This van is not your answer!
The brakes last 6 months at best but the rotors have to replaced because they are thin and cheaply made and warp so bad they cause the vehicle to shake violently in the front end during braking. The suspension mainly the front is light weight flimsy steal and all the components fail because this is a very heavy vehicle with light duty junk parts. The windows will not work due to shorting out and you guessed it cheap window motors made in some third world country. Tires are destroyed by this vehicles poor suspension. Try a set a year! The rubber seals around the windows will work loose and fly off down the road. You will pay dearly for gas! The motor is loud and rattles.
Excellent for the money
This has been a great family vehicle for us. We've done regular maintenance and have had NO major repairs at all. We're over 100,000 now and still going strong. We were going to trade in before 100K but decided it was in too good of shape to let go of. Still drives really good and look great too!
Comfortable car but very unreliable after high MI.
Bought used for very little money with high miles as a truck for hauling stuff around. It is very comfortable, drives well but seems to be in CONTINUOUS need of repair. As it's hard to find a mechanic where I live I have become one myself! Taking it on long trips is a nail biter. I drive around with a jack, breaker bar, etc. in the trunk. It's replacement will be SIENNA... Update: As unreliable as before. I thought it might level out after a series of repairs but there is always a new surprise and never a boring moment!

Great van but not over 90,000 miles
I owned my T&C for 3 years...and I loved every minute of it! We purchased this van used with 61,000 miles and never had a big problem other than one issue with the power steering. But once we got over 90,000 miles it started literally coming apart at the seams. The plastic on the bottom of the driver's seat popped off. All the rear brake lights stopped working except for one. The speedometer died. Then the engine started knocking, and we knew it was time to get out fast. I loved all the features of this van, its comfort, the way it drove, etc. But the number of problems we began facing around 90,000 miles was just too many to justify keeping this vehicle.
Honest Review
We bought the car brand new. It has had 3 sets of brakes, 2 recalls on the power steering and we had to replace the transmission at 79K miles. The passenger window stopped working at about 40K miles, but was not covered under warranty.
