Used 2006 Chrysler Town and Country Consumer Reviews
Better than Reported
Bought this van new. Its the second one. Had a 2001 LXi. It was much more plush than this Touring model. However, it has been trouble free to date except the front brake discs & pads needed replacement at 30,000. The 2001 brakes lasted 60,000 but they had original ceramic all around. That convinced me of the value of ceramic. Now for the good points. Most of miles are on the highway where believe it or not I drive at 67-70 mph and get from 24.5 to 31 mpg. Believe it. This van with a 3.8 L V6 gets better mileage on the highway than advertised for medium sized sedans. I must add that the 2001 van only had a electric window mechanism go bad and I was "talked" into replacing the water pump.
Our first Chrysler
We bought our van on Oct. 28. On Nov. 1, we left Milford, Ohio for our winter home in Sun City Center, Fl.. The trip in our new van was very enjoyable mainly because it was very comfortable to ride in because of the electric heated and multi position adjustable electric drivers seat. It also had a new feature called Navigation. It mapped out the best route to our home in Florida and gave us verbal and visual directions all the way down. It was a joy to drive this vehicle such a long distance and arrive feeling as if our trip had lasted only about half as long as it had felt on previous trips. Thanks

Air problems
I have had it with Chrysler, I have had window switches, gascap, door locks rack and pinion, and now air conditioner will not work, only 2000 miles out of warranty, Chrysler will pay for parts if you call and complain enough, but takes forever to get parts, 10,000 on order, if they are having that much of a problem I think they should do a recall, but if you are having problems call and call they will send parts for you and all you will have to pay is the labor, which by the way, costs way too much! I hope this helps anyone with same problem
Listen to the reviews!
I wish I did more research when shopping for a van. I was pleased with the price tag and amenities I was able to get with my Town & Country. The initial investment may have been lower, but I have had the van 2 years and have spent WAY too much on servicing it since!! I've had problems with the air conditioning, tires, brakes, air bags, sunroof and other "unknown" squeaks, squeals and plastic parts falling off in the interior. I tried selling the van once the repairs started occurring regularly, but the resale is HORRIBLE! I would have to pay out over $7000 to get rid of the van - so I am stuck with the piece of junk. Do not buy a town & country! I will not make this mistake again!
Y BUY 4N??? Chrysler Van is the BEST!
Looked at and drove all of them, Finished up buying the Chrysler Touring. Very comfortable on the road, and the family loves it. DVD player for my grandson made a trip much shorter. Mid 20's on fuel economy is good, Stow and Go seating is super. Very safe for everyone. 5 Star safety rating gives much peace of mind. Honda and Toy are pretty good, but to get one equipped like my Chry is way too expensive. This is the best car I have ever owned, including several imports. Kudos to Daimler Chrysler!!!
