2007 Chrysler Aspen 4x4

FAILING LIFTERS AND CAMSHAFT WHICH IS HAPPENING TO OVER 5000 SEPARATE OWNERS ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. THE LIFTERS AND CAMSHAFT FAIL NO MATTER HOW WELL YOU KEEP UP YOUR MAINTENANCE. I HAD THE CAM AND LIFTERS REPLACED TWICE ONCE AT 98000 MILES BY CHRYSLER AND NOW I NEED THEM REPLACED AGAIN AT 195000 MILES WHICH VERY COMMON WITH OWNERS OF THIS ENGINE

POWER STEERING LINES TOUCH THE DRIVE TRAIN. I LOST STEERING CONTROL WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES AN HOUR. THE HIGH SIDE PRESSURE LINE BLEW OUT.

WHILE FUELING UP THE CAR, THE FILL NECK SPITS BACK FUEL

THERE IS A RECALL ON THE RIGHT STEERING KNUCKLE ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE, INCLUDING SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I DID NOT EVER GET A RECALL NOTICE, BUT WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE RIGHT STEERING KNUCKLE BROKE AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT OTHER DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, SO I WAS FORCED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE TO HAVE IT FIXED. I HAD TO PAY A LARGE DEDUCTIBLE AND WAS FAULTED FOR THE ACCIDENT. WHAT CAN I DO TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THIS SINCE THERE IS A RECALL ON THAT PART OF THE VEHICLE?

I WAS DRIVING IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER, I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING I ROLLED THE WINDOWS DOWN TO CHECK IF IT WAS MY TRUCK, SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE BACK SEAT. I PULLED OVER AND OPENED THE BACK DOOR AND SAW MY BACK SEAT BURNING. HAD TO PUT WATER AND LEAVE THE WINDOWS DOWN FOR A COUPLE DAYS, IT'S SO HORRIBLE TO THINK THAT MY SON USUALLY SITS THERE AND COULD OF GOTTEN BURNED. I GOT THIS TRUCK BECAUSE I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND I DRIVE TO THEIR ACTIVITIES EVERY DAY. *TR

THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANY BUMPS ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD SURFACE WILL RESULT IN A SUDDEN SHIFT OF DIRECTION, OR "JUMPING" OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN POSSIBLY SEND THE DRIVER INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. AS AN OWNER OF SEVERAL OTHER FCA VEHICLES (INCLUDING, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND A JEEP COMMANDER) I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING THAT NHTSA HAS NOT INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL OF THE CHRYSLER FORUMS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE FRONT END "JUMP" AND HAVE THE DRIVER SUDDENLY GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN INTENDED, THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY CONCERN. BUT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER BY FCA OR BY NHTSA, THIS MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF AN ATTORNEY AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE THIS GETS RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A SMALL MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

RECALL FOR THE VEHICLE IS NOW NEARLY 16 MONTHS INTO NOTIFICATION WITH NO RESOLVE. I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE ADDRESS. VIN: [XXX] YEAR: 2007 MAKE: CHRYSLER MODEL: ASPEN 4X4 NUMBER OF OPEN RECALLS: 2 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: OPENS NEW WINDOW TAKES AWAY FROM VIN LOOKUP SECTION> 15V-313 RECALL DATE: MAY 29, 2015 MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER: R25 SUMMARY: THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SAFETY RISK: AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS, COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S).

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A "SAFETY RECALL NOTICE" FOR THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO ABERDEEN AUTO CENTER IN ABERDEEN, SD, I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY REGISTERED IN CANADA. WHAT DO I DO?

WHEN USING THE LEFT BLINKER THE RIGHT BLINKER WILL INTERMITTENTLY START BLINKING. I AM CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. IT WILL HAPPEN WHILE IN MOTION AND SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPED.

THE CLOCK SPRING IS BROKEN. CHRYSLER DOESN'T HAVE THE PART AND CLAIM IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. I THINK ANYTHING INVOLVING THE INFLATION OF THE AIRBAG IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL HAVE WAITED FOR A YEAR FOR PARTS TO REPLACE MY DEFECTIVE DRIVERS AIRBAG. DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN THEY MIGHT GET THEM

FUEL OVER FILLS OUT OF THE FILLER WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT GAS PUMP TURNED OFF AND OVERFILLS EVERYTIME FILLED UP

TURN SIGNAL STOPS AND EVEN BLINKS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

DASH IS STILL ILLUMINATED, RADIO TURNS ON BY ITSELF AND CAN'T LOCK DOORS WITH THE CAR TURN TO OFF POSITION AND KEY OUT OF IGNITION. CAR DOOR CONTINUES DINGING NOISE AS IF KEY IS IN POSITION. DRAINS THE BATTERY. WHEN YOU GIVE THE BATTERY A CHARGE THE CAR WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE BATTERY IS TOO WEAK. WE REPLACED THE BATTERY 3 TIMES IN ONE YEAR. CHRYSLER DEALER CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. THEY STATE THE ASPEN IS KNOWN TO HAVE DRAIN BATTERIES QUICKLY. YOU CAN DRIVE OVER A SMALL BUMP OR POT HOLE AND CAR WILL JUMP ACROSS THE ROAD. PLACED BRAND NEW TIRES AND CAR IS ALIGNED PERFECTLY BUT STILL MAKES THE CAR JUMP. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR WILL MOVE TO ANOTHER PERSON'S DRIVING LANE ON DUAL HIGHWAY WHEN HITTING A BUMP. THIS IS NOT SAFE FOR ANYONE AND SCARES MY FAMILY. ONE DAY, IF WE HIT A BUMP, I MIGHT SIDE SWIPE/CRASH INTO A PASSING CAR OR ROLLOVER OFF THE ROAD.

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS FULL, AND GETS GAS ALL OVER ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT FIAT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN....UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 10/13/15. *JB

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.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHIFTS FROM AWD TO 4 LOCK OR 4 LOW. USUALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. TRANSFER CASE MAY ALSO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL. WHEN BACKING OR TURNING SHARPLY, AS IN PARKING, IS THE MOST LIKELY TIME OF OCCURRENCE. TRANSFER CASE ALSO SHIFTS WHEN USING THE KEY FOB TO LOCK/UNLOCK DOORS WHILE VEHICLE IS OFF AND PARKED. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT AFTER BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND WAS UNABLE TO GET TO TRAFFIC SPEED DUE TO RANDOM SHIFT TO LOW RANGE. VEHICLE HAS ALSO SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AFTER PARKING, CAUSING IT TO ROLL ON SLIGHTLY INCLINED DRIVEWAY, NEARLY DRAGGING ME AND/OR STRIKING MY CHILDREN WHO WERE IN THE DRIVEWAY.

STILL WAITING ON THE LETTER FROM CHRYSLER ABOUT THE RECALL... CALLED THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND THEY WANT TO KEEP MY CAR ALL DAY. THE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HOUSING MAY RUPTURE, DUE TO EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE, DURING NORMAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS. THIS CONDITION IS MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH LEVELS OF ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENTS, COULD RESULT IN METAL FRAGMENTS STRIKING AND POTENTIALLY SERIOUSLY INJURING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT(S).

WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, IT NEVER CUT OFF AND SPRAYED GASOLINE ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS MYSELF. IT STARTED FEB 2015 AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE PUMPED GAS INTO THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN. *TR

WHILE FILLING UP THE TANK, THE NOZZLE SHUT OFF BUT THE FUEL (2 CUPS) VIOLENTLY FLOWED OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE TOWARDS ME. *TR

FUEL GUSHED OUT OF THE TANK AND SPRAYED OVER THE SUV AND MYSELF AT THE GAS STATION WHEN I WAS REFUELING MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL THE GAS, ONCE THE PUMP STOPS AND THE TANK IS FULL ABOUT 1/2 GALLON OF GAS COMES BACK UP AND OUT OF THE FILL HOLE. SPILLING DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND OUT ONTO THE GROUND. THIS APPEARS TO BE A REGULAR PROBLEM WITH THESE. THEY DID A RECALL ON THE JEEP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN REFUELING THE PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN IT IS FULL, BUT AT LEAST A GALLON OF GASOLINE SPRAYS OUT ALL OVER THE GROUND AND AUTO. THE PUMP CLICKS OFF WHEN IT IS FULL, BUT THEN THE GASOLINE STARTS POURING OUT. *TR

I HAD TO HAVE THE RIGHT TIE ROD REPLACED. CAR VIBRATED AT SPEEDS OF 65 TO 70 MPH. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART LOOKED TO BE DEFECTIVE. *TR

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND AT FIRST FUEL FILL-UP GAS SPEWED OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILL-UP. I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND I WAS HOLDING GAS LEVER MYSELF. AS IT SHUT OFF, A TON OF FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

GAS WILL SPEW FROM THE TANK WHEN FILLING THE TANK. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF CORRECTLY BUT GAS COMES RUSHING OUT, EVEN IF NOT COMPLETELY FILLED. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL THIS FUEL TANK, IT SPILLS BACK OUT WHEN THE AUTO CUTOFF ENGAGES. IT EVEN SPILLED BACK WHILE DOING IT BY HAND! CAN ANYONE SAY STATIC IGNITION? I AM ALSO REPLACING A FUEL PUMP FOR THE SECOND TIME!. *TR

POWER STEERING HOSE BLEW OUT! IT IS ROUTED TO CLOSE TO A PULLY. I REPLACED IT WITH A MARINE GRADE HOSE FROM HOME DEPOT JUST TO GET HOME SAFELY. I THEN BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD, "THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE CARS ON THE ROAD WITH NO PROBLEM LIKE THIS. BAD LUCK FOR YOU I GUESS" . *TR

WHEN I PUT FUEL INTO THE GAS TANK A LARGE AMOUNT OF GASOLINE GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE TANK AFTER I AM FINISHED FUELING. THIS CAUSES GASOLINE TO SPLASH BACK ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE, THE GROUND AND OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, AND DOES NOT MATTER HOW SLOW OR HOW FAST I FILL THE TANK. IT HAPPENS AFTER THE PUMP HAS STOPPED FILLING AND IS TURNED OFF AND REMOVING THE NOZZLE. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY TURN OFF, OR IF YOU SHUT OF THE FUEL PUMP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER REFUELING, GASOLINE FUEL WOULD SPRAY OUT OF THE FILLER NECK HAPHAZARDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL TANK INLET VALVE. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

VEHICLE HAS BEEN OVERFLOWING GAS AT THE END OF FILLUP. THE PUMP SHUTS OFF AS IT SHOULD, BUT THEN GAS OVERFLOWS OUT. WE ARE NOT TOPPING OFF - THIS HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP. THIS AT FIRST HAPPEN PERIODICALLY, BUT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME, NO MATTER WHERE I AM FILLING UP. I AM NOT OVER FILLING THE VEHICLE BY ANY MEANS, IN FACT I CAN SLOW THE PUMP DOWN TO A DRIBBLE AND IT WILL STILL "BURP" OUT FUEL ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND LEAVING A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GROUND. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE DELT WITH BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS PERSONALLY THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE READ THAT MANY MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. *TR

WHILE REFUELING FUEL WILL DISCHARGE OUT OF FILLER TUBE WHEN TANK GETS NEAR FULL, THIS WILL HAPPEN IF THE AUTO SHUT OFF IS USED OR IF IT IS OPERATED MANUALLY. THE FUEL WILL SPRAY UP TO 3' AWAY FROM VEHICLE AND COVER ANYTHING IN GENERAL AREA. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE FAILED, CAUSING FUEL TO BE PROJECTED ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. ..UPDATED 01/30/13 *BF UPDATED 2/4/2013 *JS

STARTING AT AROUND 85,000 MILES OR SO DURING FILLING OF THE GAS TANK, JUST BEFORE THE FUEL HANDLE SHUT OFF ENGAGES, AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FUEL LITERALLY GUSHES BACK FROM THE FUEL TANK, SOAKING THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN A HALF GALLON TO A GALLON OF FUEL. WE HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, MANUALLY FILLING UP THE TANK, AND EVEN NOT COMPLETELY FILLING UP THE TANK ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT - ALOT OF GAS DUMPING BACK OUT ONTO PEOPLE, THE TRUCK, AND THE GROUND. GIVEN THAT GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, AND THAT IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT SPARKS FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY AND CELL PHONES CAN EASILY IGNITE VAPORS, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH MANY CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (JEEP, DURANGO, AND ASPEN, MAINLY), AND CHRYSLER HAS INSTITUTED A RECALL ON VERY VERY LIMITED VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE 2007 ASPENS AND DURANGOS, AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE VEHICLES, SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK, WHICH IS COST PROHIBITIVE FOR MANY PEOPLE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SERIOUS FIRES AND/OR FATALITIES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. DO WE REALLY NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION? NO OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH AS MUCH REGULARITY AS CHRYSLER HAS. GIVEN THE TRAGIC EVENTS THAT HAVE UNFOLDED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THE LAST THING I WANT TO

TURN SIGNALS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACTIVATED. RIGHT SIGNAL SEEMS TO WORK OKAY WHEN ACTIVATED BUT RIGHT SIGNAL LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WHEN STALK IS PUSHED DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN. TRYING TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN CAN ALSO RESULT IN NO SIGNAL LIGHT AT ALL. THIS CAN CONFUSE OTHER DRIVERS AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES ON LANE CHANGES AND AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN TURNING LEFT. SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY COLD TEMPERATURES AND AT THE PRESENT TIME GOES AWAY AFTER CAR IS WARMED FOR 15-20 MINUTES. CHRYSLER FORUMS HAVE INDICATED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM ON ASPENS. NO RECALLS ISSUED YET. *TR
