Driving through a flat newly paved parking lot. Car stalled, tried to restart twice, wouldn't start. Opened drivers door to find large amount of gasoline maybe 3-4 gallons under the car. Can not believe that it didn't ignite. Towed to dealer, fuel pump nipple cracked (part of fuel pump) sending gas all over the hot exhaust. Dealer claimed this the first failure of this kind they had seen, but had the fuel pump in stock. (doesn't sound right) I feel very lucky that this car didn't go up in flames / or even explode with myself or my children in this car.

Last month I entered my garage to an extreme smell of gasoline. I drove the car to a service shop and they found a cracked fuel pump, which I had replaced. Last week, I received a recall letter for my wife's 2004 Volvo xc70, describing the exact problem I experienced on my 2000 S80. In this letter, they were also recalling 2001-2004 S80s for this problem. I sent this letter along with the bill for the fuel pump on my 2000 S80 to Volvo and asked them to reimburse me. They denied. I telephoned them and asked them to reconsider, as the 2000 S80 was the first year of that model and the problem they were describing in their recall of years 2001-2004 was identical to the problem I experienced. My wife's 2004 car, which they did recall, also had this problem. Both cars, leaking gas fumes in our garage, with the gas hot water tank in the garage. . . Very dangerous. My call to discuss this resulted in another denial. The mechanic told me the fuel pump had a plastic top that cracked. He did not believe a 2000 Volvo with 79000 miles should have had this problem with the fuel pump. I believe Volvo should reimburse me for the charges and I certainly believe the 2000 S80 should be included in the recall this is a danger.

I purchased a 2000 Volvo S80 in December 2010 and soon after I noticed that there is a strong gas smell coming from the rear passenger side. You can smell gas all around the car. The fumes are also inside the car and if you are in the car for a long period of time you do not feel well later. This problem may have been happening for a long time but I have not spoken with the previous owner. This is the same fuel pump assembly leak that was recalled on the same car from 2001-2004. I have a 2000 Volvo S80.

Over the last 1. 5 2 years the vehicle 2002 Volvo S80 has displayed a fuel odor in the interior of the vehicle and close proximity of the exterior in the summer months. June of 2008 received warranty notice from Volvo that there has been a voluntarily extended warranty to cover the fuel pump for vehicles that displayed a fuel odor. January 8, 2009 I took the vehicle to the local Volvo dealership for routine maintenance and displayed the letter sent by Volvo in regards to the failure of the fuel pump. The dealership declined to repair the vehicle due to the technician could not smell fuel fumes at the time of service. Volvo has knowledge that there is a potential issue with the fuel pump failure and could create a potential safety and prolong health issues for the individuals in the interior of the of the vehicle. I am requesting the help of NHTSA to resolve the above issue and be able assist other consumers with the similar issues.

Hi, just had to have my fuel pump replaced to the tune of well over a thousand dollars. Cost and problem fall in to the "unreal" category. Hard to believe that something as simple as a fuel pump has evolved into a piece of equipment that apparently as complicated as something that is vital to the launch of the shuttle. Oh for the days when a fuel pump was activated by the cam shaft, held on to the engine with two bolts, cost five dollars, took about ten minutes to replace and seldom failed. According to the stealership that did my work, in order to get to the fuel pump, they had to remove the rear seat to get to the fuel pump? I haven't had time to survey the total amount of damage they did in doing this, but do know that the headliner and steering wheel are covered with greasy hand prints and after three days there is still a strong odor of gasoline in the car. My Volvo is an 03 S80 with only 45,000 miles on it. Is this typical of Volvo dependability and excellence? guess I'm going to have to go japanese. Comments please.

After purchasing a Volvo S80 in April 2003 from Volvo north scottsdale, my wife (who drives the car) began experiencing a fuel injection problem. Each time the car was routinely serviced at Volvo north scottsdale, she complained of the problem, but the dealer failed to repair it. After tiring of the deteriorating service quality at Volvo north scottsdale, my wife began having the car serviced at powell Volvo, to whom she continued to complain of the fuel injection problem. That dealer also failed to repair the problem. When the warranty expired, my wife had the vehicle serviced at an independent mechanic, swedish auto werks, to whom she also complained of the fuel injection problem. At this time, the car had been driven 35,990 miles. By this time, she was also experiencing an intermittent slow/long crank starting the car, which was thought to be due to a failing battery. She complained of this also to swedish auto werks. Swedish auto werks diagnosed the causes of the problem as not only a failing battery but also a cracked fuel pump hose nipple. In addition to a new battery, it installed a new fuel pump assembly at a cost of $821. 97. The car now runs very well. In a subsequent conversation with another Volvo owner, my wife learned and has since confirmed that this fuel pump problem has been recurrent with the Volvo s series since al least 2002-03 and that Volvo knows of it. My wife also learned that there has been a "silent recall" prompted by this problem--I. E. , if the problem is recognized by a Volvo dealer, Volvo will fix it at no cost to the owner. Neither Volvo north scottsdale nor powell Volvo identified the problem despite my wife's repeated complaints to them. By October 4, 2007 letter and attached copy of the repair invoice to Volvo customer care center, I requested reimbursement. In reply, Volvo denied my request, stating that there had been no recall. The date below is when the repair was made.
