Note that a problem with the fuel-filler system may cause gas to spew out while filling up. This isn’t likely a problem you’ll notice on a test drive, but be sure to ask the seller if they’ve experienced this issue. A technical service bulletin was issued by Chrysler to fix this problem.
Check for proper operation from all power windows and the sunroof, check that all interior electronics work as expected, too. Proper operation of the climate control system should also be confirmed, and shoppers are advised to check for rust on the bottom edges of the doors as well.
Hybrid-powered models experienced low sales numbers, so reliability information is patchy at best. Some owners report dead 12-volt batteries in colder climates, as well as frustrating electronic and drivability issues – so an Aspen Hybrid is a good candidate for any extended warranty, should the buyer decide to purchase said model.
The Verdict Of A Used Chrysler Aspen: The Aspen Hybrid is difficult to assess in terms of reliability in the used market, given its low sales volume – though the standard model appears to be relatively reliable and free of glaring mechanical problems. Expect a pleasant ownership experience and plenty of style and capability from a well-maintained used model.
