2007 Chrysler Aspen 4X4 Electrical Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the electrical system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Electrical reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Fire reported
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

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.

DASH IS STILL ILLUMINATED, RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND CAN'T LOCK DOORS WITH THE CAR TURN TO OFF POSITION AND KEY OUT OF IGNITION. CAR DOOR CONTINUES DINGING NOISE AS IF KEY IS IN POSITION. DRAINS THE BATTERY. WHEN YOU GIVE THE BATTERY A CHARGE THE CAR WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE BATTERY IS TOO WEAK. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. CHRYSLER DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. THEY STATE THE ASPEN IS KNOWN TO HAVE DRAIN BATTERIES QUICKLY. YOU CAN DRIVE OVER A SMALL BUMP OR POT HOLE AND CAR WILL JUMP ACROSS THE ROAD. PLACED BRAND NEW TIRES AND CAR IS ALIGNED PERFECTLY BUT STILL MAKES THE CAR JUMP. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL MOVE TO ANOTHER PERSON'S DRIVING LANE ON DUAL HIGHWAY WHEN HITTING A BUMP. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE AND SCARES MY FAMILY. ONE DAY, IF WE HIT A BUMP, I MIGHT SIDE SWIPE/CRASH INTO A PASSING CAR OR ROLLOVER OFF THE ROAD.

TURN SIGNALS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACTIVATED. RIGHT SIGNAL SEEMS TO WORK OKAY WHEN ACTIVATED BUT RIGHT SIGNAL LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WHEN STALK IS PUSHED DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN. TRYING TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN CAN ALSO RESULT IN NO SIGNAL LIGHT AT ALL. THIS CAN CONFUSE OTHER DRIVERS AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES ON LANE CHANGES AND AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN TURNING LEFT. SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY COLD TEMPERATURES AND AT THE PRESENT TIME GOES AWAY AFTER CAR IS WARMED FOR 15-20 MINUTES. CHRYSLER FORUMS HAVE INDICATED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM ON ASPENS. NO RECALLS ISSUED YET. *TR

MY TURN SIGNALS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN .WHEN I HIT IT TO LEFT, MANY TIMES IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START BLINKING RIGHT. MANY TIMES WHEN IT IS BLINKING LEFT, IT WILL CHANGE AND JUST START BLINKING RIGHT WITH NO TOUCHING ANYTHING. MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE IT BLINKING LEFT OR RIGHT, IT WILL STOP BLINKING AND NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I WOULD SAY 80% OR MORE OF THE TIMES IT DOES ONE OF THESE 3 THINGS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REVERSE ALERT SENSOR ONLY ACTIVATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS APPROXIMATELY SIXTEEN INCHES AWAY FROM AN OBJECT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REAR PARK ASSIST SYSTEM WAS WORKING PROPERLY BY ALERTING THE CONTACT AT SIXTEEN INCHES AWAY. THE CONTACT FEARED THAT THE ALARM WILL NOT ALERT HER IN TIME AND, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS HIGHER FROM THE GROUND. SHE MAY NOT SEE PEOPLE OR OBJECTS IN TIME WHEN DRIVING IN REVERSE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 3,300, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3.*AK UPDATED 05/23/07 *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
