2007 Chrysler Aspen Fuel System Problems

When fueling the vehicle as soon as the pump pops off indicating your tank is filled gass will sphew/ or spray back out of the vehicle and onto the person fueling, the side of the vehicle and the ground. This happens every single time no matter what fuel station you use,regardless of the time of day or temperature outside. After looking online I can see there have been numerous reports of this from other 2007 Chrysler Aspen owners going back several years; however, I have not been able to locate anything indicating this is a recall and my vin number indicates all recalls have been addressed on this vehicle. Is there a solution for this issue, is it being repaired by Chrysler or what is being done? Please let me know, as this is a safety issue for anyone fueling up , anyone in the vehicle or around the vehicle. I noticed it asks for an approximate date of when this occured, there has been several dates so I will provide the date of the most recent issue.

When filling the gas tank up using the "fill lock" feature on nearly all modern fuel pump nozzles, when the tank gets full the fill nozzle clicks off and about a half a pint of raw fuel is "purged" back out of the tank filler neck. At first I thought this was a problem at a specific fuel station. I have since learned that it can do it anywhere, at any time of day, and at any temperature.

My 07 Chrysler aspen has a huge fuel problem and as I have read it’s happening to a lot of people! When I fill my car up with fuel no matter what store I am at the gas starts spewing back out of the tank. I do not over fill my car the moment the gas pump clicks that it’s done, a lot of gas starts spewing out onto the ground! I believe this is a potential hazardous ? situation for all involved especially my family! For one I am stressed out about if there were to be an accidental rollover the gas would go everywhere, and 2 when it pours out onto the ground or could even splash out onto my skin I could end up with chemical burns or the bio hazard issue we are having with the gas just being powered onto the ground without me being able to control it! Chrysler doesn’t seem to think this is a problem or that it’s hazardous! But when people go to have the problem fixed they are telling everyone it’s a faulty gas tank and you have to replace the entire tank!! Please help us get our cars fixed for something that Chrysler messed up on they should be responsible for the repairs!!

WHEN PUTTING GAS IN AFTER REMOVING THE PUMP GAS COMES SPRAYING OUT ALL OVER WHOEVER IS FILLING UP THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND THIS IS A SAFELY ISSUE FOR EVERYONE IN THE CAR THE VEHICLE ITSELF AND HOWEVER IS FILLING THE CAR UP AS WELL AS THE GAS STATION THAT YOU ARE FILLING UP AT. IT HAPPENED TODAY AND 1 TIME BEFORE THAT I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE LESS THEN A MONTH BUT SEE ITS A COMMON ISSUE AND SPOKEN ABOUT ALOT ONLINE. *TR

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONED AT A GAS STATION PUMP AS I WAS PUMPING FUEL AND I WANTED TO FILL UP THE TANK, AND SO I DID. BUT, RIGHT BEFORE THE PUMP STOPPED, THE GAS SPIT AND SPILLED OUT OF THE TANK, RAN DOWN THE SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND ON TO THE FLOOR.

WHILE FUELING UP THE CAR, THE FILL NECK SPITS BACK FUEL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS ADDING FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, IT SPEWED OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TATE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP (7429 RITCHIE HWY, GLEN BURNIE, MD 21061, (888) 864-6650) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ROLLOVER VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 MINUTES TO FILL UP HER FUEL TANK DUE TO AN INCONSISTENT FLOW OF FUEL. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO PLACE FUEL IN HER VEHICLE AT SEVERAL DIFFERENT STATIONS AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE EACH TIME. CENTURY DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (13500 VETERANS MEMORIAL PKWY IN WENTZVILLE, MO 63385) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SPITS A BUNCH OF GAS OUR ONTO THE GROUND AND ALL OVER THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING THIS UP AND HAVE FOUND THAT ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2007 ASPENS. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD OF THE PROBLEM THEY STATED THATS ITS NOT A RECALL ITEM AND I HAVE TO FIX THIS KNOWN ISSUE OUT OF MY OWN POCKET

GAS 'SPITS OUT' WHEN FILLING. VERY DANGEROUS, GAS WILL SHOOT OUT OVER A FOOT. TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR RECALL 'TSB 14-001-12', DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. RETURNED THE CAR 3 DAYS LATER AND CHARGED $100.00. WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK AND I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!! WHY DOESN'T THIS RECALL PAY FOR IT??? IT'S DIFFENTLY A SAFEY PROBLEM???

TSB 14-001-12 FUEL SPLASH BACK. HAD MY CAR AND THEY DID THE REPAIRS. BUT, ITS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM!!! WAS TOLD I NEED A NEW GAS TANK. IT WILL COST ME, $1,500. CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. AND WAS TOLD THEY DO NOT PAY FOR THE TANK?? IT STILL IS A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH GAS SPITING OUT OVER THE CAR,ME,GROUND. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD REPAIR THE PROBLEM, NOT ONLY ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT REPAIR THE PROBLEM......

WHEN FILLING THE FUEL TANK ON THIS VEHICLE, IT OFTEN OVERFLOWS AND DUMPS GAS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SOMETHING THAT PREVENTS THIS FROM HAPPENING.... ARE THERE ANY KNOWN ISSUES WITH THIS VALVE/ OR PART?

EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN TO MY TANK (NOT TOPPING OFF) FUEL GUSHES BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AND ON TO THE GROUND AFTER THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF WHEN THE TANK GETS FILLED MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. IT HAS HAPPENED AT NUMEROUS DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN I AM HOLDING THE HANDLE TO THE GAS PUMP AND WHEN THE PUMPS AUTO SHUT-OFF FEATURE IS USED. EACH TIME THAT IT HAS HAPPENED A LARGE AMOUNT OF GAS HAS BEEN SPILLED ON THE GROUND, ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ON MY SHOES. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE GAS STATION ATTENDANT HAS HAD TO BLOCK OFF THE GAS PUMP AND COME OVER AND CLEAN UP THE SPILL. EACH TIME IT HAS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STATIONARY AND NOT RUNNING.

SUMMARY: FUEL GUSHED OUT OF THE TANK AND SPRAYED OVER THE SUV AND MYSELF AT THE GAS STATION WHEN I WAS REFUELING MY VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL THAT HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURER.THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT THE GAS STATION AND I WAS STANDING NEXT TO IT. THIS HAS HAPPED EVERY TIME I FILL UP FOR THE LAST YEAR.

FUEL OVER FILLS OUT OF THE FILLER WHEN FILLING UP VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT GAS PUMP TURNED OFF AND OVERFILLS EVERYTIME FILLED UP

WAS REFUELING CAR AT GAS STATION AND AFTER ABOUT A GALLON OR TWO THE GAS STARTED SPURTING BACK AT ME.THE TANK WASN'T FULL, THE PUMP DID NOT STOP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE FEB 2014. PURCHASED CAR USED FROM DEALER. WHEN I CALLED SERVICE CENTER , GENTLEMAN SAID THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE READ MANY POSTS WHERE THE VERY SAME THING HAPPENS ON THIS SAME MAKE/ MODEL.

WHILE PUMPING GAS INTO THE VEHICLE, IT NEVER CUT OFF AND SPRAYED GASOLINE ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS MYSELF. IT STARTED FEB 2015 AND HAS HAPPENED EVERY TIME I HAVE PUMPED GAS INTO THE VEHICLE SINCE THEN. *TR

ASPEN HAS ONLY 16000 MILES AND HAS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM OF BURPING FUEL OUT OF THE TANK WHEN FILLING UP AT WHAT EVER PRESSURE ONE HOLDS THE NOZZLE. EVERY TIME TANK IS FILLED IT DUMPS OUT 1 TO 2 GALLONS OF FULL ON MYSELF AND THE BODY OF THE CAR AS WELL AS ON THE GROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO CHRYSLER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUE YET A TSB HAS BEEN ISSUED BY CHRYSLER THEM SELVES ACKNOWLEDGING THE PROBLEM AND THE SOLUTION FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. TSB 14-001-12 CLASSIFYING IT AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BULLETIN. ACKNOWLEDGING THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BEING A STUCK FLAPPER IN THE GAS TANK. CHRYSLER IS NOT WANTING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM IN MY VEHICLE SAYING THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A SPECIFIC RECALL NOTED AND THAT THE TSB BULLETIN IS FOR THERE OWN TECHS AND NOT FOR CUSTOMER AWARENESS. EVERY TIME I OR MY WIFE FILL THE TANK IN THE ASPEN WHILE TRAVELING OR LOCALLY I GET AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FUEL BACK SPRAYED AND SPEWED ON ME AND MY CLOTHS REQUIRING ME TO STAY AWAY FROM ANY SPARKS, FIRE OR IGNITIONS OF ANY SORT TILL I REMOVE MY CLOTHING AND THEN SHOWER OFF THE GASOLINE. I COULD REALLY USE HELP IN GETTING THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE RESOLVE FOR AND MY WIFE. I HAVE ON HAND LETTERS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLEARLY STATING THAT THE FUEL INLET CHECK VALVE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A COPY OF.
