I bought this car new. Have had no engine/powertrain problems. I have had to replace the motors in one side door and the rear door at 92,000 miles. This is the only problem I have had with the car.

We bought our '01 Limited new and now have nearly 80k on it. We've had to the dealer for different things over the years from a drivers window that wouldn't go up to seat heaters not working to sliding doors not working correctly. Not long ago we started having power steering pump problems. No real alignment or real tranny problems, A/C & heater work well. All in all a good vehicle although we're looking to replace it now and I don't think I'll go Chrysler again. Currently getting a very poor 14.9 city and 20+ highway.

Bought when pregnant with #2 and outgrew our Volvo. Wanted luxury and space. Have spent a fortune on repairs! Over $900 on a/c repairs. Transmission required over $1700 worth of repairs before 70,000 miles. Both power window and power liftgate stopped working. Both seat heaters stopped working. We are called frequent fliers at our service station. I contacted Chrysler about my disatisfaction with their product and they don't care. I will never buy another one.

Well I like the van a lot, It has a very smooth ride, and handles very good. Good mileage for a van ( 26 mpg hwy) The only thing that I might not care for is getting in the thing. I have neck and back problems, so I hit my head about 95% of the time getting in the van and I am only 5 foot 7 inches tall. Other than that the dual climate is great. The sound system could have a bit more power behind it as well now that I think of it! But it handles well and drives nice.

The original purchase was awesome but that quick deteriated when things began going wrong (right after warranty of course). A factory defect in a vent in the dash prevented the thermostat from working on the passenger side. Even though this was a factory defect, Chrysler refused to fix unless we paid. The last one was a washer motor failure for the front wipers. I am sick and tired of paying 200-300 for repairs on a vehicle less than 2 years old. Complaints have been filed with Chrysler and I will NEVERRRRRRRRR buy another (or recommend one for that matter) Chysler product. Its not worth the headaches !!!
Decent Minivan, poor service,poor resale

I traded in a 99 Chevy Venture for the T&C I now own. The chevy got much better mileage and the 3.8 was a better engine performance wise (My T&C has a 3.3liter). The only complaint other than that is the window control hub is poorly placed. My knee rubs against it and I find that very uncomfortable. My dealer claims to be a five star dealership whatever that means. I am not impressed,the attitude is we are number three and that's O.K. Sad, Chrysler has good looking products but the poor reputation lives on in the service department and the poor resale proves others still have low opinion about the product.My 2001 has lost 55% of its value in two years...
Might be the last Chrysler

Owned this van for almost 2.5 years. Brake rotors warped at 11K, dealership turned & replaced pads. Warped again at 26K, dealer says normal, not covered under warranty. Same time, experienced rough shifts into second. Dealership determined a seal was leaking and rebuilt the transmission. Tranny still is not working correctly, dealer says no problem. They broke the dash lights when fixing the tranny and now have on order an instrument cluster to fix this problem. Shop at this dealer is poorly run, can't list problems with thier service staff. Wonder if that might be most of the problem? Will be trying another shop in the next 2 weeks

So far so good... No problems at all. Excellent build quality, no rattles or squeks. There is some wind noise around the doors and some tire noise in the rear, but only minor. The sound system is excellent. My wife didn't want a van( she wanted a Tahoe) but likes the way it drives. Excellent value for the money.

I've had the 2001 limited for two years now. I put 5000 miles a month on it. It's at, three hundred and ten thousand miles. I use about a quart and a half of oil every 5000 mile oil change, I love the van. It rides great and is comfortable. With the seats out it's better than a pick up for hauling stuff. I know I will break four hundred thousand. The only repair work I have had to do is stuff that normally needs repairs, Alternator, battery, strut and rear shocks.

Vehicle looks good and runs good. Very good for families. Confortable for long rides around the country. The major problem is the cost to maintain it. After the first year, every time it went into the Dealership they would find several things to do and it would cost way too much. It could be poor Chrysler mechanics or a Dealrship that takes advantage of customer. Either way, I would not buy it again.
The worst car we have ever owned!

This car has been towed 6 times in 3 years. The battery needs to be replaced every 20,000 miles. We have had the radio replaced, AC problems, and window electrical problems. Recently, while driving with my 3 kids, the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Since then, the power control module was replaced, only to have the car break down again. Paid $300 to have it towed back to a local dealer since we were on vacation at the time. Just hope to get it running long enough to trade it in. Will never buy another chrysler....ever! It is a good thing my children and I were never driving on the highway when the car suddently died in the middle of the road - on 2 occasions.

Reliable as sunrise except for the power lift gate which does not now nor has it EVER worked right. Passenger side power window goes down fine but not up more than half way. (Recent development) Mileage in the upper twenties on the road Overall pleasant ownership experience.
I'm switching to foreign cars.

Bought the car for the smooth ride, looks, interior kid friendliness. Ended up with a car whose power doors have never worked properly (they can't find the problem). Replaced too many things to remember; rear wiper motor, seat heating units, A/C, radio, computer...on and on. Wipers/blinkers still don't work properly. You signal left and sometimes nothing happens and sometimes it blinks to the right. Wipers hit or miss wether they will even come on. Driver's window goes down and sometimes doesn't come up. Try that at the drive thru on a rainy day.This car was in the shop at least once a month in the first 12 mos of ownership. Still going on today, just on my $ now.
top of the line

Having both the 97 t/c and now 2001 t/c Perfect marks for HVAC. 2001 Infinity speakers not worth a hoot removed each of them replaced them with the '96 2000 series infinity. Now I have sound- Don't understand that blunder. Overall this machine is a long time keeper, as they said this is an IMPROVED vehicle. lights, disc breaks, gadgets, noise, seats score full marks plus.
Transmission Design Flawed!! Do not Buy

This Van has a flawed transmission design. It failed me at 95,000 miles. Such poor quality and Chrysler would not help pay. I would never buy Chrysler again. This car is a big mistake. Do not be fooled. Electric doors will go bad for sure. All of mine including the back hatch have failed twice. Buy Honda or Toyota, your money is too precious to waste. Very disappointed. Quality if very poor. AC has went out too. Run.
Never thought I'd say this, but

lookied at the Odyssey and the T&C...when you compare the spartan Ody with the feature rich T&C it is a no- brainer. As for the fold-flat 3rd seat - I just don't get what the big deal is, just not important to me. Reliability? People need to get over this obsession with Honda..reliable? yes they seem to be...but they areso stripped, there's not much to break. Mopar transmission? THe A604 transmission (the imfamous 4 spd) has been improved substantially by 2001..and as long as you use the right transmission fluid (ATF+4) the transmission is as reliable as any other... Ok ..said my piece...and I am LOVING my T&C Lxi - with leather, 3.8, loaded!
Very happy with my choice

I have had this car for 2.5 years. I rent lots of cars but I'm most happy in my T&C. No major problems and I have 48000 miles on it now. Go in for Oil changes every 4000 miles. Just put in new brakes. Took it on a motorcycle club ride. Some were looking for time off their scooters to ride in the van
