Review

We have had toyota,honda vans in the past. we traded in our toyota for the new chrysler t and c limited. We have had 4 navigation systems replaced,front bearings. If you can imagine we took the van in for an oil change and the dealer said our front brakes were metal to metal and the rears were 80%. The charge was $300.00 after a year our 6 year old twins have out grew the back seats,no leg room. Never Again.

not worth it

Review

had been to the dealer so much the service people knew me by first name. front brakes and rotors at 11,000 mi, trans locked up about same time. mult front wheel alignments needed, tires wore severely on outside edge. also, trans won't gear down low enugh to help stop loaded vehicle. I can go 70 mph downhill in 2nd gear, try that with any other make, won't do it! feel unsafe hauling family around. gas gauge hasn't read correctly since I got it, so I use the mileage for fill-ups, like my old cars I had long ago. dealer says nothing wrong. got a lifetime warranty on it, and will probably need it. reconsider buying this vehicle! I last had a dodge van bought new in 1994, had problems then,dumbme

Favorite Features

swivel and go with table, but when you want the light on at night, all the lights go on, especially bothering the driver in the front with the 2 bright map reading lights needing to stay on so those in the back can have their little light on to play games during drive.

Suggested Improvements

Have a dedicated light over the back table so driver can see to drive at night. price not worth the thousands extra to get the swivel seats and table. 495. for seats, but have to upgrade thousands to get the option. better care by the dealers, better product by the company.staying away from chrysler

2008 Town & Country Minivan Stinks

Review

What stinks? My new 2008 Chrysler Minivan. While driving home after purchase back hatchet came open without any warning. After driving turned engine off and key would not release. Back passenger doors do not close properly have to use handle most of the time. Brakes & rotor went out at 22,000 miles. Rotten egg smell. Air conditioning stopped working. Have taken to dealer over 10 times and they can not fix or duplicate any of the problems the first time. It takes them at least 4 times to get anything addressed. Dealership has been no help. And Chrysler has been even less. Way to go Chrysler. I will never buy another Chrysler product. Why can't you fix anything the 1st time? Chrysler stinks

Favorite Features

Like the extra's, but they come with problems.

Suggested Improvements

Quality, fix problems don't ignore them. Customer satisfaction should be your first priority not profit. If you put more time on fixing problems instead of creating problems you might get more customers. I am getting rid of this lemon as soon as possible. There are many issues with your vehicles.

Review

We bought the van shortly after the arrival of our 2nd child. We figured we needed the room and went with the most popular model out there. One week after ownership, the tire monitor goes off and there's a leak in the rim. Dealer replaces the monitor. Week later, its back. Dealer fixes it. 2 months later, its back. Meanwhile, the side door has stopped closing all the way. Dealer takes 4 stabs at it before ordering all new mounting parts for the door. 15,000 miles into ownership and the brakes and rotors are so far gone that they are in need of $300 replacement. Dealer tells me its common for this van and I can expect that every $15,000 miles. Value dropped so now I cant sell it. Yay Chrysler

Favorite Features

Gear selector location. Swivel rear seats that make a seating area. Amount of room for long trips.

Suggested Improvements

Better braking system.

Review

Our T&C is the limited, which has the 253hp 4.0 L V6. We're REALLY glad we paid up for that! The ride is outstanding, acceleration is excellent, especially for a family hauler like this. We opted for the "swivel and go" seats, and our kid loves it, especially on long drives. even quick trips to the store are silent and peaceful with the satellite TV in the back. Seems like a really solidly built car.

Favorite Features

4.0 V6, 2 DVD equipped screens with Sirius satellite TV, swivel and go seats, My Gig hard drive based entertainment & navigation system, comfort, ride, acceleration, bluetooth

Suggested Improvements

A little thirsty, especially for the first 5k miles. I wish that the nav system would detect a passenger and allow them to enter destinations and whatnot. No complaints otherwise.

I dont know what everyone is talking about. My minivan has been great! Everything works fine except the passenger side auto door wont close the first time we hit the button. Big whoopity do though. We drive this van everywhere and its been 100% reliable and we've had no issues whatsoever. Great van that I love to drive and the kids thoroughly enjoy being in on trips!!!

Favorite Features

Entertainment Package (Dvd, tv), Radio is awesome with the Gigs!!! My most favorite feature!! I love the heated seats and the auto doors and the remote start! LOL!!

Suggested Improvements

None.

Review

I can not say much bad about this minivan it rides very well, great on hihway mileage. It gets over 500 MPG on the highway and it has alot of great features and things to kee children busy.

Favorite Features

3 TVs, built in MP3 player, navigational and automatic push button doors

Suggested Improvements

I only have about 12,000 miles on my van & I had to replace the front brake pads & turn the rotors already.That was over $200!The dealer said that city driving is hard on any minivan because they are so heavy & all of the stopping & going wears on the brakes.I will probably have to do this yearly.

Review

First mini-van I ever owned. Got it because of the grand children. Great vehicle. Have 9000 miles on it. no issues what so ever.

Favorite Features

I like the comfortable seats. Better than the small car I have. My wife likes the Sirius and tv. She also likes the comfort.

Suggested Improvements

Better fuel economy would be nice but it is a big vehicle. May an electric mini-van would be a good idea.

Review

So far this van has been in the shop 5 times. Drivers side slid door will not stop when gas tank is open and no one can fix this! Shifts very hard and makes loud noise. AC quit at 14500 miles. Grill paint came off. Side doors will not always stay shut. My gig shuts off and back dvd turns off and on. This is the first and last Chrysler I will ever own!

Favorite Features

Stow-n-Go

Suggested Improvements

Make it worth the money.
