FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4WD LTD. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: GAS OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK DURING A FILL-UP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY 2011 WHILE FILLUP THE TANK AFTERWORK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE @ THE PUMP I WAS USING OR THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG @ THE PUMP)LIKE FORCING A FUEL TOP-OFF); BUT APPROX 1 WK LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT @ A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNKNOWN AFFECTS OF DIRECT CONTACT ON THE SKIN & THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING BURNT. ON 2/15/11, I WAS FILLING UP GAS @ THE HESS STATION & A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WAS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK GETTING ALL OVER MY HAND, AND JACKET SLEEVE, THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (3/13/11). AFTER YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT I DECIDED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET & LEARNED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHRYSLER ASPEN / DODGE DURANGO OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TOMORROW (3/15/11) NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS OUT AT EVERY FILL UP, UNLESS I STOP THE NOZZLE IN TIME. IT SHOOTS ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS BACK AT ME. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $800 FOR A NEW TANK. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3-4 MONTHS STARTING AROUND NOVEMBER. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND THE GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHEN FILLING UP. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING NOW FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. I HAVE TO STOP FILLING THE TANK MANUALLY BEFORE IT FILLS UP TO AVOID THE OVERFLOW. I CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED THE ENTIRE GAS TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED TO FIX IT. THE COST OF THAT REPAIR IS ALMOST $600 (NOT CHEAP). I HAVE READ OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THE ASPEN AS WELL. AND I UNDERSTAND THAT DODGE HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT THE FIX IS COST PROHIBITIVE. WE ARE BEYOND THE STANDARD WARRANTY PERIOD OF 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR THE TANK TO START OVERFLOWING OTHER THAN A DESIGN DEFECT OF SOME SORT WITH THE GAS TANK. I HAVE NEVER IN MY LIFE HAD A VEHICLE THAT OVERFLOWS LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS FROM THE TANK. THE OVERFLOW IS NOT FROM THE GAS PUMP ITSELF, AS THAT SHUTS OFF APPROPRIATELY. IT IS AS IF THE GAS BUILDS UP IN THE TANK AND THEN SPITS IT OUT. *TR

SEAT BELTS
DRIVER'S SEAT BELT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO UNFASTEN AND IS GETTING WORSE. THIS IS THE FIRST OCCURRENCE WITH THIS SEAT BELT, BUT THE RIGHT SECOND ROW SEAT BELT HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT THE DRIVER MAY BECOME TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.

AFTER IT DOES SHUT OFF A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS EXPLODES OUT OF THE GAS TANK COVERING THE GROUND, COVERING ME AND MY CLOTHES ETC. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
UPON FILLING FUEL TANK, AFTER THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, FUEL PURGES BACK THROUGH THE FILL NECK COVERING EVERYTHING IN THE SURROUNDING AREA, CAUSING A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS CONDITION. IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH OF AN IMAGINATION TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WAS NEARBY. GAS STATIONS ARE INHERENTLY DANGEROUS, BUT THIS CONDITION JUST ADDS TO THAT DANGER! WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF WINTER HERE IN THE NE, SO THE SPILLED FUEL DOESN'T SEEM ALL THAT BAD, BUT DURING THE SUMMER IN 95 DEGREES, SCARY! ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY BURNED OR EVEN KILLED! I HAVE BEEN IN THE FIRE SERVICE FOR OVER 35 YEARS, HAVE SEEN MANY DIFFERENT TYPES OF FIRES AND THIS IS DEFINITELY A CONDITION THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED ASAP. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE VEHICLE WILL PROBABLY NEED A FUEL TANK DUE TO A POSSIBLE DEFECT IN THE ROLLOVER VALVE LOCATED ON TOP OF THE TANK. ONE MORE THOUGHT ON THIS PROBLEM. WITH THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM IN PLACE AT STATIONS HERE IN THE NY METRO AREA, MAYBE THE EPA SHOULD ALSO BE INVOLVED, BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT I HAVE SPILLED ON THE GROUND IS PROBABLY CRIMINAL. KIND OF DEFEATS THE VAPORS THAT WERE RECOVERED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN REFUELING, UPON AUTO SHUT OFF OF FUEL NOZZLE APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GASOLINE WILL BLOW OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE, AS IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT FUEL SUPPLIERS . THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR IF FILLING IS STOPPED SHORT OF A FULL TANK. FUEL USUALLY SPLASHES ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND HAS GOTTEN ON MY SLEEVE IF MY HAND IS ON THE NOZZLE. SPLASHING OF FUEL IS DANGEROUS, IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE ALSO. UPDATED IVOQ 02/24/11 *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PURCHASED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AT A LOCAL DEALER IN JAN , HAVE HAD VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND NOW IN SHOP DUE TO GASOLINE SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING TANK. ALL 3 TIMES FILLED THE TANK GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR A GAS TANK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ,I PURCHASED OVER $3000 OF WARRANTIES AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND TOP TO BOTTOM AND NOW I AM INFORMED THE TANK IS NOT COVERED . THE TANKS WILL COST ME $800.00 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT WAS A DEFAULT . IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR A TRADE. I WAS TOLD I COULD IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TANK , I COULD CONSIDER NEVER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, YEAH RIGHT! I HAVE NOT HAD TO MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL FEB 22,2011. I REALLY THINK I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DIRTY DEAL. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY.

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 7-10 OZ SHOOTS OUT AFTER EVERY FILL UP. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, I AM JUST ALLOWING IT TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY. GAS SHOOTS OUT OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON MANY CHRYSLER ASPENS ACCORDING TO A INTERNET SEARCH. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR RECALL ON THEIR DURANGO MODEL. *TR
