2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL MY FUEL TANK, APPROX. ONE GALLON OF GASOLINE SHOOTS BACK OUT. I GET COVERED IN GASOLINE, ALONG WITH THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND GROUND, CAUSING A VERY HAZARDOUS SITUATION. ANY TYPE OF SPARK COULD CAUSE ME TO GO ON FIRE, AS WELL AS THE CAR AND FUELING STATION. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO COMPLAIN BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED. I HAVE PERSONALLY VIEWED THOUSANDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINT. *TR

THE CAR WAS IDLING WHILE WAITING TO FOLLOW ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS THEN PUT INTO DRIVE, AT WHICH POINT ALL ELECTRICAL FUNCTION CEASED WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE RADIO, WHICH WOULD NOT SHUT OFF. THE ENGINE ALSO STOPPED RUNNING. FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL ACTION INITIATED FOR DEFECTIVE IGNITION SWITCH. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD STOPPED FOR GAS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE CAR TO START IT, THE IGNITION SWITCH WOULD NOT MOVE, AS THOUGH I HAD AN INCORRECT KEY. AGAIN, SOMEHOW ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER THE KEY TURNED. THERE IS A DANGEROUS ELECTRICAL MALFUNCTION OCCURRING IN THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH DURING RAINY WEATHER, THE DASH GAUGES AND SENSOR LIGHTS SUDDENLY BEGAN TO FLICKER OFF AND ON AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE POWER. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY WATER THAT HAD LEAKED FROM THE SUN ROOF AND ROOF PANEL INTO THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR PILLAR AND ONTO THE ELECTRICAL PANEL FUSE BOX. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000...09/29/14 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM IS ONGOING. THE VEHICLE CAN'T BE DRIVEN IN THE RAIN, BECAUSE WATER STILL LEAKS INTO THE INTERIOR ELECTRICAL PANEL. THE CONSUMER STATED IT WAS NOT COMING FROM THE SUN ROOF, AS HE SEALED IT OFF. UPDATED 10/02/14

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

ROUNDING CORNER WHEN STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED UP; NOT ALLOWING ME TO TURN VEHICLE TO MAKE CURVE. RAN THROUGH FIELD INTO ELECTRICAL BOX. ALMOST RAN IN TO HOUSE. FORTUNATELY, MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER IS AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER AND WAS ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY TO ENSURE HIS SAFETY. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT FOR MY 15 YEAR OLD SON TO DRIVE WHEN HE GETS HIS LICENSE. LUCKILY, HE WAS NOT DRIVING THE CAR AS HE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCE TO HANDLE THIS ACCIDENT WITHOUT FATALLY INJURING HIMSELF AND/OR OTHERS. I FOUND A RECALL NOTICE ON THESE VEHICLES AFTER THE ACCIDENT; WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED UNDER RECALL (ACTUALLY, NO RECALL AT ALL - WHAT?). THE ENGINE SOUNDS LOUD AND WHINY (FAN SOUNDING) AND THE RUNNING BOARD WAS PARTIALLY BROKEN OFF, AS WELL AS A SMALL DENT IN THE PASSENGER DOOR (DRIVER'S SIDE). CHRYSLER IS NOT HELPING AT ALL - REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. WHERE DO I TURN? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THE WHILE OPERATING THE TURN SIGNAL, THE SIGNAL SELECTED WAS OPPOSITE OF THE SIGNAL ACTIVATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN ACTIVATING THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL, THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT WOULD ACTIVATE ERRONEOUSLY. WHEN THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE RIGHT TURN SIGNAL, THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WOULD ACTIVATE. THE CONTACT ALSO INDICATED THAT THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WOULD INTERMITTENTLY MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE WIPER TO BECOME INOPERABLE OR IT WOULD OPERATE ABNORMALLY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN SELECTING THE HIGH SPEED WIPER, THE WIPER WOULD OPERATE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND SOMETIMES WHEN SELECTING SLOW SPEED THE WIPERS WOULD OPERATE AT FAST SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE SWITCH LEVER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS, ONCE THE PUMP STOPS AND THE TANK IS FULL ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS COMES BACK UP AND OUT OF THE FILL HOLE. SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THIS APPEARS TO BE A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THESE. THEY DID A RECALL ON THE JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS A SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF OUR ASPEN. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND ONE FOR THE ASPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING. THIS IS AN ONGOING INCIDENT THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME WE REFILL THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK TOWARD THE RIGHT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIGHT STEERING KNUCKLE WAS CRACKED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V386000 (STEERING). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *TR

ON MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS, GAS SPITS OUT AFTER FUELING. THIS BEGAN APPROXIMATELY AROUND DEC. 2013 AND CONTINUES TO BECOME MORE AGGRAVATING OVER TIME AS IT CONTINUES TO DO THIS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. *TR
