2007 Chrysler Aspen Problems

When fueling the vehicle as soon as the pump pops off indicating your tank is filled gass will sphew/ or spray back out of the vehicle and onto the person fueling, the side of the vehicle and the ground. This happens every single time no matter what fuel station you use,regardless of the time of day or temperature outside. After looking online I can see there have been numerous reports of this from other 2007 Chrysler Aspen owners going back several years; however, I have not been able to locate anything indicating this is a recall and my vin number indicates all recalls have been addressed on this vehicle. Is there a solution for this issue, is it being repaired by Chrysler or what is being done? Please let me know, as this is a safety issue for anyone fueling up , anyone in the vehicle or around the vehicle. I noticed it asks for an approximate date of when this occured, there has been several dates so I will provide the date of the most recent issue.

When filling the gas tank up using the "fill lock" feature on nearly all modern fuel pump nozzles, when the tank gets full the fill nozzle clicks off and about a half a pint of raw fuel is "purged" back out of the tank filler neck. At first I thought this was a problem at a specific fuel station. I have since learned that it can do it anywhere, at any time of day, and at any temperature.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DARCARS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF NEW CARROLLTON (8100 ANNAPOLIS RD, NEW CARROLLTON, MD 20784 (301) 459-6800) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRES WERE BURNED TO THE CONTROL MODULE AND CLOCK SPRINGS. THE CLOCK SPRING AND CONTROL MODULE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT WOULD NOT ASSIST DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE ENCOUNTERED A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK AND CAUSE THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

VEHICLE HAS A VIBRATION IN STEERING MAINLY WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED BY 5 DIFFERENT MECHANICS INCLUDING CHRYSLER. NO ONE CAN FIND IT. I HAVE CHANGES TIRES AND SHOKES THREE TIMES.

THE STEERING JERKS AND CAR SHIFTS WHEN I HIT A POT HOLE OF BUMP IN THE ROAD ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AND IT HAS ALMOST CAUSED US TO LOSS CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE A FEW TIMES, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN OR I WOULD DODGE THE HOLE. VERY SCARY WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN. WE HAVE HAD THE FRONT END CHECKED AND THEN TELL US THERE'S NO PROBLEM. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN UNLESS YOUR DRIVING OVER 40 MPH AND WHEN YOUR DRIVING 65 ON THE HIGHWAY, IT'S GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED ONE DAY. THERE'S NOT A SPECIFIC DAY, SINCE IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME YOU DRIVE IT AND HIT A HOLE OR BUMP IN THE ROAD. WE HAVE OWNED IT SINCE IT WAS NEW AND ALWAYS HAD THE PROBLEM. WE ARE ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING, WE HAVE INSTALLED 3 COMPRESSES, DRYERS IT WILL NOT COOL THIS LAST TIME IT WAS IN THE SHOP 8 DAYS. THEY MUST HAVE INSTALLED AND REMOVED EVERY PART THAT WOULD CAUSE IT NOT TO COOL, STILL BLOWS HOT AIR AND IT'S ALREADY 95+ DEGREES OUTSIDE. MY ELDERLY MOTHER DRIVES THIS ASPEN AND IT USE TO BE A GREAT CAR, BUT ONCE THEY BREAK YOU MIGHT AS WELL BUY SOMETHING NEW. IT'S NO WONDER THEY ONLY MAKE THE ASPEN 3 YEARS. WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE EVER.

EVERY TIME WE FILL THE GAS TANK ... THE VEHICLE WILL STUTTER / SHAKE WHEN AT IDLE OR DIE COMPLETELY AT IDLE LIKE AT A STOP SIGN OR DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW. IT WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. AFTER IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN ABOUT 25-40 MILES IT STOPS HAPPENING. WE HAVE PAID FOR TOTAL VEHICLE INSPECTIONS, WE HAVE ALSO PAID $1300 TO HAVE EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP CAN FIND FIXED. THIS DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM AT ALL AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE SUV. THIS IS THE CAR OUR SON DRIVES AND WE ARE VERY CONCERNED. WE ARE NOT IN A FINANCIAL POSITION TO REPLACE THE VEHICLE AND HAVE NOW EMPTIED OUR SAVINGS TO HAVE THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SERVICED, INSPECTED AND REPAIRED.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING IT TO LOSE BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK SO IT CANT BE CHANGED. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE CHANGED AND THE FUEL TANK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A TICKING TIME BOMB BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY OR BEING DRIVEN AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY SWITCHED TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE RED LIGHT FLASHED DURING THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 110,000.

MY FOUR WHEEL DRIVE AUTOMATICALLY ENGAGES. DEALER WANTS ME TO SPEND MONEY ON PARTS AND ARE ONLY GUESSING THAT THOSE PARTS WILL FIX THE PROBLEM. NOT ONCE HAVE THEY CHECKED THE WIRING. THE ENGAGEMENT HAPPENS WHEN STATIONARY (UNLOCKING THE CAR). SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. THE LIGHTS COME ONE WHEN DRIVING HIGH SPEED BUT NOTHING HAPPENS. THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS TURN ON: 4WHEEL SERVICE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY. I FEEL IT IS A WIRING PROBLEM.

I JUST KEEP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TURNING SIGNAL MODULE. THE TURN SIGNAL HESITATES AT TIMES AND THEN THE OPPOSITE SIGNAL WILL COME ON OR NO SIGNAL AT ALL. SO FAR THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT BUT CLEARLY THERE'S A DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM FOR THIS TO KEEP HAPPENING. I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE EMERGENCY SIGNALS ALSO, THEY MAY OR MAY NOT COME ON. BEFORE I HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AGAIN IT WOULD BE NICE FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME IN REGARDS TO THIS MATTER. *TR

MY WIPERS COMES ON EVERY TIME I START MY TRUCK. ON 8/3/14 IT WAS RAINING AND I HAD THE WIPERS ON HIGH CAUSE OF HEAVY RAIN AND THEY STOPPED WORKING AND WOULD RUN SLOW. THE WIPERS WOULD INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE WIPERS TO BECOME INOPERABLE OR IT WOULD OPERATE ABNORMALLY. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY THE TURN SIGNALS, THE SIGNAL SELECTED WAS OPPOSITE OF THE SIGNAL ACTIVATED. WHEN ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL THE RIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE. THE SAME HAPPENS WHEN THE RIGHT SIGNAL IS ACTIVATED THE LEFT ACTIVATES ERRONEOUSLY. *TR

A WARNING INDICATER WILL SOUND SOMETIMES WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT WHEN HAS BEEN LOCKES INTO PLACE (FASTENED). I HAVE TO LOCK AND UNLOCK THE SEATBELT TO SHUTDOWN THE INDICATER. ALSO THE PASSANGER SEATBELT WILL NOT RELEASE ONCE LOCKED, HOWEVER IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUETS TO GET IT TO RELEASE.

THE DRIVER'S SEATBELTS BUCKLE WILL GET STUCK WHEN TRYING TO UNBUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELT IT WILL NOT RELEASE. WHEN PUMPING GAS AT ANY GAS STATION WHEN THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AND THEN IT WILL SPRAY GAS OUT OF THE FILL HOLE ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND NO MATTER IF YOU'RE PUMPING FUEL SLOW OR FAST

MY COMPLIANT IS SPECIFIC TO THE TPMS TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INSTALLED BY CHRYSLER. WHEN TRYING TO FILL MY TIRES THE THREADS ON THE TPMS SENSOR SEPARATED FROM THE STEM LEAVING ME UNABLE TO ADD AIR TO THE TIRE. THE REPAIR REQUIRED THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR. IN SPEAKING WITH THE TIRE REPAIR SHOP THEY INDICATED THE CHRYSLER SENSORS USE A WHITE METAL THREAD SECTION WHICH COMMONLY FAILS IN COLD CLIMATES. THE SEPARATION OF THE THREADS LED TO ADDITIONAL PRESSURE LOSS AND COULD POTENTIALLY FAIL UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL STAY ON AND THEN GO OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND I EVEN TOOK A PICTURE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE GOING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID UNLESS IT HAPPENS WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE THEY CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MY DAUGHTER AND BROTHERS CHRYSLER AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT JUST COMING ON FOR NO REASON AND THE DEALER STATING NOTHING IS WRONG. I BELIEVE THE CHRYSLER VEHICLES NEED TO BE RECALLED AND PROBLEM TO BE DETERMINED AND FIXED. WITH A BRAKE LIGHT COMING ON THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND COULD LEAD TO MAJOR ACCIDENTS IF THE BRAKES FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT OPERATE. *TR
