2008 Chrysler Aspen fuel system problems

Filed May 7, 2024 · Fuel system · NC

When adding fuel, there is a splash back and gasoline spews out and onto who ever is fueling the vehicle. Then when you start the car and drive a few minutes, the car will stall. This vehicle is available for inspection opon request. This issue puts many people in danger. The fueler getting splashed with gasoline, absorbs fuel into their skin, and also the smell of the fumes when entering back into the vehicle. The fueler also now has a very combustible liquid on them. Which is a fire hazard. Also gas spilling is horrible for the enviroment. When stalling, that creates a very hazardous enviroment for everyone in the vehicle, as well as the vehicles around them. A wreck could easily occur because of this issue. The issue has not been inspected by a dealer yet. No warning lamps or messages appeared. And i am uncertain of when the problem began.

After filling the gas tank, the car will stall out randomly without warning. Stalling out will occur for about 25 to 35 miles. After that the stalling out disappears. This has happen while I was turning which made steering difficult. It also has happen when stopping which cause the braking to become difficult.

When refueling, the gas will overflow after just a few seconds (2-3 gallons of fuel added to empty tank). The fuel handle will shut off and only allow a few ML of fuel to be added to the tank. I must refil tank by holding gas handle and allowing only a trickle of fuel into the tank. Even with this SLOW refil, the fuel often overflows and spills onto the ground (and onto me). This problem began around 120000 miles. This is a continuous, persistent problem. VERY DANGEROUS Internet search indicates that this is a COMMON problem (https://www.chryslerforum.com/forum/chrysler-aspen-41/gas-overflow-fillup-10491/page3/)

Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up the fuel tank. The vehicle gives no check engine light or provides any obd codes to pinpoint the problem. The vehicle stalls both while in motion and when stationary, when in motion all power assist is lost including the power steering and braking assist. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle now after nearly getting into a traffic collision when the vehicle stalled while driving through an intersection and she lost all power assist with our two children in the vehicle. The vehicle will sometimes immediately restart and run for a short period of time then stall again or will just crank and fail to start. This problem only seems to occur after fueling up and topping off the fuel tank. Once the fuel tank burns off some of the fuel it seems to run just fine.

I've been having this truck for a little over 5 months and every time I fill it up it never stops pumping when full. It spits gas out when it is full. I try to watch how many gallons I'm putting in it so I can stop it myself before it gets full but sometimes I don't catch it. It never clicks or stops on its own. I know my truck is 11 yrs old but this shouldn't be happening.

2008 chrysler aspen stalls for approximately first 5 miles after refueling. Mil illuminates (codes are for p0455 and p0456) then clears by itself after a few days. After researching, I have discovered that the problem is the orvr valve malfunction, this is documented numerous times on many websites throughout the internet. This leads to the evap canister malfunctioning (http://opensiuc.lib.siu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1006&context=auto_pres). This is not only a failure of the emission control system, but also a safety concern since the vehicle stalls, which it always does when slowing or stopping after fill-up. Because the vehicle will lose power steering and power brake ability, I can no longer let my wife or children operate this vehicle as it has become a safety concern. This vehicle and other related vehicles (dodge durango, ram 1500, and others) should be recalled at once to have this issue addressed before injuries occur, if in fact they already haven't. This has been happening the my vehicle since december 2016 but has last happened in march 2018 (now).
