2008 Chrysler Aspen owner complaints

My Air bag light will not go out. Not sure what the problem is, cleaned all contracts in the connectors and seat belts and connectors under the seats. Check for a blown fuse. Could not find any bad fuses.

My vehicle recall was sent out about 4 months ago and the manufacturer still does not have replacement parts sent to the dealers to install--why?

When filling up the gas tank of my 2008 Chrysler aspen, at the end of the fill up, gas shoots out of the gas tank. About 7-10 oz shoots out after every fill up. I am not topping off the gas tank, I am just allowing it to stop automatically. Gas shoots out over the vehicle and onto the ground. This is a very dangerous situation that seems to be happening on many Chrysler aspens according to a internet search. I know Chrysler had a similar recall on their durango model. *tr

For the past several months, our 2008 Chrysler aspen with 37,000 miles has been spilling fuel at the end of each refueling. The pump shuts off as it should, and then fuel spills out. I would estimate that approximately 5-7 ounces of fuel spill out each time this occurs. I did some research, and learned that there was a recall on the fuel tank of the 2005 Dodge durango (same vehicle - ours is rebadged as a Chrysler). The recall language stated "fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fueled to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling." this is exactly what seems to be occurring on our 2008 model. The pump shuts off, but fuel then follows and spills out. *tr

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. *tr

Massive fuel spit back on my Chrysler aspen. At first it was just a little bit (almost like a sneeze) but now it is vomiting gas at every fill-up. We have used different gas stations...giant & 2 different wawa stations, all with the same result. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler aspen. While refueling the vehicle, fuel spewed out of the filler neck and the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,000.

I saw where several other people has complaints about when you fill up with gas after the nozzle clicks it sprays gas out, I have had my aspen a little over a year and it does the same thing, I think that is a defect that Chrysler needs to fix, it is very dangerous for gas to spray out everywhere and it is not just one aspen that has this problem, it is several. *tr

2008 Chrysler aspen direction signal will switch from left to right during a turn. It is intermittent at this time. *tr

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.

While driving, the vehicle intermittently slipped into 4-wheel drive low. Vehicle immediately became hard to steer/move in this condition, dangerous to drive as the vehicle's handling could change at any moment... At any speed.

After filling the fuel tank, the motor shuts off while driving down the road. It used to only happen when you go past the first "click" of the gas pump. Today it did it by just filling the tank to first shut off. This leaves you with no steering, no brakes and no power while going down the road. This is dangerous on several levels. This happened while the vehicle was moving down a four lane road in moderate traffic with five passengers-two infants, two children and one adult.

Tl* the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler aspen. While attempting to brake at a low speed ,the brake pedal became hard and did not stop the vehicle. The current and failure mileages were 18,800. Updated 01/29/10 *bf the dealer could not find anything wrong with the brakes. Updated 01/29/10. The consumer crashed into a condo garage

Suddenly acceleration. This has happen 4 times while braking. Major damage was sustained to the vehicle when it was involved in a collision. Do not remember if the cruise control was during the times the sudden acceleration was experienced. Was going around 5 '' 10 MPH stepped on brake to stop and engine rev''ed up and before I was ale to turn key off or put the transmission in neutral I hit a camper. The first time this happened I was on an isolated road and was able to stop the car without incident. I call the Chrysler dealer and was told there was nothing that they could check that would verify my complaint. Another time was on highway and applied the brakes and tach went to approx. 4000 RPM. Again I was able to put off the road safely. *tr

I recently bought my chrystler aspen and as I was driving down the road I noticed a clunk on the rear end. I checked to make sure the spare tire or muffler wasn't loose and even took it to a local shop where we found a bolt located right at the rear differential that appears to be loose causing that clunking noise. I went online to see if any other chrystler owners had the same issue and found out that there has been certain Dodge and chrystler vehicles affected and even recalled for this same issue. I also read online that driving with that bolt being loose could damage the differential and cause it to lock up make the whole truck to stop very suddenly causing the driver to loose control of the vehicle. I called 2 different local dealerships and explained the issue and asked them if my ve
