FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "GASCAP" WORDING KEEPS COMING ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. HAVE REPLACED GASCAP WITH CHRYSLER PART. HAVE RESET COMPUTER CODES SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BUT 2-3 DAYS LATER COME BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED A SENSOR AND RESET CODES. 2 DAYS LATER, LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER NOW SAYS MY FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO A CRACK CAUSING A LEAK! THE VEHICLE HAS 43K MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO ME- I KNOW THAT THE DURANGOS AND ASPENS HAVE HAD LOTS OF FUEL TANK PROBLEMS AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY A 2007 WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES SHOULD HAVE ANY FUEL TANK PROBLEMS! UNSAFE! THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $780 TO FIX. UNFORTUNATELY, BEING UNEMPLOYED, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. HOPE A FIRE DOESN'T START IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUNCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TURN SIGNALS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN .WHEN I HIT IT TO LEFT, MANY TIMES IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START BLINKING RIGHT. MANY TIMES WHEN IT IS BLINKING LEFT, IT WILL CHANGE AND JUST START BLINKING RIGHT WITH NO TOUCHING ANYTHING. MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE IT BLINKING LEFT OR RIGHT, IT WILL STOP BLINKING AND NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I WOULD SAY 80% OR MORE OF THE TIMES IT DOES ONE OF THESE 3 THINGS. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHENEVER I TRY TO FILL IT UP. . THE PUMP SHUTS OFF , BUT THEN GAS OVERFLOWS OUT. I DO NOT TOP OFF IT JUST HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP. GAS BUBBLES OUT ALL OVER TRUCK AND GROUND (AND SHOES IF WITHIN REACH). THIS HAPPENS 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES IF I TRY TO FILL IT. IF I ONLY PUT IN 16-17 GALLONS WE ARE FINE (26 GALLON TANK). NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SAID THEY TESTED IT AND IT IS FINE. HAVE SEEN OTHER POSTS ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. EVERYTIME WE FILL UP AT THE PUMP IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, BUT THEY DO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR DURANGO'S. ALL OVER THE INTERNET I HAVE READ OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY GAS TANK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MINE IS NOT IN WARRANTY AND I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVER SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. *TR

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
UNDER NORMAL DRIVING THE ESP/BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CHIME AND ILLUMINATE. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CLOCKSPRING, AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND/OR THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD CLOCKSPRING REPLACED, AND YES I DO HAVE THE OLD PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

STEERING:LINKAGES:TIE ROD ASSEMBLY
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DROVE OVER TWO SETS OF RAILROAD TRACKS AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND NOTICE THAT THE TIE ROD ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD CRACKED IN HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY HAD THE TIRE ROD IN STOCK AND THE CONTACT PURCHASED IT AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60100.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL STAY ON AND THEN GO OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND I EVEN TOOK A PICTURE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE GOING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID UNLESS IT HAPPENS WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE THEY CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MY DAUGHTER AND BROTHERS CHRYSLER AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT JUST COMING ON FOR NO REASON AND THE DEALER STATING NOTHING IS WRONG. I BELIEVE THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PROBLEM TO BE DETERMINED AND FIXED. WITH A BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO MAJOR ACCIDENTS IF THE BRAKES FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT OPERATE. *TR

STEERING
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN IN PARSIPANNY, NJ. SHE WAS MERGING FROM 287S ONTO 80W AND TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH. AS SHE WAS MERGING ONTO 80W THE DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT ON THE STEERING LINKAGE COMPLETELY FAILED RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. SHE MANAGED TO LIMP CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED MYSELF AND AAA TO HAVE CAR BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 64K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. SHE IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND WE HAVE A 3.5 YEAR OLD SON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND/OR SPEED WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE AND SOLUTION.. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT. JUST BOUGHT IT TWO WEEKS AGO AND SINCE THEN I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. ON THREE SEPARATE ATTEMPTS, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL COME FLYING BACK OUT. EVERYTIME IT HAS COME OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SPLASH BACK ON THE PUMP ITSELF. ON A FOURTH ATTEMPT, I TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, GAS CAME BACK OUT, NOT SPEWING, BUT STILL CAME BACK OUT. IT'S A VERY AGGRAVATING AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
1. NO FAILURE HAS OCCURRED, BUT IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. 2. DESCRIPTION: THE SUSPENSION IS TOO SOFT AND BOUNCY. THE FRONT END FEELS LIKE IT SKIPS ACROSS THE ROAD IF YOU HIT A BAD SPOT IN THE PAVEMENT; JUST NORMAL BUMPS. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED, BUT IF YOU ARE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT FEELS INCREDIBLE DANGEROUS. CANNOT FEEL THE ROAD WHATSOEVER. TOO MANY "LARGE" BLIND SPOTS. I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE THIS CAR, B/C I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE TOO DRIVE. 3. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND VIBRATION ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR
