Bought this van for a delivery route with 130000 on it. Just let it go with 265000 on it. Front end was replaced and power steering pump reservoir (This by the way will fix the power steering pump whine.) AC never worked bad condesor, never fixed just lived without. Other than that the van has been very reliable nothing but oil changes and transmission services. Put 400 miles a night on this van. Loved the sirus radio for the long trips. Did seem to go through some brakes. Would by another in a second resale value makes a low mileage one of these a real value don't know much about the 2008 plus design.

First van we have owned. Was skeptical from reviews from owners of earlier year models but it has been reliable. It is very nice to drive, handles corners well, is smooth going down the road and has all the room you need. The stow-n-go is great, can't believe it wasn't thought of sooner. The 3.3 is somewhat under powering, 3.8 should be standard on all models. Fuel mileage is around 22 average. Best van for the price.

One of the most comfortable, reliable cars I've owned. The engine is strong; the transmission too. But check underneath for suspension wear (tie-rods, etc.); have the alternator checked before you buy, and listen for power-steering pump sounds. Like most US cars, the headlamp covers get crazed; they can be polished down once. Unlike a lot of cars, the paint will last without peeling--avoid metallic colors especially silver. Electric windows are twitchy and you can't replace individual components--all or nothing. You can't attach a hitch; live with it. Take out the rear seat for a useful cargo carrier. Go over the car for mis-aligned panels which mean accidents. Change the oil religiously and this car will serve you. In 10 years I've replaced one radiator core, an alternator, a headliner, window motor, and a radio. The instrument panel is ok; it could use a tach, and check the fuel guage so you don't have to use the odometer. Fuel economy depends on care and highway speed. I get 30 mpg at 65 mph, even more downhill.

I just returned from a long haul with my van. I traveled the coastal highway into california, I 40/44, to missouri/arkansas and drove to Dayton Ohio and returned to Lakewood, wa on the northern hiways. (I90). I had to get a new battery, replace my abs sensor, buy two new tires and 3 oil changes. It was a pleasure to drive. It was comfortable for me and my service dog. I plan to keep my van and when completely paid for continue the payments into a savings account to upkeep my van. It is definitely a keeper.
A reliable Chrysler--go figure

As of December 1, 2016, I have 11 years and 85K worth of mostly urban stop-and-go miles on this workhorse. In spite of that, the only repairs have been one rear ABS sensor fixed under partial warranty and an EGR valve that tripped the check-engine light at 70k. The ride is pretty hard, but not much more so than my 2008 Sienna. Road noise, acceleration and braking were similar as well, though the Chrysler has slightly better steering. It's much nicer in every respect than the 2008-2015 model Chryslers I've rented, but hoping the new Pacifica is better. By the way, it's just now on its second set of brakes in all those short trips, so I'm not sure what to say about reports of poor brake pad life--could be driving habits or could be theirs had a defect of some sort. Anyway, never heard much good about Chrysler reliability but this one has been great.
