INCREDIBLY STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER 4 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS OF TEMPS OVER 100 DEGREES. SLIGHT GAS LEAKAGE AT FUEL PUMP. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN TRANSPORTED IN THIS CAR EVERYDAY AND VOLVO WILL NOT EXTEND THE RECALL TO ANY OTHER STATES. *TR

I NEEDED TO REPLACE A FUEL PUMP ON MY VOLVO S60 AFTER JUST FIVE YEARS. I SMELLED GAS AND IT CONCERNED ME. WHEN I TOOK IT IN, THEY WANTED ME TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. I FELT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS UPSET ABOUT IT. WHEN I DID SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT VOLVO HAS HAD A PROBLEM WITH THEIR FUEL PUMPS. I WROTE A FORMAL LETTER COMPLAINING TO VOLVO WHICH THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN NEVADA AND ARIZONA. WHY NOT CALIFORNIA? *TR
