FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING, UPON AUTO SHUT OFF OF FUEL NOZZLE APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GASOLINE WILL BLOW OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE, AS IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT FUEL SUPPLIERS . THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR IF FILLING IS STOPPED SHORT OF A FULL TANK. FUEL USUALLY SPLASHES ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND HAS GOTTEN ON MY SLEEVE IF MY HAND IS ON THE NOZZLE. SPLASHING OF FUEL IS DANGEROUS, IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE ALSO. UPDATED IVOQ 02/24/11 *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 7-10 OZ SHOOTS OUT AFTER EVERY FILL UP. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, I AM JUST ALLOWING IT TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY. GAS SHOOTS OUT OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON MANY CHRYSLER ASPENS ACCORDING TO A INTERNET SEARCH. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR RECALL ON THEIR DURANGO MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, OUR 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 37,000 MILES HAS BEEN SPILLING FUEL AT THE END OF EACH REFUELING. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS IT SHOULD, AND THEN FUEL SPILLS OUT. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 5-7 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILL OUT EACH TIME THIS OCCURS. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK OF THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO (SAME VEHICLE - OURS IS REBADGED AS A CHRYSLER). THE RECALL LANGUAGE STATED "FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUELED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING ON OUR 2008 MODEL. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT FUEL THEN FOLLOWS AND SPILLS OUT. *TR
