1 Seat Belt problem of the 2008 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 12/16/2022

My 2008 Chrysler Aspen floor board and seat belts are drenched with water when it rains. The truck is leaking and allowing water to get inside the body of the truck. I had to replace my radio and other computer components in my truck because this is what the dealership told me was the problem. My truck was fixed at lander's Chrysler Dodge and Jeep in southaven, ms about 2 years ago. It's now doing the same thing again. This has to be a defect of the truck because I have not had any other major problems. The first repair cost me over $2000 dollars. Because of the water leaks, my truck carries a molded smell. My doors have to be oiled for the rust. I have to use a towel to wrap the seat belt. The water stands in the floor on the driver's side floor board. Now, my check engine light, eps light, traction light, and a clicking sound under the hood and heater malfunction persists. Please help! please investigate.

5 Seat Belt problem of the 2009 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 07/26/2016

Have taken car in to Chrysler dealership with regards to noise. Car making whinin noise while driving. Initially advised rear pinion seal leaking. So no fluid in rear differential unit. I stated rear pinion nut was a recall and if nut had been replaced, how any why did fluid leak out? rear differential service performed and fluid added with service at my expense. Advised noise would go away. Took car in again almost three weeks later, as patiently waited for noise to go away, now told rear differential carrier bearing are worn and $2000 to fix car! all of these rear differential failures are the fault of the rear differential pinion nut.

8 Seat Belt problem of the 2008 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 01/20/2015

Hello, I am the owner of a 2008 Aspen. I recently took the vehicle to a safety car seat checkpoint and was recommended to contact you by the officer concerning the seat belts. They don't lock when pulled all the way out like other vehicles (I. E. Notable resistance when trying to secure a car seat in place). I have also noticed this when switching car seats in a durango that my brother owns. I know the belts lock upon braking the vehicle. Also, I have had an issue where the vehicle has shut off, and I have lost power steering and all electrical control after topping off at a gas station. We promptly took it to the local dealer who did a computer update but it continues to happen anytime we top off with gas. As long as we don't overfill above the first click of the gas handle, the vehicle doesn't cut off spontaneously while driving. My husband has visited forums online where this has been as issue for other owners. Fortunately, I was in a neighborhood two miles down the road when it cut off with me and my children so was able to coast to a stop. However, I feel it is a big safety issue as it doesn't happen immediately and if I had been on a busy road could have potentially resulted in an accident as I had no control of the vehicle.

10 Seat Belt problem of the 2007 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 02/01/2011

Driver's seat belt is very difficult to unfasten and is getting worse. This is the first occurrence with this seat belt, but the right second row seat belt had a similar problem in the first year of ownership. It is my concern that the driver may become trapped inside the vehicle, especially in the event of an emergency.

11 Seat Belt problem of the 2007 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 12/03/2008

1. I purchased a new Chrysler Aspen in 2007. 2. I tried to install a child seat in the middle row right window seat. During my effort to safely tighten the seat a plastic portion on the buckle cracked. The cracked portion of the seatbelt is what prevents the belt from giving slack when a child seat is installed. There now was nothing from preventing the child seat from moving prior to an accident. I took the vehicle to the dealer and had the seatbelt assembly replaced. Several months later I noticed the replacement part cracked again not aware of how it occurred. The belt was now being utilized as a booster and did not have to be manually tightened. Now a few days ago after the birth of a new child my rear right seatbelt also broke. The same plastic part failed during installation of another car seat under my pulling tightening pressure which would be far less than stress from the inertia of an accident. I took my car to the dealer and had two new seatbelts ordered. After a few hours I realized the problem was most likely part design and poor material choice as opposed to a faulty part. At this point I am not able to take all my kids with me in the vehicle because even the belts that have not broken yet are not safe. I asked Chrysler to buy the vehicle back due to these dangers but their legal department refuses because even though I have had three failures I only generated two reports. It's doesn't qualify for the lemon law because I waited for two belts to break before taking it in. Chrysler is also refusing to look in to the matter of this part being unsafe on all their 2007 Chrysler models. The legal representative I spoke to didn't seem to care that the lives of my children and other children could be in jeopardy. Now I am stuck because it does no good to replaced belts with more faulty belts. I have a 3 year old, a 19 month old and a 1 week old baby that I can't even take to the doctor because this is my only vehicle.
