2004 VOLVO XC90 Complaints

A FEW DAYS AGO I BEGAN TO SMELL FUEL IN THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE OUTSIDE. THE SMELL BEGAN TO GET WORSE AND LINGER FOR DAYS AFTER OPERATING IT. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I DETERMINED IT TO BE THE FUEL PUMP ISSUE THAT SIMILAR YEARS AND MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR IN 2009. MY VEHICLE WASN'T ON THE RECALL SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED IN PA RATHER THAN IN ONE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP. VOLVO AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PART BUT NOT THE LABOR WHICH AMOUNTS TO $800. THESE FUELS PUMPS PRESENT AN EXTREME RISK FOR FIRE AND INJURY AND ALL VEHICLES SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AT VOLVOS EXPENSE. VOLVO SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OR NHTSA SHOULD FORCE THEM TO. JUST BECAUSE OF VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN ONE STATE VERSUS ANOTHER SHOULD NOT DICTATE WHETHER THEY ARE RECALLED OR NOT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 VOLVO XC90. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS OBSERVED AND THE SUN ROOF SHATTERED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (THE VOLVO STORE, 1051 W. WEBSTER AVENUE, WINTER PARK, FL, 32789) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUN ROOF NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 143,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SUN ROOF GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING 55+ MPH ON THE INTERSTATE FREEWAY UNDER NORMAL CONDITION DURING MY COMMUTE HOME. I CALLED THE POLICE THINKING THAT SOMEONE HAD THROW A ROCK DOWN FROM A BRIDGE OVERHEAD, BUT ONCE STOPPED I FOUND NO EVIDENCE OF AN OBJECT BEING THE CAUSE OF THE GLASS SHATTERING. THERE WERE NO MARKS ON THE ROOF OF THE VEHICLE OR ANY OBJECT FOUND INSIDE THE VEHICLE. IT WAS A SPONTANEOUS SHATTERING OF THE SUN ROOF GLASS ON AN OTHERWISE NORMAL DRIVE HOME ON A SUNNY DAY, NO WEATHER, TEMP WAS AROUND 75 DEGREES.

HI, WHEN DRIVING MY CAR UP ANY SLIGHT LITTLE HILL, I HAVE NO POWER AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO DRIVE. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING!! I HAVE READ THERE ARE RECALLS IN THE FUEL PUMPS AND ALSO OTHER RECALLS WITH THE MODEL VOLVO XC90. I HOPE THEY CAN REPAIR IT AND PAY FOR IT!!

CATASTROPHIC BLOWOUT FAILURE OF PRIMEWELL VALERA TOURING TIRE PURCHASED FROM FIRESTONE IN JACKSON, MS, ON 06/14/2016. BLOWOUT OCCURRED ON 07/03/2017 WHILE WIFE WAS DRIVING ON I-55. WE HAVE PUT LESS THAN 12K MILES ON THESE TIRES AND, NOW, DO NOT FEEL SAFE. POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO CAR (VOLVO XC90). WIFE STRANDED OVER JULY 4TH HOLIDAY IN LOUISIANA BECAUSE FIRESTONE IS CLOSED. AFTER INITIALLY TELLING US THAT THE TIRES WOULD BE REPLACED FREE BECAUSE THERE WAS A RECALL, FIRESTONE NOW SAYS WE WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR NEW TIRES BECAUSE OUR TIRES ARE NOT BEING RECALLED. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING.

TL* THE CONTACT SERVICED A 2004 VOLVO XC90. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE EMITTED A STRONG FUEL ODOR AND THERE WAS FUEL VISIBLE ABOVE THE FUEL PUMP.
