Used 2006 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
Needs more accessable storage space
I LOVE THE STOW and GO for Vacation. but for everyday use, we need more storage space for all my kids stuff. my first mini van.
2006 touring bad gas mileage etc
This is my 5th Chrysler van I have 25Kmiles so far. always gotten expected gas mileage with others, this one is horrible 12.5 mpg in city and i do not drive any differently than other van. took it back 5 times, told me must be the fold and go seating, ridiculous.should be at least getting 16 (sticker is 18 and 25.) I might get 20 on the highway if lucky. Sunroof leaks, shorted out upper gauges. can't fix. Also, power steering keeps slipping been fixed 3 times. when it rains I go slow for of losing my power steering. this has almost caused several accidents. Thank God it's leased and have only 12 months left will never buy one again. I feel sorry for the person that gets this hunk of junk.

Not a perfect vehicle
Have had Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth vans for many years. Currently have 51000 on this T&C and have had too many problems with it. Under warranty: driver power window motor, tie rod end (was not lubed at factory), battery, and insturment panel lights. After warranty: battery went out again, power steering pump, and water pump. Why do both of these pumps fail after only 51000 miles? Service writer said they cannot replace 2nd battery even though it was within the 24 month free replacement period because I was over the 36000/3 years and the original battery had been replaced under that warranty. Very unhappy with reliability!
Nice van, for the money
This van 3,3 L engine is peppy and gets out of its own way. I have taken the van on short in state trips and around town driving, we've had very few problems. The few problems we had were minor, like the brake pad won't stay on the pedal and a nagging rattle under the dash. The engine pings on gas under 90 octane. The stongo is awesome the seating is comfortable for seven. I like its exterior style and upscale interior. The engine compartment is not cluttered and I can check the fluids with ease and I can get at the spark plugs!. Ford vans require a big mechanics bill to replace just about anything under the hood and not much under the hood is easily reached either.
Hoped for more
Wanted a newer American mini-van my wife could count on. Got the best us auto maker brand. The kids love the room. Great storage front to back. Stow-n-go is awesomely useful. But lots of little problems started coming up by 2008. Steering sloppy/harsh. Passenger sliding door lock stopped working. A/c stopped working this week (recharging failed, looks like evaporator bad, which means entire dash comes out $800 and it may still not work.) resale value stinks - went from $24k to $7k in 4 1/2 years. Leery of taking long trips now. Looks like I'm headed to Honda and Toyota minivans to pay more. Hope to keep them longer! Still driving 97 Civic w/almost no problems to date. Hmm.
