I have a 2002 Volvo S60 that is recalling cars with leaking fuel pumps. We have had this car for about a year and it's been leaking gas slowly and now gas is coming out of our car a lot. I called Volvo and they aren't able to repair the car because the warranty expired for my vin in july 2002. I do think that our car should qualify to be repaired. Fuel system, gasoline
