2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

FUEL WILL SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER PORT[NOT TOPPING OFF]----THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ISSUE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE? *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN IT IS FULL, BUT AT LEAST A GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AND AUTO. THE PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN IT IS FULL, BUT THEN THE GASOLINE STARTS POURING OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE LIGHTS FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE WIRING HARNESS HAD CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT TIE ROD REPLACED. CAR VIBRATED AT SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART LOOKED TO BE DEFECTIVE. *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND AT FIRST FUEL FILL-UP GAS SPEWED OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILL-UP. I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND I WAS HOLDING GAS LEVER MYSELF. AS IT SHUT OFF, A TON OF FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

WE WERE DRIVING AND WE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, GOOD THING WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE WHEN THE CLICKING GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WHEN WE GOT TO DEALER WE TOLD THEM THAT WE HEARD WEIRD NOISES COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. IT CAME OUT BEING THAT 2 STUDS FROM REAR OF ENGINE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF. THEY SAID IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE 2 STUDS BROKEN THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE MIGHT FAIL AND U COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE VALVES COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE IF DRIVEN WITH EXHAUST LEAK OR ANOTHER SCENARIO IS THAT THE EXHAUST LEAKED COULD CAUSE A FIRE . I WENT ONLINE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECORDED THAT THE STUDS HAVE BROKEN AND ITS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH DODGE RAMS, DODGE DURANGOS, AND CHRYSLER ASPENS. THEY SAID THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE STUDS. WERE GONNA SPEND 450 FOR 2 BROKEN STUDS. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE NO DAMAGE IN THE VALVES. PLEASE MAKE CHRYSLER DO A RECALL ON THERE ENGINE SO THEY CAN FIX THE STUD PROBLEMS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. THANK U *TR

EVERYTIME DRIVING ON FREEWAY AND GOING 50MPH OR MORE, THERE IS NO CONTROL IN STEERING COLUMN AND A FEELING OF FEAR WHILE HAVING NO CONTROL ON ROAD. *TR

MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WAS IN "PARK" AT A GASOLINE STATION. THE CAR SHIFTED INTO REVERSE WHILE I WAS FILLING THE TANK. I TRIED TO JUMP IN THE CAR AS IT WAS ROLLING AND WAS DRUG ALONG THE CEMENT.THE CAR WAS EVENTUALLY STOPPED WHEN THE DOOR HIT A CEMENT POLE. THIS RESULTED IN APPROXIMATELY $2200 IN DAMAGES TO THE DOOR OF THE VEHICLE AND QUITE A FEW CUTS, SCRAPES AND BRUISES ON MY BODY. THE CAR HAD SHIFTED OUT OF GEAR SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE (USUALLY WHILE I WAS IN REVERSE) AND HAD BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER, BUT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET THE CAR TO DO IT WHILE IT WAS IN THE SHOP, THEY REFUSED TO FIX IT. THE KEY ALSO WOULD STICK WHEN STARTING THE CAR LEAVING IT TO REV WHILE I TRIED TO GET THE KEY OUT. I WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIRMAN THAT CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THESE ISSUES, BUT UNTIL THEY FOUND A FIX THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR THESE SAME ISSUES, BUT THE ASPEN HAS NEVER BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE SINCE TRADED IN THE VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER BRAND BECAUSE OF THESE ISSUES. *TR

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

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
