I had a Honda Odyssey before this that went through two transmissions, ate dvd players, rotors and pads were replaced every 5k miles. No problems what-so-ever with the Chrysler. Great Van. I would recommend it to anyone. Great service. Washed my van when I came in for my first oil change. Never go back to Honda

I love the van and the power sliding doors and rear hatch are great for dropping the kids off at school. I do not think that Chrysler chose the best possible design as the rear hatch has been repaired twice and between the 2 sliding doors there have been 6 repairs. Plastic trim pieces on stow-n-go seats as well as driver seat have broken in just normal use. Engine and drive train are working great as a matter of fact if it weren't for all the power door problems I would have given the van a 10 for reliability. Paid for features should last as long as the vehicle.

Have had Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth vans for many years. Currently have 51000 on this T&C and have had too many problems with it. Under warranty: driver power window motor, tie rod end (was not lubed at factory), battery, and insturment panel lights. After warranty: battery went out again, power steering pump, and water pump. Why do both of these pumps fail after only 51000 miles? Service writer said they cannot replace 2nd battery even though it was within the 24 month free replacement period because I was over the 36000/3 years and the original battery had been replaced under that warranty. Very unhappy with reliability!

This is our 3rd TnC van and it has many comfortable features that make long trips possible for a family of 6. I'm happy with the larger 3.8 engine for acceleration and the mileage is OK at 19 mpg in town 21 on hwy. I do Love the stow and go bins. However, the AC went out at 18k miles (a known Chrysler issue & a 2wk back ordered wait for parts). Now 2 mths later the passenger sliding door motor is shot, the dash board lights are flickering like a strobe light, & a strange new humming in back? All under warranty, but also under 27k driven. What's next! Yes, the factory brakes are garbage and need replacing entirely too soon. Don't wait if they squeak at all or new rotors will be in your future

What doesn't break on this thing. In 46K miles the rear liftgate motor had broken, the dvd navigation unit won't read disks, the AC died, the windshield wiper motor died, the power lock solenoids are screaming, arm rest broke, rear suspension rubber stop fell off, 6 disc changer lost a channel, lower driver's and side door rubber seal fell off, dash speaker died and all the shocks/struts have worn out.

I wish I did more research when shopping for a van. I was pleased with the price tag and amenities I was able to get with my Town & Country. The initial investment may have been lower, but I have had the van 2 years and have spent WAY too much on servicing it since!! I've had problems with the air conditioning, tires, brakes, air bags, sunroof and other "unknown" squeaks, squeals and plastic parts falling off in the interior. I tried selling the van once the repairs started occurring regularly, but the resale is HORRIBLE! I would have to pay out over $7000 to get rid of the van - so I am stuck with the piece of junk. Do not buy a town & country! I will not make this mistake again!

Overall am well satisfied with the van. Love the disappearing seats! Gas mileage: 19-20 city, 22-24 highway. 35,000 miles and it needs new front pads and rotors ($284). Not what I was expecting!

I bought this van new June 06 has the 3.3 L v6 short wheel base model. The gas mileage is terrible 15 freeway i couldn't believe it, my wife drives the car mostly and drives with the kids in the car. The front brakes squeak and make grinding noise a lot of brake dust, get very hot and wear out every 20,000 miles like clock work. The rack and pinion power steering was replaced at 25,000 miles, passenger sliding door power lock replaced at 30,000 miles, transmission shifts hard you feel every shift. Dealer has answer for all, everything is normal, front brake noise and wear normal, 15 mpg freeway normal. I think the dealer is full of blank. last Chrysler i buy. Dont buy a town & country

We chose the town and country because it was the only Minivan i fit into comfortably (6'4"). We have grown to really love it and I particularly love the stow and go seating. However, it has been the least reliable car I have every purchased. The in the first 18 months of ownership we had to replace one tail light twice and the other once. The e-brake sometimes "snaps" and needs to be re-engaged (Dealership could not do anything about this) and the two front brakes wore down to the metal in about 12K miles and 20 months (warranty is 12K miles and 12 months). The dealership told me I should expect the brakes to wear out significantly faster than Honda, Toyota, or Nissan.

I have had it with Chrysler, I have had window switches, gascap, door locks rack and pinion, and now air conditioner will not work, only 2000 miles out of warranty, Chrysler will pay for parts if you call and complain enough, but takes forever to get parts, 10,000 on order, if they are having that much of a problem I think they should do a recall, but if you are having problems call and call they will send parts for you and all you will have to pay is the labor, which by the way, costs way too much! I hope this helps anyone with same problem
