FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHEN FILLING THE TANK, THE PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND GAS WILL COME SQUIRTING OUT OF TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MANY DIFFERENT PUMPS AND DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO HAVE GAS SPILLING OUT. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. ANY SERVICE ON GAS TANK WOULD BE CUSTOMERS COST. NOT COVERED IN WARRANTY. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THREE TIMES NOW CAR HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED FOLLOWING FULL REFUELING OF TANK... WE DID RESEARCH ON LINE... IS THIS SIMILAR TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE13016? DEALER "KNEW" WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, FIXED IT AT OUR COST BUT SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE ASPEN LIKE THE 300. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I PUT FUEL IN MY VEHICLE IT STALLS WITHIN 5 MINUTES. IT DOES IT ONCE AND THEN DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN UNTIL I FILL UP THE NEXT TIME. IF I FILL IT BEFORE IT GETS BELOW A HALF TANK IT DOESN'T SEEM TO DO IT. THE PROBLEM IS I DON'T ALWAYS REMEMBER TO DO THAT AND I AM WORRIED THAT THE NEXT TIME IT STALLS I WILL BE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAVE SEEN WHERE OTHER CHRYSLERS WITH V8 HEMI ENGINES ARE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT. THE SAME PROBLEM SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE SAME EXTENDED WARRANTY! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I SAW WHERE SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAS COMPLAINTS ABOUT WHEN YOU FILL UP WITH GAS AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS IT SPRAYS GAS OUT, I HAVE HAD MY ASPEN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND IT DOES THE SAME THING, I THINK THAT IS A DEFECT THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR GAS TO SPRAY OUT EVERYWHERE AND IT IS NOT JUST ONE ASPEN THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, IT IS SEVERAL. *TR

ALSO MORE RECENTLY WHEN DRIVING MY BLINKER LIGHT AND SOUND DID NOT APPEAR WHEN TURNING MY BLINKER ON, AS WELL AS MY RADIO HAS CEASED UP IT WON'T ALLOW ME TO CHANGE THE STATION OR DO ANYTHING WITH IT.

POWER TRAIN
REAR PINION NUT BACKED OFF CAUSING LOST OF FLUID FROM THE DIFFERENTIAL TO LEAKED OUT. TALKED TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THIS MODEL WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST EVEN THOUGH THE DESCRIPTION FITS TO THE LETTER ON WHAT HAS HAPPEN ON THOSE COVERED ON THE RECALL. HAD TO GET REPAIRS DONE AT PEP BOYS SINCE NO DEALERSHIPS ARE OPEN ON SUNDAY OR SATURDAY AFTERNOON. REPLACED PINION SEAL AND ADD FLUID TO DIFFERENTIAL, TORQUE NUT. IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN AFTER 50,000 MILES OR OTHER PEOPLE. *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, POWER TRAIN
THE 4WD STARTED TO ENGAGE WITHOUT BEING SWITCHED AND WITH NO INDICATION ON THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL. VEHICLE GOES INTO 4X4 ON ITS OWN. WHEN WE MAKE A SHARP TURN GOING FORWARD OR BACKING...THE REAR TIRES LOCK UP. THE SVC 4 WHEEL DRIVE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF SPORADICALLY. I CAN ALSO HEAR IT SWITCH BACK AND FORTH UNDER THE CAR EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF. PERIODICALLY WHEN YOU SWITCH THE DIAL OVER TO 4LO OR 4X4 LOCK THE SVC 4WD LIGHT JUST FLICKERS OFF AND ON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FUELING THIS VEHICLE IT PHYSICALLY SPRAYS APPROXIMATELY 8 OUNCES OF FUEL OUT OF THE FUEL RECEPTACLE WHEN THE FUELING NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. I HAVE FOUND NO WAY TO STOP IT,OR CONTROL THE AMOUNT OR DIRECTION. ANYTHING OR ANYONE NEAR IT WILL GET SPRAYED. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER MUST ADDRESS! WE JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE 1/31/2014 SO THAT IS THE REASON FOR THE LATE FILING OF THIS REPORT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I WAS REFILLING THE GAS TANK AT A GAS STATION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE GAS HOSE "CLICKED OFF" (WHEN THE TANK WAS FULL), A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS GUSHED OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK PAST THE HOSE NOZZLE, BACK-FLOWING FROM THE FUEL TANK. I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF THE FUEL FILLER OPENING, HOLDING THE HOSE NOZZLE HANDLE, AND WAS SPLASHED WITH GAS. IN MY ESTIMATION THE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE SPILLED DIRECTLY ON ME WAS AT LEAST ONE-HALF OF A GALLON. THE FRONT OF MY PANTS WERE ENTIRELY SOAKED, MY GLOVES AND THE LOWER THIRD OF MY COAT WERE ALSO SPLASHED. I CHANGED MY CLOTHES AS SOON AS PRACTICAL, FORTUNATELY, I WAS NOT INJURED (THOUGH HAVING THE SKIN OF MY LEGS AND RIGHT HAND TEMPORARILY SOAKED WITH GASOLINE, IT'S HARD TO BE CERTAIN). I CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT (NUMBER 14-001-12). IN MY OPINION THE DECISION TO ALLOW THIS ISSUE TO BE ADDRESSED WITH A TSB RATHER THAN A SAFETY RECALL WAS A PROFOUND ERROR IN JUDGMENT. UPDATED 02/27/14*LJ

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THIS DATE AND AT LEAST A FEW OTHERS OUR ASPEN UNINTENTIONALLY ACCELERATED. IT USUALLY ACCELERATES FROM A DEAD STOP AFTER THE SUV IS SHIFTED INTO DRIVE WITH FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WILL ALSO OCCASIONALLY ACCELERATE WHEN SLOWING DOWN BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO SOLUTIONS SINCE SERVICE MANAGERS HAVE HAD NO PREVIOUS EXPERIENCES WITH THIS PROBLEM. SO THEY SAY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:HATCHBACK/LIFTGATE
MY LIFT GATE ON MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN STRUCK ME IN MY HEAD AS I WAS STANDING UNDER MY GATE TO PUT SOMETHING IN MY TRUNK OF MY VEHICLE WHICH GAVE ME A SERIOUS CONCUSSION. I FEEL AS THOUGH THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE SPEED OF WHICH THE GATE HIT ME IN THE HEAD. CHRYSLER DID NOT PAY FOR THIS DEFECT IN WHICH THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE REPAIRED AFTER THEY SENT A ADJUSTER FROM DETROIT MI. TO INSPECT MY VEHICLE THAT WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE. THANKYOU *TR
