“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #11240714, filed 2019-07, 3 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10179531, filed 2007-01, 1,540 miles“We purchased a 2007 Chrysler Aspen dec 23, 2006. The next day the car suddenly lurched while I was backing out of the driveway at my inlaws' home. It was shocking & my family was shouting out for me to stop the car. I was able to control it & keep from hitting other vehicles but it was very difficult. The next week I went to exit the parking lot of our safeway store to go on to the main street. I was stopped to turn right when the car lurched into oncoming traffic. Horns blared & cars swerved to avoid hitting me. I was just waiting to be hit! I took the car to dealer w/466 miles on it. …”
NHTSA complaint #10193809, filed 2007-06, 100 miles“The Aspen lurched backwards approximately fifty feet at a very high rate of speed, just after being put into reverse. It was stopped when it crashed into a garage and a toyota prius. The prius was totaled, the Aspen severely damaged, the garage doors were yanked out of the ceiling and shattered, and other parts of the garage were damaged. Anyone who would have been behind the vehicle at the time would have been severely injured or killed. For approximately three weeks prior to this incident, there was an intermittent problem with the reverse transmission. …”
