My 2008 Chrysler Aspen floor board and seat belts are drenched with water when it rains. The truck is leaking and allowing water to get inside the body of the truck. I had to replace my radio and other computer components in my truck because this is what the dealership told me was the problem. My truck was fixed at Lander's Chrysler Dodge and Jeep in Southaven, MS about 2 years ago. It's now doing the same thing again. This has to be a defect of the truck because I have not had any other major problems. The...

first repair cost me over $2000 dollars. Because of the water leaks, my truck carries a molded smell. My doors have to be oiled for the rust. I have to use a towel to wrap the seat belt. The water stands in the floor on the driver's side floor board. Now, my check engine light, Eps light, traction light, and a clicking sound under the hood and heater malfunction persists. Please help! Please investigate.
Suspension: every time you hit a bump or pot hole the vehicle throws you across the lane. Fuel tank: every time you fill the gas tank up and when the pump clicks off the gas spits out of the tank and lands all over you and the vehicle. Electrical: the dashboard will light up with the oil symbol flashing on and off. Air conditioning: the compressor blows hot air and now the engine speeds up like it's going to explode.

June 11, 2019. The vehicle shuts off while driving without warning both on the highway and local road. This has created an unsafe condition for the driver and others.

again. The car will not start. Chrysler service advised changing the junction box (chrysler service installed junction box) and the owner was responsible for the power control module. 8/30/19 The pcm was installed and initially, the car did not start. It was determined there was a blown fuse in the junction box. Changed the fuse and the car started and was driven for a day. The next day the car shut off while driving on the highway. Changed the fuse and the car started and was driven for about 1 mile and shut off again while driving. The car continues to shut off while driving creating a safety hazard to the public.
Vehicle engages 4wd lo and 4wd on it's own at any time. Driving this vehicle is dangerous at the transfer case engages automatically while driving. I can also hear 4wd engaging while locking the vehcile with the key fob. This is a well documented issue on the internet and I have read hundreds of stories of people with the same issue. Dodge/chrysler will replace the transfer case motor which temporarily alleviates the issue. The problem is electrical and dangerous. At the very least, this problem can destory a differential and in the worst case, cause a vehicle to go out of control on a highway/motorway. This issue is prevalent in dodge durango and chrysler aspen vehicles.
Fuel pump short circuit. After pumping gas the truck will not turn on. Short circuit from the pump to the starter. After turning the key to power on the truck all the gas spilled from underneath. I drove to my kids school at 230pm , after leaving powered on the truck to roll the window down and thats when all the gas spilled from underneath.
My four wheel drive automatically engages. Dealer wants me to spend money on parts and are only guessing that those parts will fix the problem. Not once have they checked the wiring. The engagement happens when stationary (unlocking the car). Sometimes when I turn at very low speeds. The lights come one when driving high speed but nothing happens. The following lights turn on: 4wheel service, electronic stability. I feel it is a wiring problem.
Persistent dead 12v battery. Even after replacing the battery, truck will be dead within 24 hours of not being driven. All lights are off and keys removed. Battery will be dead in a less than a day after running just fine requires a 2 second jump from another vehicle to start. .
While driving speedometer was reading 0 miles while the car was in motion. Put the car in drive it was reading reverse. Put the car in reverse it was reading drive. Lights flickering were the mileage was reading then finally light completely out for the milage
The svc 4wd indicator light won't go off and the vehicle is stuck in 4x4
Steering problems had rack and pinion replaced, inner tire rods replaced, lost control of vehicle, outer right tire rods broken, very fortunate my family and I not hurt (70mph on i95), replace outer tire rod, play in steering replace steering yoke. Also water gets into electrical system shorting out computer. Do not know how water gets in, can not see from inside of vehicle, but can sometimes hear water sloshing around.
When the alternator started to fail the driver's dashboard such as the speedometer and any other instruments malfunctions. While driving the speedometer would reed 0 miles per hours even though the vehicle is in motion. I have recorded the issue in a video format.
For no known reason my 2009 chrysler aspen 4x4 will engage on its own, I have repeatedly taken it in to the dealership (which by the way is horrible) they can not figure out what the problem is . However since I have a lifetime warranty they have claimed I need every single part covered under the warranty with not results. The first time I called the dealership regarding this I was told to bring the truck in immediately as this is an extremely dangerous problem due to the fact when it is engaged the truck will...

loose power. It engaged while I was on the freeway doing 70 mph and dropped instantly to 20 mph and would not go over 35mph. My overhead console, dash and radio at random go out. According to the dealership I needed a new radio 3 times each time the radio would start working again for the same reason it stopped, unknown. I turn on the turn signal they flash between left, right and hazard.
