Great Car
This was my 2nd Chrysler van and will buy another one in the next few days. It has withstood anything kids and adults could do to it and showed little wear. We have driven long distances with great comfort. Has withstood 96K miles with minor problems that could happen to any vehicle. We did have to replace the driver window motor once. Safety wise it's great as it was rear ended (totaled) by a semi traveling at high speed on a freeway and my 3 grandkids and I walked away without serious injury.
Overwhelmed with disappointment
Obviously seeing these reviews indicates significant quality control issues. We purchased vehicle new and things went well for the first year. From time to time, noticed issues with one of the rear doors not closing with the electronic motor, but everything has gone down since then. 15 days after warranty expired, had to replace the spark plugs and wires. Constant power drain led to replacing 2 computers. rear doors do not close reliably. rear door locks do not work. Transmission issues Passenger map light has melted. Starting issues, Interior has started falling apart The only thing worse than the car is the local dealer service department. DO NOT BUY!

T&C Limited AWD
This is our fifth Chrysler minivan and our 2nd T&C AWD. I'm not sure why people criticize this vehicle for it's lack of a fold-flat rear seat. The 50/50 rear seat on mine is fairly light, allows for greater versatility and, importantly, allows for the german AWD system down below. Why, too, is a dvd option so attractive? My children READ BOOKS or talk with their parents when we make long trips! This is a highly refined luxury car with some cool bells and whistles: the power rear hatch and center console are terrific options. We also love the heated seats...wouldn't have another new car without 'em.
Wouldn't buy this car again
Had a '98 Town & Country and was dumb enough to get a 2002 thinking in would be better. Both vans had odor problems with a/c - moldy. Chrysler said they couldn't smell anything. Both vans had the ignition cylinders go bad twice. I was stranded 4 times. The 2002 only has 53,000 miles (but repairs make it seem like $153,000) I've paid for passenger window motor to be replaced ($400), ignition cylinder 2X ($389), wires in crankshaft harness damaged from heat exposure manifold ($400), rack & pinion needs replacing ($1,000) Heater blower wouldn't turn off ($239), cracks in canister hose $130, replaced battery 2X, brakes replaced, serpentine belt replaced 2X, sliding door latch replaced.
186,000 + miles and no major problems
We bought our van new in Nov. 2001. It is the best vehicle we've ever owned. We get 35-40 mpg on the highway, less in city traffic. Avg. about 25 mpg overall. We have over 186,000 miles on our van and have only had a couple of problems. The motor on the sliding door quit at 125,000 mi, nice feature but we didn't feel we needed to replace it so had it disconnected. Low speeds on blower fan quit, just had that fixed. Take the seats out and you can get a whole dorm room or small apartment packed in it.
