FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL EVERYTIME. ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME FLYING BACK OUT. THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ON TO ME, THE FUEL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, FUEL STILL COMES SPLASHING/SPEWING BACK OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ASPEN OWNERS TO GET THE FUEL PROBLEM RESOLVED???? SAFETY FIRST! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN GAS TANK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING ROLLOVERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FILL UP WHICH GOES DOWN VEHICLE AND ALL OVER PERSON FUELING. THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL HARM OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE PARKED AND BEING FUELED, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED WHILE BEING FILLED INSTEAD OF SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL TANK AND GAS LINE NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, 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, MY PASSENGERS 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 MALFUCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT

IN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AS SOON AS THE PUMP STOPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK. THIS EVEN HAPPENS IF I FINISH THE FINAL FEW GALLONS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE FILL UPS AND ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SOME MONTHS AGO. *TR

POWER TRAIN
ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GARAGE, IMPACTED MY STEEL WORKBENCH/TOOL CONTAINER, WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL AND THE FRONT END IMPACTED THE GROUND SEVEN FEET BELOW THE GARAGE DROPOFF AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REMOVED THE KEY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS WITNESSED THE EVENT AS THE VEHICLE DROVE OUT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT FT BELVOIR AMC. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN THE AC COMPRESSOR, FLICKERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL LIGHT, LOSS OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN 'R' IT WOULD FALL OUT OF GEAR. ALL WERE REPORTED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AT CHRYSLER DEALERS IN CA, MS AND VA. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER LATE NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED A LETTER BACK ON 17 DECEMBER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLAIMS RESOLUTION GROUP STATING THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER HAD VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2007 THAT HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND THE ACCELERATORS WERE MADE BY THE SAME SUPPLIER THAT MADE THE TOYOTA ONES. HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/06/04/CHRYSLER-IS-RECALLING-CALIBER-AND-COMPASS-FOR-ACCELERATOR-PEDAL-PROBLEM/ I AM PREPARED TO DISCUSS FURTHER ANY QUESTIONS CHRYSLER LEADERSHIP MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION AND WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT.

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WHEN THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL AND AXEL TO COME OFF, WENT LEFT INSTANTLY AND INTO A 18 INCH DITCH, AND BROKE HER HAND. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE VERY NEXT DAY, THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND SENT A MAN OUT TO TAKE PICTURES, HE DOWN PLAYED THE WHOLE THING LIKE THIS WAS NORMAL. LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SAYING IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER. I HAVE TAKEN THE BROKEN PART TO AT LEAST 10 PLACES THAT KNOWS ABOUT FRONT ENDS ALSO METAL AND WELDING SHOPS BODY SHOPS. WITHIN 10 SECONDS THEY ALL SAID IT IS A DEFECT. YOU CAN SEE VERY PLAINLY WHERE IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR AWHILE, OLD AND RUSTED, AND THEN THE NEW BREAK. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED , JUST BROKE OFF. CHRYSLER WILL NOT E-MAIL ME OR TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE. MY SUV WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID ME BACK. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND PICTURES. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE A PERSON OR FAMILY GOT KILLED. IF THIS HAD BROKE OFF AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED MY FAMILY WOULD OF GOT KILLED, SHE JUST PULLED ON TO A COUNTY ROAD AND ABOUT A 1000 FT. IT SNAPPED OFF. NO LAWYERS WILL TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN JUST A BROKEN HAND. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO. OR WANT PICTURES LET ME KNOW. EVEN AFTER I HAVE MY MONEY I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY AND WHEN I SEE ASPENS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE A CHANCE I WILL STOP AND SHOW THEM THE PART AND WARN THEM THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO GET IT CHECKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

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

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

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

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
