2007 Chrysler Aspen fuel system, gasoline problems

“WHEN FILLING WITH GAS, IT DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS FULL, AND GETS GAS ALL OVER ME AND THE VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT FIAT WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT WHEN PEOPLE COMPLAIN....UPDATED 09/28/15 *BF UPDATED 10/13/15. *JB”

“THERE IS A SAFETY/ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF OUR ASPEN. WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK AND THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, GAS SPURTS OUT ALL OVER THE PERSON FILLING THE TANK, THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND AND IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM FOR THE DODGE DURANGO'S, BUT I AM NOT ABLE TO FIND ONE FOR THE ASPEN. THIS IS A SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING. THIS IS AN ONGOING INCIDENT THAT OCCURS EVERY TIME WE REFILL THE VEHICLE. *TR”

“JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND AT FIRST FUEL FILL-UP GAS SPEWED OUT OF TANK AT END OF FILL-UP. I DID NOT TOP OFF, AND I WAS HOLDING GAS LEVER MYSELF. AS IT SHUT OFF, A TON OF FUEL SHOT OUT OF THE TANK ALL OVER ME. I'VE READ THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL? *TR”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE FAILED, CAUSING FUEL TO BE PROJECTED ONTO THE VEHICLE AND THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FUEL TANK FILLER TUBE INLET CHECK VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. ..UPDATED 01/30/13 *BF UPDATED 2/4/2013 *JS”

“THE CAR HAS BEEN GUSHING GAS OUT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE EVERY TIME IT IS FILLED FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THEN THE FUEL PUMP COMPLETELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ON 02/13/12 AT A COST OF $1137.34. THEN ON 02/28 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REQUIRING AN NEW EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYTEM ECIM SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $178.17. THE CAR STILL GUSHES GASOLINE OUT AT EVERY FILL UP AND WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR A FIX FROM THE DEALER ON THIS ISSUE. *JS”

“JUST PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHEN FUELING TO FILL, GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF, THEN LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS OVERFLOWS OUT, SPLASHING SKIN, CLOTHING, GAS CAP AND PAVEMENT. ADDITIONAL GAS GOES ON HAND WHEN CLOSING GAS CAP. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD, NOT TO MENTION ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. NOT "TOPPING OFF", JUST ALLOWING PUMP TO SHUT OFF, WHICH IT DOES. THE GAS ONLY OVERFLOWS OUT AFTER THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT MULTIPLE STATIONS AND WAS EXTRA CAREFUL NOT TO PUT THE NOZZLE IN TOO FAR. HAVE SEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HERE. WHY IS THERE NO OFFICIAL RECALL? *TR”
