2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPITS GAS INTO THE AIR 3 FEET AFTER THE GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. CAUSING PERSONAL INJURY, AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD. THE PROBLEM BEGAN ABOUT THE TIME THE WARRANTY WENT OFF. CHRYSLER SAYS THE CAR REQUIRES A NEW GAS TANK, AND WILL NOT HONOR THE REPAIR, COST TO REPAIR IS $330 PARTS PLUS LABOR TO INSTALL. *TR

WHEN REFUELING, UPON AUTO SHUT OFF OF FUEL NOZZLE APPROXIMATELY A QUART OF GASOLINE WILL BLOW OUT FROM THE FUEL FILL OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS NOT DUE TO A PROBLEM WITH THE PUMP NOZZLE, AS IT OCCURS AT DIFFERENT FUEL SUPPLIERS . THIS PROBLEM DOES NOT OCCUR IF FILLING IS STOPPED SHORT OF A FULL TANK. FUEL USUALLY SPLASHES ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND HAS GOTTEN ON MY SLEEVE IF MY HAND IS ON THE NOZZLE. SPLASHING OF FUEL IS DANGEROUS, IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER ON SOME OF THEIR OTHER VEHICLES AND IT SHOULD APPLY TO THIS VEHICLE ALSO. UPDATED IVOQ 02/24/11 *TR

MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, 5.7L HEMI, GAS BLOWBACK EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS. OCCURS AT DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS AND NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I PUMP AT SELF-SERVICE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS GAS HAS POURED OUT ON MY CLOTHING AND SHOES AS WELL AS RUNNING DOWN SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 7-10 OZ SHOOTS OUT AFTER EVERY FILL UP. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, I AM JUST ALLOWING IT TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY. GAS SHOOTS OUT OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON MANY CHRYSLER ASPENS ACCORDING TO A INTERNET SEARCH. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR RECALL ON THEIR DURANGO MODEL. *TR

2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN DIRECTION SIGNAL WILL SWITCH FROM LEFT TO RIGHT DURING A TURN. IT IS INTERMITTENT AT THIS TIME. *TR
