1 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2007 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 07/30/2019

Every time we fill the gas tank . . . The vehicle will stutter / shake when at idle or die completely at idle like at a stop sign or drive through window. It will restart after about 30 seconds. After it has been driven about 25-40 miles it stops happening. We have paid for total vehicle inspections, we have also paid $1300 to have every single problem a certified Chrysler dealership can find fixed. This did not help the problem at all and the dealership says there is absolutely nothing wrong with the SUV. This is the car our son drives and we are very concerned. We are not in a financial position to replace the vehicle and have now emptied our savings to have the vehicle completely serviced, inspected and repaired.

2 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2008 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 05/09/2019

On may 9th 2019 the vehicles computer was giving strange alerts about tire pressure changing among all 4 tires. Also change oil alert on & off. Low gas alert on & off. When I arrived at work around 9 am & I parked the vehicle, brought my personal things into the office. I decided to use our compressed air to check all 4 wheels tire pressure. I put the car in reverse to back out of the parking space with my right foot on the brake pedal. As I was backing up the rpm's increased suddenly sending me speeding in reverse towards my work building. I looked at my foot to make sure it was on the brake & it was. I never touched the accelerator. The vehicle's speed increased in 3 seconds to over 40 mph. I backed through the corner of my building, across railroad tracks & into the neighboring building. The corner support beam of my building went through my sunroof missing my head by inches. I turned the engine off. Miraculously no one was seriously injured. The vehicle was totaled & it caused extreme damage to both buildings. I contacted an attorney but since there was no serious injury they didn't want to get involved. They said it wasn't worth it to them. I tried to reach Chrysler but never got a response. I was recently made aware of this website to file this complaint. I have a video from my work security camera it is not one of the type of files this website accepts.

3 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2009 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 04/07/2016

For no known reason my 2009 Chrysler Aspen 4x4 will engage on its own, I have repeatedly taken it in to the dealership (which by the way is horrible) they can not figure out what the problem is . However since I have a lifetime warranty they have claimed I need every single part covered under the warranty with not results. The first time I called the dealership regarding this I was told to bring the truck in immediately as this is an extremely dangerous problem due to the fact when it is engaged the truck will loose power. It engaged while I was on the freeway doing 70 mph and dropped instantly to 20 mph and would not go over 35mph. My overhead console, dash and radio at random go out. According to the dealership I needed a new radio 3 times each time the radio would start working again for the same reason it stopped, unknown. I turn on the turn signal they flash between left, right and hazard.

4 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 2007 Chrysler Aspen

Failure Date: 01/17/2007

I own a 2007 Chrysler Aspen with 1500 miles on this vehicle. I turned off the main highway on to a secondary road, when then accelerator was pushed the engine shuttered briefly then accelerated to a high speed on it's own. I pushed the brake pedal down very hard and it would not stop the vehicle,I had to place the transmission into neutral and switch the ignition off to stop the car. Luckily I was not at the school yard were I had just picked my child up. I called a tow truck to pick my car up and carry to the dealership as I was too scared to try and drive it again. The dealer said they would check out the problem and would have. *jbto contact Chrysler to see what could have caused the problem and that a mechanic would drive it to see if they could recreate the problem. The car is still at the dealership with no response to what the problem might be. This is a very serious safety hazard that could have injured someone and needs to be investigated to prevent future incidents!.
