general problems of the 2003 Volvo S80

In tank fuel pump, problem was leaking at top of pump @ the inlet at the outlet & return valve, crack in the plastic mold. Was giving off fumes, totally unhealthy and waitin for someone to lighr up a cigarette for a total car explosion and death for all occupants. I have replaced the pump myself. Local dealer wanted 1100 plus to replace out of my budget this in my view it should have been done by recall, local jim Volvo of portland, oregon said no, out of warenty period. I disagree, if unrepaired, I would have been risking me and my family or occupens in the vehical at the time. There are still many of these cars and other models & years that I found my research on the web that has had this same problrem. I have a 1998 Volvo s70 that appears to be developing the same issue. I had come to like my 2003 S80, it will be my last Volvo my cost so far about $150, and 1st pump I installed was defective, had to start over robert daniels sr 503-504-1508.

Within a week of purchasing the vehicle from a dealer, I discovered that the fuel tank has a leak, so its currently unsafe to drive. I found out about the leak when I brought it to an independent mechanic for service. I see that other vehicles of this model and year had been recalled for fuel leaks, so I wanted to report the issue.
