While driving my 2008 aspen I've been having issues with the instrument panel lights flickering. I've only had this vehicle for 1 year. The problems started about 3 or 4 months after I purchased it. It started out only happening once or twice a month. Now it has become a daily problem. I had the alternator, starter and other things checked and everything was fine. I was driving last week and had to make a hard stop and the vehicle shut completely off. I feel like both of these present a safety hazard for me and other motorist on the road.

I just keep having to replace the turning signal module. The turn signal hesitates at times and then the opposite signal will come on or no signal at all. So far there has been no accident but clearly there's a defect in the system for this to keep happening. I'm having the same problem with the emergency signals also, they may or may not come on. Before I have to pay to have this replaced again it would be nice for someone to contact me in regards to this matter. *Tr
My wipers comes on every time I start my truck. On 8/3/14 it was raining and I had the wipers on high cause of heavy rain and they stopped working and would run slow. The wipers would intermittently malfunction and cause the wipers to become inoperable or it would operate abnormally. I also have problems with my the turn signals, the signal selected was opposite of the signal activated. When activating the left turn signal the right would activate. The same happens when the right signal is activated the left activates erroneously. *Tr

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

My turn signals are malfunctioning in my 2007 chrysler aspen .When I hit it to left, many times it will automatically start blinking right. Many times when it is blinking left, it will change and just start blinking right with no touching anything. Many times when I have it blinking left or right, it will stop blinking and not do anything at all. I would say 80% or more of the times it does one of these 3 things. *Tr
