I OWN A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 1500 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. I TURNED OFF THE MAIN HIGHWAY ON TO A SECONDARY ROAD, WHEN THEN ACCELERATOR WAS PUSHED THE ENGINE SHUTTERED BRIEFLY THEN ACCELERATED TO A HIGH SPEED ON IT'S OWN.

MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON AT LEAST TWICE A WEEK FOR NO REASON WHILE DRIVING. IT WILL STAY ON AND THEN GO OFF AT DIFFERENT TIMES. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND I EVEN TOOK A PICTURE OF IT HAPPENING WHILE GOING 70MPH. THE DEALER SAID UNLESS IT HAPPENS WITH THEM IN THE VEHICLE THEY CANNOT FIND THE ISSUE. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR MY DAUGHTER AND BROTHERS CHRYSLER AS WELL. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT JUST COMING ON FOR NO REASON AND THE DEALER STAT…

THE ASPEN LURCHED BACKWARDS APPROXIMATELY FIFTY FEET AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED, JUST AFTER BEING PUT INTO REVERSE. IT WAS STOPPED WHEN IT CRASHED INTO A GARAGE AND A TOYOTA PRIUS. THE PRIUS WAS TOTALED, THE ASPEN SEVERELY DAMAGED, THE GARAGE DOORS WERE YANKED OUT OF THE CEILING AND SHATTERED, AND OTHER PARTS OF THE GARAGE WERE DAMAGED. ANYONE WHO WOULD HAVE BEEN BEHIND THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME WOULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED. FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT, THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE REVERS…

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING IT TO LOSE BRAKING AND POWER STEERING. THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF WHILE AT A STAND STILL. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK AND SEEMED TO BE CAUSED BY A FAULTY FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE THAT IS BUILT INTO THE GAS TANK SO IT CANT BE CHANGED. THE WHOLE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE CHANGED AND THE FUEL TANK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. I'M FORCED TO DRIVE A TICKING TIME BOMB BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.
