Starting Sunday November 27 my car started dripping gasoline on the floor, on the driver side near the rear wheel. Immediately I took it to Volvo dealer Wynne in Hampton, VA. The service specialist told me there was not any existing recall for that issue and let me go. That night I put under the leak a flat pan. That night I collected one gallon in about 8 hours. I called Volvo cars USA [XXX] explained me the car have been fixed for the campaign #09V483000 in September 14, 2010. I own the car since 2015. I asked her if the recall should be possible to do it again at no cost for me, because it falls under Safety due to the fact the car may get in fire due to the leak of gas. She asked me to go back again to Wynne Volvo dealer and tell to the service specialist that I talked to them and if they wouldn't repair my car I could open a case with Volvo Cars USA. The service specialist told me I could leave the car for inspection, but I would be responsible for at least $180 to get and estimate, but never said that they would fix it under the safety recall number 09V483000 for vehicles sold or registered in the states with hot climate like Virginia. The recall started in January 15, 2010. It covers the fuel pump that can develop cracks in the fuel pump flange. The technician said the repair they did under the recall was replacing an O-Ring gasket only not the fuel pump. The person I talked to in Service is [XXX] with Title Service Advisor. Phone number [XXX]. I called again today Wednesday November 30, 2022 to Volvo Cars USA they said they can not promise to wave the repair because they need first that I pay $180 for a car diagnostic of the issue. They would probably accept to pay part of the total charge but they would be doing it at good will. I don't have $180 to pay upfront for a safety recall that it didn't last but only 12 years. The Safety recall is valid as long as the car is in service, it doesn't matter if I am or not the first owner. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA)

My son was in a side impact collision on the passenger side of his 2004 volvo S60. He was in a rural area and either didn't see the oncoming car or missed his stop sign and the oncoming driver was unable to stop. The other driver IS uninjured but my son in severely injured with a grade 3 dai head injury. He was wearing his seat belt. The side airbags deployed but not the one in the steering wheel. In an email volvo told me this IS how the airbags are designed and that the driver airbags will not deploy on side impact. If that IS correct information, this needs to change. The only significant injury my son has IS where his head hit the steering wheel, if that airbag had deployed his injuries would have potentially been much less. The airbags are already there, I don't understand why they can't just deploy on any significant impact. I will include pictures.

Car IS volvo S60 2004 trim 2.4 4 door sedan FWD has 90317 miles on it. from last few weeks when I am driving vehicle it starts losing power and a warning come try slow down or shift up and my check engine light started blinking. This happened 4 times in last 1 week as the result I need to pull my car to safe place and restart that and then it runs better. this has really put me in danger to myself and other people on road. I am scare of driving the car in multiple lane roads in other lanes. I am now driving it on right lane only so that keep myself and other people safe for quick pull over if needed. check engine gives me code p0171 and p0300. I went on line and followed advice and changed spark plugs, ignition coils and also oxygen sensor but no difference. still car did same thing when I was driving with my family. I went on line and saw that many people have that issue with volvo S60 of this year and model and struggling. I think this IS some volvo s 60 2004 model recall issue as it IS creating accidental hazard to the owner of the car and the other traffic. dr takyar

In stop and go traffic, my foot was on the brake to slow down. I took my foot off the brake and stepped on the accelerator as traffic moved again, there was no response to my foot on the gas pedal. The fuel tank, which I had just filled 10 miles before, showed as empty on the fuel gage. I was very, very slowly rolling forward with residual momentum and my steering wasn't working. There was just enough play in the wheel and forward momentum to aim and arrive at the shoulder of the highway. This was on rte 156 in monterey county, california, where very dangerous accidents happen all the time. Car had to be towed and the dealership has been unable to replicate failure. It was outrageously dangerous and I was alone with my 11-year-old child. So frightening!!!

Fuel pump leaked. Smell gas. Scared it may catch fire. Expensive repair. Volvo IS refusing to honor recall because (1) vehicle purchased in nj (though has spent life in va) and (2) work done at non-volvo mechanic. Due to the severity of the issue, I took it to the nearest mechanic rather than risk driving it to dealer and having it catch fire.

- 10167887Technical Journal TITLE : The Error Frame Finder (EFF) can be an aid in fault tracing intermittent CAN network problems by providing a visible indication of error frames that are being transmitted on the network when the fault becomes active. The advantage of using the EFF function is that error frames are usually transmitted on the network before a vehicle symptom can occur. Hence, if the fault is very intermittent in nature, it may be possible, for example, to induce the wiring fault for a short duration by manipulating the vehicle harnesses and connectors. The electrical fault will occur and be detected by the EFF without ever having a vehicle symptom appear. The instructions for setting up the tool have been simplified.
