Within 2 years & less than 16,000 miles, i have had A/C problems 2x, sliding door issues, 3 tires w/leaks, battery needed to be replaced (i wound up paying a shop after a dealership said it would take them a week), glitches in entertainment system & braking! Chrysler fixed some (i still have A/C & and tire problems which i hope they will address) but gas mileage has also been horrific. Driving on highway I manage to get 16 & I am not a fast driver; I also do not idle the car, but barely get 11 driving locally. it is big and boxy, which some might like; we did good use of the DVDs after the repair software, but I still have to turn the engine off on sometimes to get it to work. 3rd is decent.
POOCH!!

I bought this mini van for my wife and 4 kids. It has the 3.3L V6 that is a TOTAL FRIGGEN DOG!!!! The real problem is the STUPID "fly by wire" throttle, if you mash the accelerator to the floor it only limps along and will NOT open up the throttle to 100%. I consider this a HUGE safety hazard. If you drive in heavy traffic you DO NOT WANT THE 3.3 L V6. It does not have the power to get out into traffic and up to speed in time to keep from getting run down by other traffic. Other than that, it's a mini van. I drove it from Illinois to Arizona, then up through Utah to Colorado and back to Illinois with the wife, 5 kids, and luggage on board. It was crammed but comfortable.

Owned two other T&C Lmtds, 2000 & 1996. Waited 8 yrs to replace last one, loved it, had a hard time letting it go at 136,000+ miles and MANY memorable, comfortable family trips, but rebates were hard to pass up. Within first week, back in shop for vibration over 60 mph-shop balanced tires, still vibrates. Rumbles, shudders at times when in park; jerks forward with rolling stops. Compared to previous T&C vans: cheap plastic, leather and cloth mixed in places, uncomfortable rear seats, cheap hard "leather" steering wheel, stiffness, feel the bumps, increasing highway wind noise the longer I drive it, poor window tinting design everywhere. Middle console slides into floor storage doors.
Disappointed

Just like all the reviews before me. We had a lot of problems with rotors and brakes. We replaced brakes at 16,000 miles and just now at 47,000. I mean , come on! We have had many different vehicles before and never had to replace brakes like this.WE replaced rotors at 47,ooo miles also. At 35,000 we had to replace a piece in the transmission. My old Town and Chrysler was never this bad. Chrysler really needs to fix this problem.My touch screen radio and dvd player also was replaced at 20,000 miles, and sometimes when you start the van it won't come on for a few minutes. next time we buy, it won't be from Chrysler.

I purchased this van 4 months ago. Since then it has been in the shop for problems with door alignment 4 times. The motor on the fan has gone out and been replaced and have replaced the front brakes. This has all occurred before 36,000 miles. The transmission also slips, so I am sure that will need to be replaced at my expense as well. I hate to see what is to come with this van until I can trade it for something that has better quality.
