-air sensor replaced at a cost of $140. 00, I then had the throttle positioning sensor cleaned ( this is what the dealership will do first, because of the hi cost involved in replacing the throttle body & programming it) at a cost of $180. 00. The cleaning did not work and therefore the throttle body needs to be replaced and programmed at a cost of $800. 00.

I own a 2002 Volvo S60 about 4-5 months ago I noticed my car smelt like gas. I thought this was odd since it was winter. I took it into my mechanic and he said it was leaking gas. He then advised me about the recall for 2002 S60s. I looked online about the recall and sure enough my make and model had a recall, so I called Volvo, and they quickly dismissed my claim. They said that my VIN did not match the recall. I explained in the online statement that the recall were for cars in hot and dry areas such as az and nv. I live in utah, and I am certain this vehicle has a manufacture defect. I would like to see Volvo take responsibility for their mistakes. How can I go about having my vehicle restored?.
