WHEN FILLING UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AT THE END OF THE FILL UP, GAS SHOOTS OUT OF THE GAS TANK. ABOUT 7-10 OZ SHOOTS OUT AFTER EVERY FILL UP. I AM NOT TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK, I AM JUST ALLOWING IT TO STOP AUTOMATICALLY. GAS SHOOTS OUT OVER THE VEHICLE AND ONTO THE GROUND. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON MANY CHRYSLER ASPENS ACCORDING TO A INTERNET SEARCH. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAD A SIMILAR RECALL ON THEIR DURANGO MODEL. *TR
MY 2008 CHRYSLER ASPEN, 5.7L HEMI, GAS BLOWBACK EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS. OCCURS AT DIFFERENT SERVICE STATIONS AND NO MATTER HOW SLOWLY I PUMP AT SELF-SERVICE. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS GAS HAS POURED OUT ON MY CLOTHING AND SHOES AS WELL AS RUNNING DOWN SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR
UPON PICKING UP THE VEHICLE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, I WENT TO GET GAS. WHILE FUELING THE TANK SPITS BACK FUEL AND ALSO DISENGAGES THE DISPENSING OF FUEL. I'VE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE EACH TIME. FUEL FILLER NECK WAS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE FUEL TANK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
