2007 Chrysler Aspen 4X2

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN FUEL TANK OVERFLOWS AT FILL UP SPILLING A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF FUEL DOWN THE VEHICLE AND POOLING ON THE GROUND. THIS RELEASES AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF FUEL VAPORS AND PRESENTS A LARGE GASOLINE FIRE HAZARD. THIS HAPPENS AT EVERY FILL UP AND REGARDLESS OF OCTANE, TIME OF DAY, OR AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK ON FILL UP. I BOUGHT THIS USED ASPEN TWO DAYS AGO AND NO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HOPEFULLY CHRYSLER WILL OWN UP TO THE ISSUE. *KB

1.NOTHING OBVIOUS LEADING UP TP THE INCIDENT 2.WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE TO THE POINT OF THE AUTO SHUT OFF, THE VEHICLE WILL BURP FUEL OUT OF THE FILL RESERVOIR. AT EVERY FILL UP, IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING FULL TANK FILLS. WE DO NOT KEEP FILLING AFTER THE AUTO SHUT OFF GETS TRIGGERED. 3.DEALER SAYS IT'S A BAD CHECK VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHICH IS STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION. A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS THE ONLY OPTION. 4.THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR VERY SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL ISSUE WITH IT'S SISTER TRUCK 2005 DODGE DURANGO... *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X2. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE TO ALMOST FULL, AT LEAST ONE QUART OF FUEL WOULD SPILL FROM THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN 2010 AND THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE SINCE PURCHASE. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE DEALER OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS RELATIVE TO THE FAILURE. HE THEN CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL EVERYTIME. ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME FLYING BACK OUT. THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ON TO ME, THE FUEL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, FUEL STILL COMES SPLASHING/SPEWING BACK OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ASPEN OWNERS TO GET THE FUEL PROBLEM RESOLVED???? SAFETY FIRST! *TR

MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND "GASCAP" WORDING KEEPS COMING ON MY 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. HAVE REPLACED GASCAP WITH CHRYSLER PART. HAVE RESET COMPUTER CODES SEVERAL TIMES. EACH TIME, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BUT 2-3 DAYS LATER COME BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED A SENSOR AND RESET CODES. 2 DAYS LATER, LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER NOW SAYS MY FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO A CRACK CAUSING A LEAK! THE VEHICLE HAS 43K MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO ME- I KNOW THAT THE DURANGOS AND ASPENS HAVE HAD LOTS OF FUEL TANK PROBLEMS AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY A 2007 WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES SHOULD HAVE ANY FUEL TANK PROBLEMS! UNSAFE! THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $780 TO FIX. UNFORTUNATELY, BEING UNEMPLOYED, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. HOPE A FIRE DOESN'T START IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

WE RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. EVERYTIME WE FILL UP AT THE PUMP IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF AND SPRAYS FUEL EVERYWHERE. THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS MODEL, BUT THEY DO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME YEAR DURANGO'S. ALL OVER THE INTERNET I HAVE READ OF THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY GAS TANK AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. MINE IS NOT IN WARRANTY AND I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A SEVER SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARD. *TR
