ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS, STEERING
HELLO, I AM THE OWNER OF A 2008 ASPEN. I RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A SAFETY CAR SEAT CHECKPOINT AND WAS RECOMMENDED TO CONTACT YOU BY THE OFFICER CONCERNING THE SEAT BELTS. THEY DON'T LOCK WHEN PULLED ALL THE WAY OUT LIKE OTHER VEHICLES (I.E. NOTABLE RESISTANCE WHEN TRYING TO SECURE A CAR SEAT IN PLACE). I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THIS WHEN SWITCHING CAR SEATS IN A DURANGO THAT MY BROTHER OWNS. I KNOW THE BELTS LOCK UPON BRAKING THE VEHICLE. ALSO, I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT OFF, AND I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL ELECTRICAL CONTROL AFTER TOPPING OFF AT A GAS STATION. WE PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO DID A COMPUTER UPDATE BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ANYTIME WE TOP OFF WITH GAS. AS LONG AS WE DON'T OVERFILL ABOVE THE FIRST CLICK OF THE GAS HANDLE, THE VEHICLE DOESN'T CUT OFF SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE DRIVING. MY HUSBAND HAS VISITED FORUMS ONLINE WHERE THIS HAS BEEN AS ISSUE FOR OTHER OWNERS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD TWO MILES DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT CUT OFF WITH ME AND MY CHILDREN SO WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP. HOWEVER, I FEEL IT IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IMMEDIATELY AND IF I HAD BEEN ON A BUSY ROAD COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND. ONE PREVIOUS OWNER PRIOR. JUST RECENTLY IT STARTED SPITTING GAS BACK DURING FILL UP (CAR IS PARKED, NOT RUNNING). ANYTIME WE FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND IMMEDIATELY GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. VARYING AMOUNTS OF GAS THAT SPITS BACK AT THE PUMP. EVERY TIME, WITH FORCE, HAVING TO ALERT THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS TO FUEL SPILLED ON THE GROUND DUE TO THE SPIT BACK. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE SPIT BACK.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF ROAD STREET OR HIGHWAY AFTER REFUELING, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL TANK & THE ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THAT RAW LIQUID FUEL WAS GOING INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING FAILING. WE HAVE LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE AND\OR CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AS THE ENGINE STOPS WHILE IN MOTION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE TANK DURING A REFUELING. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TIME OF YEAR ALTHOUGH DURING THE WARMER TEMPERATURES IT IS MORE INTENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

AIR BAGS
ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 23, 2016 WE WERE LEAVING OUR HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 6 PM. AS WE PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASH CAME ON. ON OUR WAY HOME LATER THAT NIGHT AND WHILE TRAVELING AT BETWEEN 55 AND 65 MPH WHILE GETTING ON TO I-43 NEAR GREEN BAY, WI. BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED DESPITE THERE BEING NO IMPACT OF ANY KIND. AS DESIGNED, THE VEHICLE THEN SHUTDOWN COMPLETELY, MAKING STEERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. WITH CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE RODE AND COME TO A STOP. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED NO EXTERIOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CLOSEST CHRYSLER DEALER, WHO THEN READ THE CODES WITH THEIR COMPUTER. THE CODES INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD SENSED A "ROLLOVER". OBVIOUSLY, NO "ROLLOVER" HAD OCCURRED. CHRYSLER WOULD NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE THE AIRBAGS OR AIRBAG MODULE BECAUSE THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. CHRYSLER ALSO SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE NO RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THE SPECIFIC AIRBAGS THAT HAD GONE OFF OR FOR THE MODULE. INSURANCE WOULD NOT COVER COST OF AIRBAG REPLACEMENT OR AIRBAG MODULE REPLACEMENT AS IT WAS DEEMED AN "ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTION".

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK INLET PIPE ONTO THE PERSON PUTTING FUEL INTO THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE TOPPING OFF THE TANK. FUEL SPLASHES ONTO PERSON, CLOTHES, HANDS, SHOES, VEHICLE QUARTER PANEL AND PUDDLES ON CONCRETE PAD . I HAVE RECEIVED SKIN IRRITATION FROM THE CONTACT OF THE FUEL ON MY HANDS AND HAVE TO GO IN THE STORE TO WASH MY HANDS OR WASH THEM IN THE DIRTY WATER IN THE WINDSHIELD SCRAPER HOLDER. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT OWN ASPENS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, I SEE WHERE CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN DURANGOS AND ASPENS, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, MY VEHICLE AND MANY MORE WERE EXCLUDED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY CHRYSLER. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE NHTSA MAKES CHRYSLER DO A RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. QUESTION BELOW ASKS, "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN"? IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN MY ASPEN. IT CAN HAVE 1/4 TANK AND I CAN PUT IN 5 GALLONS OF FUEL REAL SLOW AND WHEN I WITHDRAW THE NOZZLE, FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY...

STEERING
THE CLOCK SPRING/STEERING SENSOR HAS GONE OUT ON MY ASPEN. WHAT I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IS IT HAS GONE BAD ON SO MANY ASPEN AND OTHER CHRYSLER CARS USING THIS PART THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND MAY TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS TO GET ONE... THIS PART HAS CAUSED MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE, SKID CONTROL AND MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE TO NO LONGER WORK
