2002 VOLVO S60 Complaints

EXPERIENCE EXTREME GAS SMELLS WHICH PERMEATED INTO THE HOUSE VIA GARAGE WALLS. AFTER HAVING IT INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DELIVERY MECHANISM OF THE TANK. REPLACED PARTS AND PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. *TR

WE ARE A 2 VOLVO FAMILY (HAVING PURCHASED THEM "PRE-CERTIFIED FROM VOLVO 2 AND 3 YEARS AGO RESPECTIVELY). BOTH CARS (2002 S60 & 2001 CROSS COUNTRY) HAVE HAD TO HAVE THEIR TRANSMISSIONS REPLACED SINCE PURCHASE - MINE ONCE (SO FAR) AND MY HUSBAND'S THREE TIMES - ALL BEFORE 55,000 MILES. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON DEFECTIVE VOLVO TRANSMISSIONS: ALL VOLVO MODELS - FROM 2001 THROUGH 2006 AND MILEAGE RANGING FROM 20,000 TO 60,000. WHY HAS VOLVO USA NOT BEEN TAKEN TO TASK ON THESE DEFECTIVE FACTORY INSTALLED TRANSMISSIONS AND MADE TO STAND BEHIND THE MANUFACTURE OF THEIR CARS? *TR

THIS IS IN REFERENCE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NO. 07V152000. REF. FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE: DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP. IN THIS CASE YOU INDICATE THAT THE PROBLEM INVOLVES VEHICLES REGISTERED IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. I AM HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH A VEHICLE IN FLORIDA. MAYBE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT LIMITED TO ONLY 2 STATES. *TR

I NOTICED A FUEL SMELL COMING FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT, WHICH STEADILY GOT WORSE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND FOUND THE FUEL PUMP WAS LEAKING. I PAID TO HAVE IT REPLACED. *TR

FUEL PUMP LEAKAGE AND SMELL INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF VOLVO S60. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND VOLVO HAS ISSUED A RECALL IN THE STATES OF NEVADA AND ARIZONA FOR A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PUMP HOUSING. R176 IS VOLVO'S RECALL NUMBER AND NHTSA'S NUMBER IS 07V152000. VOLVO REFUSED TO REPLACE MY FUEL PUMP AS I'M IN FLORIDA. THE LOCAL VOLVO DEALER DID NOT HAVE THE FUEL PUMP IN STOCK BECAUSE IT WAS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER SO THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN YET REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANYTHING WAS WRONG. I BELIEVE VOLVO IS BEING DISHONEST ABOUT FIXING THEIR SAFETY DEFECTS. *TR

FUEL SMELL VOLVO S60 YEAR 2002 NHTSA HAS A CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V152000 AND VOLVO HAS CAMPAIGN NUMBER R176. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. THE VEHICLE UNNECESSARILY GOES INTO UNEVEN ENGINE IDLING WHEN DRIVING BETWEEN 10-30 MPH. THE FAILURE PREVENTS THE BRAKES FROM WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO ROLL INSTEAD OF STOPPING. WHEN THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE, INSTALLED A NEW ECM, AND REPLACED THE MASS AIR FLOW PIPE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,600 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,554. UPDATED 12-12-07. *KB THERE WAS A MASS AIR FLOW FAILURE. UPDATED

LEAKING GAS FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK. CURRENTLY HAVE A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V152000 THAT ONLY COVERS CARS IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. *TR

MY VOLVO LEAKS GASOLINE FUMES. UPON SOME INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE NHTSA HAS A CAMPAIGN NUMBER 07V152000 AND VOLVO HAS CAMPAIGN NUMBER R176 ADDRESSING THIS EXACT PROBLEM. VOLVO WILL ONLY FIX THESE PROBLEMS AT DEALER COST IN ARIZONA AND NEVADA. HOW IS THIS? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 VOLVO S60. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE CONTACT SMELLED GASOLINE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT HIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V152000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP). HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT, BUT STATED THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 68,000.
