EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I JUST KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TURNING SIGNAL MODULE. THE TURN SIGNAL HESITATES AT TIMES AND THEN THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL WILL COME ON OR NO SIGNAL AT ALL. SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT CLEARLY THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM FOR THIS TO KEEP HAPPENING. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS ALSO, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AGAIN IT WOULD BE NICE FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND GAS WILL COME SQUIRTING OUT OF TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT PUMPS AND DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO HAVE GAS SPILLING OUT. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. ANY SERVICE ON GAS TANK WOULD BE CUSTOMERS COST. NOT COVERED IN WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GUSHED OUT OF THE TANK AND SPRAYED OVER THE SUV AND MYSELF AT THE GAS STATION WHEN I WAS REFUELING MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THREE TIMES NOW CAR HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED FOLLOWING FULL REFUELING OF TANK... WE DID RESEARCH ON LINE... IS THIS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE13016? DEALER "KNEW" WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, FIXED IT AT OUR COST BUT SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE ASPEN LIKE THE 300. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT STALLS WITHIN 5 MINUTES. IT DOES IT ONCE AND THEN DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN UNTIL I FILL UP THE NEXT TIME. IF I FILL IT BEFORE IT GETS BELOW A HALF TANK IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DO IT. THE PROBLEM IS I DON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DO THAT AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE NEXT TIME IT STALLS I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER CHRYSLERS WITH V8 HEMI ENGINES ARE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT. THE SAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SAW WHERE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAS COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEN YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS IT SPRAYS GAS OUT, I HAVE HAD MY ASPEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT DOES THE SAME THING, I THINK THAT IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR GAS TO SPRAY OUT EVERYWHERE AND IT IS NOT JUST ONE ASPEN THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, IT IS SEVERAL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK, APPROX. ONE GALLON OF GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT. I GET COVERED IN GASOLINE, ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND, CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ANY TYPE OF SPARK COULD CAUSE ME TO GO ON FIRE, AS WELL AS THE CAR AND FUELING STATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE PERSONALLY VIEWED THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING TO FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, AT WHICH POINT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO, WHICH WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED RUNNING. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ACTION INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO START IT, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT MOVE, AS THOUGH I HAD AN INCORRECT KEY. AGAIN, SOMEHOW ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE KEY TURNED. THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

ALSO MORE RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING MY BLINKER LIGHT AND SOUND DID NOT APPEAR WHEN TURNING MY BLINKER ON, AS WELL AS MY RADIO HAS CEASED UP IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE THE STATION OR DO ANYTHING WITH IT. IT IS A TOUCH SCREEN RADIO. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
DESCRIPTION TO BE SENT BY EMAIL IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS TRANSMISSION. DESCRIPTION EMAIL WILL BEAR THIS TEMPORARY FILE NUMBER. ON A WEEKDAY SOMETIME IN MAY 2014, I STOPPER AT A STOP SIGN, WITHOUT HE ENGINE FULLY HEATED UP, TURNED THE WHEEL OVER TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, APPROXIMATELY 5% OF TRAVEL, THE ENGINE REMAINED AT THE STANDARD 650 RPM CURB IDLE SPEED. HOLDING MY FOOT AT THAT POSITION, THE ENGINE REMAINED AT CURB IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE SECONDS. THE RED THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHTENING BOLT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ENGINE OPERATION WAS OTHERWISE NORMAL. AFTER ABOUT THREE SECONDS, THE ENGINE INCREASED SPEED NORMALLY, THE RED LIGHT WENT OFF AND I DROVE OFF WITHOUT FURTHER MALFUNCTION. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE AT ANY TIME. AT SOME POINT, IN JUNE 2014. THE SAME MALFUNCTION OCCURRED AGAIN. WHEN OPENING THE THROTTLE FROM A STANDING START, THE ENGINE REFUSED TO RESPOND TO THE THROTTLE AND REMAINED AT CURB IDLE FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE SECONDS. THE RED THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT REMAINED ON FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE SECONDS, AND THE ENGINE THEN RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. AGAIN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. FOR MONTHS, THERE WAS A VERY MILD LOW RPM FLAT-SPOTTING SYMPTOM. SPECIFICALLY, ONCE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, SMALL OPENINGS OF THE THROTTLE PRODUCED ONLY VERY MILD ACCELERATION, WITHOUT HESITATION. PUSHING THE THROTTLE DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER PRODUCED NORMAL ACCELERATION WITHOUT A DOWNSHIFT. ON JULY 19, 2014, I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP AND PULLED OUT ONTO A FEEDER ROAD. I NOTICED THE FLAT-SPOTTING AGAIN ON THE THROTTLE OPENING AT LOW RPM. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. I TURNED THE KEY TO ON AND ONCE AGAIN FOLLOWED THE SLOWLY DEPRESS FULLY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE. THIS PROCEDURE INVOLVED FULLY REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL, AT THE END OF THE PROCEDURE. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN RE-STARTED THE CAR. INSTANTLY UPON FIRING, THE ENGINE WENT TO A 4000 RP
