AT TIME OF FILL UP, WHEN THE PUMP STOPS FULL SPEWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK.

HE DID OFFER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO PURCHASE TO HAVE THE CAR "FIXED" SO IT WOULDN'T SPEW FUEL ON THE GROUND OR PERSON PUMPING GAS. I FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED IN A RECALL.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED IN TO THE SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE HAD SEIZED UP. I ONLY HAD 55000 MILES ON THE TRUCK WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I HAD THE TRUCK FULLY SERVICED 2 DAYS BEFORE AS WE WERE OUT OF TOWN. I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL TYPES OF DODGE AND CHRYSLER ENGINES.
