2008 chrysler aspen. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle fuel system problems. *smd the consumer stated on february 10, 2011 the vehicle caught on fire and exploded without warning. At the time of the fire, her daughter was waiting in the truck and noticed smoke coming from the front of the vehicle, but assumed it was coming from the exhaust. Then she started to smell something, so she exited the vehicle and saw flames coming from under the vehicle. The consumer stated there was no indication that something was wrong. According to the police and fire report, the fire was attributed to flammable liquid, gas from the engine or burned. The consumer did some research and came across several complaints relating to the fuel system.
The problem started off with everytime I pump gas and fill the tank, as soon as you remove the pump the gas spews out all over the place. This happened several times at several different gas stations. Suddenly on april 30, 2015 the truck died and would not start. It will cut on and attempt to start but would not stay on. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership and was told that the fuel pump is bad. Funny thing you can't seem to find the fuel pump almost anywhere!!! The chrysler manufacturer and mopar parts do not have this particular one needed in stock. This seems to be a problem with many of the chrysler aspen and the manufacturer should do a recall on this issue!!!
My 2008 chrysler aspen has an issue with the fuel tank. When filling the tank, the pump will shut off and gas will come squirting out of tank. This has happened at many different pumps and different gas stations. It seems dangerous to have gas spilling out. It seems to be a common issue for chrysler and should be addressed. I contacted chrysler and was told there is no recall for this issue. Any service on gas tank would be customers cost. Not covered in warranty.
Three times now car has stalled while stopped following full refueling of tank... We did research on line... Is this similar to the federal safety agency action number : pe13016? Dealer "knew" what the problem was, fixed it at our cost but said there was no recall on the aspen like the 300.
When I put fuel in my vehicle it stalls within 5 minutes. It does it once and then doesn't do it again until I fill up the next time. If I fill it before it gets below a half tank it doesn't seem to do it. The problem is I don't always remember to do that and I am worried that the next time it stalls I will be in the middle of an intersection. I have seen where other chryslers with v8 hemi engines are covered under warranty but chrysler told me that my vehicle is not. The same problem should be covered by the same extended warranty!
Gas spews out of the tank when filling up. It spews up to 1/2 gallon of gas everywhere. It seems to have a defect with air flow.
I was refilling the gas tank at a gas station. Immediately after the gas hose "clicked off" (when the tank was full), a very large amount of gas gushed out of the fuel filler neck past the hose nozzle, back-flowing from the fuel tank. I was standing in front of the fuel filler opening, holding the hose nozzle handle, and was splashed with gas. In my estimation the amount of gasoline spilled directly on me was at least one-half of a gallon. The front of my pants were entirely soaked, my gloves and the lower third of my coat were also splashed. I changed my clothes as soon as practical, fortunately, I was not injured (though having the skin of my legs and right hand temporarily soaked with gasoline, it's hard to be certain). I called my local chrysler dealer and learned that there was a tsb issued for this defect (number 14-001-12). In my opinion the decision to allow this issue to be addressed with a tsb rather than a safety recall was a profound error in judgment. Updated 02/27/14
