Used 2003 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
don't buy a chrysler town and country
We had to replace the engine at 14,000 miles. Also, nuisance fails like, wheel speed sensor (same side twice), the turn signal won't shut off by itself. Now the engine is vibrating at any and all speeds including idle. It comes and goes without warning. When I tried to get a loaner from the dealership, he had six people ahead of me with transmission replacements, and guess what? They were all Dodge and Chrysler minivans!!!! I'm buying a Toyota. They are one of the only American made vehicles these days anyway.
1st class, but expensive
Powertrain: Smooth, reasonably fuel efficient, good acceleration around town. Transmission shift superbly and chooses gears well. Car can lug effortlessly at very low rpms without problems. Ride and comfort: 1st class HVAC system. Seats are firm but shaped well. Ride (I have the towing pkg.) is surprisingly firm but the vehicle maintains excellent composure...feels like a Euro-tuned sedan. Ride is quiet, especially road noise. Wind noise is well muffled. Fit & finish and quality: A Couple rattles and one creak on pass. sliding door. Materials and look are best-in- class for now. Slick instrumentation lighting.

transmission is horrible. this has been the problem with my last three chryslers. Have had in shop numerous times for this and rack and pinion steering awful
6th mini-van .. and will buy again
This is my 6th Chrysler mini-van. We have had one since the day Chrysler introduced min-vans. Really. This one is the same as the rest. Reliable, great on mileage for what it does (got 26 on the highway last week at 65 MPH with a van load of stuff), comfortable. Wish this one had the towing package and self-leveling my 2001 had. Kids are gone now and this is still my choice for most flexible 'car'. full leather seats during the week and a full load of sheet rock or lumber on the weekend. And she never complains. I'd get a newer model but there's nothing wrong with this one so why trade side-ways?
Not So Great Quality
To start off, my van only gets 11 mpg. It has had the transmission rebuilt twice, has had 6 sets of rear Infinity speakers & 2 radios because of a buzzing noise. Has been in the shop a lot, but it goes great in the snow and is very comfortable. Probably would buy again but would have wished it was more reliable.
