I dont know what everyone is talking about. My minivan has been great! Everything works fine except the passenger side auto door wont close the first time we hit the button. Big whoopity do though. We drive this van everywhere and its been 100% reliable and we've had no issues whatsoever. Great van that I love to drive and the kids thoroughly enjoy being in on trips!!!

Ok, so we did just pick this up tonight from the dealership, but I'm in love! We were die-hard import drivers up until now. But seeing how we were hit in a major front end collision last week that totaled our Nissan Quest, we had to find another van quickly with our family of 5 plus pets. So I did my research, asked around when I'd see a T&C driver in a parking lot-and got very positive reviews. We got our Touring edition for the same cost as a stripped down Toyota or Honda!! We've been driving around all night in our new van. The kids LOVE the swivel and go seats & the dual dvd screens! For once they have begged to get in the van! LOL

I used to love taking the family around in the old T&C's. So what the devil happened? The dumb keyless fob that you still need to insert and turn. The moronic positioning of the bloody shifter. It actually feels smaller and cramped inside. The only thing that did not change (which should have) is the darn engine that still screams and barks while limping to speed. So sad. Will be trading this out for a loss ASAP and will be looking for a station wagon or small suv.
Love this vehicle

I have to admit I love this car. I bought it for my wife and kids but I use every excuse to take the car. It rides great. The handling for a van is outstanding. This is my 7th T&C and by far its the best. I have to be honest from the front and side the van looks nice. From the back it looks like a shoe box with tail lights. My kids love the warmers in the back seat. The remote start is great for the cold weather. Being able to load all your cd's into the hard drive is great.

I have had all the same problems everyone else has complained about on here. Brakes replaced every year and now in for the brakes again. The part that makes it even funnier is that I had the transmission replaced about a year ago and it now has a hard shift problem and they are telling me that it is the software. I have to pay for the software updates on the transmission. Why would I need to pay for something that is a problem that I have no control of? Chrysler I thoguht was a high end vehicle manufacturer, I am finding now that is such a POC. The dealership has told me many times before that they couldnt find a problem when I brought it in before hand. DO NOT BUY!!
So far, so good

Purchased our Limited with 18k, now has 26k. We've had a few minor problems with the power sliding doors (one door sometimes does not open in extreme cold, the other needed an adjustment, both were oversensitive in the operation - software fix) and with the radio/nav unit (restarting the ignition fixed it). Otherwise, it's been trouble-free. Very cushy. Front seats could use more shoulder/neck support and adjustable headrests. 3rd row lacks legroom, but then, it's designed for kids. Poor HVAC control design. MPG is around 15 city, and we've gotten as much as 31 highway @65-70 mph. If you're in the market and can afford it, get the Ltd. The 3.3 and 3.8 have no real power; the 4.0 does.

We bought ours in the first week of Jan. 2008. Now having driven the car 14000+ miles I have had nothing but problems. It was reliable for the first 8 mos and then after than I started having multiple electrical problems, dashboard blackout, no volume on radio, door failure, remote failure, no heat in the dead of WI winter and no automatic functions on electrical. Things would spontaneously correct after either stopping and restarting the vehicle or after two or three hours of letting it sit and restarting again. We had the new ignition module put in and problems are now worse. I am currently waiting on a second tow. I used to love this car, but have lost my confidence in its reliability.

Wow! Upgraded from a 1996 Pontiac Transport Se to a 2008 Chrysler Town and country brand new off the lot! Worse mistake I made in my life! At 300 miles transmission was slipping bad. Warranty replaced after about 18 times to shop! Brakes and Rotors have been replaced, gear shift has fallen off, lights go off when they want to. Doors lock 15 mins after take off and then today I find out I need to struts and shocks. Please save your money you will regret buying this vehicle. Never heard of a new car needing so much attention. My 96 has only needed minor maintenance! Oh and let me not forget that the a/c doesn't cool properly and always some type of recall! People run like hell!
Great Entertainment Package.

We have had 4 Chrysler/ Dodge mini vans (Ford, GMC also). The overall comfort and driving on the Town and Country was very good. The DVD/ TV/ Sirius etc is great but the van is not dependable, poor finish and too many noises that aren't supposed to be there. I am glad we bought the extended warranty! So far in two years we have replaced the gas tank (technician talk, sometimes things just break, can't really say why!), front rear brakes and front rotors, front bearings, replaced compartments to store headphones,adjusted sliding doors, radio/hard-drive, MP3 (that wasn't too bad, got an extra 6 mos subscription to Sirius!). Not worth the $38,000 we spent, will never buy new Chrysler again.
Warning! Loads of problems.

Had brake work done early - like the others. Have had this work done under warranty so far: replaced radiator cap with faulty seal when overheating, refill freon & replace faulty hose when a/c quit, transmission software upgrades (3x's) because it clunks in/out of gear. Now has been in the service shop over 2 weeks for "Major engine problem" and failing wheel bearings. Also have had some minor electrical problems. Problems with door sliding (or not) open/close, that I forgot I need to tell the service guy until I read these reviews. Sure wish I'd read these 2 years ago, I'd be in a different vehicle.
Will never buy Chrysler again!

I wrote a review earlier on this purchase, 4 months after I purchased it. I feel the need to write another. Total problems=4 times to dealership for door alignment, they sprung my door in the process, motor on fan blown, front brakes replaced at 36,000 miles, transmission slips a lot, now front and rear brakes need to be replaced at 56,000 miles, front wheel bearings are shot and cant get any replacements, as of yesterday there are 4000 on back order through Chrysler and there are no after-market parts for this. It is a safety issue and Chrysler doesn't care. When my tires fall off going down the highway, Chrysler will care about the lawsuit they will have to deal with!

I am a single mom with three boys and purchased a brand new 2008 Chrysler Limited in October 2008. This was the most expensive vehicle I ever purchased. This was also my third Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth van since 1999. In November 2009 I drove the van to Florida for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day the rear brakes seized and the following day a local dealer informed me I had to replace the brakes, rotors, pads and a caliper. This was $620.00 out of pocket. I love my van and the boys enjoy the DVD player. The van is very comfortable and I find there is plenty of leg room, even in the 3rd row. I have replaced the front brakes and now I am having issues with the A/C. Chrysler own up!

My 2008 T&C (only 20k miles!) has had numerous transmission problems (wont shift out of first gear, loud clunking noises, etc.). The latest issue is a loss of acceleration at highway speeds. The check engine light will come on and the car rapidly loses speed. Chrysler cant fix the problem because they cant reproduce it during test drives, even though the vehicles monitoring system returns several error codes. The dealer and manufacturer dont want to throw parts at the problem and are unable to do anything else to fix it. Efforts to resolve this issue through Chrysler's Impartial Service Group have been ineffective.
Do not buy this van!

Problems, problems and more problems. Read the reviews. We had all the same expensive problems plus more. First month satellite radio and ves system needed replaced. The computer needed reset doors weren't working properly. Brakes, rotors, needed replaced, air conditioning broke needed fixed. Not to mention the hours of driving back and forth 40 min to dealer to have things checked and then fixed. All the rental car fees I had to pay and the pure inconvenience. I don't think I have spoken to anyone who has not had the same problems. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this van.

Purchased used with 18000 miles on odometer. I currently have 30,000 miles and have not experienced and problems. Very satisfied with my minivan. My eight year old and her friends love all of the kid friendly features, especially the satellite TV. Great vehicle for our lone drive auto vacation to Myrtle Beach, and perfect for my long weekend golf trips with three buddies. Love the navigation that give much more information than how to get from point A to B. Really comes in handy when on golf trips in unfamiliar locations and trying to find restaurants, movies, etc. So far so good. Thing negative to report.The best appointed mini van I have seen. Surprised by the many negative reviews.

Two sets of front disc and rotors in 26,000 mostly highway miles (6 cross- usa trips)! Dealership acknowledges problems with brakes but states normal wear & tear? Check engine light has been on for 1000's of miles and they can't figure it out? Great van otherwise!

I really, really fought with myself over the purchase of this vehicle. Even before we purchased it, the MV was getting terrible reviews. But there was the issue of the warranty. The incredible lifetime warranty that no one else offered. I gotta say, they reeled me in - hook, line, sinker. You know that 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty thing? Somehow or another the wheels and brakes must sit outside of the bumpers, cause my brakes went bad with only 27,000 miles on them. 20,000 of those miles were all highway. Repair to replace? $479 at Midas on a 17 month old car. Think about that.
Great van after 18 months of ownership!

I have read the reviews and I must say, I'm very surprised at the number of people complaining or having issues. Our van has been "perfect" to date. Not a single issue! Runs great, no rattles, tires look good, brakes are just dandy. I change the O&F every 3k and rotate tires every 6k. This van is meant to be driven AS A VAN. No chronic brake pedaling - no hard cornering/braking - and no rapid acceleration. I've seen how most people drive. If I were their car/van - I'd want to cough, hiccup & breakdown in hopes they'd trade me in so that I could possibly acquire a new owner who will drive me as I require & regularly maintain to my needs.

I have had this vehicle for a little over 21 months. All I can say is thank goodness for the warranty. I have had the following problems: Feb-Oct 2008-system computer was out of whack...electrical system in general to malfunction sporatically. I was sent a disc in October that fixed this problem. March 2009-Air conditioning quit cooling. Fixed under warranty July 2009-New brakes and rotors at my expense September 2009-New tires necessary due to excessive wear September 2009-Wheel Bearings needed to be replaced on front of van. November 2009-Oil light came on. Crank sshaft and other problems. Needed a new engine.

Whats an amazing change from the old shape to this new shape, everything is different. I like the little touches that really make this car feel like a high end European car vs the cheap plastic trip we have gotten used to in our domestic minivans. The first major improvement is the room for the driver and 2nd row passengers. I am 6'3" (long torso) and i have zero problems driving this car or sitting in the 2nd row (swivel n go). We did test drive the stow n go 2nd row and the seat backs were just too low down for me, the top of headrest was below my shoulders so we had to go for the swivel n go anyway which are bucket heater leather seats just like the front (we have the 25L package).

Now 65K. By and large we like this vehicle due to its design, great versatility, its strong performance, and many nice features. I was disgusted to have to change brakes and rotors at 17K then pads again 6 months later. Scary when the computer went AWOL 4 times Suddenly the lights were flashing, the horn was honking and the windshield wash squirting then the doors opened and closed, then locked us out. I am worried for the future because the transmission clunks when it shifts into 2nd under no load or if you try to accelerate just as you come to a stop. I will likely not buy another Chrysler because the company and its dealers just don't stand behind their products, they make excuses

We traded in our 04 TC because we were having so many "unexpected" problems. Dealership even admitted that it must have been a "Friday" build. Now i wish we had kept the old one. We are under 30,000 miles, front and back brakes and rotors replaced, not at dealer, don't trust them, water pump replaced, radiator cap replaced. Now we are back in the shop because the electronic locks wont work, and there is a spot on the passenger side floor that is always wet. Plus the side doors are awful, always opening after you think they have been closed. Dealer admits that it was a bad design. So frustrated that i can't count on this vehicle. I have 4 little kids and thought i was paying for something reliable!

I am sorry I ever bought this minivan. It was advertised by Chrysler to have power mirrors included as standard equipment, and it came without them. Chrysler will not install the mirrors at no cost to us, although it was advertised by Chrysler LLC.When I contacted Chrysler, (3 times) about no power mirrors, they told me it is the dealerships problem, however, the dealership and I agree, and we know it is Chrysler that is at fault. Chrysler will do nothing to remedy this problem, and I filed a BBB on the Chrysler LLC CO. and Chrysler would not even respond to this complaint. The body has an annoying rattle, and when you slow down to make a stop, it is audible. Also fluttering sound occurs.

Traded a 2002 Mercury Villager, and can only hope the Chrysler is as good a vehicle as the Villager proved to be. Kids love all the video and multimedia bells and whistles. Although the heated 2nd row seats were much anticipated, it appears the built-in boosters eliminate that feature with absolutely no disclosure by the window sticker, nor anywhere I can find in the manual. Deplore the lack of automatic climate control in trim levels below Limited. Air conditioning is extremely anemic compared to the Villager. Extremely well-equipped and I have yet to discover every little bell and whistle. Already wish I'd spent the extra $$ for the Limited, although I did get an amazing deal on it.

First noticed the A/C doesn't work, then the headlights turned off at night while driving, and now we are loosing power to the engine while driving. We quickly have to hit the hazards and restart the car and hope no one hits us from behind. Our only savior has been the radar detector, which beeps out of control right before the car is about to stall out. Not safe or reliable, so were stuck paying for a Lemon that we cant even drive. Also have had issues with the "Automatic" door not closing & U-Connect was replaced. What lousy craftsmanship, it just goes to show American companies dont care about the American public or their safety. We will never buy American made again-lesson learned.

We have had several problems with the navigation and automatic sliding doors. After several trips to the dealership to fix these issues they replaced the radio and recalibrated both doors. We love the car since these issues have been corrected. The bigger engine is KILLING us in gas. We have the Limited 2008 Durango and a 2007 Corvette. Who ever thought we would see the day where the Vette is by far the best gas mileage. We have spending close to $1,000.00 per month on gas. Thank you BUSH!

We bought our van brand new. It was one of the few models of cars that would accommodate the wheelchair lift my husband needed. We are now at 37,000 and are needing brake work for the fourth time. We have had to replace the rotors twice under warranty, then once just a few months ago. I was driving the other day and the entire brake panel lit up. I have to take the darn thing back up again, and I shudder to think how much it will cost this time. I am angry that a car we depend on for my disabled husband has had so many brake problems.

Bought one. The day after buying my van, my wife and self made a 350 miles trip. We had a tire flat that could not be repaired. Being on Sunday all dealerships were closed. We found a retail store that sold the replacement tire, but was told that no tires were available(17" wheel) from the factory. All available tires were used for the 2008 vans. We had to get a hotel room, to wait for a dealership to open(missing a day from work). The dealership was unable to get a new tire, but they found an old tire off a used vehicle. we were finally able to get home. While returning from a second trip the multifunction switch controlling the wipers and high beams went out(the wipers could not be turn off)

I am a real shopper and the T&C Touring was by far the best choice between the Sienna and the Odessy. The T&C had the best layout and seating plus the stow and go is great. I have had zero problems with this van and I have had it for a year now. The traction control works very well in snow. I recommend this vehicle.

We purchased this van so we would have a reliable and safe vehicle to drive back and forth to Chicago from South Carolina. Our first trip out, this lovely $40k vehicle lost all power and left us stranded in the Great Smokey Mtns. After being towed to the nearest dealer (70 miles away) we were informed that our engine was BLOWN. Yup - we made it exactly 2000 miles on one engine. Wow - is this a record? Needless to say, we are trying to get Chrysler to buy it back and perhaps get a Honda Odyssey? Maybe our van was just a fluke? Either way, being stranded with a 19 month old for 3 hours on the side of the road is not a good endorsement. Shame on you Chrysler.

I have owned Dodge Caravans before and had good success with them over the years. Recently, we purchased a 2008 Town and Country Touring with the MyGig, SATTV, dual DVD screens and much more. This is a great family vehicle and very comfortable. It truly is like sitting in your living room!! This car is significantly quieter than prior models. Road noise is still there, but not bad. The 3.8 liter is not going to win any races, but it has adequate power for Mom as well as for highway driving. Dash is very plush and controls are easy to use. Headrests are dramatically improved over prior vans. Altogether, I recommend this van.

We just purchased a 2008 Black Limited w/ navigation and sunroof. Did not opt for DVD since no kids and 3 dogs. Overall first impressions are great. Smooth ride, comfortable, very quiet. Fit and finish looks great. Navigation is easy to use as is the bluetooth function. Voice recognition is a little difficult to setup. Previously owned a Toyota Sienna which had several recalls, not as comfortable, and overall did not impress. Traded a 2007 Hyundai Entourage for Chrysler. The Hyundai was a good van but lacked several features and depreciation faster than you could imagine. Put this van at the top of your list!

I've only had the vehicle a few weeks, but the interior layout is very good. The layout is better than our 2001 Odyssey. The smaller engine definitely lacks power. The automatic transmission tries to compensate, which causes the gas mileage to be a little lower than I would like. But the you can shift gears yourself to compensate. The DVD player is nice. As are the wireless headphones. The rear parking camera is great. The stow and go gives a ton of interior space for storage. The second glovebox is also nice. After the transmission failure on our last van, the lifetime warranty on the Chrysler put us in this van over the entry level Toyota Sienna.

Great family vehicle. Kids love the Sirius TV, swivel seats. Dad loves the nav system, heated seats, ergonomics. Wife loves the kids & dad being happy. Tested Honda and looked at Toyota. It was no-brainer plus you have a lifetime warranty on powertrain.

The Odyssey is awesome and absolutely a better drive at any trim level then the T&C. However, if you closely compare the standard feature set on the Honda and compare it to the T&C it becomes clear that if you care more about value and less about handling and performance (it's a minivan!) then the T&C wins. I bought a Touring T&C with the M package for 29,000 dollars. A similar Honda costs almost 4000 more at invoice. Personally I don't think the Honda's moon roof and engine superiority warrant a 4 thousand dollar difference. Figure in Chrysler's life time drivetrain warranty along with it's feature set and you have a great value. BTW - I think the Limited kills the T&Cs value over Honda.

The T & C gas mileage is really bad. The road noise is very loud, and my wife keeps asking if there is a hole in the muffler. The seats are very uncomfortable.

I really enjoy this van. The stow and go is great. The equipment and pricing were outstanding also. The fold away 2nd row seats will also come in handy the few times I need to haul things. The driving performance is good. I opted for the 3.3L engine, so I knew that it wasn't going to be a world beater.
Touring fully loaded!

Ours is fully loaded (leather,2 dvd's,hard drive,mp3,outlets,nav, sattelite,auto seats in rear,digital dual temp zones, wood grain,2 rows of heated seats,etc.). We LOVE it! We have only had a few minor things with door sensors which they fixed asap! Very comfortable and after test driving over 15 different types of vehicles, we really appreciate how smooth our van drives! The seats fold down and make it very versatile and the leather seats make it so much more comfortable than the cloth. Not all T&C are equal, but test drive it and if you are lucky enough to find one as great you'll love driving it all the time! We like the gear shift up by the steering wheel too!

Swivel n go is the best for carpool. The kids pop in and out with so much ease. The toughest part is deciding who gets to sit backward. It rides smooth. The entertainment options are super for a long car ride. The LED lights make it so easy to drive at night and let kids still do homework, read books etc. I really like the new exterior, less of an attempt at sporty --it's a minivan. The MyGig is impressive, but can take too much attention while driving. Love the Bluetooth built in. Second row cupholders are only bottle on the door less than ideal.
Nice van

This van has been great for my wife and I, and also for our two girls. I chose this van over it's competitor (the Honda Odyssey) because of all the extra bells and whistles that it came with at a reasonable price. We still have not used all the options- ( like the hard drive and stuff) but as for now everything seems to work great and its a nice smooth ride. It is also easy to get in and out for both us and our kids. The stow and go makes it so we can hall bigger thing we buy with out needing to take the truck all the time. We have enjoyed this van. It gives us a lot of information that we find useful as we are on our trips.(Tire psi, gas mileage, in and out Temp, GPS,and much more. :)
Don't buy

So far this van has been in the shop 5 times. Drivers side slid door will not stop when gas tank is open and no one can fix this! Shifts very hard and makes loud noise. AC quit at 14500 miles. Grill paint came off. Side doors will not always stay shut. My gig shuts off and back dvd turns off and on. This is the first and last Chrysler I will ever own!
Got to have one

We purchase this 08 Town&Country Limited after test driving the 08 Sienna XLE Limited and 08 Oddyssey Touring. This T&C is by far the best we've seen. We didn't like Oddysey's "Tin can" feel, road noise at highway speeds and the really dated dashboard. The Sienna was a good competitor but lacked swivel & go and SAT TV plus small cargo space and no gadgets. Instruments too looks dated. The T&C has a European feel to it. Turns out it is also the same as the VW Routan. The plush ride, beautiful interior, dual screen + satellite TV makes this van better than our Lincoln Navigator! Chrysler products was never in our radar screen before. This Minivan just blew us away.

Since day 1 terrible wind noise, transmission does not shift right, van rattles, terrible gas mileage, and have had trouble with the power trunk. Chrysler has done nothing to help. Will not return phone calls or letters. Finally after threating lawsuit or arbitration Chrysler finally agreed to work on the van under warranty. Van has 5500 miles on it. Van is 3 months old. Last Chrysler for me. Owned a 02-05-and 08 models all were new. Buy the Honda or Toyota or you will be sorry.

We traded a 03 Expedition/Eddie Bauer. The wife and I tested the Odessy, Sienna, and Ford Flex. We have 4 kids ages 20, 16, 13, and 7 and a small dog. Going into this purchase we put a premium on comfort and utility. This purchase was mainly for road trips from Georgia to TX, AZ, and MD. The Honda drove the best and had high comfort but the driver seat was uncomfortable. The Toyota was impressive but expensive and the Flex to small. We rated this van behind the Honda until pricing and entertainment. Chrysler T&C Touring was far better. We paid about 23,700 not including T&T. We put the van on the road to TX a day after buying and were impressed! We also got a lifetime power train warranty.
