Mostly Happy
This is only my second new car & I am pleased for the most part. I love the style, inside & out. The van has been pretty reliable but I had to replace brake pads at 36,000 miles (I drive in Atlanta traffic, but don't ride my brakes). At 70,000 miles, the driver side CV Axle broke internally (boot not torn at all); had to tow van home & replace. The passenger side is popping; plan to replace this week before I get left on the side of the road again. Maybe a recall is necessary, since the dealership parts guy admitted that he's sold allot of them? The lifters are noisy, maybe I should try a higher octane gas, as a previous review suggests? Hard to, with gas prices the way they are...
What happened Chrysler?
Trouble from the beginning. Motors on sliding doors have been replaced - twice on passenger side. Brake problems - air conditioning not cooling adequately. Loose piece on steering column - told that it was supposed to be that way. Our 2001 T&C has same piece and no rattling. Trouble with tire, from beginning - they just would not listen to me. Getting ready to take back in, because the sliding doors are not working correctly, yet! Very discouraged. Chrysler, please take this van back. CD player has issues and they want me to remove and send to Chrysler - who are they kidding?

Never Thought I'd Love A Minivan...
We traded a Cadillac SRX in for our T&C and have not been disappointed since. We needed more room and we certainly got it! There are so many features to love about this van, that make it an extremely practical and fun vehicle to own. We have had several small problems with the van since owning it, but we also realize that it was used when we bought it! My complaints: the small motors- such as the windshield wipers and window motors, and the brakes. We have had multiple issues with our brakes from sensors going bad, to pads, etc. I do not "ride" my brakes, and while I do understand that it is a heavy vehicle, I did not expect to be continually having this much brake work done at only 40k mi.
Great van
We traded a 2005 conversion van for this one, great deal. We love the stow n go feature, great ride, handles very well, good power with 6 cyl engine. I carried 6 very BIG people in the van,total weight of 1500 lbs and it ran beautifully for 200 miles to the airport. great hidden storage and carrying capacity. I can get 21 mpg in city with careful acceleration, and avoiding jackrabbit braking and acceleration. I get 27 mpg on highway by driving at 65- 68 mpg using cruise. Compared to our conversion van which got 15 mpg on the highways, I am a very happy mini-van owner.
Buy stock in brakes
Invest in a brake pad company if you plan on buying a Town and Country. My T & C needed brakes every 8000 miles like clock work. Most of these miles were highway miles. The power doors are one problem after another. Some times they wont open and other times they open by themselves. The dealership knows the car is build like this so they milk every service for what its worth. Billing the warantee company for worthless repairs and the costumer.
