Buyer Beware Brake Life

We purchased a certified used 2008 T&C LX with 3000 miles in January. New brakes and rotors required at 17K miles. Based on other online reviews and some quick math, it became apparent we would have to pay for a complete brake replacement every 15K miles or so. Wear items are not covered under warranty so we were looking at a $800 hit every year. I can understand a brake replacement at 30-40K but not annually. Clearly there is a design problem with the 2008s. After much back and forth with the dealer and Chrysler corporate, we agreed to a $250 deductible. Once fixed, we traded in vehicle. Sorry Chrysler!

I love this van but when I stomp on the gas the engine whines and then slowly boosts like a turbo. I've owned a 1998 Grand Caravan with 310,000 miles on it and I never had to service it. With this crap I'am taking it in weekly. I should have a reserved parking stall at the dealer when I take in for servicing. It's comfortable riding

Happy with Our Van

Bought our van in august 2008. It is our first van and we bought it because we wanted to do some traveling. We live in Pennsylvania and just did our second round trip to central Florida. Its been fun to drive, smooth & reliable. The only problem weve had is the air stopped blowing cold on the way down. Fortunately it was just a line leak and it was fixed at the dealership in Winter Haven, fla in one day and the air was icy once again. We are very glad we bought this type of van and the first 20,000 miles have been great. Only slight disappointment is the gas mileage is not as good as chrysler said-about 22 on the highway and only 10-11 in the city.

Like many other 2008 T&C owners, this was our third Chrysler minivan, and, like many other 2008 T&C owners, this will be our last! To be told by the dealer they know things are problems, such as premature brake wear, premature tire wear, and side doors that open and close on their own, and THEN to be told those items are not covered by Chrysler, and THEN to be told by CHRYSLER that those items are known issues, but again that they will not be covered, is just too much. This vehicle was very, very disappointing, and the service from both the dealership and the corporate offices was the worst I have ever received from anyone. Too bad, because the previous two vans were great. Never again.

I didn't want a mini van. I loved my Durango. We needed something newer that would fit the family more comfortable. After test driving the van I knew that we found something. They didn't have the color I wanted to the dealership found me what I wanted. I have been reading other reviews about things needing to be fixed and having a hard time getting them fixed. We had a problem with the windshield not being sealed all the way. We had no problem getting it fixed. Maybe people should be a little bit more understanding that it is the first year of a new model. There will always be problems that need to be fixed. If you treat the people with respect you will be treated better.
