SUV STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. OFTEN IT WILL REQUIRE MULTIPLE CYCLES OF STARTING AND STALLING BEFORE IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE MORE SEVERE IN COLD WEATHER. THE SUV HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ADDITIONALLY GAS WILL SPLASH OUT DURING FUELING.
FOR NO KNOWN REASON MY 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4 WILL ENGAGE ON ITS OWN, I HAVE REPEATEDLY TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH BY THE WAY IS HORRIBLE) THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS . HOWEVER SINCE I HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY THEY HAVE CLAIMED I NEED EVERY SINGLE PART COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY WITH NOT RESULTS. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP REGARDING THIS I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE TRUCK IN IMMEDIATELY AS THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT WHEN IT IS ENGAGED THE TRUCK WILL LOOSE POWER. IT ENGAGED WHILE I WAS ON THE FREEWAY DOING 70 MPH AND DROPPED INSTANTLY TO 20 MPH AND WOULD NOT GO OVER 35MPH. MY OVERHEAD CONSOLE, DASH AND RADIO AT RANDOM GO OUT. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP I NEEDED A NEW RADIO 3 TIMES EACH TIME THE RADIO WOULD START WORKING AGAIN FOR THE SAME REASON IT STOPPED, UNKNOWN. I TURN ON THE TURN SIGNAL THEY FLASH BETWEEN LEFT, RIGHT AND HAZARD.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.
TAKATA RECALL IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT, IN ALMOST A YEAR, NO REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO REMEDY THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUE! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME, WHICH I FEEL HAS LAPSED.

6 of 6 complaints, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
