Suspension · at 101,000 miles · reported May 20, 2017
I was departing my home village about a block from my home and I heard a loud bang in the front driver side at about 15 MPH!! No bump.. Nothing! I looked under the car and there was no obvious issue at the initial look and I drove another quarter mile and heard a slight grind or noise on small bumps... Then a clank. I backed up and there was a piece of the coil spring on the road!!!! The front left - drivers side - coil spring snapped in two. At 101,000 miles.

I stopped the car, shut of the seat warmer, and was able to extinguish the fire while it was still small. A search on the internet revealed that other owners have experienced this problem.

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.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 57,000 miles · reported Sep 21, 2009
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. The leaking pump was repaired by a volvo dealer at considerable ($1300) cost.
