Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I just purchased the vehicle from the dealer and as I am fueling it for the first time fuel burped up and spilled all along the side. The fuel came pouring out of the tank and spilled over the side of the vehicle into the ground. This emitted a strong gas odor and at the same time produced a spill all around. I stopped fueling the vehicle, however I noticed that I was only able to fill about 3/4 of my tank. I have found many other comments and even videos on you tube of other durango /Aspen drivers having the same issue. Please advise.”
NHTSA complaint #10576558, filed 2014-04, 79,850 miles“I currently own a 2009 Chrysler Aspen hybrid. Today while fueling my vehicle I experienced the same problem I have been having since I purchased the vehicle about 3 weeks ago. As I am fueling the fuel trigger shuts off on me constantly. As I take it out to reinsert it, it spits out fuel at me. Once I am done fueling and proceed to cap the tank it spits fuel at me as well. Today I was drenched in fuel because as I began fueling my vehicle which had an empty tank it started to spit fuel back at me. This is not only hazardous to the environment but it?s also a personal safety hazard. …”
NHTSA complaint #10583424, filed 2014-04, 80,495 miles“The fuel spits back when tank is full and spills out on car and on floor. This has happened on multiple occasions. I called Chrysler as it is a known problem and they advised it will not be covered under extended warrant or a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #10566933, filed 2014-03, 58,885 miles“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.”
