Review
less power than the 4.0L, but smoother delivery than the new 3.6L-i still like th 4.0L best.
this vehicle does serve its purpose - the rear dvd is essential with a car full of kids on a long trip.
the gas mileage isn't horrible -I average 19.5.
I do like the (faux) wood trim, and the soft leather accents on the seats is a nice.
tranny is smooth, shifts well.
I do like the styling of this version from the front better than the newer models.
the bads - all of the power door motors are LOUD, they work fine....the nav system is horrible - no touch screen, rotor dial for all intput.
no rear button for tailgate. much less cupholder/usable storage space-in the end-the '08and up solved all this

We bought the van new and have had very little problems, it has been very dependable, and comfortable vehicle. I am slightly disappointed
in the mileage 21 hwy, this is with correct air pressure in the tires, and new air filter. Coming from an suv I was just hoping for better. At the time of this review it is 6 years old with 78k miles, and the only problems have been a window regulator, and egr valve.
I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle to a friend.
Wish I had got the stow and go seating. Gave it an avg fun to drive, it is a mini van, and value on all new vehicles is a joke.

Search the Internet for town and country power steering and you will see that you WILL be replacing the rack and pinion, as well as pump. The next time you hear a whine when turning the shell, get your wallet out.
There should be a recall on these there are so many complaints.

I am very happy with my Town and Country. Handles great.Comfortable seating. Power when needed.Front brakes had to be done at 30k.I did purchase the extended warranty but so far so good. I had the middle row seat taken out as I bring my Labrador's to the lake or trips with us.

Purchase this vehicle new and have had it serviced for the airbag light coming on many times. The light comes back on before I make it home! The dealer never told me that while the light is on the airbags will not deploy if you get into an accident. 4 years down the road and a new dealer before I was told about the danger, parts have been on order this time since April 2010. Calling Chrysler consumer hot line doesn't seem to help. They say they'll check on things and call you back but they don't. I'm getting frustrated. How long do I have to wait for a part? In the meantime I'm driving a unsafe car.

We bought the van in 2007 from a Chrysler corporate fleet. Since then, it's gone through 2 power steering pumps, 1 rack&pinion, the sway bar and end links, a ball joint and the DVD player. It goes through brakes every 20K and now has a brake vibration that the dealer can't figure out. It pulls to the right and the dealer (Danbury Dodge/Chrysler in CT) told me "they all do that a little". Thank goodness I bought the extended warranty. Even so, the sway bar and end links were not covered under the supposed "bumper to bumper" extended warranty. I'm a slow driver and I've never gotten more than 20 mpg from it. I'd never buy another Chrysler or anything from Danbury Chrysler/Dodge/Hyundai/Kia

For the most part I have really enjoyed this van. The paint job isn't great. I bought it new and it seems like any small bump will chip the paint. My biggest problem is the brakes with about 75000 miles I am already for my third new set of front brakes. The back which I had checked recently are fine. Have read other complaints about this and think something must be wrong. Otherwise I really haven't had to do much with the van other then regular maintenance.

Needed family vehicle following job transfer to US. Previously would not have considered Chrysler. Tested numerous 2nd hand Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler T&C. Liked the T&C best, looks, comfort, fully loaded, and price. Like it more and more each ride. Been long distance, camping, around town, and always happy. Bought at 20K miles, now just under 50K miles. Brakes will need doing soon DIY). Water pump went on trip to Canada, and had to resort to dealership. Few minor issues with right sliding door.

Bought this van new. Its the second one. Had a 2001 LXi. It was much more plush than this Touring model. However, it has been trouble free to date except the front brake discs & pads needed replacement at 30,000. The 2001 brakes lasted 60,000 but they had original ceramic all around. That convinced me of the value of ceramic. Now for the good points. Most of miles are on the highway where believe it or not I drive at 67-70 mph and get from 24.5 to 31 mpg. Believe it. This van with a 3.8 L V6 gets better mileage on the highway than advertised for medium sized sedans. I must add that the 2001 van only had a electric window mechanism go bad and I was "talked" into replacing the water pump.

I bought one of these after we rented one to make our annual drive from Ohio to North Carolina. I fell in love with the Town & Country on that trip-- nimble handling, incredible comfort, easy to drive, tons of room, easy stow- away back seats. The one I bought is just as great. I love this car! Have had zero problems with it, and I've owned it for 4 years. I would never buy any other van but a Stow & Go Town & Country. The new 2010 model is supposed to have less engine power than my 2006, so I'm not trading in. If you're in the market for a Town & Country, I'd highly recommend a fully- equipped 2006 Limited with Stow & Go seating. Best road trip and everyday car EVER.
