Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging Problems of Volvo V70

After filling fuel tank the check engine light came on and there is a very strong gasoline smell outside the car and when stopped inside car. The engine code is for a gross evap leak. I can see fuel under gas tank coming from the top of the tank. I removed fuel pump accsess door and can see fuel bubbling out of the top of the fuel pump and overflowing the area. There is a visable crack on the top of the pump.

My 2004 Volvo V70 wagon spewed and spit gas when being filled with gasoline. When the automatic shut off from the gas pump engaged, gas from the tank and the filler line gushed and poured out of the tank. This happened on several occasions including the very first time I filled the vehicle with gas. It also occurred when I attempted to fill the gas tank slowly so that pressure would not eject gasoline from the tank. The car was brought to the dealer where it was purchased (smith CO. Motors - charleston, wv) for the problem to be fixed on March 31, 2004. After inspecting valves in the gas tank and fuel filler tube, the dealer contacted me to tell me no problem had been found. I asked the dealer service manager if the tank had been filled with gas to make sure gasoline did not continue to gush from the tank. The dealer then filled the tank and called to me to confirm that the problem had not been fixed. The car was then at the dealer and out of service until April 8, 2004, when a Volvo representative discovered that the car had a manufacturing defect. I was told the defect was that a valve had not been installed on the car at the factory. On April 12, 2004 I returned home from work and pulled into my driveway. I left the car running in my driveway. After 1 to 2 minutes inside, I notice a strong smell of gasoline. The car had stopped running and was freely spilling gallons of gasoline into my driveway. The dealer discovered a new gas tank had not been properly installed by the service technician. I am interested in NHTSA investigating if the repeated failures of my fuel system are related. I am further interested in NHTSA determining if other 2004 Volvos with similar fuel system components could have also left the factory without a completely assembled fuel system. I encountered a very serious safety problem that could have resulted in a catastrophic accident.

I was recently told my 2001 v79xc needed ball joints, then sway bars and someone else said struts! also: I have had the car diagnosed, the system reported throttle module errors and electircal or circuit problems; throttle module cleaned, then replaced; headlights replaced 3 times (wiring causes shorts); gas filter replaced  two junes in a row gas propelled out of the tank back at me upon pumping (something about air intake line was clogged), the brackets underneath the car are totally rusted  not stainless steel! I had the cooling fan replaced, car overheated into the red! I too have had little time to enjoy my car. The e brake sticks in the winter, because the coating on the lines/cables is cracked, broken/burned due to improper suspension. My sun roof, interior lights and rear hatch door works intermittently in cold weather. The glove compartment was rattling loudly and the dealer I bought it from tried to fix it and told me I had to live with it! of course another dealership fixed it outright. The seatbelt frequently sticks and doesnt take up the slack intermittently only to get shut in the drivers door frequently, when I just about think it has corrected itself. And, there is a strange draft on the front passenger side window that gets quite cold in the winter. The seal seems fine and its another problem no shop seems to know anything about.
