Review
Bought the 2008 town and country in may of 2008 with 65,000 miles on it. It now has 69,000 miles on it and the transmission is not working. Will have to spend between $1500.00 to $2500.00 to have it fixed. What a piece of crap! I guess I should have listened to myself and stuck with a Ford! Very disappointed in this vehicle!

Building vehicle like this they should be out of business. Breaks and tires had to be replaced b4 25,000 miles. The vehicle constantly squeaks and has more interior rattles than a babies toy. The shifter broke off at 18,000, and the air conditioner had a leak at 22,000 and the fuel mileage has never been close to advertised (average of 16.9) and dealership response is lacking at best. One constant problem has been break noise. It has been to several dealerships while under warranty (more than eight times) and they can't fix the problem. They keep calling it dust on the brakws, all I know is it's embarrassing to drive.

Most other vans look like spaceships inside and out. The T and C has nice wood grain finish, well designed ergonomic controls, and Current body style is best in the class Has all the convenience factors- we have the swivel and go which the kids love Peppy motor with good mileage Reliable- no maintenance issues to date would buy it again

We just purchased our 4th used town and country. Overall they have been reliable with minor problems. This one we purchased about 2 weeks ago, this morning I started the van and it turned on however no accessories would work. No wipers, doors, fan, or radio ( will fill you in on this in a bit). The VES system with the van is great, when it is not freaking out and deciding if it this will be the day it quits completely. So to everyone out there that has had problems with the electronics PLEASE report it to Chrysler so we can get a recall generated!

Wow! Upgraded from a 1996 Pontiac Transport Se to a 2008 Chrysler Town and country brand new off the lot! Worse mistake I made in my life! At 300 miles transmission was slipping bad. Warranty replaced after about 18 times to shop! Brakes and Rotors have been replaced, gear shift has fallen off, lights go off when they want to. Doors lock 15 mins after take off and then today I find out I need to struts and shocks. Please save your money you will regret buying this vehicle. Never heard of a new car needing so much attention. My 96 has only needed minor maintenance! Oh and let me not forget that the a/c doesn't cool properly and always some type of recall! People run like hell!

Purchased in 2008, at 15,000 had brakes and rotors replaced, mygig system ceased and was told it would be 1269.00 to replace. Just replaced brakes and rotors again and also in the shop for calipers. So, even though cars in a junk yard have a radio if it gets a power supply, this 2 yr old vehicle doesn't have one. This is the worst vehicle I've ever had. I've been a loyal Chrysler/Jeep customer and will never purchase from them again! Customer service stated that I was out of my warranty to assist with the radio repairs and would not meet me 1/2 way either. All the electronic plugs are failing and backup camera has ceased as well.

We traded in our 04 TC because we were having so many "unexpected" problems. Dealership even admitted that it must have been a "Friday" build. Now i wish we had kept the old one. We are under 30,000 miles, front and back brakes and rotors replaced, not at dealer, don't trust them, water pump replaced, radiator cap replaced. Now we are back in the shop because the electronic locks wont work, and there is a spot on the passenger side floor that is always wet. Plus the side doors are awful, always opening after you think they have been closed. Dealer admits that it was a bad design. So frustrated that i can't count on this vehicle. I have 4 little kids and thought i was paying for something reliable!

In 2 years I've had a few minor problems that were corrected by the dealership, but no major problems including the brakes. Original brakes are still in good condition. I believe most people who write reports are just the complainers and the owners who are satisfied with their vans do not write reports, because they are happy with their vehicles and don't bother writing a report.

This Town and Country design was horrible. We've owned 3 minivans from Chrysler and this weight ratio to brake pad design caused us to replace the brakes every 12K miles. To top it off, the brake pad extended warranty was voided for us because we went to Midas after we were tired of paying the dealer ridiculous rates. We will never buy another Chrysler product because of this experience and the subsequent experience with Chrysler Customer Assistance.

Had brake work done early - like the others. Have had this work done under warranty so far: replaced radiator cap with faulty seal when overheating, refill freon & replace faulty hose when a/c quit, transmission software upgrades (3x's) because it clunks in/out of gear. Now has been in the service shop over 2 weeks for "Major engine problem" and failing wheel bearings. Also have had some minor electrical problems. Problems with door sliding (or not) open/close, that I forgot I need to tell the service guy until I read these reviews. Sure wish I'd read these 2 years ago, I'd be in a different vehicle.
