2007 Chrysler Aspen 4X2 Problems

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.

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

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X2. AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE AND EXITING THE LOT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING.

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.

EXHIBITING TYPICAL PROBLEMS RELATED TO TIPM FAILURE. HAS NEVER STALLED ON ME WHILE IN MOTION, BUT WILL DISPLAY "NO BUS" & GAGE NEEDLES SHOOT UP & DOWN. CAR WON'T START.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WHEN THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL AND AXEL TO COME OFF, WENT LEFT INSTANTLY AND INTO A 18 INCH DITCH, AND BROKE HER HAND. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE VERY NEXT DAY, THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND SENT A MAN OUT TO TAKE PICTURES, HE DOWN PLAYED THE WHOLE THING LIKE THIS WAS NORMAL. LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SAYING IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER. I HAVE TAKEN THE BROKEN PART TO AT LEAST 10 PLACES THAT KNOWS ABOUT FRONT ENDS ALSO METAL AND WELDING SHOPS BODY SHOPS. WITHIN 10 SECONDS THEY ALL SAID IT IS A DEFECT. YOU CAN SEE VERY PLAINLY WHERE IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR AWHILE, OLD AND RUSTED, AND THEN THE NEW BREAK. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED , JUST BROKE OFF. CHRYSLER WILL NOT E-MAIL ME OR TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE. MY SUV WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID ME BACK. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND PICTURES. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE A PERSON OR FAMILY GOT KILLED. IF THIS HAD BROKE OFF AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED MY FAMILY WOULD OF GOT KILLED, SHE JUST PULLED ON TO A COUNTY ROAD AND ABOUT A 1000 FT. IT SNAPPED OFF. NO LAWYERS WILL TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN JUST A BROKEN HAND. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO. OR WANT PICTURES LET ME KNOW. EVEN AFTER I HAVE MY MONEY I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY AND WHEN I SEE ASPENS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE A CHANCE I WILL STOP AND SHOW THEM THE PART AND WARN THEM THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO GET IT CHECKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I OWNED A NEW 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT -HEATING ELEMENT MALFUNCTIONED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. REPORTED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED, IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. I STRONGLY DISAGREE. FIRE DEPARTMENT (CHIEF ARSON INVESTIGATOR) CLEARLY STATES IN HIS REPORT THAT IT WAS A FACTORY ISSUE AND VERY CLEARLY FIRE STARTED (WHILE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6-7 HOURS) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IGNITED CATCHING THE VEHICLE ON FIRE. *TR

ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GARAGE, IMPACTED MY STEEL WORKBENCH/TOOL CONTAINER, WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL AND THE FRONT END IMPACTED THE GROUND SEVEN FEET BELOW THE GARAGE DROPOFF AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REMOVED THE KEY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS WITNESSED THE EVENT AS THE VEHICLE DROVE OUT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT FT BELVOIR AMC. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN THE AC COMPRESSOR, FLICKERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL LIGHT, LOSS OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN 'R' IT WOULD FALL OUT OF GEAR. ALL WERE REPORTED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AT CHRYSLER DEALERS IN CA, MS AND VA. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER LATE NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED A LETTER BACK ON 17 DECEMBER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLAIMS RESOLUTION GROUP STATING THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER HAD VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2007 THAT HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND THE ACCELERATORS WERE MADE BY THE SAME SUPPLIER THAT MADE THE TOYOTA ONES. HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/06/04/CHRYSLER-IS-RECALLING-CALIBER-AND-COMPASS-FOR-ACCELERATOR-PEDAL-PROBLEM/ I AM PREPARED TO DISCUSS FURTHER ANY QUESTIONS CHRYSLER LEADERSHIP MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION AND WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT.

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.
