Every time I fill the gas tank, the fuel spills out of the fill tube when it gets full. I have tried putting it in slow but before the nozzle can shut off it blows the fuel back out of the fill tube. This is a substantial amount of fuel which I believe is a serious hazard.
The contact owned a 2009 Chrysler Aspen. The contact stated that while driving at an unknown rate of speed, she was run off the road by a vehicle by another vehicle. The contact crashed into an unknown object and hit her face on the steering wheel since the airbags did not deploy. The contact temporarily lost consciousness; once she regained consciousness, blood was coming from her mouth. The contact immediately checked on her two young children who were both treated by an ambulance. The contact stated that her son was treated for facial injuries. A police report was filed. The contact had yet to seek medical attention for her injuries. The vehicle was initially towed to an independent tow yard but was later towed back to her home. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was a total loss. The failure mileage was unknown.
The contact owns a 2009 Chrysler Aspen. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle inadvertently shifted from 4-wheel drive to 4-wheel low. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to park on the side of the roadway. The contact stated that a family member arrived at her location and assisted her with resetting the 4-wheel drive. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 109,369.
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE. PROBABLE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. I STARTED THE VEHICLE USING THE REMOTE START AND THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD SEVERAL INCHES THEN SETTLED BACK WERE IT WAS. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE HAD BEEN +- ZERO FOR SEVERAL DAYS. IT DID NOT REPEAT AFTER BEING WARMED UP. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. 116,000 MILES.
CHRYSLER HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THEIR 5.8 HEMI ENGINE. 12/16/2020 I PAID $3791.07 TO REPLACE A BAD CAMSHAFT AND LIFTERS ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 72,768 MILES. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FIND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES! IN CONTACTING CHRYSLER, THEY OF COURSE, REFUSE TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW. ALTHOUGH THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS A MAJOR ENGINE DEFECT WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I WOULD BE INTERESTED IF ANYONE ELSE HAS EXPRESSED THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER'S COMPLETE DISREGARD.
I HAD TROUBLE WITH A HUMMING NOISE AND POPPING UNDER MY VEHICLE FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE HUMMING GOT SO LOUD THAT WE COULD NOT HEAR EACH OTHER TALK TO ONE ANOTHER AT ALL. IT POPPED PULLING OUT, GOING AROUND A CURVE, GOING BACKWARDS, OR SLOWING DOWN. THE HUMMING STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER IT GOT VERY LOUD. MY ASPEN THEN FELL TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE AND SMOKE STARTED SHOOTING OUT FROM THE PASSENGER BACK TIRE WHEN DRIVING IT. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS VERY BAD. THE REAR AXLE AND REAR AXLE BEARING ARE DESTROYED AND IT WILL NEED A NEW REAR END. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO8 REAR PINION NUT RECALL COMPLETED ON 1/13/2014. IF THE RECALL REALLY SOLVES THE 2009 ASPEN PROBLEM OF THE REAR END AXLE AND AXLE BEARINGS FROM BEING DESTROYED THEN WHY AM I NOW HAVING TO GET A NEW REAR END IN DECEMBER OF 2019. I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED SO NOW PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. A $2500+ REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE IS AN AWFUL PRODUCT FLAW THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR. I HAVE HAD CARS FOR 20 YEARS THAT I NEVER HAD TO POCKET MONEY LIKE THAT FOR ALL THEIR REPAIRS TOGETHER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT BEGAN TO DRIVE AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

FUEL PUMP SHORT CIRCUIT. AFTER PUMPING GAS THE TRUCK WILL NOT TURN ON. SHORT CIRCUIT FROM THE PUMP TO THE STARTER. AFTER TURNING THE KEY TO POWER ON THE TRUCK ALL THE GAS SPILLED FROM UNDERNEATH. I DROVE TO MY KIDS SCHOOL AT 230PM , AFTER LEAVING POWERED ON THE TRUCK TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN AND THATS WHEN ALL THE GAS SPILLED FROM UNDERNEATH.
WHEN TRAVELING AT DIFFERENT CITY OR HWY SPEEDS ALL OF A SUDDEN THE BRAKE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. DOESN'T SEEM TO AFFECT THE SPEED OR BRAKING OF THE CAR BUT IF I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE THE LIGHT IS ON SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT BUT WHEN THE LIGHT IS OFF AND I APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL THE CAR DOESN'T PULL LEFT OR RIGHT. ONCE THE LIGHT IS ON IT STAYS ON AND SETS A CODE AND LIGHT STAYS ON ON UNTIL I STOP THE CAR AND TURN OFF THE IGN SWITCH. I HAVE HAD THE CAR INTO THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY HAVE VERIFIED THE CODE.THEY HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS BUT I STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR.
PERSISTENT DEAD 12V BATTERY. EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE BATTERY, TRUCK WILL BE DEAD WITHIN 24 HOURS OF NOT BEING DRIVEN. ALL LIGHTS ARE OFF AND KEYS REMOVED. BATTERY WILL BE DEAD IN A LESS THAN A DAY AFTER RUNNING JUST FINE REQUIRES A 2 SECOND JUMP FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE TO START. .
SUV STALLS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. OFTEN IT WILL REQUIRE MULTIPLE CYCLES OF STARTING AND STALLING BEFORE IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN. PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE MORE SEVERE IN COLD WEATHER. THE SUV HAS STALLED IN TRAFFIC ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. ADDITIONALLY GAS WILL SPLASH OUT DURING FUELING.
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.
THE OVERHEAD CONTROL MODULE HAS FAILED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. WE ARE BEING ASKED TO COVER IT OUR OF POCKET AGAIN EVEN THOUGH THE PART SHOULD BE UNDER THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TELLS ME THAT SINCE IT WAS REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY THE LAST TIME (12 MONTHS AGO) OUR CONSUMER WARRANTY GOES BACK TO THE ONE WE PURCHASED THE FIRST TIME IT FAILED AND WON'T COVER IT THIS TIME.
2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN HYBRID HAS 3 RECALLS. THE FIRST RECALL UPDATE WASN'T SUCCESSFULLY DONE AND SUBSEQUENTLY I CANT GET THE OTHER 2, S43 AND S92 RECALLS ADDRESSED. FOR SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR TO P48 RECALL, MY TRUCK WOULD DROP DEAD WHILE DRIVING AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER DIAGNOSE WHY THE TRUCK WAS DOING SO. THERE IS AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY. THE TRUCK DROPPED DEAD 11/24/2014, DEALERSHIP UPLOADED A SOFTWARE A DAY LATER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX DROP DEAD ISSUE. IT WORKED ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER THE UPDATE. IT DROPPED DEAD AND WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SAT UNFIXED FOR 10 MONTHS. THEY THEN SAID THE SOFTWARE UPDATE COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND I REPLIED THEN THE SOFTWARE UP DATE WAS THE FINAL CAUSE FOR THE DEATH OF THE VEHICLE. WHY DID YOU UPLOAD IF IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX. THEY REFUSED TO LOOK FURTHER BECAUSE THE AREA SERVICE MANAGER IN A MEETING WITH MR. LOPERNA STATED THE TRUCK HAD 148,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX FURTHER DUE TO MILEAGE THEN WENT ON TO SAY IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IGNORING THE FACT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DROPPING DEAD FOR YEARS WITHOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I WAS IN MOTION EVERY TIME THE TRUCK FELL DEAD AND THE DROP DEAD ISSUE STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTED EVERY TIME THE TRUCK DROPPED DEAD AND WAS TOWED IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY HYBRID TRUCKS HAVE BEEN FIXED? I AM ALSO CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW CAN SOMEONE REFUSE TO FIX A RECALL DUE TO MILEAGE. I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE IN LEADERSHIP AT CHRYSLER ALTHOUGH I HAVE WRITTEN 25 LETTERS AND ADDRESSED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET PAST THE CALL CENTER FOR HELP.

The basics
How to read this data
Complaints, recalls, investigations — here’s what each number actually tells you about a used Chrysler Aspen, in plain English.
What is an NHTSA Complaint?
An NHTSA safety complaint is a report filed directly by a vehicle owner or driver describing a safety-related issue. Anyone can submit a complaint at NHTSA.gov. The number of complaints is a signal of how common a problem is — but complaints per model-year matter more than raw totals, since popular vehicles naturally receive more reports. The Chrysler Aspen has 443 complaints on record across 3 model years.
What is a Safety Recall?
A safety recall is a mandatory campaign issued by NHTSA when a vehicle component poses an unreasonable risk to safety or does not comply with federal motor vehicle safety standards. Unlike complaints (which are owner-reported), recalls are formally investigated and confirmed by regulators. Manufacturers must fix recalled vehicles free of charge. The Chrysler Aspen has 9 recall campaigns in the NHTSA database.
What Are Crash Complaints?
Crash complaints are NHTSA filings where the owner indicates a crash occurred as part of the incident. 29 of the Chrysler Aspen's 443 complaints involved a crash. This metric is particularly important because it indicates how often defects resulted in actual collisions — a key safety signal beyond general reliability.
How Is the Reliability Verdict Calculated?
The reliability verdict (Poor) is generated by analyzing the vehicle's total complaints, recall history, crash complaint ratio, fire complaint ratio, and top component failures relative to class averages. This verdict gives buyers a quick interpretation before they review year-level details and VIN-level history. It should be treated as one decision input, not a substitute for a VIN-specific report.
Why Do Newer Years Have Fewer Complaints?
Newer model years appear to have fewer complaints because there has been less time for owners to file them. Complaints accumulate over years of ownership. A 2020 model year vehicle will typically show fewer complaints than a 2015 model year even if it is less reliable — simply because fewer owners have had time to report issues. Focus on complaints per year of market presence when comparing across model years.
Fleet Data vs. Individual VIN
Everything on this page reflects aggregated data across all Chrysler Aspen vehicles on the road — not any specific car. Two Chrysler Aspen vehicles of the same year can have very different histories: one may have been in three accidents and have an open recall; another may be clean. A VIN check gives you the individual car's history: accidents, title brands, odometer records, service history, and real-time recall status.
What Are NHTSA Investigations?
When NHTSA receives a pattern of related safety complaints, it opens a formal investigation. A Preliminary Evaluation (PE) is the first stage — NHTSA determines if a safety defect may exist. If evidence is strong, it escalates to an Engineering Analysis (EA), which can result in a mandatory recall. The Chrysler Aspen has 0 investigations on record (0 active). Investigations listed above may have already led to the recalls shown on this page.
