Failing lifters and camshaft which is happening to over 5000 separate owners across the united states. The lifters and camshaft fail no matter how well you keep up your maintenance. I had the cam and lifters replaced twice once at 98000 miles by Chrysler and now I need them replaced again at 195000 miles which very common with owners of this engine.
My four wheel drive automatically engages. Dealer wants me to spend money on parts and are only guessing that those parts will fix the problem. Not once have they checked the wiring. The engagement happens when stationary (unlocking the car). Sometimes when I turn at very low speeds. The lights come one when driving high speed but nothing happens. The following lights turn 4wheel service, electronic stability. I feel it is a wiring problem.

On 18 November 2010 around 6 pm, my vehicle was parked in the driveway of my home approximately three feet from the garage entrance. To move the vehicle into the garage for the night, I got in the vehicle, closed the door, stepped on the brake, let off the emergency brake, started it, put the transmission in d, let off the brake, and did not touch the gas pedal. The engine immediately cycled up to 4000 rpm, and the vehicle immediately started moving forward. I then hit the brake to no effect on speed. The vehicle proceeded through the garage, impacted my steel workbench/tool container, went through the back wall and the front end impacted the ground seven feet below the garage dropoff and the engine turned off. The air bags did not deploy. I removed the key and got out of the vehicle. My neighbors witnessed the event as the vehicle drove out the back of the garage. Fortunately I was not injured, but went to the emergency room at ft belvoir amc. Since I have owned this vehicle, we have experienced a hole in the ac compressor, flickering of the drivers side foot well light, loss of ignition while driving and when the transmission is placed in r it would fall out of gear. All were reported over the last three years at Chrysler dealers in CA, ms and va. I reported this to Chrysler late November and received a letter back on 17 December from Chrysler customer claims resolution group stating the found no problems with the vehicle that may have contributed to this accident. I found online that Chrysler had vehicles recalled in 2007 that had accelerator problems and the accelerators were made by the same supplier that made the Toyota ones. . Read more...
2007 Chrysler Aspen (with only 4000 miles) began making a loud grinding noise when switching from drive, neutral, reverse, etc. I took the vehicle in to the dealership on a Tuesday afternoon. After a 1 1/2 hour wait the service representative advises me that they took a look at the vehicle and it is making a loud unusual noise when the vehicle is placed in gear. The service representative advises me that I need to bring the vehicle back later in the week and leave it with them - because they are going to have to take it apart to find out what the problem is. I return on Thursday morning drop off the vehicle at 7:30 am and at about 3:31pm the service representative calls me and advises me that the vehicle has been repaired - they adjusted the "slack adjuster" and tightened some of the bolts on the shaft and put it back together. When I arrive at the dealership to pick up my vehicle, the service order stated that they tested 2 other vehicles (the same make, year, and model) and that all the vehicles make the same noise - no repairs needed. Either the service representative told me a story or the technician is telling a story. I was very much concerned when I read the service order. The question is what was done to the vehicle? what was wrong with it? of course I had to speak to another service representative because the one that I was dealing with had left for the day and so had the service manager. When I advise the service representative of what I had been told and what the service order stated. He apologized and stated there was nothing he could do, because he had not handled the service order. He stated unfortunately they had, several customer complaints about the loud unusual noise and that Chrysler had been notified, but at the present moment Chrysler had no resolution on how to fix the problem and until they came up with a resolution there was nothing they could do. I drove the vehicle home and it still made the same noise ? nothing was repaired.
