The steering jerks and car shifts when I hit a pot hole of bump in the road on my 2007 Chrysler Aspen and it has almost caused us to loss control of the vehicle a few times, you never know when it's going to happen or I would Dodge the hole. Very scary when it does happen. We have had the front end checked and then tell us there's no problem. It doesn't happen unless your driving over 40 mph and when your driving 65 on the highway, it's going to get someone killed one day. There's not a specific day, since it happens every time you drive it and hit a hole or bump in the road. We have owned it since it was new and always had the problem. We are also having a problem with the air conditioning, we have installed 3 compresses, dryers it will not cool this last time it was in the shop 8 days. They must have installed and removed every part that would cause it not to cool, still blows hot air and it's already 95+ degrees outside. My elderly mother drives this Aspen and it use to be a great car, but once they break you might as well buy something new. It's no wonder they only make the Aspen 3 years. Worst and most dangerous vehicle ever.

In the last year I noticed the car is getting more bouncy. When driving on the city streets, if I hit a pock hole or bump it shifts the car over and it is worse on the freeway. Going over the bumps bounces the car up and over!! this is not safe especially on the freeway or any road, which could cause the car to shift into the next lane. My son in-law even noticed this when he drove it!! the suspension feels too loose!! what can be done about this? this is not safe!! there is nothing in the car manual!!!

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Aspen limited. The contact was driving 5 mph when a noise emitted from outside of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the dealer confirmed that the wheel bearing needed replacement. The manufacturer was contacted and the vehicle was repaired. The failure and current mileage was 80,000. Updated 11/01/11 updated 11/02/11
