LOOKING FOR REPAIRS ON FUEL ISSUES,I READ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. MY VOLVO HAD STARTED TO SMELL LIKE GAS, MORE IN THE REAR RIGHT SIDES OR BACK SIDE. I HAD READ THAT IT MAYBE OR IS A RECALL ISSUE . I BOUGHT MY VOLVO IN 4/28/15 BEING ONLY THE SECOND OWNER,I NOTICED THE SMELL CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR, THEY SUGGESTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK. CAME UP AS POSSIBLE VOLVO RECALL, SINCE A BOUGHT THE CAR AS IS THEY DIDN'T FIX IT, THEY DID SUGGEST ON CALLING VOLVO DIRECT FOR THIS ISSUE. I MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH AUTONATION VOLVO IN SAN JOSE CA ON 6/15/2015. WHEN SHOWING UP FOR SERVICE THEY DENIED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT A RECALL ON THAT PARTICULAR PROBLEM FUEL ISSUES, IT WAS A RECALL ON 157. I WAS SURPRISED BECAUSE I HAD GONE FOR A FUEL ISSUE NOT A SUSPENSION ISSUE. SO MY FUEL ISSUE IS STILL PRESENT. SO ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT MY ISSUE WITH MY VOLVO IS A RECALL WITCH VOLVO OF SAN JOSE CA DON'T WANT TO FIX BECAUSE ITS NOT IN THE YEAR, MODEL, MAKE. CLEARLY I HAVE THE MOBIL MAKE AND YEAR, 2004 XC90 VOLVO DO TO ALL THE INFORMATION FOUND. MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY PLUS MY 7 YR.
