2007 Chrysler Aspen 4x4 complaints

AS WITH MANY OTHERS, I TOO HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM WITH GAS SPITTING OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FUELING MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. THIS HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY OVER THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF NO MATTER WHAT PRECAUTIONS I HAVE TRIED (STOPPING REPEATEDLY, ADJUSTING THE POSITION OF THE NOZZEL, ETC..). IT'S DANGEROUS, HARMFUL TO SKIN/CLOTHING/SHOES, COSTLY AND DOWNRIGHT EMBARRASSING. AFTER READING ON THE INTERNET HOW COMMON OF AN ISSUE THIS IS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER HAS NOT STOOD UP AND TAKEN ACTION ON THIS - OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE NOT LOOKING TO BUILD BRAND LOYALTY! *TT

JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHEN FUELING TO FILL, GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OVERFLOWS OUT, SPLASHING SKIN, CLOTHING, GAS CAP AND PAVEMENT. ADDITIONAL GAS GOES ON HAND WHEN CLOSING GAS CAP. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD, NOT TO MENTION ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. NOT "TOPPING OFF", JUST ALLOWING PUMP TO SHUT OFF, WHICH IT DOES. THE GAS ONLY OVERFLOWS OUT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND WAS EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO PUT THE NOZZLE IN TOO FAR. HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HERE. WHY IS THERE NO OFFICIAL RECALL? *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT ALL OVER DURING FILLUP NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR HOW YOU TRY TO FILL IT. PUMP SHUT OFF KICKS IN BUT GAS STILL POURS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S DIFFICULT TO EVEN TRY TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK FILLS UP. HAVE TRIED SLOWING DOWN THE RATE OF DELIVERY, CHANGING ANGLE OF PUMP. NOTHING PREVENTS THIS. THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM, NOT CONSUMER NEGLIGENCE. WHAT'S MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON DURANGO'S AND ASPEN'S (SIMILAR VEHICLE) FOR YEARS AND CHRYSLER STILL HASN'T FIXED IT. THERE ARE POSTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON THIS. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY DURING A ROLLOVER (WHICH I HAVE BEEN IN ONCE IN THE PAST). WE HAVE ARE A FAMILY OF SIX AND IT MAKES ME SICK TO THINK MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY WITH THIS VEHICLE. COME ON CHRYSLER - THIS IS NEARLY A $50,000 VEHICLE BRAND NEW. STAND UP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR MISTAKE AND QUIT BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE LIKE FUEL MANUFACTURES FOR ETHANOL ETC. ETHANOL WAS IN FUEL LONG BEFORE THIS VEHICLE AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE MANUFACTURED. YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A BAD SUPPLIER - MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT INSTEAD OF THOSE WHO ARE FUTURE VEHICLE BUYERS. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPIT BACK ONTO THE CONTACT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,500.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE NEAR THE END OF FILLING. I STARTED THE COMPLAINT IN DEC, 2009 WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ROLLOVER VALVE AFTER KEEPING IT OVERNIGHT. I DON'T DRIVE IT AROUND LOCALLY VERY OFTEN SO THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE A LOT BETWEEN HIGHWAY TRIPS. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHILE ON A TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT BUT GET BLANK LOOK AS THOUGH THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT KIND OF A PROBLEM BEFORE. APPARENTLY, AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME (AFTER IT SPLASHED ON ME THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT). SINCE THEN, I'VE LEARNED TO STAND CLEAR OR CUT OFF THE FUELING SHORT OF A FILL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY, FUEL WOULD SPEW OUT OF THE FILLER NECK AND ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY CHECK VALVE THAT WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 63,000.

WHEN FILLING MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN I JUST BOUGHT 3/12/11 UP WITH GAS, THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF AS IT SHOULD WHEN TANK IS FULL, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GAS COMES POURING BACK OUT. TRIED THREE DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS STILL SAME RESULT. POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND OR EXPLOSION. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4WD LTD. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: GAS OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK DURING A FILL-UP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY 2011 WHILE FILLUP THE TANK AFTERWORK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE @ THE PUMP I WAS USING OR THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG @ THE PUMP)LIKE FORCING A FUEL TOP-OFF); BUT APPROX 1 WK LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT @ A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNKNOWN AFFECTS OF DIRECT CONTACT ON THE SKIN & THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING BURNT. ON 2/15/11, I WAS FILLING UP GAS @ THE HESS STATION & A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WAS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK GETTING ALL OVER MY HAND, AND JACKET SLEEVE, THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (3/13/11). AFTER YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT I DECIDED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET & LEARNED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHRYSLER ASPEN / DODGE DURANGO OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TOMORROW (3/15/11) NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS OUT AT EVERY FILL UP, UNLESS I STOP THE NOZZLE IN TIME. IT SHOOTS ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS BACK AT ME. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $800 FOR A NEW TANK. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3-4 MONTHS STARTING AROUND NOVEMBER. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AT A LOCAL DEALER IN JAN , HAVE HAD VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND NOW IN SHOP DUE TO GASOLINE SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING TANK. ALL 3 TIMES FILLED THE TANK GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR A GAS TANK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ,I PURCHASED OVER $3000 OF WARRANTIES AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND TOP TO BOTTOM AND NOW I AM INFORMED THE TANK IS NOT COVERED . THE TANKS WILL COST ME $800.00 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT WAS A DEFAULT . IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR A TRADE. I WAS TOLD I COULD IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TANK , I COULD CONSIDER NEVER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, YEAH RIGHT! I HAVE NOT HAD TO MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL FEB 22,2011. I REALLY THINK I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DIRTY DEAL. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS WHEN FILLING TANK. I HAVE TRIED STOPPING THE PUMP BEFORE IT SHUTS ITSELF OFF AUTOMATICALLY, BUT GAS STILL POURS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND/OR SHOOTS BACK AT ME. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED FIVE TIMES IN A ROW AT DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS. THIS IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. *LN

AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF GAS SPILLS OUR OF THE FILLER NECK WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL MY GAS TANK ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4 A LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL SHOOTS OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FULL, SOAKING ANY AND EVERYTHING WITHIN 2 FEET OF THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. *TR

DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN GAS TANK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING ROLLOVERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FILL UP WHICH GOES DOWN VEHICLE AND ALL OVER PERSON FUELING. THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL HARM OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

IN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AS SOON AS THE PUMP STOPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK. THIS EVEN HAPPENS IF I FINISH THE FINAL FEW GALLONS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE FILL UPS AND ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SOME MONTHS AGO. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUNCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY. *TR

EVERYTIME I FEEL UP THE GAS TANK IT SPEWS OUT GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE A 2007 ASPEN CHYRSLER. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN OVERFLOWS AT THE GAS PUMP EVERYTIME. THIS CREATES A VERY BIG SAFETY HAZARD AT THE PUMP. *TR

MY TURN SIGNALS ARE MALFUNCTIONING IN MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN .WHEN I HIT IT TO LEFT, MANY TIMES IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY START BLINKING RIGHT. MANY TIMES WHEN IT IS BLINKING LEFT, IT WILL CHANGE AND JUST START BLINKING RIGHT WITH NO TOUCHING ANYTHING. MANY TIMES WHEN I HAVE IT BLINKING LEFT OR RIGHT, IT WILL STOP BLINKING AND NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL. I WOULD SAY 80% OR MORE OF THE TIMES IT DOES ONE OF THESE 3 THINGS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHENEVER I TRY TO FILL IT UP. . THE PUMP SHUTS OFF , BUT THEN GAS OVERFLOWS OUT. I DO NOT TOP OFF IT JUST HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP. GAS BUBBLES OUT ALL OVER TRUCK AND GROUND (AND SHOES IF WITHIN REACH). THIS HAPPENS 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES IF I TRY TO FILL IT. IF I ONLY PUT IN 16-17 GALLONS WE ARE FINE (26 GALLON TANK). NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SAID THEY TESTED IT AND IT IS FINE. HAVE SEEN OTHER POSTS ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING THE ESP/BAS, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS CHIME AND ILLUMINATE. CHRYSLER DEALER HAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE IS A SHORT IN THE CLOCKSPRING, AND ADVISED ME THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, AND/OR THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I HAD CLOCKSPRING REPLACED, AND YES I DO HAVE THE OLD PART THAT IS DEFECTIVE. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN IN PARSIPANNY, NJ. SHE WAS MERGING FROM 287S ONTO 80W AND TRAVELING ABOUT 35MPH. AS SHE WAS MERGING ONTO 80W THE DRIVER'S SIDE BALL JOINT ON THE STEERING LINKAGE COMPLETELY FAILED RESULTING IN A TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL. SHE MANAGED TO LIMP CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD AND CALLED MYSELF AND AAA TO HAVE CAR BROUGHT TO DEALER FOR SERVICE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFECT. THE CAR HAS APPROXIMATELY 64K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN REGULARLY SERVICED. SHE IS 7 MONTHS PREGNANT AND WE HAVE A 3.5 YEAR OLD SON. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES, TRAFFIC CONDITIONS, AND/OR SPEED WE ARE WAITING TO HEAR DEALERS/MANUFACTURERS RESPONSE AND SOLUTION.. *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT OF GAS TANK WHEN FILL UP GAS TANK AND PUMP SHUTS DOWN. DEALER REPLACED PARTS FOUR TIMES. NOW THE PUMP SHUTS DOWN ON MAX, CAN FILL UP GAS TANK ONLY WHEN SELECTING LOWER POSITION OF PUMP BUT IT DOES NOT SPILL OUT ANYMORE. *TR

FUEL SPILLS FROM FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS TOPPED OFF. HAPPENS WHEN TANK IS FILLED AND PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS HAZARD. HAS HAPPENED FOR LAST THREE MONTHS. *TR

FOR PAST 3 MONTHS FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM FILLER NECK ON 2007 ASPEN, AFTER PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS BEEN HAPPENING 100% OF THE TIME AT ANY GAS STATION. *TR

WHEN FILLING UP MY VEHICLE, GAS WILL SPILL OUT OF THE GAS TANK (APPROXIMATELY 1/8 GALLON). MY INTERIOR WILL FILL UP WITH GAS FUMES. THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING AND HAPPENS EVERYTIME THAT I FILL UP, REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH GAS IS IN MY TANK BEFORE FILL UP. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM GAS TANK ON 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AFTER STATION PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME AT ANY GAS STATION. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST 2 MONTHS. *TR

FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM GAS TANK ON 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AFTER STATION PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME AT ANY GAS STATION. PROBLEM IS NOT YET CORRECTED, APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER THIS WEEKEND. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEARS (FROM PARK TO REVERSE, REVERSE TO NEUTRAL, ETC.). *TR

1. I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER ASPEN IN 2007. 2. I TRIED TO INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW RIGHT WINDOW SEAT. DURING MY EFFORT TO SAFELY TIGHTEN THE SEAT A PLASTIC PORTION ON THE BUCKLE CRACKED. THE CRACKED PORTION OF THE SEATBELT IS WHAT PREVENTS THE BELT FROM GIVING SLACK WHEN A CHILD SEAT IS INSTALLED. THERE NOW WAS NOTHING FROM PREVENTING THE CHILD SEAT FROM MOVING PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE REPLACEMENT PART CRACKED AGAIN NOT AWARE OF HOW IT OCCURRED. THE BELT WAS NOW BEING UTILIZED AS A BOOSTER AND DID NOT HAVE TO BE MANUALLY TIGHTENED. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER THE BIRTH OF A NEW CHILD MY REAR RIGHT SEATBELT ALSO BROKE. THE SAME PLASTIC PART FAILED DURING INSTALLATION OF ANOTHER CAR SEAT UNDER MY PULLING TIGHTENING PRESSURE WHICH WOULD BE FAR LESS THAN STRESS FROM THE INERTIA OF AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD TWO NEW SEATBELTS ORDERED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY PART DESIGN AND POOR MATERIAL CHOICE AS OPPOSED TO A FAULTY PART. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE ALL MY KIDS WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE EVEN THE BELTS THAT HAVE NOT BROKEN YET ARE NOT SAFE. I ASKED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THESE DANGERS BUT THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT REFUSES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THREE FAILURES I ONLY GENERATED TWO REPORTS. IT'S DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE I WAITED FOR TWO BELTS TO BREAK BEFORE TAKI

AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A HEAD ON CRASH AT 65 MPH WITH A DEER. *TR

I HAVE ONLY HAD MY TRUCK FOR A YEAR AND FOUR MONTHS. THERE HAS BEEN AT LEAST 4 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK INTO REVERSE THE TRANSMISSION DEFAULTS TO NEUTRAL AND THE BOX AROUND THE "R" WOULD DISAPPEAR. THE OTHER DAY I WAS PUTTING MY TRUCK IN THE GARAGE AND I PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, I LOOKED BACK AND TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL, BEING THAT MY DRIVEWAY IS ON A SLOPE MY TRUCK STARTED COASTING DOWN THE HILL FAST. I TURNED AROUND TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND JUST IN TIME FROM HITTING MY HUSBAND. MY HEART FELL TO MY STOMACH. I ASKED HIM TO LOOK AT THE DASHBOARD SO HE COULD SEE THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN REVERSE. THE BOX THAT OUTLINES THE LETTERS TO SHOW WHICH GEAR YOU'RE IN WAS AROUND THE LETTER "R" FOR REVERSE THIS TIME. *TR

MY 2007 ASPEN 4X4 NOW HAS 35,000 MILES ON IT. RECENTLY THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR ON THE DASH PANEL HAS COME ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND DRIVING BETWEEN 1 AND 10 MILES DISTANCE. WHEN THE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND THEN RESTARTED, THE LIGHT GOES OUT. THIS IS REPEATABLE EVERYTIME THE CAR IS STARTED. ALSO, SINCE THIS CONDITION BEGAN, THE BRAKE HAS 1. REFUSED TO DISENGAGE AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKE (ONE TIME OCCURRENCE); 2. SUDDENLY BECOME EXTREMELY RESISTIVE WHEN BREAKING. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT CONDITION THAT HAS HAPPENED NOW 3 TIMES. WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE THE PEDAL DOES NOT INCREMENTALLY DEPRESS BUT BARELY MOVES DOWNWARDS AT ALL. BECAUSE THIS CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT THERE IS LITTLE TIME TO REACT AND PRESS DOWN ON THE PEDAL SUFFICIENTLY TO SLOW THE VEHICLE BEFORE REACHING A STOPLIGHT OR OTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT. (I HAD A NEAR ACCIDENT TODAY WHILE RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP A SECOND TIME FOR REPAIR.) THE CHRYSLER DEALER IN MY AREA FIRST INSPECTED MY BRAKING SYSTEM AND TOLD ME THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER JUST NEEDED TO BE TOPPED OFF. THE DEALER HAS JUST CALLED ME BACK (THE CAR IS THERE NOW) TO SAY THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. I'VE TOLD THEM THAT I CANNOT EXCEPT THAT ANSWER AND THEY REPLIED THAT THEY WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURERS REP FOR FURTHER TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE... *TR

I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT W/ MY 2007 CHYRSLER ASPEN MADE A RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR PROCEEDED STRAIGHT AND STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLES SIDE. I EXPERIENCED A LOSS OF STEERING DURING A RIGHT HAND TURN. THERE WAS A TRAIL OF POWER STEERING FLUID FROM THE POINT OF STEERING LOSS TO THE POINT OF IMPACT OF OTHER VEHICLE. AFTERWARDS BOTH WHEELS WERE POINTED INWARD AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE. THERE IS A RECALL ON CERTAIN ASPENS W/ THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT NOT MINE. I AM SEEKING PAYMENT FOR DAMAGES DONE TO MY VEHICLE. MY DEALERSHIP PAID FOR THE STEERING TO BE FIXED BUT NOT DAMAGES. THANK YOU JOE.... *TR
