2007 Chrysler Aspen problems
The Dodge Aspen, and the nearly-identical Plymouth Volaré, are compact cars that were produced from 1976 until 1980. The Volaré/Aspen model line offered a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, and a four-door wagon.
During the time that the Volaré and the Aspen were produced, North American automakers were actively "downsizing" their lineups, reducing size and weight for improved fuel economy. For that reason, the rear-wheel-drive Volaré and the Aspen were originally classified as compact cars, but were considered intermediate-sized cars by the end of their production run.
The Volaré/Aspen were discontinued following the 1980 model year just prior to the introduction of the front-wheel-drive Plymouth Reliant and Dodge Aries, known collectively as K-cars.

Common 2007 Chrysler Aspen problems
The Chrysler Aspen, introduced in 2007, is a full-size SUV that shares its platform with the Dodge Durango. Despite its potential, the Aspen faced several common problems that led to its eventual discontinuation.
- Fuel System Problems: Another common issue with the Aspen is fuel system problems. For example, some owners have reported fuel gushing out when the gas pump shuts off, which can be a safety concern. Additionally, there have been instances of fuel overflowing after refueling, which can lead to potential fire hazards.
- Airbag Concerns: Some owners have reported issues with the airbags in the Chrysler Aspen. These concerns range from airbags not deploying in accidents to potential safety issues with the airbag system. This can be a significant concern for drivers, as the airbags are a critical safety feature in the event of a collision.
- Engine and Transmission Issues: The Chrysler Aspen has also faced issues with its engine and transmission. Some owners have reported problems with the engine stalling or not starting, which can be a significant inconvenience and safety concern. Additionally, there have been reports of transmission issues, such as difficulty shifting or the transmission slipping.
- Body and Paint Issues: Some owners have reported issues with the body and paint of the Chrysler Aspen. These issues can range from rusting on the bottom of the doors to paint chipping and peeling. While these issues may not affect the vehicle's performance, they can be a cosmetic concern for owners.
- Steering Problems: Another common issue with the Chrysler Aspen is steering problems. Some owners have reported a loss of steering control, which can be a significant safety concern. This issue can make it difficult for drivers to control the vehicle, particularly at high speeds or in emergency situations.
In summary, the Chrysler Aspen faced several common problems that affected its reliability and safety. These issues included electrical problems with the UConnect system, fuel system issues, airbag concerns, engine and transmission problems, body and paint issues, and steering problems. While some owners have reported positive experiences with the Aspen, these common issues have contributed to its eventual discontinuation.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2022-04-03
- VIN: 1a8hx58p97f
- Components: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: 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!!
