2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

GAS SPILLS OUT OF TANK (APPROXIMATELY 1/4 GALLON) WHEN TANK REACHES CAPACITY. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS PUMPS, NOT A SPECIFIC STATION. VARIED SPEED OF PUMP AND WEATHER CONDITIONS HAVE NOT CHANGED THIS ISSUE.

WHEN REFUELING, UPON AUTO SHUT OFF OF FUEL NOZZLE APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GASOLINE WILL BLOW OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE, AS IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT FUEL SUPPLIERS . THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR IF FILLING IS STOPPED SHORT OF A FULL TANK. FUEL USUALLY SPLASHES ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND HAS GOTTEN ON MY SLEEVE IF MY HAND IS ON THE NOZZLE. SPLASHING OF FUEL IS DANGEROUS, IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE ALSO. UPDATED IVOQ 02/24/11 *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, 5.7L HEMI, GAS BLOWBACK EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS. OCCURS AT DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS AND NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I PUMP AT SELF-SERVICE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS GAS HAS POURED OUT ON MY CLOTHING AND SHOES AS WELL AS RUNNING DOWN SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 7-10 OZ SHOOTS OUT AFTER EVERY FILL UP. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, I AM JUST ALLOWING IT TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY. GAS SHOOTS OUT OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON MANY CHRYSLER ASPENS ACCORDING TO A INTERNET SEARCH. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR RECALL ON THEIR DURANGO MODEL. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN DIRECTION SIGNAL WILL SWITCH FROM LEFT TO RIGHT DURING A TURN. IT IS INTERMITTENT AT THIS TIME. *TR

BACK IN APRIL 02, 2010 I FILLED A COMPLAIN AND AS OF RIGHT NOW WE HAVEN'T RECEIVED ANY RESPONSE FOR YOUR DEPARTMENT. (ODI#10323492) AS THE RAINING START HAPPENING AGAIN HERE WE HAVE A SERIOUS CONCERN FOR OUR LIFE WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM WITH OUR VEHICLE IS THAT THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL LOCKED AND THE SUB START SPINNING LEFTWISE. IT HAPPENED THREE TIMES ON FEBRUARY. I REPORTED TO CHRYSLER ON MARCH 02, 2010, THEY SENT AN INSPECTOR AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, THE CLAIMED OUR BACK TIRES WERE WARNED OUT. WE STRONGLY BELIEVED SINCE HAPPENED THREE TIMES TO US THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK ON A WET WEATHER AND NEEDS TO BE PUT INTO A RECALL OR SOME KIND OF AN ALERT. *TR

CHRYSLER ASPEN 2008, PROBLEM WITH ABS WHEN ROADS ARE WET. ABS LOCKED LEFT FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL MAKING THE TRUCK SPING CLOCKCOUNTER WISE. IT HAPPEN TWICE TO MY WIFE, AND THE THIRD TIME HAPPENED TO ME AND HER. I REPORTED TO CHRYSLER BUT THEY REJECT THE CLAIM AFTER THEY SEND AN ENGINEER TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. THEY BLAMING THE BACK TIRES BEEN WORN OUT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHENEVER THE CONTACT FILLS THE GAS TANK ON HIS VEHICLE HE NOTICED THAT GASOLINE WILL SUDDENLY SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE ONTO THE CONTACT AND THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS AND THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 73623.

FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS, OUR 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 37,000 MILES HAS BEEN SPILLING FUEL AT THE END OF EACH REFUELING. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS IT SHOULD, AND THEN FUEL SPILLS OUT. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT APPROXIMATELY 5-7 OUNCES OF FUEL SPILL OUT EACH TIME THIS OCCURS. I DID SOME RESEARCH, AND LEARNED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL TANK OF THE 2005 DODGE DURANGO (SAME VEHICLE - OURS IS REBADGED AS A CHRYSLER). THE RECALL LANGUAGE STATED "FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE MAY NOT FULLY CLOSE AT THE END OF REFUELING. THIS COULD ALLOW SOME FUELED TO ESCAPE FROM THE VEHICLE THROUGH THE FILLER NECK AT THE END OF REFUELING." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING ON OUR 2008 MODEL. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF, BUT FUEL THEN FOLLOWS AND SPILLS OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AT A LOW SPEED ,THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 18,800.
