ENGINE
MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED UP. I ONLY HAD 55000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HAD THE TRUCK FULLY SERVICED 2 DAYS BEFORE AS WE WERE OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL TYPES OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER ENGINES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 ASPEN IS COMPLETE IT DOES NOT SHUT-OFF AND GAS SPEWS OUT ALL OVER THE CAR, MYSELF, AND EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND THEN QUIT, IT HAS SINCE STARTED UP AGAIN WITH A VENGEANCE OF AN EXPLOSION OF GASOLINE. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE PUMP, BUT I HAVE GONE TO MANY DIFFERENT STATIONS AND THERE SAME THING OCCURS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, I WENT TO GET GAS. WHILE FUELING THE TANK SPITS BACK FUEL AND ALSO DISENGAGES THE DISPENSING OF FUEL. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE EACH TIME. FUEL FILLER NECK WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GASOLINE DISCHARGED (APPROXIMATELY 1/4 GALLON) OUT OF FUEL FILLER AFTER GASOLINE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AT FILL-UP WHEN TANK REACHES CAPACITY. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS PUMPS, NOT A SPECIFIC STATION. MANY ATTENDANTS AT GAS STATIONS HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS FUEL GETS ON THE GROUND AND ON THE PERSON FUELING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY
EVERY TIME WE FILL UP OUR GAS TANK WHEN THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF THERE IS GUSH OF GAS THAT IS SPIT BACK OUT OF THE TANK. WHEN IT FIRST OCCURRED I WAS DRENCHED WITH GAS. THIS IS NOT SAFE AND WHEN THE DEALER CHECKED OUT THE ISSUE THEY SAID THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE FILLER ASSEMBLY AND WOULD COST $800 TO FIX. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND AS I WRITE THIS TODAY THERE ARE 15 OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME CAR AND SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO HAVE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS IN NJ TELL ME THEY HAVE THIS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME WITH CHRYSLER CARS MAINLY ASPEN, WRANGLERS AND LIBERTY. EVEN THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JS

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING MY ASPEN, IT REGULARLY SPITS BACK FUEL PRIOR TO THE FUEL SHUT OFF DISENGAGING THE DISPENSING OF FUEL. I'VE USED SEVERAL GAS STATIONS AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AT EACH ONE. IT STARTED WITH JUST A LITTLE FUEL SPITTING BACK AND NOW THERE IS PROBABLY TWO TO THREE CUPS THAT FLY OUT OF THE TANK AND IF I'M NOT PAYING ATTENTION IT MAY SPRAY ALL OVER ME. *TT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN HAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM. WHEN I FILL THE TANK AT A GAS STATION-THE STATION PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND GAS WILL COME SPEWING OUT 2-3 FEET OUT OF THE TANK. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I HAD IT LOOKED AT IT HAS TO DO WITH SOME TANK VENTING ISSUE. AFTER HAVING A CANISTER REPLACED AND NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM I WAS TOLD THE WHOLE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
SUDDENLY ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPEN 4 TIMES WHILE BRAKING. MAJOR DAMAGE WAS SUSTAINED TO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. DO NOT REMEMBER IF THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DURING THE TIMES THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION WAS EXPERIENCED. WAS GOING AROUND 5 '' 10 MPH STEPPED ON BRAKE TO STOP AND ENGINE REV''ED UP AND BEFORE I WAS ALE TO TURN KEY OFF OR PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL I HIT A CAMPER. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I WAS ON AN ISOLATED ROAD AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CALL THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD CHECK THAT WOULD VERIFY MY COMPLAINT. ANOTHER TIME WAS ON HIGHWAY AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND TACH WENT TO APPROX. 4000 RPM. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO PUT OFF THE ROAD SAFELY. *TR

WHEN YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK FULL, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, AND THEN WHEN YOU PULL OUT THE PUMP GAS EXPLODES OUT ALL OVER. IT ACTUALLY SHOOTS OUT GAS, FROM THE GAS TANK, SPEWING OUT EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. THIS SAFETY ITEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER IN A RECALL. *KB
