Bought at 150K mi, currently 260K. Top of line w/ features that are costly new, but little extra in a used vehicle. AWD, about the last year that was offered. Engine is dependable pushrod type. Changed spark plugs and all cylinders measured >200 psig compression (like new). Only major problem was a cracked flex-plate, requiring transmission removal, so I rebuilt the tranny at 190K. Perfect inside w/ <2 mil wear on all clutch plates. Perhaps rebuilt before we bought it (no sticker). Engine injector wiring degraded near exhaust, causing erratic misfires. Common high-end problems - erratic electric doors, auto-temp blower "resistor" failed, power steering cooler hoses leaked (dealer-installed tow package), seat heaters failed, TPMS dings fussy messages (not paying $50/wheel to change batteries every 5 years). Power steering pump (Toyota type) has leaked several times at fitting and split body and is very hard to access. Changed all coolant hoses to silicone and waterless coolant so hopefully no more corrosion, rear valve cover has leaked several times. Changed timing chain at 255K, a bit worn but still in-spec, so not needed, and oil pump still in spec, but good time to replace the rubber O-rings (oil & coolant passages). Join //forum.chryslerminivan.net to learn tips and fixes, even if you rely on shops. Gazillions sold so parts are easy and cheap, except for special options like my AWD and Nivomat leveling shocks.

Driver/pass. window failure; cause motor/reg failure, replaced pass. 2X Driver 3X. Reported to dealer under warrenty couldn't replicate problem but after warrenty ends they diagnose malfunctions. Life-Time warrenty doesn't work if Dealer claims can't replicate problems. Trans fails after 90k mi, cost over $3K. P0601 trouble code, replaced PCM, cost $800. Alternator & belt tensioner failure. Engine grinding noise after turning off, cause timing belt. All 3 pwr doors don't work properly. Brake rotors over-heat,need replacing per 15kmi. More problems than can be listed.

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.
HOt MINIVAN !!!

You would think if you serviced you vehicle on time every time it would last..not so with this van. Sliding doors broke,arm rests fell off,power steering hose kept breaking almost wrecked on interstate,heated seats stop working,ate through brakes and rotors,tires costantly,shocks went bad,poor gas mileage,I kept taking it back to the dealer they would reset this reset that. transmission needed replaced at 109,000.
