I PURCHASED A 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN HYBRID WITH ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON IT. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE TIE ROD ENDS HAVE FAILED THREE TIMES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE VEHICLE WILL RANDOMLY STALL OUT OR QUICKLY ACCELERATE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND PUT ME, MY FAMILY, AND OTHERS NOT HE ROAD AT RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY. IT HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AND WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC OUT OF PARKING LOTS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHRYSLERS CUSTOMER CARE DEPARTMENT AND TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT SINCE MAY OF THIS YEAR. THEIR APPROACH HAS BEEN TO PLACE A DATA RECORDER IN THE VEHICLE AND HAVE ME DRIVE IT - AGAIN PUTTING ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD AT RISK. WHILE THE DATA RECORDER WAS IN THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE 3 FAILURES. UNFORTUNATELY THE DATA RECORDER ALSO FAILED AND DID NOT CAPTURE ANYTHING. I HAVE ATTACHED AS MANY OF THE SERVICE RECORDS AS I COULD. THERE ARE MORE THOUGH. I ALSO HAVE VIDEOS OF THE FAILURES.

NHTSA received a petition on or about July 18, 2022, requesting that Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the United States. The petition can be reviewed at NHTSA.gov under ODI Number 11486072. FMVSS 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 KG or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after March 1, 2021.On January 27, 2023, NHTSA opened Defect Petition (DP) 22-005 to evaluate the subject matter described in the petition. On June 24, 2023 and as supplemented on June 25, 2023, the petitioner notified NHTSA he was withdrawing his petition. The petitioner indicated that, based on his review of data, there is no justification for asserting potential benefits that could be derived from actions sought by my petition. Based on the petitioner's withdrawal, DP22-005 is closed. Closure of this DP does not represent a determination by NHTSA regarding the subject matter of the petition.
