My 2004 Volvo XC90 with a 2.5T engine, 7 pass, intermittently and inadvertently stalls while driving it. It is scary because all electrical goes off, instrument panel, radio, lights, etc, several warning messages appears, such ABS, air bags failure, brake failure, engine failure, etc. It won't respond to acceleration and brakes are very hard to push, the engine does not stop. I have to stop, turn it off, wait few minutes, then start it, everything comes to normal again but with the check engine and the air bags message, then after some minutes of driving the same stalling and electrical issues happen again. This is serious because you are on freeway and you loose brakes and engine control, no information in instrument panel, etc. I found that the relays in the cem (control electronics module) are super hot possibly due to loose connections, in the video below you will see the problems and infrared pictures of the cem. Please help!!!!!! please help!!!!!! please help!!!!!! please help!!!!!! please see my youtube video and other videos with the same issue search for XC90 issues, XC90 stalling, XC90 electrical problems, etc. Https://www.youtube.com/watch?V=fwulb1sksie&feature=youtu.be thank you

To whom it may concern: I currently own a 2004 XC90 T6, and have now encountered the same issue twice with my vehicle. Last year around the same time frame, there was a terrible scent of gasoline fumes throughout the cabin and exterior of the vehicle. The strongest concentration of the odor occurred around the backseat, passenger side. I took the vehicle to my mechanic and it was conclude that the was a fume leak occurring from the seal around the fuel pump. I purchased a new pump and seal from Volvo and had the unit replaced. Exactly around the same time of the year, a year later, I am encountering the same exact issue again. There is an offensively strong odor from gasoline fumes in and around the vehicle originating in the same place. I did some research on the web, and it looks like there have been hundreds of similar issues reported.

Strong gasoline odor outside and at times inside the car. Researched the issue and found that there was a NHTSA recall in 2010 for this same issue related to the fuel pump, but it only covered certain states. Due to the fact that the vehicle was purchased in Minnesota it was not covered in the recall and I was never notified of the defect. NHTSA investigation faulted a design issue with the fuel pump combined with temperature variations. Apparently 90F to -20F temperature swings in Minnesota was not deemed sufficient to be included or notified about the recall.

Noticed the smell of fuel while exiting the vehicle. Looked under the vehicle and noticed a fuel leak under the driver's side passenger door. Fuel was leaking at the approximate rate of 3 gallons per 24 hours. Drove the car to the dealer the next morning. Dealer diagnosed the problem as a crack in the fuel sender located on top of the gas tank (not the fuel pump which was replaced under the prior recall). When asked how the leak developed the dealer stated that the plastic fitting cracked due to the cycling of temperatures (same reason for fuel pump failure and recall).

I just purchased this vehicle used a few days ago and now notice there is a smell of gasoline when we get out of the car. I went on line and discovered that there was a recall for the fuel pump which sits on top of the gas tank. I contacted Volvo and they said to take it to the local dealer in waterbury ct. They told me it would be $800 to repair the part because the warranty ran out in may of this year, and this is November. This is a known safety issue and feel that Volvo should replace the defective part free of charge. Volvo said that the recall only applies to that model located in the South or southwestern us. I am the second owner and have no way of knowing if this car was driven for long periods in those regions. Also, how can they know if their known problem with this fuel pump has not spread to other areas as well?
