FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE ENTERING ONTO AN EXPRESSWAY. LOSS OF POWER STEERING MADE VEHICLE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL TO SAFELY GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED MADE THE VEHICLE A FURTHER HAZARD. ONCE ON THE SHOULDER, THE VEHICLE COULD BE PHYSICALLY KEYED OFF, THEN RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE. CAUSE OF FAILURE IS UNKNOWN.
NHTSA complaint #11046954 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING WITH GAS. VEHICLE WILL STUTTER AND STALL WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE STALL OCCURS WHILE DRIVING AND YOU LOSE STEERING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. NEITHER A DEALER OR PRIVATE MECHANIC CAN GET A CLEAR INDICATION AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. FUEL PUMP RELAY(MARCH 2017) AND EGR VALVE(JULY 2017) HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED AND PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURS. VEHICLE RUNS FINE AFTER SITTING FOR A WHILE BUT STALLS AFTER REFUELING. OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SINCE JULY 5. WE GOT IT BACK ON JULY 19 AND WHEN WE PUT GAS IN IT , IT DIED AGAIN AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK THE SAME NIGHT TO THE SHOP WHO HAD JUST REPLACED THE EGR VALVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS 'SPITS OUT' WHEN FILLING. VERY DANGEROUS, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OVER A FOOT. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR RECALL 'TSB 14-001-12', DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. RETURNED THE CAR 3 DAYS LATER AND CHARGED $100.00. WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!! WHY DOESN'T THIS RECALL PAY FOR IT??? IT'S DIFFENTLY A SAFEY PROBLEM???

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
EVERY TIME I FILL THE FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE STALL OUT ON ME WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION AND LOST CONTROL OF STEERING.
NHTSA complaint #10937154 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE SPUTTERS AND DIES AFTER REFUELING. AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO STAY RUNNING. IT WILL RUN LONG ENOUGH TO PULL OUT, OR ATTEMPT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THEN WILL DIE. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. MY MECHANIC HAS DETERMINED IT TO BE A CHECK VALVE IN BETWEEN THE FUEL TANK AND VAPOR CANISTER THAT FAILS AND ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EMISSION SYSTEM. THIS IN TURN CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO DIE. ONE WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS A SIMPLE FIX, BUT THE CHECK VALVE IS ONLY AVAILABLE WITH THE $807 FUEL TANK. THIS ISSUE IS SERIOUS AND COULD CAUSE A WRECK WHICH COULD LEAVE TO INJURIES AND OR DEATH.
NHTSA complaint #10885636 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE SECOND HAND. ONE PREVIOUS OWNER PRIOR. JUST RECENTLY IT STARTED SPITTING GAS BACK DURING FILL UP (CAR IS PARKED, NOT RUNNING). ANYTIME WE FILL UP WITH GAS, THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AND IMMEDIATELY GAS SPITS BACK OUT OF THE TANK. VARYING AMOUNTS OF GAS THAT SPITS BACK AT THE PUMP. EVERY TIME, WITH FORCE, HAVING TO ALERT THE GAS STATION ATTENDANTS TO FUEL SPILLED ON THE GROUND DUE TO THE SPIT BACK. I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE SPIT BACK.
NHTSA complaint #10852322 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION REGARDLESS OF ROAD STREET OR HIGHWAY AFTER REFUELING, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FUEL TANK & THE ON-BOARD REFUELING VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM IS FAULTY AND THAT RAW LIQUID FUEL WAS GOING INTO THE ENGINE CAUSING FAILING. WE HAVE LITTLE CHOICE BUT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AS THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A FIRE IN THE ENGINE AND\OR CAUSE A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT AS THE ENGINE STOPS WHILE IN MOTION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL SPRAYS BACK OUT OF THE TANK DURING A REFUELING. IT DOESN'T MATTER THE TIME OF YEAR ALTHOUGH DURING THE WARMER TEMPERATURES IT IS MORE INTENSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
NHTSA complaint #10824744 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK INLET PIPE ONTO THE PERSON PUTTING FUEL INTO THE TANK. THIS HAPPENS EVEN THOUGH YOU MAY NOT BE TOPPING OFF THE TANK. FUEL SPLASHES ONTO PERSON, CLOTHES, HANDS, SHOES, VEHICLE QUARTER PANEL AND PUDDLES ON CONCRETE PAD . I HAVE RECEIVED SKIN IRRITATION FROM THE CONTACT OF THE FUEL ON MY HANDS AND HAVE TO GO IN THE STORE TO WASH MY HANDS OR WASH THEM IN THE DIRTY WATER IN THE WINDSHIELD SCRAPER HOLDER. I HAVE A COUPLE OF FRIENDS THAT OWN ASPENS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IN DOING RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE, I SEE WHERE CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON CERTAIN DURANGOS AND ASPENS, BUT ACCORDING TO MY DEALER, MY VEHICLE AND MANY MORE WERE EXCLUDED. THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY CHRYSLER. IT IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE NHTSA MAKES CHRYSLER DO A RECALL ON ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. QUESTION BELOW ASKS, "WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN"? IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I PUT FUEL IN MY ASPEN. IT CAN HAVE 1/4 TANK AND I CAN PUT IN 5 GALLONS OF FUEL REAL SLOW AND WHEN I WITHDRAW THE NOZZLE, FUEL WILL SPLASH OUT. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS TODAY...

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2010. IT IS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. I HAD IT JUST A FEW MONTHS AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE STEERING. I AM GOOD DRIVER AND DROVE TO WORK EACH DAY WITHOUT ISSUE. I WENT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE ADVISED THE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE HAS BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR YEARS AND NOTED HOW ODD IT IS THAT A NEWER VEHICLE WOULD NEED A TIE ROD REPLACEMENT. HE HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. IT COST OVER $500 TO GET IT REPLACED. HE SAID HAD I DRIVEN IT JUST A FEW MORE DAYS THE WHOLE FRONT WOULD HAVE BROKEN CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO HAD AN ISSUE IN 2012 WITH A EMISSION SENSOR AND MY GAS TANK.
