We had a great experience with our T&C......with everything except the body. The makers of the Town & Country have areas on side panels that were not treated properly. You can look at any T&C on the road that was made around 2005 and they ALL have rust in the SAME places. Very Poor design.

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.

Bought this van at 47K, put 20K on it. (had a '98 T&C LXI w/AWD.) The '05 is nice, but AWD was better than traction control. Van has held up fairly well, but a LOT of small items set off the CHECK ENGINE light. All pwr equipment still works. We HAVE had issues: EGR valve, ABS sensors, the famous power steering whine (replaced belt, PS pump, still occurs.) Also replaced tensioner & noisy idler pulley to resolve belt slip in wet conditions, plus the inevitable brake pads/rotors. The 3.8L is powerful, but front wheels can spin easily in the rain. 6-disc DVD system is handy, but sound quality is poor compared to the Infinity system in the LXI. Gets good MPG for a van. Overall a decent car.
A reliable Chrysler--go figure

As of December 1, 2016, I have 11 years and 85K worth of mostly urban stop-and-go miles on this workhorse. In spite of that, the only repairs have been one rear ABS sensor fixed under partial warranty and an EGR valve that tripped the check-engine light at 70k. The ride is pretty hard, but not much more so than my 2008 Sienna. Road noise, acceleration and braking were similar as well, though the Chrysler has slightly better steering. It's much nicer in every respect than the 2008-2015 model Chryslers I've rented, but hoping the new Pacifica is better. By the way, it's just now on its second set of brakes in all those short trips, so I'm not sure what to say about reports of poor brake pad life--could be driving habits or could be theirs had a defect of some sort. Anyway, never heard much good about Chrysler reliability but this one has been great.

I purchased this van with 25K miles on it and at the time I just wanted to see what American automakers had to offer. I now know why the Honda & Toyota minivans are more expensive. In 3 years, I've replaced a rack & Pinion, 3 water pumps, an airbag switch, and a power window switch. Unfortunately, the reliability just is not there. I've owned 2 Honda's and 1 Suzuki and I've never had these kind of problems. First & last time I buy American. I'm trading this junk in for a Honda Odyssey first chance I get. Only positive, the highway gas mileage is excellent. I went from central PA to the North Carolina Outerbanks on 2 tanks of gas.
