Tank Assembly problems of the 2008 Chrysler Aspen

Gasoline discharged (approximately 1/4 gallon) out of fuel filler after gasoline filler nozzle shuts off at fill-up when tank reaches capacity. This happens at all gas pumps, not a specific station. Many attendants at gas stations have stated that this is a safety concern as fuel gets on the ground and on the person fueling.

My 2008 Chrysler Aspen has a fuel tank problem. When I fill the tank at a gas station-the station pump will shut off and gas will come spewing out 2-3 feet out of the tank. According to the dealership when I had it looked at it has to do with some tank venting issue. After having a canister replaced and not fixing the problem I was told the whole tank needs to be replaced.

When you fill up the gas tank full, the pump shuts off, and then, then when you pull out the pump gas explodes out all over. It actually shoots out gas, from the gas tank, spewing out everywhere. This is a serious safety hazzard. This safety item needs to be addressed by the manufacturer in a recall.

When fueling at any station fuel blows out the tank everywhere, about a half a gallon. It gets on the person fueling and the ground, but only when filled up until the pump cuts off.

Every time we fill up our gas tank when the gas pump shuts off there is gush of gas that is spit back out of the tank. When it first occurred I was drenched with gas. This is not safe and when the dealer checked out the issue they said the problem was with the filler assembly and would cost $800 to fix. This is unacceptable and as I write this today there are 15 other complaints with the same car and same problem. I also have gas station attendants in NJ tell me they have this happen all the time with Chrysler cars mainly Aspen, wranglers and liberty. Even the dealer says this is a common problem. Chrysler needs to issue a recall for this problem.

The gas tank keeps overflowing when filling up.

Significant over flow of fuel when filling at gas station. Automatic trigger release only deploys after fuel discharges from fuel tank. Manual filling works no better. Considerable wastage as well as fire hazard.

When gas is pumped into the vehicle when it is full gas spills out of the tank. Many attendants at gas stations have stated that this is a concern with the vehicle.

Gas spills out of tank (approximately 1/4 gallon) when tank reaches capacity. This happens at all gas pumps, not a specific station. Varied speed of pump and weather conditions have not changed this issue.

When filling up the gas tank of my 2008 Chrysler Aspen, at the end of the fill up, gas shoots out of the gas tank. About 7-10 oz shoots out after every fill up. I am not topping off the gas tank, I am just allowing it to stop automatically. Gas shoots out over the vehicle and onto the ground. This is a very dangerous situation that seems to be happening on many Chrysler Aspens according to a internet search. I know Chrysler had a similar recall on their durango model.

Fuel splashes out of fill port when automatic nozzle shuts off during filling of fuel tank.

When fueling my Aspen, it regularly spits back fuel prior to the fuel shut off disengaging the dispensing of fuel. I've used several gas stations and have the same problem at each one. It started with just a little fuel spitting back and now there is probably two to three cups that fly out of the tank and if I'm not paying attention it may spray all over me.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Aspen. Whenever the contact fills the gas tank on his vehicle he noticed that gasoline will suddenly spray out of the filler tube onto the contact and the vehicle.

For the past several months, our 2008 Chrysler Aspen with 37,000 miles has been spilling fuel at the end of each refueling. The pump shuts off as it should, and then fuel spills out. I would estimate that approximately 5-7 ounces of fuel spill out each time this occurs. I did some research, and learned that there was a recall on the fuel tank of the 2005 Dodge durango (same vehicle - ours is rebadged as a Chrysler). The recall language stated "fuel tank filler tube inlet check valve may not fully close at the end of refueling. This could allow some fueled to escape from the vehicle through the filler neck at the end of refueling. " this is exactly what seems to be occurring on our 2008 model. The pump shuts off, but fuel then follows and spills out.

When refueling, upon auto shut off of fuel nozzle approximately a quart of gasoline will blow out from the fuel fill of the vehicle. This is not due to a problem with the pump nozzle, as it occurs at different fuel suppliers . This problem does not occur if filling is stopped short of a full tank. Fuel usually splashes onto the vehicle and the ground and has gotten on my sleeve if my hand is on the nozzle. Splashing of fuel is dangerous, it has been addressed by the manufacturer on some of their other vehicles and it should apply to this vehicle also. Updated ivoq 02/24/11.
