Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“I've been having this truck for a little over 5 months and every time I fill it up it never stops pumping when full. It spits gas out when it is full. I try to watch how many gallons I'm putting in it so I can stop it myself before it gets full but sometimes I don't catch it. It never clicks or stops on its own. I know my truck is 11 yrs old but this shouldn't be happening.”

NHTSA complaint #11172996, filed 2019-01, 171,000 miles

“While drive the vehicle it jerked forward and then stalled loosing power almost causing me to hit the vehicle in front of me and the vehicle in back of me had to swerve in order to avoid hitting my vehicle. The vehicle started up and I proceed to work. After, vehicle would not start, had to be towed 32 miles. Then vehicle to to a chysler dealership after I was notified the feul pump was faulty and had to be replace.”

“Three times now car has stalled while stopped following full refueling of tank... We did research on line... Is this similar to NHTSA action number : pe13016? Dealer knew what the problem was, fixed it at our cost but said there was no recall on the Aspen like the 300.”

NHTSA complaint #10678557, filed 2015-01, 80,000 miles

“Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up the fuel tank. The vehicle gives no check engine light or provides any obd codes to pinpoint the problem. The vehicle stalls both while in motion and when stationary, when in motion all power assist is lost including the power steering and braking assist. My wife refuses to drive the vehicle now after nearly getting into a traffic collision when the vehicle stalled while driving through an intersection and she lost all power assist with our two children in the vehicle. …”

“When I put fuel in my vehicle it stalls within 5 minutes. It does it once and then doesn't do it again until I fill up the next time. If I fill it before it gets below a half tank it doesn't seem to do it. The problem is I don't always remember to do that and I am worried that the next time it stalls I will be in the middle of an intersection. I have seen where other chryslers with v8 hemi engines are covered under warranty but Chrysler told me that my vehicle is not. The same problem should be covered by the same extended warranty!”
