2000 Chrysler Town and Country 4 Dr LXi 4WD Passenger Van Extended
Review
seven years,original owner, never abused,never hit,used for driving small children, Chrysler maintained,38,000 mi. Why are things going wrong with construction of major parts,some tranny issues, no major engine interior lights from going on,five seventy five to replace, rear tail lights not working, side mirrors holding water behind the glass,side molding peeling, dashboard warning signals not lighting up. Other annoying defects that shouldn't be happening for an AWD with tow pack that has never towed anything.I love the interior and large cargo area. Love that all seats recline fully and 3rd row into a bed. Has a great smooth ride, handles great in the rain and slush. I would consider lease
Favorite Features
roomy interior,3rd row comfortable& reclines fully to a bed. Feel safe and secure on the road, handles great,has nice pick up with this larger engine in the tow pkg. largest cargo area I've seen. no major engine problems,
Suggested Improvements
four wheel drive option in a mini is what us mothers want, for snow season and beach access. Ideally second row windows too open for those car sick regulars, a bike rack htat doesn't have to be removed and tucks away when not n use. Hitch 7 tow bars to be included in tow pkg.

Review
The high speed sensor went bad at 94,000 miles. The original tires were replaced at 85,000 with Goodyear Assurance Triple Tread. It has been an excellent vehicle.
Favorite Features
radio controls on the back side of the steering wheel. All the controls are handy and work very well.
Suggested Improvements
An engine with 4 valves per cylinder for even better gas mileage.

I have used this vehicle to transport groups of people on trips without any problems. The driving experience is enjoyable. The engine power is adequate for me.
Favorite Features
A feature which I enjoy for relaxation is the heated front seat. There is plenty of leg room.

Review
We had a Toyota van before this that was nothing but trouble. It left us stranded six times. When I bought this one it was a breath of fresh air. We traded in our Camry and bought a 2002 T&C also. Never go back to imports.
Favorite Features
Seats. More reliable than old car
Suggested Improvements
More color options.

Review
This has been an affordable practical vehicle to drive with the exception of having to replace the speed sensor and having the tranny rebuilt at 75k miles. Transmisson shop and dealership said they see the Chrysler/Dodge minivans all the time with bad transmissions having to be rebuilt which I have also heard from other Chrysler/Dodge minivan owners. It's a shame Chrysler has a reputation for bad transmissions around 60-70k miles. About $1700 for rebuilt transmission. Nice ride and great features but poor reliability. No wonder there are so many for sale.
Favorite Features
Heathed leather seats, traction control, good sound system, nice ride for long trips.
Suggested Improvements
Improve the transmission. Unusual grunts and groans. Bad power windows.

Review
I will never purcahse another Chrysler product. The van looks great, but it's whats under the hood that counts. The gas milage is terrible in the city and we've had nothing but problems with this van. Even with an extended warranty the repairs are astronomical. Reading through the other reviews points out that pretty much every van seems to be having the same problems. A/C problems, heater problems, speed input/output sensors, window swithches, moisture in head lamps, dim headlamps, transmission modules, the list keeps growing every month. The worst part about it is you don't feel safe with your wife and kids riding around in the van for fear of another mechanical breakdown.

Review
We have owned this vehicle since 2/2000 and have taken many long distance trips with our family of four. Aside from a $2K reinvestment in the tranny at 60k miles, the van is a pleasure to drive and use for shopping and transporting large cargo. This never really was a flashy auto for me, but I like the affordability and utility of the T&C and would recommend it for that purpose. . . just keep an emergency cash reserve for unexpected mechanical problems.
Favorite Features
Cargo size, seating flexibility and pasenger capacity.
Suggested Improvements
3.0L is short on power and transmission broke down too early. (The vehicle kicked into overdrive frequently, and I tended to let that happen at will).

Review
We love this van. It has taken us from Denver to Las Vegas, Detroit (twice) and many trips to the mountains. It is our 2nd T&C and alas, will be our last. I have had it with the reliability of these vans. They are great to look at and drive, but I cannot take playing mechanical roulette with the transmission. The brakes are horrible and there always seems to be something wrong with the electrical system. At 50k, we had to replace the belt tensioner, idler pulley and crank pulley. It sounded like a flock of birds under the hood. Everyone beware, best to have a full, $0 deductible extended warranty. You will need it.
Favorite Features
Great looks, lots of creature comforts. Great on long trips
Suggested Improvements
Chrysler, please, please do some R&D on your transmissions and FIX them. They are smooth shifting, but absolutely terrible mechanical devices. With some decent reliability, these would be the best vans out there.

Review
I bought this T&C (my first minivan), used (30k miles), in Jan 2003. As a big fella, I immediately fell in love with the comfort of the driver's seat, and easy entry and exit. I've had a few mechanical problems (A/C heat exchanger,ignition switch) but, fortunately, I bought a great 3rd-party long-term warranty, and was completely covered for these semi-major expenses. My major problem is with city gas mileage. I get 11-13 mpg in short, local trips. Dealer has done everything (tests) to identify problem, but to no avail -- and no solution. Highway is 20-22 -- acceptable. After purchase, I found out that the original owner had to replace the trans-axle at 18K miles.
Favorite Features
Interior comfort, large cargo area, audio system. Great ride! And I really enjoy all the extra convenience features that come in the Limited.
Suggested Improvements
City gas mileage!
