Review

I bought this van new in December 2002. I had 4 recalls and a number of other problems go wrong with this van. 1. power steering pump leaked. 2. The oil was mixing with the coolant. 3. the front right tie rod broke. 4. the a/c unit quit working. 5. The sway bar bushings wear out every 6 months due to the cheap plastic material that is used. 6. the rear windshield wiper takes five min. just to wipe once ( no lie). 7. The dash board indicator lights (park thru 1st.) gear all light up, so now you do not know what gear you are in. that is all in the first 3 years / 36000 miles and good luck getting anything fixed under warranty after that. I have bought one dodge and Chrysler, and will never buy anothere.

Save your money and buy a Honda product. It might cost you a couple thousand more, but you will never be sorry you did. Do not make the same mistake that I did. I finally purchased a Honda vehicle in 2004, and I have not had any problems.

Suggested Improvements

When you build a product that's junk, do not expect repeat customers. read consumers report, they will tell you what vehicles have fewer problems. Like I said before I will never buy a Dodge or Chrysler again due to all the break downs and repair bills.

Review

We bought this van new, soon after the drivers window stop working for 2 yrs, then the transmission went bad had to get rebuilt one, $1500 later, now the van shack bad and makes a clicking noise when you start and stop, and the electrical box I found out is all rested inside and so are my wires, they never sealed the box to keep moisture out, then my brake light and dash light were going off and on due to electrical, brakes feel really bad, every year were replacing them, but still it don't feel right, my van only has 66,000 miles on it, and all these problems. I will never buy a Chrysler again!Oh I forgot the ac hasn't worked in 2 years.

Review

Good riding van. Not meant for tall people, I am 6'8". Everytime the van is taken in it is another $200-300 repair bill. I guess it is because of the high annual mileage but still it adds up.

Favorite Features

Easy to drive, handles well. Gas mileage is OK but not great.

Suggested Improvements

Better transmission. This van is plagued by the town & country curse of faulty valve stems $1300 for rebuild.

Chrysler Auto Trans Stink

Review

Everything was humming along smoothly for three years, until 68K miles. Then the tranny leaves my wife and three kids stranded on a country road. Luckily it was under warranty, but they rebuilt the old crummy tranny instead of putting in a new one. Predictably, a year later at 88K the torque converter locks up 150 miles from home. I have a 2000 Neon with a manual tranny that's one of the best cars I've ever owned, but I will never, NEVER buy another Chrysler product with an auto trans. I've read too many bad things about them. I can't trust a company that will not fix a widespread problem on one of its top-selling vehicles. That's a sign of a company that has contempt for its customers.

Favorite Features

Lots of capacity. Good minivan overall MPG (22) in the 4 cyl with surprising acceleration, although it does struggle on an uphill interstate. Comfortable seats with easy ingress/egress. Base sound system is better than anyone else's. Climate control is great even without tinted windows.

Suggested Improvements

Fix the bloody transmission problems! It's been 15 years or longer with this issue! Put some of that MB know-how into making a drivetrain stout enough for everyday family usage. There's no excuse not to.

nothing but troubles

Review

Although the van is roomy and has the great outlooks, I have nothing but troubles since I bought it. I have had to bring it to the dealer 5 times for repair in the 1st year. Since I had the car 4 and half years ago I have being gone to dealership for more than 10 times for repair. Common problems include air bag, engine, emission and exhaust. Recently a possible transmission problem may occur because it begin to have a very rough downshift. It is my first Chrysler product and surely will be the last.

Favorite Features

Outlook, connected 2nd row sits and color (darkgreen)

Suggested Improvements

2.4 horsepower is too little for a van. can't even keep up the tranfic flow uphill
