29 problems related to tank assembly have been reported for the 2007 Chrysler Aspen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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?.
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.
Fuel gushes back out when the vehicle is filled. This problem did not appear until the vehicle was about four years old and had 36,000 miles. I have used multiple gas pumps and it is not fuel station related. Apparently, Chrysler is aware of this as a problem on the Aspen and the Dodge durango, as well as several Jeep models, as there are numerous forums and videos on the internet that show this problem to be widespread. I feel this problem constitutes a fire safety hazard for not only the operator but other service station customers nearby. Research indicates that the problem is caused by an inlet check valve failure in the fuel tank. When I spoke to the dealer, they acted as if they had never heard of this problem in any Chrysler vehicle, but said it might be happening on the Jeep liberty. They refused to order a replacement tank without me bringing the vehicle in and then filling it up with fuel so they could observe the problem. The service rep at the dealer also suggested that after they observed the problem, I should run the tank below half full to facilitate replacement. They said the cost of replacement would be at my expense.
Everytime I fill up with gas, the gas pump shuts off and then gas comes spraying out of the fuel tank door.
When filling my 2007 Chrysler Aspen I just bought 3/12/11 up with gas, the gas pump shuts off as it should when tank is full, then all of a sudden gas comes pouring back out. Tried three different gas stations still same result. Potential fire hazard and or explosion.

Gas is spewed back out of the gas tank at the end of filling it up, soaking side of vehicle and anyone standing directly in front of it. Dangerous! occurs everytime gas tank is filled up completely full. Nothing has been done- Chrysler will not fix.
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 dont 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.
Everytime I feel up the gas tank it spews out gas all over the place. I have a 2007 Aspen chyrsler.

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. This is a 2007 Chrysler Aspen. Very dangerous and could cause potential harm or even death.
After filling fuel tank, when gas pump shuts off, approximately one pint to a quart of gas gushes out of filler tube onto ground.

We recently purchased a 2007 Chrysler Aspen. Everytime we fill up at the pump it does not shut off and sprays fuel everywhere. There is no recall for this model, but they do have the same problem with the same year durango's. All over the internet I have read of this problem and Chrysler says it is a faulty gas tank and needs to be replaced. Mine is not in warranty and I strongly feel that this is a sever safety and fire hazard.

2007 Chrysler Aspen spills gas when filling tank. I have tried stopping the pump before it shuts itself off automatically, but gas still pours down the side of the vehicle and/or shoots back at me. This has now happened five times in a row at different gas stations. This is incredibly dangerous.
When filling up my vehicle, gas will spill out of the gas tank (approximately 1/8 gallon). My interior will fill up with gas fumes. This problem is ongoing and happens everytime that I fill up, regardless of how much gas is in my tank before fill up.

Severe fuel back splash when filling gas tank.
Chrysler Aspen 2007 model gas tank overflows every time I fill up.
1. Nothing obvious leading up tp the incident 2. When fueling the vehicle to the point of the auto shut off, the vehicle will burp fuel out of the fill resevoir. At every fill up, it only happenns during full tank fills. We do not keep filling after the auto shut off gets triggered. 3. Dealer says it's a bad check valve inside the fuel tank which is stuck in the open position. A fuel tank replacement is the only option. 4. There is a recall out for very similiar if not identical issue with it's sister truck 2005 Dodge durango. . .
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. Gas bubbles out all over truck and ground (and shoes if within reach). This happens 9 out of 10 times if I try to fill it. If I only put in 16-17 gallons we are fine (26 gallon tank). 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.
