I purchased this 2003 Volvo Xc70 recently and a few weeks after driving it I noticed a bad smell of gas. I looked around and did not see anything leaking. I kept driving daily and smelled gas every single time the car was on. I became very concerned because I drive with my 6 year old daughter in the car. After some time I noticed that there was a gas leak coming from the passenger side rear and this became a very scary and dangerous situation. I automatically drove to the nearest mechanic shop and got the car looked at. The mechanic told me this is very dangerous and can not be driven because the car can catch fire or even explode. After some research and after hearing back from the mechanic I learned that there is a recall on the fuel pump on this model car and this is exactly the problem. I reached out to Volvo and they tell me that my vehicle does not have a recall and that they will only pay for the part. I have plenty of pictures showing the defect in the fuel pump. I find this ridiculous since they know that this is an issue with these cars. My family and I could have died from being in this car god forbid and now I am stuck with this bill from the mechanic due to Volvo's failure/defect. Volvo is known for having the safest cars in the world which is why I decided to purchase this car for my family, and now I am stuck with a bill for there defect and can not find help or answers.

Fuel gauge erratically moves downward inappropriately. Seems to reset when car restarted, but totally undependable in terms of accuracy. Auto is 3. 5 years old but out of warranty at 60k mi. Dealer recommends new fuel tank (which includes sending unit) and fuel pump. Recommended against used part as "old part has been superceded" it sounds like this is a defect which has not resulted in a recall/campaign. Note: repair with parts and labor is $2100. 00.
