2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X2. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE FUELING THE TANK, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE TANK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

THE SVC 4WD LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IDLING AND OTHER RANDOM TIMES. THE STEERING ACTS LIKE ITS IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN IT ISNT. THERE IS A SHIFTING OF SOME KIND WHEN THE ENGINE ISN'T ON AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED REMOTELY.

WHEN VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS, ENGINE WILL EITHER ACCELERATE, STALL OUT, OR LOSE MOST OF IT POWER. AFTER LETTING THE ENGINE RUN FOR MORE THAN 20 MINUTES IT WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE PARTICULARLY WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS OUT WITH THE POTENTIAL OF AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL-THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE WHILE DEPLOYING DURING A CRASH. THE POTENTIAL FOR SUCH RUPTURES MAY OCCUR IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT AIRBAG INFLATORS AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF EXPOSURE TO PERSISTENT CONDITIONS OF HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND/OR HEAT AGING. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENT(S) COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN ADDITIONAL INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. WHY IS THERE NOT A FIX FOR THIS AND IF THERE ISN'T ONE WHY IS THE VEHICLE NOT BEING RECALLED AND THOSE OF US WHO HAVE IT BEING COMPENSATED APPROPRIATELY TO GET A NEW VEHICLE! MAYBE CONTACTING A LAWYER WOULD HELP. IF SOMEONE I LOVE IS INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS THERE WILL BE A LAWSUIT!

CURRENTLY MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS ARE ON A RECALL AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HAVE A FIX FOR THE DRIVERS SIDE, NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. WHEN CALLING CHRYSLER TO ASK WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO ABOUT THIS. WE WERE TOLD TO 1, NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE OR 2 NOT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. THAT METAL SHRAPNEL COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL SOMEONE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. SERIOUSLY!!!! WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ASKING WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS OR RECALLING THE VEHICLE BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS GIVE US A CODE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AT COST BUT GUESS WHAT. THERE IS NO DEALERSHIP THAT WILL TAKE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH A RECALL THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED AND RESALE IT. SO PRETTY MUCH I AM STUCK IN A LOAN WITH A VEHICLE THAT COULD INJURE OR KILL MYSELF, KIDS, HUSBAND, ETC. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL FOR CHRYSLER TO DO!!
