2009 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.

IT POPPED PULLING OUT, GOING AROUND A CURVE, GOING BACKWARDS, OR SLOWING DOWN. THE HUMMING STOPPED ALL OF A SUDDEN AFTER IT GOT VERY LOUD. MY ASPEN THEN FELL TOWARD THE RIGHT SIDE AND SMOKE STARTED SHOOTING OUT FROM THE PASSENGER BACK TIRE WHEN DRIVING IT. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC. HE SAID IT WAS VERY BAD. THE REAR AXLE AND REAR AXLE BEARING ARE DESTROYED AND IT WILL NEED A NEW REAR END. THIS VEHICLE HAD NO8 REAR PINION NUT RECALL COMPLETED ON 1/13/2014. IF THE RECALL REALLY SOLVES THE 2009 ASPEN PROBLEM OF THE REAR END AXLE AND AXLE BEARINGS FROM BEING DESTROYED THEN WHY AM I NOW HAVING TO GET A NEW REAR END IN DECEMBER OF 2019. I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AFTER THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED SO NOW PEOPLE ARE PAYING FOR REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. A $2500+ REPAIR FOR A VEHICLE IS AN AWFUL PRODUCT FLAW THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT BEING RESPONSIBLE FOR.

- VIN: 1A8JW18T39F

- Summary: 2009 CHRYSLER ASPEN HYBRID HAS 3 RECALLS. THE FIRST RECALL UPDATE WASN'T SUCCESSFULLY DONE AND SUBSEQUENTLY I CANT GET THE OTHER 2, S43 AND S92 RECALLS ADDRESSED. FOR SEVERAL YEARS PRIOR TO P48 RECALL, MY TRUCK WOULD DROP DEAD WHILE DRIVING AND THE DEALERSHIP COULD NEVER DIAGNOSE WHY THE TRUCK WAS DOING SO. THERE IS AN EXTENSIVE HISTORY. THE TRUCK DROPPED DEAD 11/24/2014, DEALERSHIP UPLOADED A SOFTWARE A DAY LATER IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX DROP DEAD ISSUE. IT WORKED ONLY 2 MONTHS AFTER THE UPDATE. IT DROPPED DEAD AND WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SAT UNFIXED FOR 10 MONTHS. THEY THEN SAID THE SOFTWARE UPDATE COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND I REPLIED THEN THE SOFTWARE UP DATE WAS THE FINAL CAUSE FOR THE DEATH OF THE VEHICLE. WHY DID YOU UPLOAD IF IT WASN'T GOING TO FIX. THEY REFUSED TO LOOK FURTHER BECAUSE THE AREA SERVICE MANAGER IN A MEETING WITH MR. LOPERNA STATED THE TRUCK HAD 148,000 MILES ON IT AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX FURTHER DUE TO MILEAGE THEN WENT ON TO SAY IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY IGNORING THE FACT THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DROPPING DEAD FOR YEARS WITHOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO DIAGNOSE. I WAS IN MOTION EVERY TIME THE TRUCK FELL DEAD AND THE DROP DEAD ISSUE STARTED A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOTED EVERY TIME THE TRUCK DROPPED DEAD AND WAS TOWED IN FOR SERVICE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG. I AM CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY HYBRID TRUCKS HAVE BEEN FIXED? I AM ALSO CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW CAN SOMEONE REFUSE TO FIX A RECALL DUE TO MILEAGE. I HAVE NOT SPOKEN TO ANYONE IN LEADERSHIP AT CHRYSLER ALTHOUGH I HAVE WRITTEN 25 LETTERS AND ADDRESSED TO EACH INDIVIDUAL. I AM NOT ABLE TO GET PAST THE CALL CENTER FOR HELP.

- Consequence: These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules, and used as original equipment or replacement equipment. These inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
- Remedy: Chrysler will notify the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM owners. Mitsubishi owners will be notified by their company. Dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began on March 27, 2017. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Chrysler's number for this recall is S43. Note: This recall supersedes recall 14V-7700.

- Summary: Chrysler is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 Ram 1500 trucks manufactured from February 27, 2008, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through October 20, 2011; model year 2009-2011 Dodge Dakota trucks manufactured from February 27, 2007, through June 30, 2009, and from December 1, 2009, through September 30, 2011; model year 2009 Chrysler Aspen trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008; and model year 2009 Dodge Durango trucks manufactured from January 3, 2008, through December 18, 2008. The rear axle pinion nut may loosen due to an undersized pinion spline that can allow relative motion between the nut and companion flange.
- Consequence: If the rear axle pinion nut loosens, the axle can lock up and cause a loss of vehicle control and/or a vehicle crash with little warning.
- Remedy: On November 7, 2013 Chrysler notified owners that dealers would install a pinion nut retainer, free of charge. In July 2015, and under a consent order with NHTSA, the company agreed to offer owners three options for remedying their vehicles: perform the original remedy, offer to repurchase the vehicle at the fair market value plus 10%, or offer an additional incentive offer towards the purchase of a new Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, or Fiat vehicle. Chrysler will notify owners of the new recall options in a letter expected to be mailed on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Chrysler at 1-800-247-9753. Chrysler's recall campaign number is N08.
