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.

I have never been a fan of minivans, but with kids it has become a necessity. We didn't want a SUV because of gas mileage and this seemed like a nice alternative. We decided on the Touring Signature Series. We have had it about 3 months now and my wife loves it. It is very comfortable and still amazes me the amount of features this van has for the price. The seats are comfortable and riding in back is great. The drop down dvd players with cartoon channels makes it easy for kids to watch different things. Gas mileage is very reasonable for a vehicle this size, we are averaging about 20-21 mpg mixed use driving.
Great vehicle!

On a trip of about 160 miles of mostly highway driving at 65 mph, the computer reported 24.4 mpg with the 4.0 engine. The ride is quiet, seats are comfortable,and acceleration is impressive for the vehicle's size. Resetting the mpg meter to see what the vehicle will get around town, it appears to be between 17-18mpg. Now I only have about 1500 miles on the van, so I don't have a lot of data. The amount of electronic/electronic stuff is scary but if the vehicle is as reliable as my other 2 Chrysler vehicles ('01 300M & 96 Caravan) I'll be very happy. I'm not a dedicated Chrysler fan but I've picked them for their price/features/ and looks. But I still like the rounded looks of the 96 better.
We love it!

Our T&C is the limited, which has the 253hp 4.0 L V6. We're REALLY glad we paid up for that! The ride is outstanding, acceleration is excellent, especially for a family hauler like this. We opted for the "swivel and go" seats, and our kid loves it, especially on long drives. even quick trips to the store are silent and peaceful with the satellite TV in the back. Seems like a really solidly built car.
Best Chrysler mini-van yet

My wife and I have had mini-vans for 16 years. We've bought GM & Chrysler and this Town and Country Touring is the best one yet. Great features for the price and good, rugged looks. 6 speed transmission is a big plus. Much better gas-mileage than our 2001 LX with the 3.3 liter. Averaging anywhere from 24-27.9 MPG on the /HYWY. Computer's estimated mpg is off, however - anywhere from 0.7-4 mpg, reliable so far. Power doors are improved over previous models. I am 6'5" and there is plenty of room for me. Love the stow-in-go seats. Can haul most anything. Just fold and forget! SAT radio is great as we live in a rural community. There are some cheep plastic parts but over-all quality is good.
Nice van, but it needs help

I really like the looks and convenience features of the van. It has a solid feel on the road and a good ride. I am disappointed in the initial quality. We have had several electrical issues; dashboard blackouts, radio failure, a "clicking" noise in the upper console above the second row seats. 28 days in the shop within 6 mos. of ownership. Most problems were fixed with updated control modules but the "click" is still there and they can't figure it out. Gas mileage is not as good as rated, 20 to 22 mpg is the best it delivered on a rating of 24. If Chrysler could deliver better quality their designs would be tough for the competition to beat. Nice vehicles, but quality suffers.

We bought the van shortly after the arrival of our 2nd child. We figured we needed the room and went with the most popular model out there. One week after ownership, the tire monitor goes off and there's a leak in the rim. Dealer replaces the monitor. Week later, its back. Dealer fixes it. 2 months later, its back. Meanwhile, the side door has stopped closing all the way. Dealer takes 4 stabs at it before ordering all new mounting parts for the door. 15,000 miles into ownership and the brakes and rotors are so far gone that they are in need of $300 replacement. Dealer tells me its common for this van and I can expect that every $15,000 miles. Value dropped so now I cant sell it. Yay Chrysler

What stinks? My new 2008 Chrysler Minivan. While driving home after purchase back hatchet came open without any warning. After driving turned engine off and key would not release. Back passenger doors do not close properly have to use handle most of the time. Brakes & rotor went out at 22,000 miles. Rotten egg smell. Air conditioning stopped working. Have taken to dealer over 10 times and they can not fix or duplicate any of the problems the first time. It takes them at least 4 times to get anything addressed. Dealership has been no help. And Chrysler has been even less. Way to go Chrysler. I will never buy another Chrysler product. Why can't you fix anything the 1st time? Chrysler stinks

The new T & C Touring is sweet. My grandaughter wants to go in "Papa's Car whenever we go on a trip. The entertainment system is tops. We went to Florida shortly after we got the van. On the trip home from Dothan Ala. to Columbus Ga. We got 26.3 mpg! Not bad for a vehicle the size of a T & C. We were sold on Chrysler before we bought this one. We had 3 before this. Go get yourself one. You'll love it

We have had toyota,honda vans in the past. we traded in our toyota for the new chrysler t and c limited. We have had 4 navigation systems replaced,front bearings. If you can imagine we took the van in for an oil change and the dealer said our front brakes were metal to metal and the rears were 80%. The charge was $300.00 after a year our 6 year old twins have out grew the back seats,no leg room. Never Again.

Traded a 2000 T&C for this piece of junk. Radio locked up on one channel, rear bumper cover bowed up, gear shift noisy and hanging up, tires noisy, and interior is so noisy you cannot hear radio. Cruise control is terrible. It goes from 1750 rpms to 2500 almost continuosly. Then the anti theft switch went bad while in drive way and had to have it towed. It took three weeks to get new switch. It has about 16000 miles and the tires are making loud noise and it appears also brakes may need work. No wonder they are going bankrupt. I made a mistake buying this instead of Honda or anything else.

We really enjoy the swivel & go. It allows you to bring a restaurant on the road. The vehicle is fun to drive. We didn't get electric doors due to price incentives. Wished that it came in a hybrid or diesel for better mileage. Really enjoy the instrumentation on the panel. Allows you monitor your driving and how it affects your mileage.

I have to say, I never owned a Chrysler product before, but I bought the T&C Walter P. Package and it is the most value you can get for 35k. Navigation, Dual DVD's, Swivel Seats, It is unbelievable how much you get for the price. My advice is go to the dealership and hopefully you'll get a smart, knowledgeable, kind salesman as I did. i've had the car for 6 months, yes there have been a few minor problems, but I know that will happen with any new car, not knowing all about it. And with the Lifetime Warranty, I know I can run it until all the interior parts fall apart, which will be a while! I am a Chrysler fan for life!!
Love It!

It's great to have a minivan that my friends without kids actually think is cool! It looks more like an SUV from the outside now, and the luxury inside is the nicest I've seen. I've had it a couple months now and I am so happy with our decision to buy.

We purchased the 2008 T & C after talking ourselves out of the "Loser Cruiser" stigma. We have a2007 Durango, which is awesome, but not the family mover we needed. We traded my old sedan for the T & C and have not looked back. THe van is simply the most incredible, family oriented vehicle on the market. The DVD system is great for the boys (ages 4 and 2- year-old twins). After owning for a month we packed it up and headed ten hours south to Virginia Beach. Van performed great. We had it to the dealer once for a DVD door that was sticking when trying to close...Scranton Dodge swapped out the entire system and even changed the oil..on them! So far, van is exceeding our expectations.

After 12 month/12785 miles ownership, we are very happy with the 08 T&C Ltd. minivan. Highway mileage: 60 mph= 27- 38 mpg; 65-70 mph=23-24 mpg; local driving =14-16 mpg. Van has stow n'go seating, no tvs or navigation system. Bought a Garman Nuvi GPS instead which is very satisfactory. Warranty work so far: adjust the latches on two doors and address rattle in overhead console via Chrysler bulletin by torquing bolts that hold the console to the ceiling and taping a loose wiring harness behind the front light indside the overhead console. In summary, we're very happy with this van.

I purchased my 2008 Town & Country back in Dec 2007, the van has not been too bad overall, but I took it in for the 10,000 KM service. The Transmission is leaking it leaded about 500 mi in my drive in just 4 days of sitting. The materials on the interior are of very low quality. The few times the radio has had not volume, had to shut off the car and restart to get it to work. Swivel seat are too heavier to be removed, but they are comfortable. Second and third Legroom is less on the 2008 models compared to the 2002. I do like the storage bins. There is a TSB about the radio and dead batteries. Navigation maps are too old, update in fall

Bought this piece of American junk in 08. So far the doors have needed work, the heater/ac blower motor works intermittently, the dealer of course cant find a problem. Just got the front brakes done at 23,000 miles. My guess is the use of sub grade materials, poor acceleration on highway, brake calipers frozen on rear brakes and dealership tells me it could be a week before they come in. My hope is Chrysler disappears from the business. I will never buy another. Completely sickened by the company and their unwillingness to fix any problem unless it's out of the warranty period. Bunch of crooks...

On the whole my wife, kids and I love the van. As our first new car we like all the gadgets and the new car feel. BUT... after 10,000 miles I can hear both sliders make a creaking noise when taking off and just before coming to a stop. Also when hitting the brakes I get a vibration in the steering wheel and in the whole van.The faster I'm going when I hit the brakes the worse it is. After reading some of the reviews, this sounds like a rotor, pad problem. I may be wrong but I don't think a 42,000 dollar van [Paid 30] should do that. We also have the pass slider that wont close all the way unless done by hand. I haven't brought it in yet, so we'll see.
Really a bad, bad minivan!

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.

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.
Is it a lemon or is it the dealership?

Bought my van begining of the year. So far, I have had quirky little problems. If the Keypod is not turned on and "clicked back" nothing works, heat, radio, lights. I took it in and of course, nothing wrong. Took it back in a 3 weeks later because if I do a "california" stop, it jerks foward. Dealership told me that I need to stop at a stop sign. Lots and lots of brake dust flying out of my front tires. Said that was normal. Asked if I could get new brake pads put on, yes, for for a price. Sliding doors flew open or would not shut, fixed by new "download" repair. Now I just got back need all new ball bearings in tires. I'm going back to Chevy.

Got this brand new in July 08. May 09 - AC completely dead. Was told it is a known problem. It took two weeks to get the part. June 09 - luggage rack knob twists off. June 09 - transmission completely went out traveling to SC. Dealer in Florence told me there's nothing wrong though it could not move when towed in on Saturday. A week later traveling home transmission went out in VA - had to have a brand new one installed in VA (I live in Ohio). Was told this is a common problem. Not willing to pay expenses related to extra nights stay and travel from VA to OH and back. August 09 rear brakes froze - told known problem - 10 days now and they still can't find parts. HELP ME

I, like everyone else, had to replace the brakes at 15,000 miles and they still squeaked. Now, at 33,000 they need replacing again, and so do the rotors. It was suggested that it is my driving. In 20 years I have never had this problem before, so I don't think so. I am also having problems with the a/c, it doesn't cool well. The recall didn't fix it, either. And now, it is leaking something! I am seriously considering trading in this piece of junk for a Lexus with twice the miles and 2 years older. I chose this van because of the styling and the price. I never thought after 22 mos. I would be looking for a new car again. I will never buy another Chrysler.

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!

This car has been a nightmare, it has been in the shop more times than I can count. I had to replace my brakes within 14k miles & it was not covered in my bumper to bumper warranty, if they would have worn out 1000 miles earlier it would have been covered! My AC broke within a year, and they refused to fix it, said it's not a covered part even though I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that I paid for with my original financing. I have had a wheel bearing & hub replaced, it was covered but they still charged me the 100.00 deductible even those these are not normal things that would break within a year of having a car. Now i there is an electrical problem, unbelievable!

I bought this 45,000 vehicle in 6/08. By end of July the air had quit. Took it to get fixed. 2 weeks later I discovered an air conditioner leak that had MUSHROOMS growing in front passenger floorboard. I will send pics if any one doesn't believe this! Also brakes were messed up (crunching sound) at about 4000 miles. Took several times with them saying nothing wrong and finally had to be replaced @ 21000 miles. The all electric 3rd row seat had 2 b fixed b/c motor quit working on one side. The sliding passenger doors don't always close & has to be manually closed. Oh and the brakes are "crunching" again @ 30000 miles. Presets on the Satellite radio only (not fm) disappear & hav 2 b reprogrammed

We recently purchased our T&C minivan and I love this vehicle. We ended up using a F&F discount and received a huge discount on the vehicle. Not only do I feel like I got the best minivan on the market, I got it for the best price. I love everything about the vehicle from the exterior style to the interior comfort features. The dual dvd system, sat tv are the best thing one could ever find in a car to keep the little ones quiet. I can now either drive in piece and quiet or listen to whatever I want and the kids can still be happy watching what they want with the headphones. Great feature!

Like the last poster I too took my van on a road trip from Arizona to California for memorial day. At 3500 miles we heard a knock, lost all power and died. After being stranded with our 18month old on the side of the road it was towed to a dealership and we were told the engine was blown. After it was the for 2 weeks getting the small block repaired we drove it home to hear a knock again, our dealer here then had to replace the upper engine (rocker assembly) I have had nothing but a hard time from Chrysler over us being stranded out of state and having to then go back to Cali to get it. And another 4 days here to repair again. I had made one car payment on it and then had 3 weeks of rentals.

We traded in a 2005 300 Limited and we thought it was going to be hard to find a car that would drive, ride, and have the things we wanted to enjoy trips in but the new 2008 Chrysler T&C Limited we think is by far the best car we have ever owned. Talk about fuel economy, 28 on a trip.18-19 around town. There isn't any foreign car or van that I think would compare to this van all around. I also like the idea my money is staying here in the USA. We need it .This van has enought room to bring everything we need to FL for our winter months.

My wife and I are extremely happy with our purchase! The Town and Country is spacious, convenient, loaded with features-- 2 DVDs, GPS Nav (screen acts as 3rd TV in park), Swivel n' Go. We opted for the manual 3rd row reconfigure; the power feature is nice, but not required since manual reconfiguring is easy. Gas mileage is pretty much as advertised on the sticker (much better than the SUV we traded in!), but could be improved w/ a diesel engine. We test drove a 4.0L in the limited, and it was peppier, but we are happy with the 3.8 (and we're used to an overpowered SUV). Overall, an excellent product from Chrysler! Shoppers- also look at the Dodge Grand Caravan... only difference is looks.

I have had problems with my brakes. I had only 5% left of my brake pads at 21,000 miles. Thanks to their recent recall I had my front brakes replaced minus a $50 deductible (which is ridiculous!) and my a/c hose was also recalled and was low on freon due to the leak. Both have been fixed and no more problems. I also had a recall on the temperature gauge which I never receive a notice on. I had a problem in the past with the sliding doors just opening up on their own AFTER I locked the doors - but the dealership also fixed that no charge. I also am experiencing problems with my transmission but it never seems to happen when at the dealer. New prob the car sounds like a boat at the exhaust!

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)

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!
Nice Family Vehicle and Fun to Drive

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.

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.
not happy

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.

We bought the van due to transmission issues with our 1998 Tahoe with over 150000 miles, thinking we could avoid repairs for some time. What a joke. First it was DVD/NAV system problems, then the AC, NAV again, Front brakes at 23000 miles, Folding seats don't come up, Transmission Valve body- while driving to Soccer Toury- I coach need to be there on time- Stuck me in match box car for rental with three children, luggage, and equipment. This was Friday, did not get van back for 6 days and had to drive over 150 miles to pick up. Now at 35000 the rear brakes need to be replaced- thing is they don't have an after market brake YET it will cost $195 for this. It makes me sick- Never again!!!!!!!!

This piece of junk! Thank is all I can say. This was my first brand new vehicle. I was and am so disappointed in the van. Everything breaks on it! The life time transmission well thank god for life time you will need it! Ours has been in the shop 8 times for the transmission, 2 times for plastic snapping off of the seats, 4 times for the squeek in the front, 1 for engine light, oh! lets not forget if you happen to scrape the bottom in the front skirt there is a clip (plastic no less) that holds the front bumper to the side panels that will break. That will cost $500 and a body shop..2 times for the alarm not working. I hate this van!Save your money!

Brake pads went out at 18,000 the Transmission went out and rebuilt at 18,0000. Van quits running and the side doors fail open (SAFETY CONCERN) in the shop now. Contacted Chrysler and the dealership they are looking for the problem. This is the third major issue since we bought it 6/30/08.

We have an early build 20087, and it has been great. The only issue we have had has been the premature brake wear (that I caught right before 12K miles so dealer covered the cost). The fuel economy of this van has been fantastic, we have taken several road trips with full cargo area, and nothing at all is creaking, making noise, or otherwise working poorly. It is super comfortable, and looks great in brilliant silver. This is my first T&C as I could not buy a Honda since my Accord has had 4, yes 4, transmissions and a front end repaint since being bought new in 2002.

Brakes and tires need replaced at 24000 miles. There is a constant rattle in the overhead entertainment system that the dealership cannot keep fixed. Fuel economy is not great. Advertises 24 but with my family of six we have never gotten to 24, usually more like 22 on the hwy with a combined average of 18.

The Chrysler T & C is a great family vehicle. All that you want or need in a family minivan is here and then some.
Excellent Van

I have owned 5 new mini-vans since 1986, and this is be far the best one I've owned. We like all the extra features and have had not trouble of any kind since I purchased it. This is much improved from the 2005 model I owned. The 2005 model was the worst one I've owned. I would like a little better mileage, but it's not bad for a heavy van. I think a lot of people complain about their vans, but they probably complain about most everything they have. I also question how they drive and service them. I have driven over 1,500,000 miles in 17 new GM, Ford and Chrysler products, and never had much trouble with any of them. Don't drive them like a race car and service them properly.
