2007 Chrysler Aspen 4X2

ON MAY 1ST 2017 I WAS ON THE MARKET FOR A DEPENDABLE VEHICLE FOR MY CHILDREN AND I. MY BOYFRIEND SUGGESTED AUTO DEALS LLC. ON 12838 SAN PEDRO IN SAN ANTONIO, WHERE HIS COUSIN RICHARD MCKINNEY IS A SALESMAN. MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARRIVED AT 1:30 PM AND STAYED TILL 6PM THAT SAME DAY FILLING OUT PAPERWORK AND LOOKING AT VEHICLES. RICHARD'S COWORKER DOUG ASSISTED US ON THIS FIRST DAY. WE DECIDED TO GO HOME AND SLEEP ON IT AND SEE THE NEW SHIPMENT THE NEXT DAY AS I WAS UNSATISFIED WITH THE CURRENT OPTIONS. AS WE DECIDED TO LEAVE THE SUPERVISOR ALEX SINNO SAID "COME BACK TOMORROW AND I WILL GIVE YOU A YEAR WARRANTY". WHEN WE RETURNED THE NEXT MORNING WITH THE $700 WE WERE TOLD WE NEEDED TO DRIVE OFF THE LOT, WE WERE THEN TOLD THAT THE BOSS WAS ASKING FOR $1000 DOWN PLUS INSURANCE THAT THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF IN HOUSE ON AN IOU THAT WE WERE TO PAYBACK THAT FRIDAY. FEELING UNEASY BUT STILL DESPERATE WE SCRAPED TOGETHER THE EXTRA $300 PLUS INDEBTED OURSELVES FOR THE IN HOUSE INSURANCE. SHORTLY AFTER WE DROVE OFF THE LOT ON THE WAY HOME ON MAY 2ND 2017 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNS ON AND I NOTICE THAT IT IS OUT OF GAS AS WELL. AFTER FUELING UP, I DRIVE OVER TO OUR FAMILY MECHANIC. HE INFORMS ME OF A MULTITUDE OF ISSUES INCLUDING THE RADIATOR BEING BONE DRY, AND GASKETS NEEDING REPLACEMENTS. I ALSO NOTICE I CANNOT LOCK MY DOORS AND SEE THAT THERE ARE OVER 20 FUSES MISSING. WE MANAGE TO MAKE IT HOME BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP IS CLOSED AT THIS POINT SO WE CALL IN THE MORNING. FOR A WHOLE WEEK WE CALL REPEATEDLY DAILY BUT NEVER MAKE IT PAST THE RECEPTIONIST AND NEVER RECEIVE A CALL BACK. DURING THE WEEK I TAKE IT TO A NEARBY ADVANCE AUTO AND AUTO ZONE, WHERE THE VEHICLE IS PUT ON THE COMPUTER. I ENDED UP BUYING COOLANT AND AN IGNITION COIL, AS WELL AS RECEIVED COPIES OF RECEIPTS AND DIAGNOSTICS ON THEIR MACHINES.ON MAY 5TH WE ALSO PAYED BACK THE I.

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER AIRBAG.. THIS RECALL NOTICE WAS PUBLISHED IN JULY 2016, IT HAS NOT BEEN COMPLIED WITH AND NO SOLUTION IS FORTHCOMING IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE PURCHASED BY CHRYSLER SO MY FAMILY IS NOT SUBJECT TO INJURY OR DEATH IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER WAS REQUIRED TO DO SO ON CERTAIN PRODUCTION RUNS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE BECAUSE OF FAULTY SUSPENSION PARTS. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEM BUT, FOR SOME REASON, WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE REPURCHASE.

ASPEN HAS ONLY 16000 MILES AND HAS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF BURPING FUEL OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FILLING UP AT WHAT EVER PRESSURE ONE HOLDS THE NOZZLE. EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED IT DUMPS OUT 1 TO 2 GALLONS OF FULL ON MYSELF AND THE BODY OF THE CAR AS WELL AS ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUE YET A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER THEM SELVES ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. TSB 14-001-12 CLASSIFYING IT AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN. ACKNOWLEDGING THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEING A STUCK FLAPPER IN THE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER IS NOT WANTING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC RECALL NOTED AND THAT THE TSB BULLETIN IS FOR THERE OWN TECHS AND NOT FOR CUSTOMER AWARENESS. EVERY TIME I OR MY WIFE FILL THE TANK IN THE ASPEN WHILE TRAVELING OR LOCALLY I GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FUEL BACK SPRAYED AND SPEWED ON ME AND MY CLOTHS REQUIRING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM ANY SPARKS, FIRE OR IGNITIONS OF ANY SORT TILL I REMOVE MY CLOTHING AND THEN SHOWER OFF THE GASOLINE. I COULD REALLY USE HELP IN GETTING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE RESOLVE FOR AND MY WIFE. I HAVE ON HAND LETTERS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLEARLY STATING THAT THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY OF.

A " SNAPPING " OR " POPPING " NOISE DEVELOPED IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHEN GOING AROUND A CORNER AT ~ 30 MPH. IT WAS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN GOING OVER SMALL TO MODERATE BUMPS. BOTH THE CHRYSLER DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE SAID IT NEEDED NEW UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS. I HAD THEM REPLACED AND THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. NO ONE CAN FIND THE SOURCE OF THIS NOISE. I AM CONCERNED THERE IS A MAJOR DEFECT AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT. THE 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN WAS RECENTLY PUT ON A BUYBACK LIST FOR SUSPENSION TROUBLES. BOTH THE 2007 AND 2008 ASPENS ARE THE SAME AS THE 2009. I AM CURIOUS AS TO WHY THE 2008 AND 2007 WEREN'T INCLUDED ON THIS LIST.
