FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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.

NHTSA complaint #10898273 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ASPEN HAS ONLY 16000 MILES AND HAS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF BURPING FUEL OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FILLING UP AT WHAT EVER PRESSURE ONE HOLDS THE NOZZLE. EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED IT DUMPS OUT 1 TO 2 GALLONS OF FULL ON MYSELF AND THE BODY OF THE CAR AS WELL AS ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUE YET A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER THEM SELVES ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. TSB 14-001-12 CLASSIFYING IT AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN. ACKNOWLEDGING THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEING A STUCK FLAPPER IN THE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER IS NOT WANTING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC RECALL NOTED AND THAT THE TSB BULLETIN IS FOR THERE OWN TECHS AND NOT FOR CUSTOMER AWARENESS. EVERY TIME I OR MY WIFE FILL THE TANK IN THE ASPEN WHILE TRAVELING OR LOCALLY I GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FUEL BACK SPRAYED AND SPEWED ON ME AND MY CLOTHS REQUIRING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM ANY SPARKS, FIRE OR IGNITIONS OF ANY SORT TILL I REMOVE MY CLOTHING AND THEN SHOWER OFF THE GASOLINE. I COULD REALLY USE HELP IN GETTING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE RESOLVE FOR AND MY WIFE. I HAVE ON HAND LETTERS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLEARLY STATING THAT THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY OF.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT TIME OF FILL UP, WHEN THE PUMP STOPS FULL SPEWS OUT OF THE FUEL FILLER NECK. IT HAS BEEN THIS WAY SINCE WE PURCHASED THE CAR AND WHEN I BROUGHT THIS TO THE SALES MANAGERS ATTENTION HE PLAYED IT OFF AS NO BIG DEAL. 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.
NHTSA complaint #10744083 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FOR THE LAST 1-2 YEARS, EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK MY 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN WILL STALL REPEATEDLY. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS, ALL STEERING AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST. THE CAR WILL RESTART AFTER ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY THREE TIMES AFTER FUELING UP, THE PROBLEM STOPS UNTIL THE NEXT TIME I FILL UP THE TANK. THE ISSUE OCCURS WITHOUT FAIL EVER TIME I FILL UP MY TANK. I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SHOP A NUMBER OF TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE DETERMINED OR REPAIRED. THERE HAVE BEEN NO CODES WHEN A DIAGNOSTIC IS RAN (ONE TIME THERE WAS A SMALL EVAP. LEAK BUT ONCE THE IGNITION COIL WAS REPLACED, THE CODE WAS GONE). I HAVE HAD THE IGNITION COIL REPLACED, SPARK PLUGS REPLACED, EVAPORATION CONTROL CANISTER REPLACED, ETC. OFTEN, THERE IS A STRONG GAS SMELL AFTER FILLING UP, BUT THERE IS NO LEAK FROM THE GAS TANK THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO BE DETECTED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE STALLS CONSISTENTLY WITH FULL TANK OF GAS. SAME PROBLEM OTHER CHRYSLERS HAVE WITH EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM VALVE.
NHTSA complaint #10632108 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE OF THE DATE BUT OUR VEHICLE FIRST SPEWED GAS FROM THE GAS TANK WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK SOMETIME IN EARLY 2012. THIS ONLY HAPPENED ONE OR TWO TIMES BEFORE WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR A CHECK VALVE IN THE FUEL FILL LINE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE REPAIR AS SOON AS THE PART WAS AVAILABLE LATE IN 2012. A FEW MONTHS AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO OVERFLOW EVERY TIME THAT IT WAS FILLED TO ANYWHERE NEAR CAPACITY. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THAT A NEW FUEL TANK IS REQUIRED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM UNDER THE LIFETIME WARRANTY THAT WAS ISSUED WITH THE RECALL. THIS IS A SERIOUS FIRE HAZARD SINCE SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF FUEL OVERFLOW ONTO THE VEHICLE, THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE, AND THE GROUND EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS FILLED WITH FUEL. IN ADDITION TO THE SAFETY HAZARD, THIS ALSO PRESENTS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD DUE TO THE FUEL LEAKAGE ONTO THE GROUND.

BOUGHT MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WENT TO FILL IT UP WITH GAS, TANK WAS JUST ABOUT FULL WHEN AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GAS SHOT OUT OF THE FILLER NECK ALL OVER MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
GASOLINE DISCHARGED (APPROXIMATELY 1/4 GALLON) OUT OF FUEL FILLER AFTER GASOLINE FILLER NOZZLE SHUTS OFF AT FILL-UP WHEN TANK REACHES CAPACITY. THIS HAPPENS AT ALL GAS PUMPS, NOT A SPECIFIC STATION. MANY ATTENDANTS AT GAS STATIONS HAVE STATED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS FUEL GETS ON THE GROUND AND ON THE PERSON FUELING.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN FILLING WITH FUEL, THE FUEL WHEN FINISHED WILL SPEW OUT EVERY TIME. THIS SOAKS THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL AND IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZZARD. EVEN IF I AM CAREFUL AND FILL MORE SLOWLY OR STOP IT BEFORE IT IS READY IT DOES NOT MATTER, THERE IS A FUEL SPILL EVERYTIME.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY:FILLER PIPE AND CAP
2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND POOLING ON THE GROUND. THIS RELEASES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF FUEL VAPORS AND PRESENTS A LARGE GASOLINE FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP AND REGARDLESS OF OCTANE, TIME OF DAY, OR AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK ON FILL UP. I BOUGHT THIS USED ASPEN TWO DAYS AGO AND NO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL OWN UP TO THE ISSUE.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
1.NOTHING OBVIOUS LEADING UP TP THE INCIDENT 2.WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT OF THE AUTO SHUT OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL BURP FUEL OUT OF THE FILL RESERVOIR. AT EVERY FILL UP, IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING FULL TANK FILLS. WE DO NOT KEEP FILLING AFTER THE AUTO SHUT OFF GETS TRIGGERED. 3.DEALER SAYS IT'S A BAD CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS THE ONLY OPTION. 4.THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR VERY SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL ISSUE WITH IT'S SISTER TRUCK 2005 DODGE DURANGO...
