Used 2003 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
transmission, power steering, what next?
My 03 T&C Limited Minivan has been a major disappointment. With 40K miles, transmission needed rebuilding, power steering system entirely replaced. Now a water leak in front passenger seat has ruined carpet. I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle. Should have bought the Honda/Toyota. No wonder Chrysler's in trouble. Don't buy one!!
Everything Right
Unbelievable ride and decent handling. Captains chairs times 4, and third row seating that tall adults can actually be comfortable in. Sound system, DVD and other little knick knack ammenities make you forget your in a Minivan. Never thought I would own one, figure I'd get a top of the line now that I had to get one with arrival of bambino. Keyless auto doors rock!

Lemons but no aid
I bought this vehicle based on interior room and an impressive test drive. With only 1200 miles it needed major transmission work and has since been serviced again for the transmission and three times for a "check engine" light. On two occassions the van died completely while running. All told the car has been in the shop 30 days. Unfortunately, with only 18k miles, the car has lost over 50% of it's value (based on a quote by our Chrysler dealer). Beware of Chrysler quality and be aware that your Chrysler is not worth much after you drive it off the lot.
so far so good
Before we purchased this minivan, we did a lot of research on all makes of vans. Relability was strong factor in our descision; but not the only one. Even though Chryslers reliablity record wasn't the greatest, there were none with an outstanding record of reliablity. We've had friends and family with all different makes and models, each with their own problems and vowing never to buy that make or model again. When you factor in how far ahead the T&C limited is in comfort, ride, looks, usability, features, overall happiness and bang for your buck, there really is no other choice but the T&C limited.
T&C LXI review
Excellent vehicle, especially the handling. Love the interior and impressed with the quietness.
