The biggest drawback to this vehicle is the body as it is beginning to rust badly belows the doors. This can also be seen locally here in Michigan on numerous other Chrysler T&C and Dodge Caravan/Grand Caravan vehicles made around 2005. This is quite disappointing because for us this has been a great minivan.

One of the most comfortable, reliable cars I've owned. The engine is strong; the transmission too. But check underneath for suspension wear (tie-rods, etc.); have the alternator checked before you buy, and listen for power-steering pump sounds. Like most US cars, the headlamp covers get crazed; they can be polished down once. Unlike a lot of cars, the paint will last without peeling--avoid metallic colors especially silver. Electric windows are twitchy and you can't replace individual components--all or nothing. You can't attach a hitch; live with it. Take out the rear seat for a useful cargo carrier. Go over the car for mis-aligned panels which mean accidents. Change the oil religiously and this car will serve you. In 10 years I've replaced one radiator core, an alternator, a headliner, window motor, and a radio. The instrument panel is ok; it could use a tach, and check the fuel guage so you don't have to use the odometer. Fuel economy depends on care and highway speed. I get 30 mpg at 65 mph, even more downhill.

Have had it 11 months. Had to switch dealership for bad service. Rattles, and bad brakes. Put discs in rear or make front disc larger. Very poor gas mileage. 15 city and 21 hwy. Traded in Ford expedition for better mileage and didn't get much better.

I just returned from a long haul with my van. I traveled the coastal highway into california, I 40/44, to missouri/arkansas and drove to Dayton Ohio and returned to Lakewood, wa on the northern hiways. (I90). I had to get a new battery, replace my abs sensor, buy two new tires and 3 oil changes. It was a pleasure to drive. It was comfortable for me and my service dog. I plan to keep my van and when completely paid for continue the payments into a savings account to upkeep my van. It is definitely a keeper.

We bought a Town and Country Limited 1 year and 7 months ago. I think it is one of the nicest looking minivans around. The front captain chairs, wood and silver trim, stow and go system, and power doors are really nice features. But the power doors and tailgate do not work all the time. Navigation system failed, button lights have gone out, rear seats are uncomfortable, and some materials feel very cheap. Also, the chrome on the outside of the vehicle has started to peel off. The worst thing, I think is the accelerator. When it is pressed down, it will not accelerate the car until several seconds after. Good-looking but very annoying.
