• 12/31/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME. I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS SO AS TO RULE OUT PUMP MALFUCTIONS AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AT EVERY GAS STATION I VISIT. SEAT BELT BUCKLES ALSO SHATTERED EASILY.

• 12/30/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  I HAVE AN 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WITH 41,000 MILES ON IT. WE BOUGHT IT THREE MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HAD A PROBLEM FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL EVERYTIME. ON SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO FILL THE GAS TANK, AFTER THE AUTOMATIC SHUT OFF IN THE FUEL NOZZLE TRIPS, A VERY LARGE AMOUNT OF FUEL WILL COME FLYING BACK OUT. THE FUEL SPLASHES BACK OUT ON TO ME, THE FUEL HOSE AND ALL OVER THE CAR. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND EVEN TRIED TO PUT THE GAS IN AS SLOW AS POSSIBLE AND STILL WITH NO WARNING, FUEL STILL COMES SPLASHING/SPEWING BACK OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP US ASPEN OWNERS TO GET THE FUEL PROBLEM RESOLVED???? SAFETY FIRST! *TR

• 12/30/2009· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  FUEL OVERFLOWS FROM GAS TANK ON 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN, AFTER STATION PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF. THIS OCCURS 100% OF THE TIME AT ANY GAS STATION. PROBLEM IS NOT YET CORRECTED, APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER THIS WEEKEND. THIS HAS OCCURRED FOR ROUGHLY THE PAST 2-3 MONTHS. *TR

  WHEN I WAS FILLING MY GAS TANK GAS STARTED TO DUMP ALL OVER THE GROUND. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE TANK! *TR

• 12/28/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VALVE IN GAS TANK THAT IS SUPPOSED TO KEEP TANK FROM EXPLODING DURING ROLLOVERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 GALLON OF GAS GUSHES OUT OF VEHICLE DURING FILL UP WHICH GOES DOWN VEHICLE AND ALL OVER PERSON FUELING. THIS IS A 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE POTENTIAL HARM OR EVEN DEATH. *TR

• 12/27/2024· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  When filling the gas tank up using the "fill lock" feature on nearly all modern fuel pump nozzles, when the tank gets full the fill nozzle clicks off and about a half a pint of raw fuel is "purged" back out of the tank filler neck. At first I thought this was a problem at a specific fuel station. I have since learned that it can do it anywhere, at any time of day, and at any temperature.

• 12/27/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  TL*THE CONTACT OWNS 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN. WHILE PARKED AND BEING FUELED, THE FUEL TANK OVERFLOWED WHILE BEING FILLED INSTEAD OF SHUTTING THE PUMP OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FUEL TANK AND GAS LINE NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

  IN FILLING THE GAS TANK, AS SOON AS THE PUMP STOPS A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SHOOTING OUT OF THE TANK. THIS EVEN HAPPENS IF I FINISH THE FINAL FEW GALLONS AT A VERY SLOW PACE OF GAS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON THE LAST THREE FILL UPS AND ALSO HAPPENED A FEW TIMES SOME MONTHS AGO. *TR

• 12/21/2010· POWER TRAINCrash

  ON 18 NOVEMBER 2010 AROUND 6 PM, MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF MY HOME APPROXIMATELY THREE FEET FROM THE GARAGE ENTRANCE. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE FOR THE NIGHT, I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, CLOSED THE DOOR, STEPPED ON THE BRAKE, LET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, STARTED IT, PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND DID NOT TOUCH THE GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY CYCLED UP TO 4000 RPM, AND THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STARTED MOVING FORWARD. I THEN HIT THE BRAKE TO NO EFFECT ON SPEED. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH THE GARAGE, IMPACTED MY STEEL WORKBENCH/TOOL CONTAINER, WENT THROUGH THE BACK WALL AND THE FRONT END IMPACTED THE GROUND SEVEN FEET BELOW THE GARAGE DROPOFF AND THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I REMOVED THE KEY AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. MY NEIGHBORS WITNESSED THE EVENT AS THE VEHICLE DROVE OUT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT INJURED, BUT WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AT FT BELVOIR AMC. SINCE I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A HOLE IN THE AC COMPRESSOR, FLICKERING OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE FOOT WELL LIGHT, LOSS OF IGNITION WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN 'R' IT WOULD FALL OUT OF GEAR. ALL WERE REPORTED OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS AT CHRYSLER DEALERS IN CA, MS AND VA. I REPORTED THIS TO CHRYSLER LATE NOVEMBER AND RECEIVED A LETTER BACK ON 17 DECEMBER FROM CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CLAIMS RESOLUTION GROUP STATING THE FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE THAT MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO THIS ACCIDENT. I FOUND ONLINE THAT CHRYSLER HAD VEHICLES RECALLED IN 2007 THAT HAD ACCELERATOR PROBLEMS AND THE ACCELERATORS WERE MADE BY THE SAME SUPPLIER THAT MADE THE TOYOTA ONES. HTTP://WHEELS.BLOGS.NYTIMES.COM/2010/06/04/CHRYSLER-IS-RECALLING-CALIBER-AND-COMPASS-FOR-ACCELERATOR-PEDAL-PROBLEM/ I AM PREPARED TO DISCUSS FURTHER ANY QUESTIONS CHRYSLER LEADERSHIP MAY HAVE, AS WELL AS PHOTOGRAPH AND VIDEO DOCUMENTATION AND WITNESSES TO THIS EVENT.

• 12/20/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE THE GAS TANK WOULD PROJECTILE VOMIT GASOLINE IF FILLED MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. IT WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP 3 OR 4 TIMES WITH SHORT TERM FIXES BUT REVERTS TO DOING IT AGAIN. THE GASOLINE AMOUNT IS SIGNIFICANT ALL DOWN THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, ALL OVER MY CLOTHES, AND ALL OVER THE GROUND. *TR

• 12/20/2010· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,SEAT BELTS

  EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF NORMALLY BUT WHEN I REMOVE THE GAS NOZZLE FROM MY TANK A HUGE AMOUNT OF GAS COMES SPEWING OUT AND SPRAYS THE SIDE OF MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE GAS PUMP. IT SOMETIMES SPRAYS OUT AS MUCH AS FOUR FEET AWAY. THIS IS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD AS WELL AS SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME AND ANYONE PUMPING GAS IN THERE OWN CARS AT THE PUMP ACROSS FROM ME.

• 12/18/2012· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  STARTING AT AROUND 85,000 MILES OR SO DURING FILLING OF THE GAS TANK, JUST BEFORE THE FUEL HANDLE SHUT OFF ENGAGES, AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF FUEL LITERALLY GUSHES BACK FROM THE FUEL TANK, SOAKING THE PERSON FILLING THE VEHICLE AND THE GROUND WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE BETWEEN A HALF GALLON TO A GALLON OF FUEL. WE HAVE TRIED MANY DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS, MANUALLY FILLING UP THE TANK, AND EVEN NOT COMPLETELY FILLING UP THE TANK ALL WITH THE SAME RESULT - ALOT OF GAS DUMPING BACK OUT ONTO PEOPLE, THE TRUCK, AND THE GROUND. GIVEN THAT GASOLINE IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE, AND THAT IT HAS BEEN PROVEN THAT SPARKS FROM STATIC ELECTRICITY AND CELL PHONES CAN EASILY IGNITE VAPORS, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH MANY CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (JEEP, DURANGO, AND ASPEN, MAINLY), AND CHRYSLER HAS INSTITUTED A RECALL ON VERY VERY LIMITED VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THE 2007 ASPENS AND DURANGOS, AND POSSIBLY EVEN MORE VEHICLES, SHOULD BE RECALLED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX THE ISSUE IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK, WHICH IS COST PROHIBITIVE FOR MANY PEOPLE. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SERIOUS FIRES AND/OR FATALITIES DUE TO THIS ISSUE. DO WE REALLY NEED TO WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR DIE BEFORE TAKING ACTION? NO OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM WITH AS MUCH REGULARITY AS CHRYSLER HAS. GIVEN THE TRAGIC EVENTS THAT HAVE UNFOLDED OVER THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS THE LAST THING I WANT TO HEAR ABOUT OR EXPERIENCE IS MORE CHILDREN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM. PLEASE TAKE A VERY SERIOUS LOOK INTO THIS, AND SINCE I AM LUCKY ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO PAY FOR A NEW GAS TANK I WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO GIVE YOU THE OLD ONE TO VERIFY THE ISSUE. PLEASE TAKE ACTION BEFORE ITS TOO LATE! *TR

• 12/17/2010· STRUCTURECrash

  MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN WHEN THE LEFT LOWER CONTROL ARM BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL AND AXEL TO COME OFF, WENT LEFT INSTANTLY AND INTO A 18 INCH DITCH, AND BROKE HER HAND. I CALLED CHRYSLER THE VERY NEXT DAY, THEY GAVE ME A CASE # AND SENT A MAN OUT TO TAKE PICTURES, HE DOWN PLAYED THE WHOLE THING LIKE THIS WAS NORMAL. LATER I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER SAYING IT WAS NOT THE FAULT OF CHRYSLER. I HAVE TAKEN THE BROKEN PART TO AT LEAST 10 PLACES THAT KNOWS ABOUT FRONT ENDS ALSO METAL AND WELDING SHOPS BODY SHOPS. WITHIN 10 SECONDS THEY ALL SAID IT IS A DEFECT. YOU CAN SEE VERY PLAINLY WHERE IT HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR AWHILE, OLD AND RUSTED, AND THEN THE NEW BREAK. NO OTHER CAR WAS INVOLVED , JUST BROKE OFF. CHRYSLER WILL NOT E-MAIL ME OR TALK TO ME ON THE PHONE. MY SUV WAS TOTALED AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY PAID ME BACK. BUT I STILL HAVE THE PIECE THAT BROKE OFF AND PICTURES. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THIS BEFORE A PERSON OR FAMILY GOT KILLED. IF THIS HAD BROKE OFF AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED MY FAMILY WOULD OF GOT KILLED, SHE JUST PULLED ON TO A COUNTY ROAD AND ABOUT A 1000 FT. IT SNAPPED OFF. NO LAWYERS WILL TAKE THIS CASE BECAUSE THERE'S NO MONEY IN JUST A BROKEN HAND. IF YOU NEED ANYMORE INFO. OR WANT PICTURES LET ME KNOW. EVEN AFTER I HAVE MY MONEY I THINK ABOUT THIS EVERY DAY AND WHEN I SEE ASPENS ON THE ROAD AND HAVE A CHANCE I WILL STOP AND SHOW THEM THE PART AND WARN THEM THAT THEY MIGHT WANT TO GET IT CHECKED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

• 12/16/2016· SUSPENSION

  THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM OF THE 2007 CHRYSLER ASPEN 4X4. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ANY BUMPS ENCOUNTERED ON THE ROAD SURFACE WILL RESULT IN A SUDDEN SHIFT OF DIRECTION, OR "JUMPING" OF THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAN POSSIBLY SEND THE DRIVER INTO ANOTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN MANY TIMES OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE. AS AN OWNER OF SEVERAL OTHER FCA VEHICLES (INCLUDING, JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE AND A JEEP COMMANDER) I FIND THIS VERY DISTURBING THAT NHTSA HAS NOT INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM AS IT HAS BEEN REPORTED ON SEVERAL OF THE CHRYSLER FORUMS. NO VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE THE FRONT END "JUMP" AND HAVE THE DRIVER SUDDENLY GOING IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION THAN INTENDED, THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY CONCERN. BUT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED EITHER BY FCA OR BY NHTSA, THIS MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF AN ATTORNEY AND A LAWSUIT BEFORE THIS GETS RESOLVED AS IT SEEMS TO BE A SMALL MAJORITY OF PEOPLE THAT ARE REPORTING THIS ISSUE. *TR

  THE DEALER CONTINUES TO SEND SAFETY REPAIR NOTICES BUT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PARTS TO REMEDY THE SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AT LEAST 4 TIMES AND THERE STILL SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE ON GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS.

• 12/07/2012· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  TURN SIGNALS FUNCTION INTERMITTENTLY WHEN ACTIVATED. RIGHT SIGNAL SEEMS TO WORK OKAY WHEN ACTIVATED BUT RIGHT SIGNAL LIGHT ALSO COMES ON WHEN STALK IS PUSHED DOWN TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN. TRYING TO INDICATE A LEFT TURN CAN ALSO RESULT IN NO SIGNAL LIGHT AT ALL. THIS CAN CONFUSE OTHER DRIVERS AND HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR MISSES ON LANE CHANGES AND AT INTERSECTIONS WHEN TURNING LEFT. SEEMS TO BE AFFECTED BY COLD TEMPERATURES AND AT THE PRESENT TIME GOES AWAY AFTER CAR IS WARMED FOR 15-20 MINUTES. CHRYSLER FORUMS HAVE INDICATED THIS TO BE A PROBLEM ON ASPENS. NO RECALLS ISSUED YET. *TR

• 12/05/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE AT THE GAS STATION, THE PUMPS AUTO-SHUT OFF FEATURE WOULD ACTIVATE AND SEVERAL SECONDS LATER, FUEL WOULD SHOOT BACK OUT OF THE VEHICLE'S FILLER TUBE. WE JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE (USED) ON NOVEMBER 19,2011 AND THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE FUELING THE VEHICLE SINCE THAT TIME. AFTER SOME ONLINE INVESTIGATION, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. NOT ONLY WITH THIS VEHICLE BUT WITH QUITE A FEW CHRYSLER VEHICLES IN GENERAL. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT IS SPILLED ON THE VEHICLE, ON THE GROUND AND ON MYSELF WHEN ATTEMPTING TO FUEL THE VEHICLE. *TR

• 12/04/2008· SEAT BELTS

  1. I PURCHASED A NEW CHRYSLER ASPEN IN 2007. 2. I TRIED TO INSTALL A CHILD SEAT IN THE MIDDLE ROW RIGHT WINDOW SEAT. DURING MY EFFORT TO SAFELY TIGHTEN THE SEAT A PLASTIC PORTION ON THE BUCKLE CRACKED. THE CRACKED PORTION OF THE SEATBELT IS WHAT PREVENTS THE BELT FROM GIVING SLACK WHEN A CHILD SEAT IS INSTALLED. THERE NOW WAS NOTHING FROM PREVENTING THE CHILD SEAT FROM MOVING PRIOR TO AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE SEATBELT ASSEMBLY REPLACED. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER I NOTICED THE REPLACEMENT PART CRACKED AGAIN NOT AWARE OF HOW IT OCCURRED. THE BELT WAS NOW BEING UTILIZED AS A BOOSTER AND DID NOT HAVE TO BE MANUALLY TIGHTENED. NOW A FEW DAYS AGO AFTER THE BIRTH OF A NEW CHILD MY REAR RIGHT SEATBELT ALSO BROKE. THE SAME PLASTIC PART FAILED DURING INSTALLATION OF ANOTHER CAR SEAT UNDER MY PULLING TIGHTENING PRESSURE WHICH WOULD BE FAR LESS THAN STRESS FROM THE INERTIA OF AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD TWO NEW SEATBELTS ORDERED. AFTER A FEW HOURS I REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS MOST LIKELY PART DESIGN AND POOR MATERIAL CHOICE AS OPPOSED TO A FAULTY PART. AT THIS POINT I AM NOT ABLE TO TAKE ALL MY KIDS WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE EVEN THE BELTS THAT HAVE NOT BROKEN YET ARE NOT SAFE. I ASKED CHRYSLER TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK DUE TO THESE DANGERS BUT THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT REFUSES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH I HAVE HAD THREE FAILURES I ONLY GENERATED TWO REPORTS. IT'S DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW BECAUSE I WAITED FOR TWO BELTS TO BREAK BEFORE TAKING IT IN. CHRYSLER IS ALSO REFUSING TO LOOK IN TO THE MATTER OF THIS PART BEING UNSAFE ON ALL THEIR 2007 CHRYSLER MODELS. THE LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE TO DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE THAT THE LIVES OF MY CHILDREN AND OTHER CHILDREN COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. NOW I AM STUCK BECAUSE IT DOES NO GOOD TO REPLACED BELTS WITH MORE FAULTY BELTS. I HAVE A 3 YEAR OLD, A 19 MONTH OLD AND A 1 WEEK OLD BABY THAT I CAN'T EVEN TAKE TO THE DOCTOR BECAUSE THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE. *TR

EACH TIME, THE LIGHTS WILL GO OFF BUT 2-3 DAYS LATER COME BACK ON. TOOK CAR TO DEALER WHO REPLACED A SENSOR AND RESET CODES. 2 DAYS LATER, LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. TOOK BACK TO DEALER. DEALER NOW SAYS MY FUEL TANK NEEDS REPLACING DUE TO A CRACK CAUSING A LEAK! THE VEHICLE HAS 43K MILES ON IT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM SAFE TO ME- I KNOW THAT THE DURANGOS AND ASPENS HAVE HAD LOTS OF FUEL TANK PROBLEMS AND THERE IS NO REASON WHY A 2007 WITH THIS AMOUNT OF MILES SHOULD HAVE ANY FUEL TANK PROBLEMS! UNSAFE! THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $780 TO FIX. UNFORTUNATELY, BEING UNEMPLOYED, I CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX. HOPE A FIRE DOESN'T START IN MY VEHICLE! *TR

  WE WERE DRIVING AND WE HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE, GOOD THING WE WERE DRIVING TOWARDS DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE WHEN THE CLICKING GOT WORSE AND WORSE. WHEN WE GOT TO DEALER WE TOLD THEM THAT WE HEARD WEIRD NOISES COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. IT CAME OUT BEING THAT 2 STUDS FROM REAR OF ENGINE FROM THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN OFF. THEY SAID IF WE CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE 2 STUDS BROKEN THAT THE WHOLE ENGINE MIGHT FAIL AND U COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THAT THE VALVES COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE ENGINE IF DRIVEN WITH EXHAUST LEAK OR ANOTHER SCENARIO IS THAT THE EXHAUST LEAKED COULD CAUSE A FIRE . I WENT ONLINE TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE RECORDED THAT THE STUDS HAVE BROKEN AND ITS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH DODGE RAMS, DODGE DURANGOS, AND CHRYSLER ASPENS. THEY SAID THAT HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE STUDS. WERE GONNA SPEND 450 FOR 2 BROKEN STUDS. HOPEFULLY WE HAVE NO DAMAGE IN THE VALVES.
