2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 43,000 MILES ON IT. JUST BOUGHT IT TWO WEEKS AGO AND SINCE THEN I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL. ON THREE SEPARATE ATTEMPTS, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL COME FLYING BACK OUT. EVERYTIME IT HAS COME OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SPLASH BACK ON THE PUMP ITSELF. ON A FOURTH ATTEMPT, I TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, GAS CAME BACK OUT, NOT SPEWING, BUT STILL CAME BACK OUT. IT'S A VERY AGGRAVATING AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

1. NO FAILURE HAS OCCURRED, BUT IT FEELS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. 2. DESCRIPTION: THE SUSPENSION IS TOO SOFT AND BOUNCY. THE FRONT END FEELS LIKE IT SKIPS ACROSS THE ROAD IF YOU HIT A BAD SPOT IN THE PAVEMENT; JUST NORMAL BUMPS. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED, BUT IF YOU ARE ON THE INTERSTATE, IT FEELS INCREDIBLE DANGEROUS. CANNOT FEEL THE ROAD WHATSOEVER. TOO MANY "LARGE" BLIND SPOTS. I WON'T LET MY CHILDREN DRIVE THIS CAR, B/C I DON'T FEEL IT IS SAFE TOO DRIVE. 3. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND VIBRATION ISSUE. THEY BASICALLY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM GAS TANK ON 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AFTER STATION PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME AT ANY GAS STATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST 2 MONTHS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND POOLING ON THE GROUND. THIS RELEASES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF FUEL VAPORS AND PRESENTS A LARGE GASOLINE FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP. *TR

I OWNED A NEW 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT -HEATING ELEMENT MALFUNCTIONED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE AND WAS TOTALED. REPORTED TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED, IT WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. I STRONGLY DISAGREE. FIRE DEPARTMENT (CHIEF ARSON INVESTIGATOR) CLEARLY STATES IN HIS REPORT THAT IT WAS A FACTORY ISSUE AND VERY CLEARLY FIRE STARTED (WHILE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR 6-7 HOURS) IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND IGNITED CATCHING THE VEHICLE ON FIRE. *TR

1. I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER ASPEN IN 2007. 2. I TRIED TO INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW RIGHT WINDOW SEAT. DURING MY EFFORT TO SAFELY TIGHTEN THE SEAT A PLASTIC PORTION ON THE BUCKLE CRACKED. THE CRACKED PORTION OF THE SEATBELT IS WHAT PREVENTS THE BELT FROM GIVING SLACK WHEN A CHILD SEAT IS INSTALLED. THERE NOW WAS NOTHING FROM PREVENTING THE CHILD SEAT FROM MOVING PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE REPLACEMENT PART CRACKED AGAIN NOT AWARE OF HOW IT OCCURRED. THE BELT WAS NOW BEING UTILIZED AS A BOOSTER AND DID NOT HAVE TO BE MANUALLY TIGHTENED. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER THE BIRTH OF A NEW CHILD MY REAR RIGHT SEATBELT ALSO BROKE. THE SAME PLASTIC PART FAILED DURING INSTALLATION OF ANOTHER CAR SEAT UNDER MY PULLING TIGHTENING PRESSURE WHICH WOULD BE FAR LESS THAN STRESS FROM THE INERTIA OF AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD TWO NEW SEATBELTS ORDERED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY PART DESIGN AND POOR MATERIAL CHOICE AS OPPOSED TO A FAULTY PART. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE ALL MY KIDS WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE EVEN THE BELTS THAT HAVE NOT BROKEN YET ARE NOT SAFE. I ASKED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THESE DANGERS BUT THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT REFUSES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THREE FAILURES I ONLY GENERATED TWO REPORTS. IT'S DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE I WAITED FOR TWO BELTS TO BREAK BEFORE TAKING IT IN. CHRYSLER IS ALSO REFUSING TO LOOK IN TO THE MATTER OF THIS PART BEING UNSAFE ON ALL THEIR 2007 CHRYSLER MODELS. THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE THAT THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN AND OTHER CHILDREN COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. NOW I AM STUCK BECAUSE IT DOES NO GOOD TO REPLACED BELTS WITH MORE FAULTY BELTS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD, A 19 MONTH OLD AND A 1 WEEK OLD BABY THAT I CAN'T EVEN TAKE TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. *TR
