2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4 Fuel System, Gasoline Problems

WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS FULL, AND GETS GAS ALL OVER ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT FIAT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN....UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 10/13/15. *JB

JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND AT FIRST FUEL FILL-UP GAS SPEWED OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILL-UP. I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND I WAS HOLDING GAS LEVER MYSELF. AS IT SHUT OFF, A TON OF FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR

JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHEN FUELING TO FILL, GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OVERFLOWS OUT, SPLASHING SKIN, CLOTHING, GAS CAP AND PAVEMENT. ADDITIONAL GAS GOES ON HAND WHEN CLOSING GAS CAP. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD, NOT TO MENTION ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. NOT "TOPPING OFF", JUST ALLOWING PUMP TO SHUT OFF, WHICH IT DOES. THE GAS ONLY OVERFLOWS OUT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND WAS EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO PUT THE NOZZLE IN TOO FAR. HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HERE. WHY IS THERE NO OFFICIAL RECALL? *TR

FUEL SPILLS OUT ALL OVER DURING FILLUP NO MATTER WHAT GAS STATION OR HOW YOU TRY TO FILL IT. PUMP SHUT OFF KICKS IN BUT GAS STILL POURS OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE. IT'S DIFFICULT TO EVEN TRY TO STOP FUELING BEFORE THE TANK FILLS UP. HAVE TRIED SLOWING DOWN THE RATE OF DELIVERY, CHANGING ANGLE OF PUMP. NOTHING PREVENTS THIS. THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM, NOT CONSUMER NEGLIGENCE. WHAT'S MOST SHOCKING IS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM ON DURANGO'S AND ASPEN'S (SIMILAR VEHICLE) FOR YEARS AND CHRYSLER STILL HASN'T FIXED IT. THERE ARE POSTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ON THIS. IT IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY DURING A ROLLOVER (WHICH I HAVE BEEN IN ONCE IN THE PAST). WE HAVE ARE A FAMILY OF SIX AND IT MAKES ME SICK TO THINK MY FAMILY'S SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY WITH THIS VEHICLE. COME ON CHRYSLER - THIS IS NEARLY A $50,000 VEHICLE BRAND NEW. STAND UP AND TAKE OWNERSHIP FOR YOUR MISTAKE AND QUIT BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE LIKE FUEL MANUFACTURES FOR ETHANOL ETC. ETHANOL WAS IN FUEL LONG BEFORE THIS VEHICLE AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE MANUFACTURED. YOU MOST LIKELY HAVE A BAD SUPPLIER - MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT INSTEAD OF THOSE WHO ARE FUTURE VEHICLE BUYERS. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPIT BACK ONTO THE CONTACT WHEN REFUELING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,500.

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN THAT I CAN NO LONGER FILL THE GAS TANK WITHOUT FUEL SPLASHING OUT OF THE FILL PIPE NEAR THE END OF FILLING. I STARTED THE COMPLAINT IN DEC, 2009 WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE ROLLOVER VALVE AFTER KEEPING IT OVERNIGHT. I DON'T DRIVE IT AROUND LOCALLY VERY OFTEN SO THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE A LOT BETWEEN HIGHWAY TRIPS. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER WHILE ON A TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. I'VE ASKED THE DEALER ABOUT IT BUT GET BLANK LOOK AS THOUGH THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF THAT KIND OF A PROBLEM BEFORE. APPARENTLY, AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS DANGEROUS TO ME (AFTER IT SPLASHED ON ME THE FIRST TIME IT DID IT). SINCE THEN, I'VE LEARNED TO STAND CLEAR OR CUT OFF THE FUELING SHORT OF A FILL. *TR

I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4WD LTD. I AM EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING PROBLEM: GAS OVERFLOWING FROM THE TANK DURING A FILL-UP. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY 2011 WHILE FILLUP THE TANK AFTERWORK. AT FIRST I THOUGHT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVE @ THE PUMP I WAS USING OR THAT I WAS DOING SOMETHING WRONG @ THE PUMP)LIKE FORCING A FUEL TOP-OFF); BUT APPROX 1 WK LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED BUT @ A DIFFERENT GAS STATION. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE UNKNOWN AFFECTS OF DIRECT CONTACT ON THE SKIN & THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING BURNT. ON 2/15/11, I WAS FILLING UP GAS @ THE HESS STATION & A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS WAS EXPELLED FROM THE TANK GETTING ALL OVER MY HAND, AND JACKET SLEEVE, THE LATEST INCIDENT OCCURRED YESTERDAY (3/13/11). AFTER YESTERDAY'S INCIDENT I DECIDED TO DO SOME INVESTIGATING ON THE INTERNET & LEARNED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY CHRYSLER ASPEN / DODGE DURANGO OWNER WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PLAN TO CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM TOMORROW (3/15/11) NOW THAT I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN SPILLS GAS OUT AT EVERY FILL UP, UNLESS I STOP THE NOZZLE IN TIME. IT SHOOTS ABOUT 1/2 A GALLON OF GAS BACK AT ME. CHRYSLER WANTS ME TO PAY $800 FOR A NEW TANK. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR 3-4 MONTHS STARTING AROUND NOVEMBER. *TR

PURCHASED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN AT A LOCAL DEALER IN JAN , HAVE HAD VEHICLE 3 WEEKS AND NOW IN SHOP DUE TO GASOLINE SPILLAGE WHEN FILLING TANK. ALL 3 TIMES FILLED THE TANK GAS SPLASHED BACK ALL OVER MY CLOTHES AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS MAKING ME PAY FOR A GAS TANK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ,I PURCHASED OVER $3000 OF WARRANTIES AND WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS COVERED FROM FRONT TO BACK AND TOP TO BOTTOM AND NOW I AM INFORMED THE TANK IS NOT COVERED . THE TANKS WILL COST ME $800.00 AND I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS WHEN IT WAS A DEFAULT . IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAS BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS HAPPENING AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE REASONS THE PREVIOUS OWNERS TURNED THE VEHICLE BACK IN FOR A TRADE. I WAS TOLD I COULD IF I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE TANK , I COULD CONSIDER NEVER TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, YEAH RIGHT! I HAVE NOT HAD TO MAKE MY FIRST PAYMENT YET ON THE VEHICLE UNTIL FEB 22,2011. I REALLY THINK I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A DIRTY DEAL. *TR

DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN GAS TANK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING ROLLOVERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FILL UP WHICH GOES DOWN VEHICLE AND ALL OVER PERSON FUELING.

I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUNCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN GAS TANK OVERFLOWS WHENEVER I TRY TO FILL IT UP. . THE PUMP SHUTS OFF , BUT THEN GAS OVERFLOWS OUT. I DO NOT TOP OFF IT JUST HAPPENS WITH THE FIRST SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SAID THEY TESTED IT AND IT IS FINE. HAVE SEEN OTHER POSTS ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS WHERE OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR
