FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND DIES AFTER REFUELING. AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO STAY RUNNING. IT WILL RUN LONG ENOUGH TO PULL OUT, OR ATTEMPT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN WILL DIE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. MY MECHANIC HAS DETERMINED IT TO BE A CHECK VALVE IN BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER THAT FAILS AND ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EMISSION SYSTEM. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DIE. ONE WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX, BUT THE CHECK VALVE IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH THE $807 FUEL TANK. THIS ISSUE IS SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK WHICH COULD LEAVE TO INJURIES AND OR DEATH.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE BOUGHT THE CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH THE HEMI ENGINE NEW IN 2007. THE FOLLOWING YEAR THE PROBLEM BEGAN TO REAR ITS UGLY HEAD. CONSTANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS DUE TO WATER INTRUSION FROM THE SUN ROOF DUE TO POOR DRAINAGE. TRUCK WAS SERVICED NUMEROUS TIMES BY CHRYSLER WITH NO POSITIVE RESULTS. TRUCK IS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE ALL DASH BOARD LIGHTS WILL GO ON WHEN IT'S RAINING OR AFTER ITS RAINED WHICH CAUSES A DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, CITY STREETS AND ALSO WHILE THE TRUCK IS STATIONARY. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CHRYSLER HAS MADE NO EFFECTIVE ENGINEERING REMEDY. THEY EVEN BLAME THE ENVIRONMENT I.E.TREES FOR CAUSING THE PROBLEM AS REFUSAL TO HONOR THEIR WARRANTY. WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK WITH A LIFETIME WARRANTY AND THE TRUCK WAS SERVICED IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE SYSTEMIC PROBLEM. IT IS CHRYSLER'S POSITION THAT THE ENVIRONMENT IS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM NOT THE ENGINEERING OF THE TRUCK. THEIR ARE MILLIONS OF CARS AND TRUCKS WITH SUNROOFS THAT ARE LEFT OUTSIDE THAT DON;T HAVE LEAKS OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF POOR DRAINAGE. WE HAVE 32 PAGES OF INVOICES FROM THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT, THE VAST MAJORITY ARE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. WHEN WE CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. AND FINALLY SPOKE TO SOMEONE TODAY 6/24/16, WE WERE TOLD ITS THE ENVIRONMENT WE CAN'T SPEAK TO ANYONE HIGHER THEN HER, CASE CLOSED, LIFE TIME WARRANTY VOIDED FOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

CHRYSLER 2007 ASPEN WITH HEMI ENGINE. WATER INTRUSION CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO GET WET. DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THE VEHICLE, WATER DOES NOT DRAIN PROPERLY AND IS SOAKING THE SIDE AIRBAG PANEL AND ALSO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL IN THE TRUCK CAUSING THE CONTROL WARNING PANEL TO COMPLETELY LIGHT UP. THIS IS CAUSING THE SIDE AIRBAGS TO BE COMPROMISED AND POSSIBLY THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. THE DRAINAGE PROBLEM WAS BROUGHT TO CHRYSLER'S ATTENTION NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY DID NOT FIND A CORRECTIVE SOLUTION.

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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I'M HAVING SEVERAL ISSUES. FIRST, I CANT FILL MY GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY, IF I DO MY TRUCK WILL SHUT OFF AT ANY GIVEN TIME. ALSO MY DASH BOARD LIGHTS DON'T WORK. I WAS TOLD THE BULB IS SAUTERED TO THE DASH AND THE WHOLE DASH HAS TO BE REPLACED, THAT'S $1300! CURRENTLY, MY MAJOR ISSUE IS, MY TRUCK NOT STARTING!!! I HAVE REPLACED, THE STARTER, THE BATTERY, THE BATTERY CABLES, AND RECENTLY THE ALTERNATOR! I OFTEN NEED TO GET A JUMP AND IT USUALLY TURNS OVER AND WILL RUN FOR A DAY OR TWO BEFORE NEEDING A JUMP AGAIN! I HAVE READ REVIEWS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE, AND SOO MANY OF US ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD DO A RECALL CONCERNING THIS MATTER AND KEEP A GOOD QUALITY STANDARD RATING WITH THE PEOPLE THAT TRUST IN THEIR NAME!
