Keep on cruizin!!
An overall good family vehicle. I travel CONSTANTLY interstate, and I take the seats out and camp in it. I find the stow n go floor storage bins MOST HELPFUL, as I keep supplies in them and that saves more room. I tinted the sides and rear windows limo-tinting, to cut down solar ray intrusion. I really like the convienience of the overhead dvd player. ALL in all...i'm a big fan!!
What a Lemon!
Oh Boy What a Lemon!!!!!!! Where do I start. I bought this van new in 2008. Ever since I have replaced brake pads annually. Rotors every other year. It has gone through two sets of new tires. It has numerous very serious recalls. Two new sets of front wheel bearings. The most recent major fix was this winter at 80,000 miles the head gaskets needed to be redone. Now the front struts are completely shot. This vehicle only has 90,000 miles on it. Too say this vehicle has been nothing but a stress would be an understatement. It has since purchase spent on average every 3 to 4 months in the shop for major fixes of one sort or another. Now struts. What are the odds if I just hold out these too will be recalled? argh!!!!!! A warning to anyone considering buying this vehicle used, do not Purchase. The only reason I have not sold or traded this vehicle in is I refuse to pass this lemon on and void the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Chrysler is gonna honor that for life and I'm not gonna let them off the hook for putting out such a piece of crap product by selling this POS to some poor unassuming sap who doesn't know better. :( :( Never will I buy another chrysler product and I have been a faithful chrysler owner for over 20 years.

Jury is still out
We just purchased our 4th used town and country. Overall they have been reliable with minor problems. This one we purchased about 2 weeks ago, this morning I started the van and it turned on however no accessories would work. No wipers, doors, fan, or radio ( will fill you in on this in a bit). The VES system with the van is great, when it is not freaking out and deciding if it this will be the day it quits completely. So to everyone out there that has had problems with the electronics PLEASE report it to Chrysler so we can get a recall generated!
I am truly astounded. With over 221,000 miles.
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.

Transmission
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!
