Chrysler Aspen Engine problems by year

Chrysler has a major problem with their 5.8 Hemi engine. 12/16/2020 I paid $3791.07 To replace a bad camshaft and lifters on a vehicle with only 72,768 miles. After researching this problem, I find hundreds of others having the same issues! In contacting chrysler, they of course, refuse to accept any responsibility for this design flaw. Although this is not a safety issue, it is a major engine defect which needs to be addressed. I would be interested if anyone else has expressed their concerns about this problem and chrysler's complete disregard.

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.

Vehicle stalls repeatedly after filling up the fuel tank. The vehicle gives no check engine light or provides any obd codes to pinpoint the problem.

I put the car in reverse to back out of the parking space with my right foot on the brake pedal. As I was backing up the rpm's increased suddenly sending me speeding in reverse...

Every time we fill the gas tank ... The vehicle will stutter / shake when at idle or die completely at idle like at a stop sign or drive through window. It will restart after about 30 seconds. After it has been driven about 25-40 miles it stops happening. We have paid for total vehicle inspections, we have also paid $1300 to have every single problem a certified chrysler dealership can find fixed. This did not help the problem at all and the dealership says there is absolutely nothing wrong with the suv. ...

Vehicle shut off for no apparent reason while entering onto an expressway. Loss of power steering made vehicle difficult to control to safely get onto the shoulder. Sudden loss of speed made the vehicle a further hazard. Once on the shoulder, the vehicle could be physically keyed off, then restarted without issue. Cause of failure is unknown.

After filling the fuel tank, the motor shuts off while driving down the road. It used to only happen when you go past the first "click" of the gas pump. Today it did it by just filling the tank to first shut off. This leaves you with no steering, no brakes and no power while going down the road. This is dangerous on several levels. This happened while the vehicle was moving down a four lane road in moderate traffic with five passengers-two infants, two children and one adult.

I began accelerating onto a ramp to enter onto a major highway and my aspen completely loss all power suddenly. The engine just shut down including power all electronics. I had to let the car glide to the shoulder, put it in park and restart the car, which it stared as it always has. This has never happened before nor did it happen again. I had the car checked out and they couldn't find anything wrong. Being that this happened while entering a busy highway, a serious accident could have been caused.

The vehicle stalls while in motion regardless of road street or highway after refueling, we took the vehicle to the dealership and was told that the fuel tank & the on-board refueling vapor recovery system is faulty and that raw liquid fuel was going into the engine causing failing. We have little choice but to fix the problem, as this could potentially cause a fire in the engine and\or cause a potential accident as the engine stops while in motion.
