180K and going for another 200K!!!

We purchased this 2008 tc touring with 160K in early spring 2015 and bought it for right at 6,000 I guess bc of the migher miles. After purchasing it we put new yokahama tires H rated for that little extra security, all four brakes ,brake hoses , replaced plugs flushed coolant changed all wiper blades fixed the typical heater hose issue behind the exhaust manifold replaced the rear blower motor and changed the air filter as well as run nothing but Mobil 1 5w 20... I did this trying to start off with the van somewhat reliable so far I notice slight oil usage but considering the miles I'm not complaining it could be seeping from the rear main seal but not enough to make spots on the driveway. I bought an egr valve bc I heard that's a common failure but over all I think if you do good maintenance and replace parts as needed these vans can be great machines for a family. They are roolol affordable and just handy. We plan on dropping another engine and/or transmission in it and keep running it for a long time. Age doesn't bother me its more about maintenance and although the transmission does shift a bit goofy but seems to do everything its supposed to lol

Since two weeks after purchasing our new van it had problems. In the middle of August with less than 60 miles on the car our air doesn't work. The dealer fixes it to have it not work for the next 2 summers. This was only the beginning. We've had numerous brake replacements, ball bearings replaced, ignition replacement, cracked radiator (new one), air conditioner hose replaced twice, a brand new transmission, remote window locks broken, complete realignment of drive shaft. These are only the ones we can remember. I have two friends with the same car. They have the exact same problems. This car was a money pit with cheaply made parts.

Too many problems if you don't know how to do minor things like changing engine parts and brakes then you better have a lot of money to pay the mechanic shop because it will be one problem after another and never ends. I will never never buy another Chrysler or nothing similar like dodge or anything that has Chrysler engine and transmission because theirs another van from vw that has Chrysler engine and transmission. Next vehicle will be Toyota or Honda minivan. Do your homework and be compare. Take you're time to buy and what ever vehicle you're buying check out the details and reviews.

A Minivan that I Want to Drive

We have two toddlers and a teenager and we were looking for a vehicle that accomodated the family and all our things. We have been resisting the minivan market, but the Family Room on Wheels commercial made us test drive the T&C. We ended up buying it and absolutely love it. The toddlers are disappointed when they have to ride with me in my Tahoe. The ride is great, it rides like a car with minimal interior noise and an overall smooth ride. The seats are comfortable and the features are endless. We have the dark blue with cream interior which looks great and the amount of chrome outside really makes the colors pop. Here goes...I love my minivan!

Piece of Junk!

So, I traded in my Toyota Sienna to help the US economy and bought a Town and Country. Are you kidding me??? After 3 months and 2500 miles the following has already needed to be repaired. 1) Alignment was way off. 2) Gear shifter replaced (well not yet it is on back order!)Broken AND squeaks 3) Driver's side window regualtor. 4) Ignition modules with 2 keys. Key got stuck and could not remove. First one broke 5)Replaced and relubed hubcaps due to excessive noise. How am I supposed to feel for my family's safety?? What next? I am trading this piece of junk in for a Sienna. Oh, in case you are wondering, I bought this in November 08 for 20k after rebates...trade in value 2/08 13k!
