Failure Date: 09/01/2009

Strong fuel smell, especially when standing beside the car. Dealership is unsure what the problem is, but mechanic noticed gas leaking above the tank. There are many people with the same or similar problems (see online Volvo forums), and a nationwide recall might be appropriate. I urge the agency, and put it on notice, that failure to act might result in an accident that could be fatal.
