Show complaint excerpts

ENTERING MY VEHICLE I SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. UPON INVESTIGATION, I FOUND THIS WAS DUE TO A CRACKED FUEL PUMP.

NHTSA ODI report, 20150921

FUEL SMELL COMING FROM TRUNK. POSSIBLE COMBUSTION. PREVIOUS RECALL WAS NOT EXTENDED TO COLORADO, BUT AS THE FRONT RANGE SUMMER TEMPERATURES AND DRYNESS ARE AN INDICATOR OF FAILURE, I WORRY THAT THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COLORADO OWNERS.

FIRE INJURY
Show complaint excerpts

THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT WARMER CAUGHT FIRE. IT BURNED A HOLE THROUGH THE SIDE OF THE SEAT COVER AND ALSO CAUSED A MILD BURN TO MY LEG. I STOPPED THE CAR, SHUT OF THE SEAT WARMER, AND WAS ABLE TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE WHILE IT WAS STILL SMALL.

Show complaint excerpts

THE FUEL PUMP IN MY 2004 VOLVO XC70 FAILED, CAUSING GAS TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND FROM A NYT ARTICLE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS INTO NHTSA REGARDING A SIMILAR CONDITION IN THE 2004 XC90.
