general problems of the 2008 Chrysler Aspen

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 become difficult.

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.

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 this 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. . Read more...

While refueling when the fuel flow stops the first time on the nozzle ( I did not "top off" the tank) appx 1/4 of a gallon of gasoline burps out of the re fueling port when the tank vents.

I've been having this truck for a little over 5 months and every time I fill it up it never stops pumping when full. It spits gas out when it is full. I try to watch how many gallons I'm putting in it so I can stop it myself before it gets full but sometimes I don't catch it. It never clicks or stops on its own. I know my truck is 11 yrs old but this shouldn't be happening.

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 websites throughout the internet. . Read more...

Vehicle shut off for no apparent reason while entering onto an expressway. Loss of power steering made vehicle difficult to control to safely get onto the shoulder. Sudden loss of speed made the vehicle a further hazard. Once on the shoulder, the vehicle could be physically keyed off, then restarted without issue. Cause of failure is unknown.

When vehicle is filled up with gas, engine will either accelerate, stall out, or lose most of it power. After letting the engine run for more than 20 minutes it will go back to normal. This is a significant safety issue particularly when the engine stalls out with the potential of an accident.

Takata recall has not been changed and ive called several times to get it changed. Also im smelling gas on the inside of my truck and I have a two week old baby.

While drive the vehicle it jerked forward and then stalled loosing power almost causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me and the vehicle in back of me had to swerve in order to avoid hitting my vehicle. The vehicle started up and I proceed to work. After, vehicle would not start, had to be towed 32 miles. Then vehicle to to a chysler dealership after I was notified the feul pump was faulty and had to be replace.

Tl - the contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel would spew back out of the filler neck as the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician was unable to diagnosed the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 63,000. Pm.

I just purchased vehicle about a few weeks ago from dealer and every time I fill with gas it over flows and sprays gas everywhere. This is very dangerous and can cause fire or explosion. I don;t know if anybody has been hurt but needs to be looked in to before somebody gets hurt or worse.

At time of fill up, when the pump stops full spews out of the fuel filler neck. It has been this way since we purchased the car and when I brought this to the sales managers attention he played it off as no big deal. He did offer an extended warranty to purchase to have the car "fixed" so it wouldn't spew fuel on the ground or person pumping gas. I find it hard to believe this has not been addressed in a recall.

Whenever I fill up with gas and the pump kicks off roughly about a 1/2 gallon of gas spits back out all over the side of the truck and on me.

When fueling this vehicle it physically sprays approximately 8 ounces of fuel out of the fuel receptacle when the fueling nozzle clicks off. I have found no way to stop it,or control the amount or direction. Anything or anyone near it will get sprayed. This is a serious safety issue that Chrysler must address! we just purchased this vehicle 1/31/2014 so that is the reason for the late filing of this report.

When refueling when the pump clicks off fuel at least a gallon shoots out of refuel opening.

I saw where several other people has complaints about when you fill up with gas after the nozzle clicks it sprays gas out, I have had my Aspen a little over a year and it does the same thing, I think that is a defect that Chrysler needs to fix, it is very dangerous for gas to spray out everywhere and it is not just one Aspen that has this problem, it is several.

When fueling my 2008 Aspen is complete it does not shut-off and gas spews out all over the car, myself, and everything else. This started about a year ago and then quit, it has since started up again with a vengeance of an explosion of gasoline. I first thought it was the pump, but I have gone to many different stations and there same thing occurs.

Significant fuel spit-back occurs upon every refueling.

On this date and at least a few others our Aspen unintentionally accelerated. It usually accelerates from a dead stop after the SUV is shifted into drive with foot on the brake pedal. It will also occasionally accelerate when slowing down before coming to a stop. Chrysler dealerships have no solutions since service managers have had no previous experiences with this problem. So they say.
