Incident date: Oct 15, 2024
There is a known issue where the transfer case motor will erratically fail causing multiple safety issues. The car is AWD with a 2 speed 4WD selector. The motor can shift into neutral on its own disabling the gear selectors Park function ( it is used when towing the vehicle and disconnects the trans
... mission from the drive train). It happened to me in a parking lot and fortunately it was on level ground or the car could have rolled away when I went into a store. I only discovered what had happened after I started the car and could not get it into forward or reverse. I turned the engine off and put the gear selector in Park, got out and I was able to move the car by pushing, after a Google search indicated it might be in neutral. I found a procedure online to remove the transfer case from neutral and it worked. There is a tiny hidden button on the 4WD selector panel to put the vehicle in neutral for towing and an extremely faint indicator light that come on when it is in towing neutral. The motor has intermittently started shifting in to 4WD and 4WD low on its own and then back to AWD. Again this is a known issue as there are literally hundreds of reports of people having to replace the motor. Also if the 4WD shifts into low at highway speeds it will cause catastrophic transmission failure and loss of vehicle control. Also reports of the system going into towing neutral at highway speeds causing potentially dangerous situations. Again this is not the shift lever neutral but the 4WD transfer case disengaging the entire drivetrain. I have had it shift into 4WD low (which locks all the differentials together and is only for off-road or snow) which made it extremely had to steer because of the lack of the differentials. Moving the selector switch did return the transmission to AWD and I was forced to park the car. It returned to normal after turning the car off and restarting it. This is a very common issue on Chrysler/Dodge vehicle with 4WD options and needs addressing.Read more

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.Read more

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 bec

... truck was fixed at Lander's Chrysler Dodge and Jeep in Southaven, MS about 2 years ago. It's now doing the same thing again. This has to be a defect of the truck because I have not had any other major problems. The first repair cost me over $2000 dollars. Because of the water leaks, my truck carries a molded smell. My doors have to be oiled for the rust. I have to use a towel to wrap the seat belt. The water stands in the floor on the driver's side floor board. Now, my check engine light, Eps light, traction light, and a clicking sound under the hood and heater malfunction persists. Please help! Please investigate.Read more

Air bag light on dash indicates not air bag not functioning properly
Incident date: Jul 25, 2021
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 thi
... s 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/)Read more

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 VEHICLE HAD A RECALL LIKE MANY OTHER SIMILAR MODELS HAD,BUT THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. I'M CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND MY FAMILY'S DUE TO MY TRUCK'S CONDITION AND I WOULD LIKE TO LET CHRYSTLER KNOW THIS POOR WORKMANSHIP COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS IF NOT FATAL ACCIDENT FOR ME AND MY FAMILY IF NOT RESOLVED.Read more

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 WEB
... SITES 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).Read more

WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER SEVERAL TIMES ASKING WHY THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS OR RECALLING THE VEHICLE BEFORE SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. THE BEST THEY COULD DO WAS GIVE US A CODE TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AT COST BUT GUESS WHAT. THERE IS NO DEALERSHIP THAT WILL TAKE MY CURRENT VEHICLE WITH A RECALL THAT CAN NOT BE FIXED AND RESALE IT.
