2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN Complaints

THE CLOCK SPRING/STEERING SENSOR HAS GONE OUT ON MY ASPEN. WHAT I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IS IT HAS GONE BAD ON SO MANY ASPEN AND OTHER CHRYSLER CARS USING THIS PART THAT IT IS ON BACK ORDER AND MAY TAKE UP TO 6 MONTHS TO GET ONE... THIS PART HAS CAUSED MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKE, SKID CONTROL AND MY ALL WHEEL DRIVE TO NO LONGER WORK

MY VEHICLE RECALL WAS SENT OUT ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE MANUFACTURER STILL DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS SENT TO THE DEALERS TO INSTALL--WHY?

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, GAS SPRAYS EVERYWHERE AFTER THE GAS PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK.

THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON CONSTANTLY DESPITE BEING REPAIRED AT LEAST THREE TIMES. WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT IT HAS BEEN REPAIRED, HOWEVER, THE LIGHT REMAINS ON. TWO SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS HAVE WORKED ON THE ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF. WE HAVE SPENT SUBSTANTIAL FUNDS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE IS ABLE TO GET LIGHT TO TURN OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT NOTICED STRONG FUEL FUMES EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT HAD PREVIOUSLY ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE DETECTOR, VALVE LIN AND THE SEAL VAPOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,000.

WE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE UPON HITTING A MEDIUM SIZED BUMP WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 38MPH IN A STRAIGHT LINE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN HITTING SMALL TO MEDIUM SIZED BUMPS SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LATE IN 2014. THERE ARE NO BROKEN OR WORN OUT PARTS IN THE STEERING OR SUSPENSION AND THE TIRES ONLY HAVE 3,000 MILES ON THEM. IN FACT, THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE WHEN WE REPLACED THE PREVIOUS TIRES. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE THE IN ENGINEERING OF THE STEERING SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO HIT A BUMP WITHOUT THE STEERING PULLING TO THE SIDE, WHICH RE-DIRECTS THE VEHICLE REGARDLESS OF HOW HARD THE DRIVER GRIPS THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS VEHICLE AND WE NEED A SOLUTION AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ACCIDENT.
