THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT STEERING KNUCKLE ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE, INCLUDING SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL.

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING I ROLLED THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CHECK IF IT WAS MY TRUCK, SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND SAW MY BACK SEAT BURNING. HAD TO PUT WATER AND LEAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN FOR A COUPLE DAYS, IT'S SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT MY SON USUALLY SITS THERE AND COULD OF GOTTEN BURNED. I GOT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND I DRIVE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES EVERY DAY. *TR
THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANY BUMPS ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD SURFACE WILL RESULT IN A SUDDEN SHIFT OF DIRECTION, OR "JUMPING" OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN POSSIBLY SEND THE DRIVER INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. AS AN OWNER OF SEVERAL OTHER FCA VEHICLES (INCLUDING, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND A JEEP COMMANDER) I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING THAT NHTSA HAS NOT INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL OF THE CHRYSLER FORUMS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE FRONT END "JUMP" AND HAVE THE DRIVER SUDDENLY GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN INTENDED, THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY CONCERN. BUT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER BY FCA OR BY NHTSA, THIS MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF AN ATTORNEY AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE THIS GETS RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A SMALL MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR
RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOW NEARLY 16 MONTHS INTO NOTIFICATION WITH NO RESOLVE. I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE ADDRESS.

THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SAFETY RISK: AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS, COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S).

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO ABERDEEN AUTO CENTER IN ABERDEEN, SD, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY REGISTERED IN CANADA. WHAT DO I DO?
WHEN USING THE LEFT BLINKER THE RIGHT BLINKER WILL INTERMITTENTLY START BLINKING. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED.
THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. CHRYSLER DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ANYTHING INVOLVING THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE.
TAKATA RECALL HAVE WAITED FOR A YEAR FOR PARTS TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE DRIVERS AIRBAG. DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY MIGHT GET THEM
