11 problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2008 Chrysler Aspen. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I fill the gas tank up and the gas pump clicks, I remove the gas handle and gas will spill out from the tank. This happens every time I fill my gas tank up.
Every time I fill the fuel tank the vehicle stalls out while driving. I've had the vehicle stall out on me while making a left hand turn at an intersection and lost control of steering.
Vehicle sputters and dies after refueling. After refueling the fuel tank the vehicle does not want to stay running. It will run long enough to pull out, or attempt to pull out into traffic and then will die. This is very unsafe. My mechanic has determined it to be a check valve in between the fuel tank and vapor canister that fails and allows raw fuel to enter the emission system. This in turn causes the vehicle to die. One would think that this is a simple fix, but the check valve is only available with the $807 fuel tank. This issue is serious and could cause a wreck which could leave to injuries and or death.
The vehicle stalls while in motion regardless of road street or highway after refueling, we took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the fuel tank & the on-board refueling vapor recovery system is faulty and that raw liquid fuel was going into the engine causing failing. We have little choice but to fix the problem, as this could potentially cause a fire in the engine and\or cause a potential accident as the engine stops while in motion.
The fuel sprays back out of the tank during a refueling. It doesn't matter the time of year although during the warmer temperatures it is more intense. This is a safety issue which needs to be corrected by the manufacturer.

In addition, the contact stated that the engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the check engine warning light had previously illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who diagnosed that the detector, valve lin and the seal vapor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 117,000.
Three times now car has stalled while stopped following full refueling of tank. . . We did research on line. . . Is this similar to NHTSA action number : pe13016? dealer "knew" what the problem was, fixed it at our cost but said there was no recall on the Aspen like the 300.
When I put fuel in my vehicle it stalls within 5 minutes. It does it once and then doesn't do it again until I fill up the next time. If I fill it before it gets below a half tank it doesn't seem to do it. The problem is I don't always remember to do that and I am worried that the next time it stalls I will be in the middle of an intersection. I have seen where other Chryslers with v8 hemi engines are covered under warranty but Chrysler told me that my vehicle is not. The same problem should be covered by the same extended warranty!.
Engine stalls consistently with full tank of gas. Same problem other Chryslers have with evaporative emissions system valve.
Upon picking up the vehicle from the repair shop, I went to get gas. While fueling the tank spits back fuel and also disengages the dispensing of fuel. I ve tried different gas stations and have the same issue each time. Fuel filler neck was replaced along with the fuel tank. This is a serious safety issue.
When gas tank is filled, gas spits out towards the end of the fill.
