2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING THE ESP/BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CHIME AND ILLUMINATE. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CLOCKSPRING, AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND/OR THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD CLOCKSPRING REPLACED, AND YES I DO HAVE THE OLD PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE DROVE OVER TWO SETS OF RAILROAD TRACKS AND WITHIN A FEW MINUTES HE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND NOTICE THAT THE TIE ROD ON THE LEFT DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD CRACKED IN HALF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THEY HAD THE TIRE ROD IN STOCK AND THE CONTACT PURCHASED IT AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60100.

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

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN IN PARSIPANNY, NJ. SHE WAS MERGING FROM 287S ONTO 80W AND TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH. AS SHE WAS MERGING ONTO 80W THE DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT ON THE STEERING LINKAGE COMPLETELY FAILED RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. SHE MANAGED TO LIMP CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED MYSELF AND AAA TO HAVE CAR BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 64K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. SHE IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND WE HAVE A 3.5 YEAR OLD SON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND/OR SPEED WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE AND SOLUTION.. *TR
