FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When fueling the vehicle as soon as the pump pops off indicating your tank is filled gass will sphew/ or spray back out of the vehicle and onto the person fueling, the side of the vehicle and the ground. This happens every single time no matter what fuel station you use,regardless of the time of day or temperature outside. After looking online I can see there have been numerous reports of this from other 2007 Chrysler Aspen owners going back several years; however, I have not been able to locate anything indicating this is a recall and my vin number indicates all recalls have been addressed on this vehicle. Is there a solution for this issue, is it being repaired by Chrysler or what is being done? Please let me know, as this is a safety issue for anyone fueling up , anyone in the vehicle or around the vehicle. I noticed it asks for an approximate date of when this occured, there has been several dates so I will provide the date of the most recent issue.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When filling the gas tank up using the "fill lock" feature on nearly all modern fuel pump nozzles, when the tank gets full the fill nozzle clicks off and about a half a pint of raw fuel is "purged" back out of the tank filler neck. At first I thought this was a problem at a specific fuel station. I have since learned that it can do it anywhere, at any time of day, and at any temperature.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
My 07 Chrysler aspen has a huge fuel problem and as I have read it’s happening to a lot of people! When I fill my car up with fuel no matter what store I am at the gas starts spewing back out of the tank. I do not over fill my car the moment the gas pump clicks that it’s done, a lot of gas starts spewing out onto the ground! I believe this is a potential hazardous ⚠️ situation for all involved especially my family! For one I am stressed out about if there were to be an accidental rollover the gas would go everywhere, and 2 when it pours out onto the ground or could even splash out onto my skin I could end up with chemical burns or the bio hazard issue we are having with the gas just being powered onto the ground without me being able to control it! Chrysler doesn’t seem to think this is a problem or that it’s hazardous! But when people go to have the problem fixed they are telling everyone it’s a faulty gas tank and you have to replace the entire tank!! Please help us get our cars fixed for something that Chrysler messed up on they should be responsible for the repairs!!

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
SUSPENSION: EVERY TIME YOU HIT A BUMP OR POT HOLE THE VEHICLE THROWS YOU ACROSS THE LANE. FUEL TANK: EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE GAS TANK UP AND WHEN THE PUMP CLICKS OFF THE GAS SPITS OUT OF THE TANK AND LANDS ALL OVER YOU AND THE VEHICLE. ELECTRICAL: THE DASHBOARD WILL LIGHT UP WITH THE OIL SYMBOL FLASHING ON AND OFF. AIR CONDITIONING: THE COMPRESSOR BLOWS HOT AIR AND NOW THE ENGINE SPEEDS UP LIKE IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE.

ENGINE
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING IT TO LOSE BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK SO IT CANT BE CHANGED. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE CHANGED AND THE FUEL TANK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A TICKING TIME BOMB BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE STEERING JERKS AND CAR SHIFTS WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR I WOULD DODGE THE HOLE. VERY SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED AND THEN TELL US THERE'S NO PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOUR DRIVING OVER 40 MPH AND WHEN YOUR DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED ONE DAY. THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC DAY, SINCE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND HIT A HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW AND ALWAYS HAD THE PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING, WE HAVE INSTALLED 3 COMPRESSES, DRYERS IT WILL NOT COOL THIS LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP 8 DAYS. THEY MUST HAVE INSTALLED AND REMOVED EVERY PART THAT WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO COOL, STILL BLOWS HOT AIR AND IT'S ALREADY 95+ DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS ASPEN AND IT USE TO BE A GREAT CAR, BUT ONCE THEY BREAK YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY SOMETHING NEW. IT'S NO WONDER THEY ONLY MAKE THE ASPEN 3 YEARS. WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE EVER.

SUSPENSION
IN THE LAST YEAR I NOTICED THE CAR IS GETTING MORE BOUNCY. WHEN DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS, IF I HIT A POCK HOLE OR BUMP IT SHIFTS THE CAR OVER AND IT IS WORSE ON THE FREEWAY. GOING OVER THE BUMPS BOUNCES THE CAR UP AND OVER!! THIS IS NOT SAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY OR ANY ROAD, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE CAR TO SHIFT INTO THE NEXT LANE. MY SON IN-LAW EVEN NOTICED THIS WHEN HE DROVE IT!! THE SUSPENSION FEELS TOO LOOSE!! WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS? THIS IS NOT SAFE!! THERE IS NOTHING IN THE CAR MANUAL!!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK ... THE VEHICLE WILL STUTTER / SHAKE WHEN AT IDLE OR DIE COMPLETELY AT IDLE LIKE AT A STOP SIGN OR DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW. IT WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 25-40 MILES IT STOPS HAPPENING. WE HAVE PAID FOR TOTAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, WE HAVE ALSO PAID $1300 TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN FIND FIXED. THIS DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM AT ALL AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SUV. THIS IS THE CAR OUR SON DRIVES AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. WE ARE NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NOW EMPTIED OUR SAVINGS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SERVICED, INSPECTED AND REPAIRED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES. DEALER WANTS ME TO SPEND MONEY ON PARTS AND ARE ONLY GUESSING THAT THOSE PARTS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT ONCE HAVE THEY CHECKED THE WIRING. THE ENGAGEMENT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY (UNLOCKING THE CAR). SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE LIGHTS COME ONE WHEN DRIVING HIGH SPEED BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS TURN ON: 4WHEEL SERVICE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY. I FEEL IT IS A WIRING PROBLEM.
