2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPIT BACK ONTO THE CONTACT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,500.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE NEAR THE END OF FILLING. I STARTED THE COMPLAINT IN DEC, 2009 WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ROLLOVER VALVE AFTER KEEPING IT OVERNIGHT. I DON'T DRIVE IT AROUND LOCALLY VERY OFTEN SO THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE A LOT BETWEEN HIGHWAY TRIPS. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHILE ON A TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT BUT GET BLANK LOOK AS THOUGH THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT KIND OF A PROBLEM BEFORE. APPARENTLY, AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME (AFTER IT SPLASHED ON ME THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT). SINCE THEN, I'VE LEARNED TO STAND CLEAR OR CUT OFF THE FUELING SHORT OF A FILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE THAT WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN I JUST BOUGHT 3/12/11 UP WITH GAS, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AS IT SHOULD WHEN TANK IS FULL, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GAS COMES POURING BACK OUT. TRIED THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS STILL SAME RESULT. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND OR EXPLOSION. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4WD LTD. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: GAS OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK DURING A FILL-UP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY 2011 WHILE FILLUP THE TANK AFTERWORK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE @ THE PUMP I WAS USING OR THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG @ THE PUMP)LIKE FORCING A FUEL TOP-OFF); BUT APPROX 1 WK LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT @ A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNKNOWN AFFECTS OF DIRECT CONTACT ON THE SKIN & THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING BURNT. ON 2/15/11, I WAS FILLING UP GAS @ THE HESS STATION & A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WAS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK GETTING ALL OVER MY HAND, AND JACKET SLEEVE, THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (3/13/11). AFTER YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT I DECIDED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET & LEARNED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHRYSLER ASPEN / DODGE DURANGO OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TOMORROW (3/15/11) NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS OUT AT EVERY FILL UP, UNLESS I STOP THE NOZZLE IN TIME. IT SHOOTS ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS BACK AT ME. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $800 FOR A NEW TANK. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3-4 MONTHS STARTING AROUND NOVEMBER. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AT A LOCAL DEALER IN JAN , HAVE HAD VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND NOW IN SHOP DUE TO GASOLINE SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING TANK. ALL 3 TIMES FILLED THE TANK GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR A GAS TANK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ,I PURCHASED OVER $3000 OF WARRANTIES AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND TOP TO BOTTOM AND NOW I AM INFORMED THE TANK IS NOT COVERED . THE TANKS WILL COST ME $800.00 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT WAS A DEFAULT . IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR A TRADE. I WAS TOLD I COULD IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TANK , I COULD CONSIDER NEVER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, YEAH RIGHT! I HAVE NOT HAD TO MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL FEB 22,2011. I REALLY THINK I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DIRTY DEAL. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS WHEN FILLING TANK. I HAVE TRIED STOPPING THE PUMP BEFORE IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT GAS STILL POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR SHOOTS BACK AT ME. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. *LN

AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUR OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

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
