This is the worst car i have ever owned, i had this car for a week brand new from the dealership and it started overheating, i could't believe it, almost every other week the vehicle has some kind of problem. Do Not buy this vehicle you will regret it, it looks all nice but it's not, it gives so much mechanical problems. i bought a new car not to get any kinds of mechanical problems at least for the first years but it is problems after problem after problem, so like i said before if you are smart DO NOT BUY THIS CAR.

My 2008 Chrysler mini van has had a host of problems, the electrical system had to be repaired, the brakes and rotors went at 17000 miles,the tires were inferior quality and the air conditioning didn't work the first time I turned it on. One year later after the problem was "fixed" I have the same issue with the air conditioning which is not a lot of fun when the mercury reaches 90 degrees. I think Chrysler needs to try to improve their quality standards I would not purchase again.

I like all the other t & c owners have had brake & rotor problems. I have 25,000 mi. & have had the car in for new front brakes & rotors. Now they tell me my rear rotors have rust & need to be replaced or I have to continue to listen to a very loud squeak. I don't get it, obviously they need a recall on 2008 town & country minivans. never will buy again.

Purchased used with 18000 miles on odometer. I currently have 30,000 miles and have not experienced and problems. Very satisfied with my minivan. My eight year old and her friends love all of the kid friendly features, especially the satellite TV. Great vehicle for our lone drive auto vacation to Myrtle Beach, and perfect for my long weekend golf trips with three buddies. Love the navigation that give much more information than how to get from point A to B. Really comes in handy when on golf trips in unfamiliar locations and trying to find restaurants, movies, etc. So far so good. Thing negative to report.The best appointed mini van I have seen. Surprised by the many negative reviews.

Two years old - multiple problems with sliding doors, cost me $300 to fix an A/C line that failed. Dealer AND corporate both know this is a problem. I still got a bill. Engine has made a weird pinging noise since we bought it. Svc mgr has all but told me I'm being ridiculous "They all do it" Really? Show me how all T&Cs on your lot are doing this. Rear of van started pouring smoke while idling. Paid $89 tow bill to be told they have no idea why it did it & can't reproduce it. Runs hotter than it did, though. Going in tomorrow for horrible squealing from the rear end while driving & turning right. Expect to hear it's the horrible brakes. Lots more. Wish I could send it over a cliff!

I purchased this van 4 months ago. Since then it has been in the shop for problems with door alignment 4 times. The motor on the fan has gone out and been replaced and have replaced the front brakes. This has all occurred before 36,000 miles. The transmission also slips, so I am sure that will need to be replaced at my expense as well. I hate to see what is to come with this van until I can trade it for something that has better quality.

Just like all the reviews before me. We had a lot of problems with rotors and brakes. We replaced brakes at 16,000 miles and just now at 47,000. I mean , come on! We have had many different vehicles before and never had to replace brakes like this.WE replaced rotors at 47,ooo miles also. At 35,000 we had to replace a piece in the transmission. My old Town and Chrysler was never this bad. Chrysler really needs to fix this problem.My touch screen radio and dvd player also was replaced at 20,000 miles, and sometimes when you start the van it won't come on for a few minutes. next time we buy, it won't be from Chrysler.

I bought this mini van for my wife and 4 kids. It has the 3.3L V6 that is a TOTAL FRIGGEN DOG!!!! The real problem is the STUPID "fly by wire" throttle, if you mash the accelerator to the floor it only limps along and will NOT open up the throttle to 100%. I consider this a HUGE safety hazard. If you drive in heavy traffic you DO NOT WANT THE 3.3 L V6. It does not have the power to get out into traffic and up to speed in time to keep from getting run down by other traffic. Other than that, it's a mini van. I drove it from Illinois to Arizona, then up through Utah to Colorado and back to Illinois with the wife, 5 kids, and luggage on board. It was crammed but comfortable.

Within 2 years & less than 16,000 miles, i have had A/C problems 2x, sliding door issues, 3 tires w/leaks, battery needed to be replaced (i wound up paying a shop after a dealership said it would take them a week), glitches in entertainment system & braking! Chrysler fixed some (i still have A/C & and tire problems which i hope they will address) but gas mileage has also been horrific. Driving on highway I manage to get 16 & I am not a fast driver; I also do not idle the car, but barely get 11 driving locally. it is big and boxy, which some might like; we did good use of the DVDs after the repair software, but I still have to turn the engine off on sometimes to get it to work. 3rd is decent.

First of all, I only leased my MV because my baby, my beautiful 204 baby blue Pacifica, was totaled in a front end collision. Everyone walked away from that with only minor aches and pains - a true testament to the early models of the Pacificas. We went to the same dealership that we bought the Pacifica, only to learn that the Pacificas were being discontinued. So we leased the T&C van instead. I have 26k miles and have to replace FOUR rotors and FOUR brakes, for over $700. On a leased car. Still under warranty. I thought the rotors were included between the bumpers, but apparently not in this universe. AVOID AT ALL COST.
