2008 Chrysler Town and Country Limited 4dr Minivan (4.0L 6cyl 6A)

As mentioned by another reviewer, I have had to replace the rear breaks twice with only 43,000 on the vehicle. Many electrical problems. Currently has an electrical issue that is messing with the starter, but the part is on back order, so I will just have to hope it keeps running until the part comes in. The button you push to change gears has broken twice. This is considered cosmetic under the extended warranty plan, and therefore is no longer covered. Front headlight cost $300 and four hours to repair.

Overall this is an excellent buy for the amount of money you pay. I think the leather seems very soft and that may be a problem with kids and that is the only reason I gave a score of 8 on interior. Similarly I think it should hold up but the exterior could have used better quality plastics. Overall performance on 4.0 engine, fun factor, the electronics on board are great, considering this is a mini-van. The doors were acting up but dealer is not trained well or they do not have a good problem database. My friend who has the same van showed me how to fix the problem by tightening a hex screw on each door - DONE. Need wider set of tires and need the spare tire in a better place - come on!

I was driving my 1985 Plymouth Voyager in September 2018 when I spotted this minivan with a “For Sale” sign in the window. I had longed for this body style for many years. I contacted the owner and purchased it with the miles shown above. I have owned many Chrysler products in the past, but driving this van is like stepping into the future! I purchased this van specifically because of the 3.8L V6 overhead valve, pushrod engine. It is ‘old school’ built like engines in the past, simple to maintain. Even with all these miles and being a 3rd owner, the engine burns no oil, the 6 speed transaxle works smoothly and the van overall is silent on the road. I cannot even hear the engine, it is so well insulated. Yes, I have only driven it a little over 5,000 miles but I find it to be a great ‘over the road’ vehicle. I have to wonder what those folks who had breakage problems at so low miles on their vans were doing. This van had been in commercial service by the previous owner and nothing was broken. Well, nothing but the windshield with chips and cracks from much highway useage. First thing to be replaced along with brake pads from normal wear. To those of you who are still driving your 2008 and newer Town and Country van, you should have many years of dependable service ahead. I expect it from mine.

Bought the 2008 town and country in may of 2008 with 65,000 miles on it. It now has 69,000 miles on it and the transmission is not working. Will have to spend between $1500.00 to $2500.00 to have it fixed. What a piece of crap! I guess I should have listened to myself and stuck with a Ford! Very disappointed in this vehicle!

Do not buy this van!!!! i bought it in 2010 with 25,000 miles on it and within 300 miles of having it the transmission died. Chrystler did repair it but i had to pay 500 dollars for it. At 35,000 miles my rear seat did not want to go down for stow and go and is stuck at a half cocked position. not to long after that the other seat is stuck at a half cocked posistion. i have had multiple roof leaks, at sunroof, break problems, rotar problems, tires seem to need replacing to often, i now have a major oil leak, the coolant starting to leak, the window went and got stuck shut, sometimes the heater wont blow on the window, the clock dont work, major delay on the radio turning on and much more
