Aiming for 400,000 miles

This van has been awesome. I have 300,000 miles on it and am aiming for 400,000. I have only had to replace the fuel pump and water pump and that was only in the last 100,000 miles. Only on the 2nd battery and of course with those miles a couple of sets of tires. Drives like the day I got it. I can't say enough about how awesome and reliable it has been. For a van I am also happy with the 22mpg I get.
Perfect for a family of 6

My girlfriend and I have a total of 4 children together and needed a vehicle that could safely haul them around especially on long trips. I am an auto mechanic so I took my time researching and checking out several different brands. I found our 06 T & C at a Chrysler dealer with 58K miles. My girlfriend loves the power doors and rear hatch and with multiple DVD players we had installed, it is perfect. The Stow & Go works well for food, cases of soda and loads of DVDs and plenty of room in the rear for 2 strollers and luggage. The only problem we have had was the left sliding door stopped working. I made the repair in about 45 minutes and it has been working ever since.

I'm still in 'pick-up withdrawal.' Bought to replace my pick-up. For the most part, quite OK; like my pkup with a cap. However am reluctant to get inside 'dirty.' Turning radius is excellent and drive is smooth. Had a couple of problems, sorta expected with 7 yr old car and 96K, but local dealership is very good and restored to top running condition. Am preparing for a 4K trip out West with two other couples. Luggage travel box on top rails, etc. Will decide if it is as good as I think.
North of 350,000 miles and lives on

This is an American classic. OK it's not a Viper but the longevity, reliability and function is amazing. Purchased at 32,000 miles and now it had 350,000 miles and everything worked when we sold it to a gambler 500 racer. Countless +2500 mile trips and no issues! The 3.8L is awesome. We've gone through four set of tires, a new radiator (did it myself) a cooling fan, and 6 sets of brakes plus a set of belts. The car drives like the day we bought it. AC is IC cold, stow and go is great. One of the automatic side doors stopped working but no big deal. Most comfortable best riding vehicle I've ever used to own

I bought one of these after we rented one to make our annual drive from Ohio to North Carolina. I fell in love with the Town & Country on that trip-- nimble handling, incredible comfort, easy to drive, tons of room, easy stow- away back seats. The one I bought is just as great. I love this car! Have had zero problems with it, and I've owned it for 4 years. I would never buy any other van but a Stow & Go Town & Country. The new 2010 model is supposed to have less engine power than my 2006, so I'm not trading in. If you're in the market for a Town & Country, I'd highly recommend a fully- equipped 2006 Limited with Stow & Go seating. Best road trip and everyday car EVER.

The base T&C is well equipped. Best vehicle for the price 16.8k (tax, lic) out the door. Similar priced Honda or Toyota, would cost up to 10K more. Saved the money and purchased an extended warranty. My wife and I love the comfort, ride, and overall feel of the vehicle. The remote entry, tinted glass, smart airbag in the front seat, grocery hooks, hidden pullout drawer, lumbar support, car mats, sliding door warning, are all pluses for the base model. Many of these things are optional on other brands and would have cost me another 1K. My first Chrysler, (had 3 Hondas prior) and so far I am very impressed. If you dont mind negotiating, you can really come out a winner!

This is my third Chrysler Product. I had a 94 Grand Caravan. Great engine but poor transmission that required rebuild at 90k miles but the car lasted as a whole until 180k miles with routine maintenance and was still drivable when I donated it to charity. I then had a 2001, where they added a transmission cooler and fixed the transmission issues. The 3.3 Liter (and it's cousin the 3.8) are now powerful engines especially if moving a nearly 5,000 lb car, but it's not meant to be fast. Good torque and the O.H.V engine design keep things simple, and costs down for repairs. This simpler engine has been around for a very long time, and it's fairly easy to service. But at 180 HP for such a heavy car, it' s very slow. I now bought my Mom a 2006 Town and Country, the upscale version of the Dodge Grand Caravan. I feel that in the used car marketplace, the Town and Country is priced nearly identical to the Dodge Grand Caravan but in initial purchase, they are 10k to 15k more in price for not much more in features. I think that if you are buying it without power sliding doors (less that can break) and without a lot of fancy electronics there is less that can break. The best feature of this car is the stow-and-go. You can convert it to a errand car for trips to Home Depot very easily. Another thing not often mentioned is that if you have large dogs, like German Shepherd, or Mastiff, this car's ability to put the rear 60/40 bench seat down and put a dog carrier in the back, is a great way to carry large pets, especially with a lower step in height. Did you ever try to help a 12 year old arthritic dog into a cross over or SUV and help lift such a heavy dog into the tall load floor? For me, my Minivan is my go to car for long trips, or for trips to get paint, or sheetrock. The cost of not renting a truck is very handy. I think it's a fantastic practical car. It's not particularly fast, but it's a well known design and it's been around forever. I had to replace the water pump at 60k miles. I strongly recommend any new owner change the transmission fluid at 60k miles and again at 120k. You need ATF+4 and make sure Chrysler does it, not some cheapo oil change, as this car is very sensitive to having the correct transmission fluid. Stay on top of your fluid changes for the tranny with these cars. I have over 100k miles and I mostly had little annoying problems, like door switches and window regulators, but not major break downs. Basic upkeep of new tires, brakes, frequent oil changes. I recommend changing the PCV and EGR valve at the 75,000 mile tuneup, as these parts are not expensive, and can keep car running smoother longer. Overall, it's one of the lowest cost-of-entry in the used car marketplace and cheaper than a Honda or Toyota Sienna while offering all the same value. I like this older body style compared to squared off new version. I also like the fact that they kept the same engine and transmission around for a long time, unlike Kia that went for a well known 3.8 DOHC engine to a 3.4 Liter with variable valve timing in only 10 years. To me, keeping the same basic engine and transmission around for 3 decades helps keep costs down both during purchase and repair time. Overall, not a fancy car, but a very practical car. I recommend.

I have owned this car over 10 years, it hasn't given me any problems. The ride is so comfortable and when people get in and see the luxury it has they can't believe it. this has been the most reliable and cheapest car for upkeep I have owned. I have 150000 miles on it and it is still going strong. I have always kept it up if I have a small problem or any problem I take it right away and get it fixed. the oil has been changed every 3000 miles and the tires rotated every second oil change. I love this car but I wanted to get at least one more new one as I am 73 years old. I debated for two months and finally decided to get the new one. I am selling this one myself and hope that whoever buys it will take good care of nellie and enjoy her as much as I have. the gas mileage averages 22 miles a gallon, it has a 6 cylinder engine. In looking at several brands of cars I have had very little luck finding a car like I want with even that good of mileage, brand new. I use syntheic oil as the works are older and that makes everything tight again. It is a Chrysler town and country touring van and I got all the luxury items on it when I bought it. great car.

VERY roomy, even without the "fold into the floor" seats. I'm handicapped and getting in & out of my previous vehicle (2001 PT Cruiser) was a real chore.. excellent response to the gas pedal, easy to park and maneuver in tight places (this minivan has a tighter turning radius than the PT did!). excellent radio/CD/tape unit and great sound from the speakers..windshield wipers were hard to operate at first (stalk-mounted controls always gave me fits!)..in all, even though it was the bottom of the "luxury" class, it had all the appointments I needed..my advice-if you need a vehicle that's roomy, nimble and easy to operate--buy this one..!!

I bought my T&C when it was just turning nine years of age. It had 64,000 miles on it and it had been used by a suburban soccer mom type from northern NJ. It had a few issues but basically it seemed like a solid vehicle that ran good. I had to have the rear brakes, air conditioner and water pump repaired, plus a few minor repairs that I did myself, and since then it has been as reliable as any vehicle I have ever owned. It's now 15 years old and has 79,000 miles on it. Obviously I don't drive as much as I did in my youth but that means I don't worry as much about gas mileage which hovers around 16 mpg, 23 on long trips. It burned a little oil until I switched to Mobil 1 and now it seems to have stopped burning oil. It has continued to be absolutely reliable. When something needs attention it doesn't leave me stranded.

Can't get the airbag light off

Purchase this vehicle new and have had it serviced for the airbag light coming on many times. The light comes back on before I make it home! The dealer never told me that while the light is on the airbags will not deploy if you get into an accident. 4 years down the road and a new dealer before I was told about the danger, parts have been on order this time since April 2010. Calling Chrysler consumer hot line doesn't seem to help. They say they'll check on things and call you back but they don't. I'm getting frustrated. How long do I have to wait for a part? In the meantime I'm driving a unsafe car.

less power than the 4.0L, but smoother delivery than the new 3.6L-i still like th 4.0L best. this vehicle does serve its purpose - the rear dvd is essential with a car full of kids on a long trip. the gas mileage isn't horrible -I average 19.5. I do like the (faux) wood trim, and the soft leather accents on the seats is a nice. tranny is smooth, shifts well. I do like the styling of this version from the front better than the newer models. the bads - all of the power door motors are LOUD, they work fine....the nav system is horrible - no touch screen, rotor dial for all intput. no rear button for tailgate. much less cupholder/usable storage space-in the end-the '08and up solved all this

This is my second Town and Country minivan that I've owned. Excellent vehicle that is priced right, handles well, very versatile and reliable. I've owned imports such as Honda and Toyota and I think they are way over rated. I had nothing but problems with those vehicles. Keep up the good work Daimler-Chrysler.

My wife and I just came home from a 3 week, 4500 mile trip. Left Denver, drove to Glacier Natl. Park down to the Grand Tetons, back and forth to Yellowstone, with luggage on top, 2 adults 2 big dogs, and 2 bikes on the back we got 21.3 mpg (pretty good) and not one hint of a problem. This is a comfortable, well appointed vehicle and I was particularly impressed with the performance of the 3.8 engine. I cannot find any fault with the van. A/C was going full blast, for the dogs, all the time we were on the road.

We bought the van new and have had very little problems, it has been very dependable, and comfortable vehicle. I am slightly disappointed in the mileage 21 hwy, this is with correct air pressure in the tires, and new air filter. Coming from an suv I was just hoping for better. At the time of this review it is 6 years old with 78k miles, and the only problems have been a window regulator, and egr valve. I would not hesitate to recommend this vehicle to a friend. Wish I had got the stow and go seating. Gave it an avg fun to drive, it is a mini van, and value on all new vehicles is a joke.

Search the Internet for town and country power steering and you will see that you WILL be replacing the rack and pinion, as well as pump. The next time you hear a whine when turning the shell, get your wallet out. There should be a recall on these there are so many complaints.

Needed family vehicle following job transfer to US. Previously would not have considered Chrysler. Tested numerous 2nd hand Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler T&C. Liked the T&C best, looks, comfort, fully loaded, and price. Like it more and more each ride. Been long distance, camping, around town, and always happy. Bought at 20K miles, now just under 50K miles. Brakes will need doing soon DIY). Water pump went on trip to Canada, and had to resort to dealership. Few minor issues with right sliding door.

I have owned 2 t&c's and I love driving the one I have as I did the one I had. the biggest problems: 1. power steering filter needs to be cleaned constantly or the whining sound is horrible. 2. The electronic they do go - motherboards, radio, lights inside, and 3. the paint jobs do not last. my van now looks a lot older than it is, the rust is horrible on the edges. the tinted windows have a ripple effect that is just horrible. the back seats no leg room for people and if all the back seats are in there is very little storage room in the back. I love driving it, long distance the gas usage is wonderful but in the city 15mpg is about the best I get.

I really like this 2006 T&C. It is easy to get the kids in and out of. There are only two things I would change. The power doors are noisy and there is no Illuminating light on the slides for the temperature control. Makes it very hard to see at night. As for the doors I do like that you have the option to use them with out the power. My thinking is if the power part fails at least you can still open them. I love the stow and go, with 3 kids we always have more stuff than we know what to do with. Overall this was a good choice for the price. I guess time will tell if it has any issues like its predecessor.

Plenty of power with the 3.8 liter engine. Other Toyota/Nissan/Honda minivans I have ridden in lack this amount of power, especially up hills and when fully loaded with passengers. The van drives like a car. Very quiet inside when driving. The stereo is surprisingly good for a stock unit. The Stowe & Go feature with all rear seats is a fantastic feature. No more hassling with removing entire seats to make more room. Automatic sliding doors and rear hatch are also nice features. Plenty of leg room for adults on every seat in the vehicle.
We love it!

We love our new Town And Country! We are so overjoyed with this van I can't even put it in words. We has a 2003 Honda Odyssey that was a pile of junk, to say the least. Everytime we turned around it was having another reliability problem. The transmission started to slip at 15000 miles. That should of gave us a warning. No problems with our Chrysler. No trips back to the dealer for anything. Couldn't say that about the Honda. Test drove the Toyota Sienna. Didn't like its weird styling. We made the right choice.

I love my new Town and Country. It has navigation and DVD. Two options that I had constant problems with my Honda Odyessy. The ride is much smoother than my Hondas was, and a lot quieter also. We are trading in our Accord this month also. The new Sebring puts Honda styling to shame. No more problems for me. AND NO MORE HONDAS!

This is our first Minivan and it won't be our last, My family and I bought a used 2006 T&C and so far it is the nicest most comfortable "car" we have ever owned, we thought about the Honda and Toyota but the perks of this van won out and we went with chrysler and we are so ever glad we did. The Dvd sound system is amazing and the power doors are so helpful when you have your hands full of baby items, even the stow and go compartment makes a nice little "toy box" to keep the car neat and clean but the kids have plenty to do on those long road trips we love to take every year. My husband loves the look of the Town and Country it was easy to see why this was a smart purchase for our family.

This is one of the most comfortable vehicles I've ever ridden in. The bucket seats in the front and middle row are wonderful...closest thing to sitting in my living room as I've ever gotten. Vehicle is responsive and handles well for a SUV/VAN. Good visibility. Lots of electrical outlets and cup holders. Love the backing-up warning system.

This is my fourth Chrysler minivan, I had a '98, '01,and an '02 that I traded for this 2006. Before buying another minivan, I looked at several other types of vehicles from SUVs to full and midsize trucks to sedans. My wife has a 2004 Acura MDX that we thought we would use as our family vehicle and get me a cool car for a change. But, after driving several different things, I decided the minivan is just the best configuration for families. No other vehicle gives the combination of smooth ride, amenities, utility and safety. Truthfully, I was set on either the Odyssey or Sienna because of magazine reviews, but after test driving all, I honestly believe the Chrysler was the best choice.

This van handles great, very quiet ride. Love the stow n' go...it's so conveinant and the seats are very easy to fold, just 3 simple steps. The interior is beautiful, driver and passenger seats are quite comfortable. Before purchasing the T&C, I was considering the Odyssey and Sienna. I wanted to purchase a van that was completley loaded and after test driving them all and comparing prices the T&C was hands down the best.

This is the first Mini Van I ever bought, and it won't be the last. I looked at several others Mini vans before buying the town and country, even though they look somewhat alike, I like the fold and go on the seating, this was a big selling point for me.

I am very happy with my Town and Country. Handles great.Comfortable seating. Power when needed.Front brakes had to be done at 30k.I did purchase the extended warranty but so far so good. I had the middle row seat taken out as I bring my Labrador's to the lake or trips with us.

I had a 99 T&C and it had the BEST most comfy seats. This one is awful for short people - the seats are set too high and are not as soft as the 99. My short legs barely reach the floor! Pretty uncomfortable. It's also a pig - poor acceleration!!

We purchased the 2006 Touring model as a used car - and love it. Our previous minivan (an earlier model Honda Odyssey) pales in comparison. It rides quietly & the engine performs well - especially noticeable on inclines. The seats are comfortable and there is plenty of leg room even in the third row. The Stow-n-Go system is a great feature, too. The storage behind the third bench is twice the size of our previous minivan. Also, the power doors & lift gate are an added bonus. We really upgraded when we went to this model!

My van replaced the 4X4 Tahoe which got 13 mpg! It has finally broke in and the performance has perked up! Getting 21 mpg combo driving and got 25/26 (with wind pushing the side!) on the highway! It is by far the most comfortable van of them all. I hate minivans but out of all of them I looked at and drove, this one came home! Very pleased!!

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.

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?
both cv joints fell out at 39000 miles

The van did not get the fuel mileage it is advertsised to get, not even close, the road noise is so bad it makes the ride unbearable, the right cv joint fell off with no warning that it was even going bad, the left cv joint reported by dealer to be bad but it is not leaking grease and the boot is still intact- the ball bearings have flat spots on them

I sacificed my GM Card credits and converted to the T&C Limited. The T&C is heads and shoulders over the GM minivans. The drive is smooth and quiet. The stow and go feature is great. Van is packed with interior features.

My new Town & Country Touring Stow 'n- Go is the best minivan I have ever owned. It has lots of extra features that now come standard on this vehicle. It rides well with very little road noise. It is particulary well suited for my activities, including Golden Retriever Rescue. It holds two travel dog crates when the third row seating is stowed away. There is also plenty of room for all of the items I have to carry for the dogs. One of the reasons I chose this vehicle is for the rear A/C for the dogs.

This is our first minvan after a few SUVs. We should have considered these sooner. Great seating, quiet ride, decent mpg and great features

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...
Made the right choice

After a lot of research the town and country signature series touring was our choice. The ride is comfortable and smooth. The stow and Go is the best. The turning radius is very tight.Leather heated power front seats are very comfortable. Navigation takes time to get use to but I am sure it will be a great asset.

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.

this is the first chrysler that we have owned in thirty years and the first minivan. We have a 3 year old and a 11 month old and the ease of putting them in their car seats makes it worth every penny.

A new son prompted the replacement of my truck with a vehicle that could haul the whole family. We have Buick Century which I absolutely LOVE. So far, I am very impressed with the T&C. So far, it is everything it was advertised to be. Comfortable, reliable and roomy with lots of neat little features. My year old son likes the DVD player and even my reluctant wife is warming up to it. Not a bad vehicle for under $20,000.
Do not buy!!!!!

Bought car brand new back in 2006. Problems slowly started coming up around 2009. Now the van is an absolute junk. It burns oil. The head gasket might be blown because it is leaking anti freeze what it appears to be from the heads. The gas tank has a hairline crack that wont pass emissions. The headlights turn off by themselves while driving at night every once in a while. A very common problem with the headlight switch in this car. The driver window wont go down anymore. And the rear passenger door locks wont work either. Need to lock and unlock manually. Started with the right sliding door. Now the left sliding door wont work. Absolute garbage. Stay away. Buyer beware!!
