2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4 A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FULL, SOAKING ANY AND EVERYTHING WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. *TR

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK, WHEN GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, APPROXIMATELY ONE PINT TO A QUART OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF FILLER TUBE ONTO GROUND.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY.

I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL EVERYTIME. ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME FLYING BACK OUT. THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ON TO ME, THE FUEL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, FUEL STILL COMES SPLASHING/SPEWING BACK OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ASPEN OWNERS TO GET THE FUEL PROBLEM RESOLVED???? SAFETY FIRST! *TR

DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN GAS TANK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING ROLLOVERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FILL UP WHICH GOES DOWN VEHICLE AND ALL OVER PERSON FUELING. THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL HARM OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

IN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AS SOON AS THE PUMP STOPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK. THIS EVEN HAPPENS IF I FINISH THE FINAL FEW GALLONS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE FILL UPS AND ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SOME MONTHS AGO. *TR

ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GARAGE, IMPACTED MY STEEL WORKBENCH/TOOL CONTAINER, WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL AND THE FRONT END IMPACTED THE GROUND SEVEN FEET BELOW THE GARAGE DROPOFF AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REMOVED THE KEY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS WITNESSED THE EVENT AS THE VEHICLE DROVE OUT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT FT BELVOIR AMC. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN THE AC COMPRESSOR, FLICKERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL LIGHT, LOSS OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN 'R' IT WOULD FALL OUT OF GEAR. ALL WERE REPORTED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AT CHRYSLER DEALERS IN CA, MS AND VA. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER LATE NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED A LETTER BACK ON 17 DECEMBER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLAIMS RESOLUTION GROUP STATING THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER HAD VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2007 THAT HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND THE ACCELERATORS WERE MADE BY THE SAME SUPPLIER THAT MADE THE TOYOTA ONES. HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/06/04/CHRYSLER-IS-RECALLING-CALIBER-AND-COMPASS-FOR-ACCELERATOR-PEDAL-PROBLEM/ I AM PREPARED TO DISCUSS FURTHER ANY QUESTIONS CHRYSLER LEADERSHIP MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION AND WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT.
