ENGINE
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING IT TO LOSE BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK SO IT CANT BE CHANGED. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE CHANGED AND THE FUEL TANK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A TICKING TIME BOMB BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE STEERING JERKS AND CAR SHIFTS WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR I WOULD DODGE THE HOLE. VERY SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED AND THEN TELL US THERE'S NO PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOUR DRIVING OVER 40 MPH AND WHEN YOUR DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED ONE DAY. THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC DAY, SINCE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND HIT A HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW AND ALWAYS HAD THE PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING, WE HAVE INSTALLED 3 COMPRESSES, DRYERS IT WILL NOT COOL THIS LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP 8 DAYS. THEY MUST HAVE INSTALLED AND REMOVED EVERY PART THAT WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO COOL, STILL BLOWS HOT AIR AND IT'S ALREADY 95+ DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS ASPEN AND IT USE TO BE A GREAT CAR, BUT ONCE THEY BREAK YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY SOMETHING NEW. IT'S NO WONDER THEY ONLY MAKE THE ASPEN 3 YEARS. WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE EVER.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE GIVES NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR PROVIDES ANY OBD CODES TO PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE STALLS BOTH WHILE IN MOTION AND WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN IN MOTION ALL POWER ASSIST IS LOST INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKING ASSIST. MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE NOW AFTER NEARLY GETTING INTO A TRAFFIC COLLISION WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND SHE LOST ALL POWER ASSIST WITH OUR TWO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL SOMETIMES IMMEDIATELY RESTART AND RUN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN STALL AGAIN OR WILL JUST CRANK AND FAIL TO START. THIS PROBLEM ONLY SEEMS TO OCCUR AFTER FUELING UP AND TOPPING OFF THE FUEL TANK. ONCE THE FUEL TANK BURNS OFF SOME OF THE FUEL IT SEEMS TO RUN JUST FINE.

POWER TRAIN
I HAD TROUBLE WITH A HUMMING NOISE AND POPPING UNDER MY VEHICLE FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE HUMMING GOT SO LOUD THAT WE COULD NOT HEAR EACH OTHER TALK TO ONE ANOTHER AT ALL. IT POPPED PULLING OUT, GOING AROUND A CURVE, GOING BACKWARDS, OR SLOWING DOWN. THE HUMMING STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER IT GOT VERY LOUD. MY ASPEN THEN FELL TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE AND SMOKE STARTED SHOOTING OUT FROM THE PASSENGER BACK TIRE WHEN DRIVING IT. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS VERY BAD. THE REAR AXLE AND REAR AXLE BEARING ARE DESTROYED AND IT WILL NEED A NEW REAR END. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO8 REAR PINION NUT RECALL COMPLETED ON 1/13/2014. IF THE RECALL REALLY SOLVES THE 2009 ASPEN PROBLEM OF THE REAR END AXLE AND AXLE BEARINGS FROM BEING DESTROYED THEN WHY AM I NOW HAVING TO GET A NEW REAR END IN DECEMBER OF 2019. I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED SO NOW PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. A $2500+ REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE IS AN AWFUL PRODUCT FLAW THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR. I HAVE HAD CARS FOR 20 YEARS THAT I NEVER HAD TO POCKET MONEY LIKE THAT FOR ALL THEIR REPAIRS TOGETHER.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON MAY 9TH 2019 THE VEHICLES COMPUTER WAS GIVING STRANGE ALERTS ABOUT TIRE PRESSURE CHANGING AMONG ALL 4 TIRES. ALSO CHANGE OIL ALERT ON & OFF. LOW GAS ALERT ON & OFF. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK AROUND 9 AM & I PARKED THE VEHICLE, BROUGHT MY PERSONAL THINGS INTO THE OFFICE. I DECIDED TO USE OUR COMPRESSED AIR TO CHECK ALL 4 WHEELS TIRE PRESSURE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE WITH MY RIGHT FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AS I WAS BACKING UP THE RPM'S INCREASED SUDDENLY SENDING ME SPEEDING IN REVERSE TOWARDS MY WORK BUILDING. I LOOKED AT MY FOOT TO MAKE SURE IT WAS ON THE BRAKE & IT WAS. I NEVER TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE'S SPEED INCREASED IN 3 SECONDS TO OVER 40 MPH. I BACKED THROUGH THE CORNER OF MY BUILDING, ACROSS RAILROAD TRACKS & INTO THE NEIGHBORING BUILDING. THE CORNER SUPPORT BEAM OF MY BUILDING WENT THROUGH MY SUNROOF MISSING MY HEAD BY INCHES. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. MIRACULOUSLY NO ONE WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED & IT CAUSED EXTREME DAMAGE TO BOTH BUILDINGS. I CONTACTED AN ATTORNEY BUT SINCE THERE WAS NO SERIOUS INJURY THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED. THEY SAID IT WASN'T WORTH IT TO THEM. I TRIED TO REACH CHRYSLER BUT NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. I WAS RECENTLY MADE AWARE OF THIS WEBSITE TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I HAVE A VIDEO FROM MY WORK SECURITY CAMERA IT IS NOT ONE OF THE TYPE OF FILES THIS WEBSITE ACCEPTS

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 ASPEN I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS FLICKERING. I'VE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 YEAR. THE PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT 3 OR 4 MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED IT. IT STARTED OUT ONLY HAPPENING ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH. NOW IT HAS BECOME A DAILY PROBLEM. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR, STARTER AND OTHER THINGS CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WAS DRIVING LAST WEEK AND HAD TO MAKE A HARD STOP AND THE VEHICLE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I FEEL LIKE BOTH OF THESE PRESENT A SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND OTHER MOTORIST ON THE ROAD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
JUNE 11, 2019. THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND LOCAL ROAD. THIS HAS CREATED AN UNSAFE CONDITION FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHERS. CHRYSLER SERVICE INDICATED A FUSE WAS BLOWN AND CHANGED THE FUSE. THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN FOR 1 DAY BEFORE SHUTTING OFF AGAIN. THE DEALER ADVISED THE OWNER OF WHICH FUSE TO CHANGE. THE OWNER CHANGED THE FUSE AND THE CAR STARTED AND OPERATED. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CAR WAS TOWED AND OWNER CHANGED THE FUSE AGAIN. THE CAR WILL NOT START. CHRYSLER SERVICE ADVISED CHANGING THE JUNCTION BOX (CHRYSLER SERVICE INSTALLED JUNCTION BOX) AND THE OWNER WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POWER CONTROL MODULE. 8/30/19 THE PCM WAS INSTALLED AND INITIALLY, THE CAR DID NOT START. IT WAS DETERMINED THERE WAS A BLOWN FUSE IN THE JUNCTION BOX. CHANGED THE FUSE AND THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN FOR A DAY. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHANGED THE FUSE AND THE CAR STARTED AND WAS DRIVEN FOR ABOUT 1 MILE AND SHUT OFF AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC.

SUSPENSION
IN THE LAST YEAR I NOTICED THE CAR IS GETTING MORE BOUNCY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS, IF I HIT A POCK HOLE OR BUMP IT SHIFTS THE CAR OVER AND IT IS WORSE ON THE FREEWAY. GOING OVER THE BUMPS BOUNCES THE CAR UP AND OVER!! THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY ROAD, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT LANE. MY SON IN-LAW EVEN NOTICED THIS WHEN HE DROVE IT!! THE SUSPENSION FEELS TOO LOOSE!! WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THIS IS NOT SAFE!! THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CAR MANUAL!!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK ... THE VEHICLE WILL STUTTER / SHAKE WHEN AT IDLE OR DIE COMPLETELY AT IDLE LIKE AT A STOP SIGN OR DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW. IT WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 25-40 MILES IT STOPS HAPPENING. WE HAVE PAID FOR TOTAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, WE HAVE ALSO PAID $1300 TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN FIND FIXED. THIS DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM AT ALL AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SUV. THIS IS THE CAR OUR SON DRIVES AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. WE ARE NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NOW EMPTIED OUR SAVINGS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SERVICED, INSPECTED AND REPAIRED.
