FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THERE IS A SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF OUR ASPEN. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND ONE FOR THE ASPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING. THIS IS AN ONGOING INCIDENT THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME WE REFILL THE VEHICLE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS, ONCE THE PUMP STOPS AND THE TANK IS FULL ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS COMES BACK UP AND OUT OF THE FILL HOLE. SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THIS APPEARS TO BE A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THESE. THEY DID A RECALL ON THE JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND AT FIRST FUEL FILL-UP GAS SPEWED OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILL-UP. I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND I WAS HOLDING GAS LEVER MYSELF. AS IT SHUT OFF, A TON OF FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

ENGINE
WE WERE DRIVING AND WE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, GOOD THING WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE WHEN THE CLICKING GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WHEN WE GOT TO DEALER WE TOLD THEM THAT WE HEARD WEIRD NOISES COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. IT CAME OUT BEING THAT 2 STUDS FROM REAR OF ENGINE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF. THEY SAID IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE 2 STUDS BROKEN THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE MIGHT FAIL AND U COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE VALVES COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE IF DRIVEN WITH EXHAUST LEAK OR ANOTHER SCENARIO IS THAT THE EXHAUST LEAKED COULD CAUSE A FIRE . I WENT ONLINE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECORDED THAT THE STUDS HAVE BROKEN AND ITS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH DODGE RAMS, DODGE DURANGOS, AND CHRYSLER ASPENS. THEY SAID THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE STUDS. WERE GONNA SPEND 450 FOR 2 BROKEN STUDS. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE NO DAMAGE IN THE VALVES. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER DO A RECALL ON THERE ENGINE SO THEY CAN FIX THE STUD PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK U *TR

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WAS IN "PARK" AT A GASOLINE STATION. THE CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHILE I WAS FILLING THE TANK. I TRIED TO JUMP IN THE CAR AS IT WAS ROLLING AND WAS DRUG ALONG THE CEMENT.THE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY STOPPED WHEN THE DOOR HIT A CEMENT POLE. THIS RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY $2200 IN DAMAGES TO THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND QUITE A FEW CUTS, SCRAPES AND BRUISES ON MY BODY. THE CAR HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE (USUALLY WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE) AND HAD BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER, BUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DO IT WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE KEY ALSO WOULD STICK WHEN STARTING THE CAR LEAVING IT TO REV WHILE I TRIED TO GET THE KEY OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIRMAN THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, BUT UNTIL THEY FOUND A FIX THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THESE SAME ISSUES, BUT THE ASPEN HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER BRAND BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE DATE BUT OUR VEHICLE FIRST SPEWED GAS FROM THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK SOMETIME IN EARLY 2012. THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONE OR TWO TIMES BEFORE WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL FILL LINE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIR AS SOON AS THE PART WAS AVAILABLE LATE IN 2012. A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERFLOW EVERY TIME THAT IT WAS FILLED TO ANYWHERE NEAR CAPACITY. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT A NEW FUEL TANK IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT WAS ISSUED WITH THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD SINCE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF FUEL OVERFLOW ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH FUEL. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, THIS ALSO PRESENTS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD DUE TO THE FUEL LEAKAGE ONTO THE GROUND. *TR

TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS
MY COMPLIANT IS SPECIFIC TO THE TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INSTALLED BY CHRYSLER. WHEN TRYING TO FILL MY TIRES THE THREADS ON THE TPMS SENSOR SEPARATED FROM THE STEM LEAVING ME UNABLE TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR. IN SPEAKING WITH THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP THEY INDICATED THE CHRYSLER SENSORS USE A WHITE METAL THREAD SECTION WHICH COMMONLY FAILS IN COLD CLIMATES. THE SEPARATION OF THE THREADS LED TO ADDITIONAL PRESSURE LOSS AND COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE BLEW OUT! IT IS ROUTED TO CLOSE TO A PULLY. I REPLACED IT WITH A MARINE GRADE HOSE FROM HOME DEPOT JUST TO GET HOME SAFELY. I THEN BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, "THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH NO PROBLEM LIKE THIS. BAD LUCK FOR YOU I GUESS" . *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AFTER I AM FINISHED FUELING. THIS CAUSES GASOLINE TO SPLASH BACK ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOW OR HOW FAST I FILL THE TANK. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED FILLING AND IS TURNED OFF AND REMOVING THE NOZZLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF, OR IF YOU SHUT OF THE FUEL PUMP. *TR
