A FEW MONTHS BACK, THIS VEHICLE WAS LEAKING GASOLINE FROM THE AREA OF FUEL PUMP. THE FUEL PUMP IS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR SEAT OF THE VEHICLE, SO THERE WAS ALSO A STRONG ODOR INSIDE THE CAR. THE VEHICLE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED JUST PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. SO, FOR 20 MILES, MYSELF AND MY WIFE WERE SUBJECTED TO GASOLINE FUMES, AND AT THE SAME TIME, RAW GASOLINE WAS SPILLING UNDERNEATH THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. MY REPAIR SHOP DIAGNOSED, AND REPAIRED CAR BY INSTALLING A NEW FUEL PUMP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION , I HAVE FOUND THAT VOLVO CARS DID RECALL, AND REPAIR SOME MODELS OF 2003 AND 2005... EVEN MY 2004 WAS REIMBURSED FOR THIS. I BELIEVE THAT VOLVO KNOWS THAT'S THERE IS A PART DEFECT, NOT A PART FAILURE... THIS IS A STATIONARY, HARD COMPOSITE PLASTIC THAT IS THE SAME CULPRIT AS THE EARLIER YEARS INVOLVED. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO FURTHER INVESTIGATE VOLVO CARS TO INSURE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS SCARE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC FOR MYSELF AND ALL OTHERS ON THE ROADS THAT DAY

ETM FAILS CAUSING ME TO LIMP HOME OR HAS ERRATIC THROTTLE BEHAVIOR, HAD REPAIRED BASICALLY THEY JUST STATED IT HAD TO BE CLEANED BUT THE INJECTORS WHERE FINE. AFTER SPENDING OVER $600.00 DOLLARS NOW THEY ARE STATING I NEED TO SPEND ANOTHER $600.00 ON THE PART TO REPLACE BECAUSE THE MOTOR IS CAUSING IT TO FAIL. I AM USUALLY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THEN A MESSAGE WILL DISPLAY 'REDUCE ENGINE PERFORMANCE CAUSING ME TO GO FROM 65 DOWN TO 40 MILES PER HOUR AND I FEAR THAT ONE DAY IT IS GOING TO CAUSE AND ACCIDENT DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAILURE ON BEHALF OF VOLVO ETM FIASCO. VOLVO HAS KNOWN THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN BECAUSE BACK IN 1999 TO 2002 THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY WERE ISSUED A 10 YEAR WARRANTY OR 200,000 MILE WARRANTY AFTER REPEAT FAILURES. I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BASED ON SAFETY CONCERNS AND DEMAND A RECALL AND BASED ON THE SAME ISSUE 'FAULTY DESIGN' AND VOLVO HAS KNOWN THIS CONTINUES TO BE A PROBLEM. 2006 SEEM TO HAVE A VERY HIGH REPAIR AND THIS SO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THOSE CARS. THANKS! *TR
