The Chrysler Aspen was a full-size SUV produced from 2007-2009, essentially a rebadged Dodge Durango with Chrysler premium styling. With 576 complaints on record, the Aspen shares the Durango's platform issues while offering a slightly more upscale experience. The Hemi V8 provides strong performance, and the frame-based construction handles utility duties. Production was cut short by Chrysler's bankruptcy.

Chrysler Aspen Years to Avoid

The 2007 Aspen launch year has the most complaints, with TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) electrical issues, fuel pump failures, and window regulator problems. The 2008 model improved but shares TIPM concerns. All Aspens are affected by the TIPM issues that plagued Chrysler products during this period.

Best Chrysler Aspen Years

The 2006 production year does not exist for the Aspen (it launched in 2007), but if this refers to preference, the 2009 final year Aspen benefits from production refinements. However, the short production run limits differentiation between years. All Aspens require TIPM awareness.
