Good Car but Chrysler should be ashamed of a few things
Good car. Gas mileage is not as good as advertised but the van is a heavy/big van. Two things that are a joke that they are an issue. First, the Y connection from the heater core is made out of plastic. This apparently goes bad about 4 years/80k mile range. It will crack and leak where the molded plastic comes together. I fixed with a metal plumbing T connection, some connectors, and new heater hose for about $8. This should be a recalled defect. Also, there is a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the doors. It's not. It's coming from the brake lines. I added 5/8" rubber hose to help cushion the two lines from squeaking. I replace these bad engineer designs for about $10.
Family owned van
We bought this Van new in 2010 with the 4.0 V-6. The van has been very reliable. We achieve 26 MPG highway doing 70MPH on flat level road. In the rolling hills and mountains of Tennessee and Montana we made 22 MPG hwy. City driving averages 16-18MPG in Charleston SC. The van comfortably tows my boat weighting 3,500lbs. Climate control & DVD system work great. I recommend either full synthetic or synthetic blend oil changed at 4-5k intervals. Transmission shifts smooth and feels solid. The front wheel drive operates well in deep snow and slushy ice. This van has been driven to Arizona, Washington, Montana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Florida without any problems. Money well spent.

Watch Out
I have 800 miles on it and it's been brought back twice to the dealer. Right out of the lot the 4.0l motor has a rough idle. Seems they all run like this. 3.8 L runs much smoother. Then the engine light came on at 800 miles. Dealer said it's running lean, Chrysler is aware of it and is working on a fix. Not what I want to here when you drop $35k on a new vehicle. So far I am starting to regret buying a Chrysler. I hope it last since I keep my cars. I would not recommend buying this vehicle. Chrysler no longer returns my e-mails.
Electronic failure is expensive to fix
I bought this van at 42,000 miles for its cargo space. It has a comfortable ride, great for hauling 8 people around town, and was a joy to own.. for the first year. Then we had brake issues. Not the normal rotor & pad repair, but had to have the the front end rebuilt. Cost was about $800. On to year three.. same problem with back end , rebuilt the back end as well. Year 4, car is now worth $8000 according to my insurance adjustors. I hit a deer and did about 6K worth of damage. Got the car home from the repair shop, then my headlights started to fail. Then the engine started running rough . There is a electrical control unit ( i think its called the IVM) that has to be replaced; $1300. There also has been fluid leaking into parts of the engine and the spark plugs, so all that area (forgive me I dont remember the exact parts) has to be replaced. Another $1000. Within 3 months and 102000 miles this car has literally self destructed. Repair shop says the current problems are not related to the deer accident as they have had other vans come in with the same issue. So.. this is a KNOWN issue with Chrysler. I owned one Chrysler minivan about 20 years ago and swore I would never purchase another... shame on me. I did not heed my instincts.

Always wanted one
I always admired the T&C whenever I rode in them and knew that whenever the need arose I would get one. From carting around fishing poles to wheelchair and long trips on the road (with an airbed in back)- it was the perfect solution for us. This van came with a Sirius sat. and the remaining warranty from the dealer. We don't use the 2/3rd row seats that often and don't have room to store seats, so this worked perfect for our situation. Van came with 23k miles and got it for 19.9k
Updated REVIEW-7/18/2017
I have owned this van for 4 years. About a year into owning the van the engine light would come on. A day or two later it would go off. As the years have gone on if the van idles too long the next time I go to start it it won't start. Now it just decides when it wants to start. It's a computer problem with a cost of over $1000. Other friends that have this van have the exact same problem. One fixed it and it still has the same issue. I don't recommend this van at all! I'm looking to get rid of this one and go back to a Chevy product. ***UPDATE...Still will never purchase another Chrysler product. It's to the point during the summer that I can't even run my A/C otherwise the van won't start. I've taken it to numerous mechanics and no one can seem to find the problem. I've contacted Chrysler and they can't seem to help either. This van is nothing but a joke. I'll have to keep it a few more years due to having teenagers now driving but as soon as I can get rid of it I WILL!!! I'll go back to Chevy. I just if you're looking for a van find a Chevy or Ford product! *****UPDATE 7/18/2017- This van just kept getting worse. I could drive it then would have to let it sit for atleast 45 minutes before it would restart. Each mechanic told me something different including dealerships that "could possibly" be wrong with the van. I decided that if I was going to for out hundreds to thousands of dollars I'd rather put that towards another vehicle. So a month ago I traded my piece of crap chrysler van in for a Chevy Equinox in which I LOVE. When people ask how I like the Equinox I say I LOVE it..it starts, I can run the A/C plus I have a fob that actually works! I'll NEVER go back to a Chrysler product.

Way better than old Honda
I love this Minivan! We had a 09 Honda Odyssey that had to have its transmission replced twice in the year we owned it. The Town & Country feels so much better made. And of course, we don't hae to woory about being stranded. Tried the Toyota Sienna too. Looked weird and I dont want to risk having my family hurt with all of those Toyota recalls.
Excellent Value
Having owned both Honda and Toyota vans in the last 4 years I believe that the Chrysler T&C is on par with both of them. Feature for feature the T&C surpasses both of them at a price that is thousands less. The ride and interior environment is very comfortable not sporty but this is a van. If the 2010 version of the T&C fixes many of the earlier years problems then this van will be in the family for a long time.
worst vehicle i have ever owned
waste of money !! brakes need to be replaced once a year that includes rotors, eats tires , transmission is worthless shifting is terrible , was told by three dealers that its normal to shift hard or not shift at all ?? rear heater hoses always blow and are very expensive to repair and its not covered under any warranty. I will never buy another Chrysler/Dodge product ever again 55,000 miles and this van is always broken .

LimitedVan
I've had this van for around 7 years since bought new in 2010. It's great on road trips, and getting around town! Rear entertainment works great, and love rear heated seats. There hasn't been any major issues with it, but the Blind Spot Monitoring broke in the first couple of years owning the car. Swivel and go is a very fun feature for everyone, everyone can face each other! Tire monitor can be very picky though, and it usually says it needs air even if it really doesn't. Overall, it's been a great experience!

Comfortable ride with lots of room
We actually got this Van with a strait trade for the car we had. The value was about the same. We also got new tires on the van in the trade because the car we had just got tires. Everyone was happy. Mom then went on a 1000 mile trip to TX. The van currently has about 217000. It has been very dependable. The only real issues have been the lining around the door in the back has pealed on the right side and the left is just starting. This is causing wind noise to come in. Also the switch for the driver window broke. You can't just get a switch you have to replace the entire unit. Still looking for a good price. It's around $120-185. The tire gauge sensor is messing up. Told normal issue. Has a small oil leak we need to fix. Keeping a eye on it. This is a daily driver about 80 miles a day. I love the radio fetchers. I use a aux cable with my phone and spotify. I really like all the storage. i have the seats up even though I have no one traveling with me. I love the floor storage that you can hide stuff and no one can see it. Its very big. Lots of room in the back to hold groceries and other stuff securely. I also, at my seat on the floor, have a molded storage spot to hold a umbrella. They think of everything! The driver and passenger seats have these two hooks that I just realized could hang a bag from easily and use as a garbage bag. I was just looking for some kind of van garbage bag, saved me $20. Very dependable van. would take on a trip any time! —— Update Have had it 6 months. Still driving it every day. Works fine. Just found a small coolant leak. Good gas milage. Also found can use the USB port on the radio to plug my phone charger. No adaptor needed. Charges phone while driving and listening to Spotify. I haven’t used my storage in the radio yet but plan to. Dependable driver. Would go on a trip in.

Great Van
We traded in our Toyota van for this Town and Country. So far there is no comparison between the two. I have to say that I truly love this van. Anyone with children would love this thing...We just returned from a road trip to Florida and I am glad that we had this van , the ride is incredible....Thank You Chrysler for a job well done....Happy in Toronto
Great for big families but poor build
the van has gobs of room and then some. but everything is plastic and breaks. lots and lots of road noise. If your on a road trip on the highway don't expect to hold a conversation from back seat to front seat with out yelling. no engine problems but don't have to much to back it.. transmission stinks, poor shifting either to late or jerks in to gear. seats are like sitting on a milk crate with plywood bolted to it. front seat leg room is a joke. I'm only 5' 9" and I need to have the seat the all the way back and my legs don't rest on the seat. the rear seats are even worse for adults not tall enough and head rest in bad location. folding seats in to the floor is a great feature. no more dropping a nut for throwing your back out lifting and moving the seats and finding somewhere to store them. over all, I am NOT buying another one in the future. sad to say having the Chrysler badge on the front does not mean luxury. it means quickly and cheaply made. if it wasn't for the room I would have sold this darn thing about a week after buying it.

Annoying alignment
Ever since my test ride the vehicle has had a tendency to drift to the right. It has been in the shop 5 times in the last 10 months to try to correct the drifting. The last effort the dealer made was to remove the factory struts and install new ones that allow more adjustment. It is better with these but there is still a noticeable steering imbalance. The head man at the dealer said that the 2008-2010 models are extremely tight. any variance in the alignment and the vehicle wont drive straight. Its annoying to drive around in a new vehicle and always having to steer it defensively! Test drive your vehicle first before you sign on the dotted line.
After 100,000...Beware!
I originally posted Fuel Pump failed at 103,000 miles. Since then we have replaced brake pads..again! Engine light keeps coming on related to emissions. The engine is starting to make a lot of noise (110,000) and the transmission is shifting harder than ever. And the stereo sometimes doesn't even come on. Engine has started missing and even tries dying after morning start. Have had more trouble with battery cable hot clamp. We are on our 3rd.

Dont Buy It!
Recently bought a used T&C with low miles. I have only had it for 6 months and already had issues with it stalling, also issues with breaking system. Spoke with manager from Chrysler and they will not back their product. Needless to say,I will never buy another Chrysler vehicle again. I hope that this helps anybody else to make a decision on what to buy. I told the rep from Chrysler that I would be sure to advertise for them. But I should also add, shame on GM for no longer making a mini van for those with young children. Oh, one more thing I forgot, 16mpg is what I have been getting.
Love my van, but too many issues below 40K
Leased a 2008 and purchased a 2010. On my 2010 at around 21,000 miles had to replace the front bearing hubs (also on 2008) and rear brakes. Two tires HAD to be replace (2/32) and other 2 had some left (7/32). Rotated every other oil change. Never thought about needing tires and thought funny never mentioned during their multi point inspection at oil changes. Bearing hubs were covered under warranty, complained about needing rear brakes and was charged just a $50 fee, and Chrysler and Yokohama made me whole on the 2 tires after some pressing of the issue. Now at 39,000 new front and rear brakes and rotors. A/C out as of 2 days ago and need to take in. City gas mileage not even close.
So Far, So Good
Reliability was definitely a concern when purchasing this vehicle, after reading bad review after bad review...but after test driving the T&C, we were pretty much sold. The vehicle is comfortable and has served our family well. My only complaint is that the road noise is a bit loud...but this is more of a minor annoyance than anything. Our 2010 T&C Touring has about 12k miles on it now and so far, we have not had any issues. We've been very happy with our purchase so far.
No dealer help
Cruise control is not consistent. Same downgrade, one time shifts to 4th and maintains speed, next time shifts to 3rd and engine revs to 5500 rpm clear to bottom of hill. Trans does not shift as smooth as when new (4500 mi.) dealer says it works perfect, according to their computer readout. This van also would go to idle driving down road. Had to be towed in twice. New accelerator solved problem. Scary at best. District managers advise do not use Cruise control on downgrades (brilliant duh-h-h) I've driven Chrysler products since 1953, this is the last one. Engineering is really missing in these new vehicles. You will get no help by going to their help line. You bought it you own it, tough! Goodbye Chrysler.
My First Chrysler
I am a GM retiree and GM buyer. I have owned 3 GM mini vans, I like mini vans. GM doesn't make mini's anymore, big mistake. I bought a Town & Country because I refused to buy a foreign car. I was hesitant because of the reviews, however this is the best vehicle I have owned in a long time. The interior is great, nice soft leather and is comfy on long trips. I got 25 mpg average highway with a high of 27 on 2 separate trips. I traded in a 09 GMC Acadia, lousy mileage and tough to get in and out of.
2010 chrysler town and country 3.3 V6
The 3.3 V6 is awesome I had one in a dodge dynasty and put 155,000 trouble free miles this is why I wanted the 3.3 V6.I`m also a do it yourself and I work on my own cars and the 3.3 v6 is easy to work on oil filter and spark plugs easy to change. Engine is peppy and fuel efficient!The 3.3 V6 is really dependable and will run forever!
disappointed
bought our car brand new 3 1/2 years. brought it to dealer after a 2 years because of a funny noise and jerky motion that it makes when you shift from parking to rear to front or neutral they just did some computer updates on it said it is ok, the problem seem to diapear for a little, then again in a year it started to do the same brought it in this time and they told us that front motor mount needs to be replaced and there is a charge for that warranty doesn't cover it. Car also has very fast brake pads wear.
Should I trade now?
My T&C van has been nothing but a pleasure to drive, until... Suddenly it has begun to feel different. The ride is starting to get rough. The transmission is starting to shift a lot less smoothly. And the gas mileage for in town has gone down the tubes. But all-in-all, I am happy that I have had the opportunity to drive this vehicle. I just fret that it will not make the 250,000 miles my Chevy Venture did. I am beginning to see lights burning out, and engine parts being replaced left and right. So far, my extended warranty has saved me thousands..oh my. I think that it is time to trade.

Great ideas poorly executed.
My family and I just took a Town and Country on a 1,000 mile round trip to Baltimore and back. Despite having some very clever features (stow and go seats for example) the engine (3.8 liter V6) and transmission along with the interior build quality was horrible. Chassis dynamics were horrible too; delivering a vomit inducing ride over highways which when coupled with the transmission and engine's lurching motions caused my son to get sick three times over a few hundred miles. Hope Fiat can turn Chrysler around becasue the basic ideas are excellent, but the overall execution is beyond poor. This sample only had 5K on it.
Moved Up
This is our 6th Chrysler Minivan. Lived in Wisconsin and had a AWD Town & Country and fell in love with it. We had a 2009 T & C Touring but wanted a Limited with built in nav system. Did have a problem right out of the gate with the engine light. Dealer had vehicle for a week and finally found the problem. There is nothing out there that beats it for traveling. We now live in Florida and it's great for picking up people at the airport, 6 people and luggage, no problem. The most comfortable ride, room for seven and good fuel economy. Can't beat it.
10 years strong!
Y connection on coolant lines will break. Make sure that has been fixed. Ensure 100,000 mile service was done completely. Neutral safety switch might fail inside the transmission. Make sure a transmission specialist evaluates entirely before you purchase. This vehicle consumes 1-2 quarts of oil between changes, it’s done it since day 1. Don’t let it get low. Otherwise it has been a solid kid hauler and still going strong. Out of warranty maintenance has bee about $5000 at the dealership.

Electrical, Transmission and check Engine
The good: Nice comfortable and great for the family. The bad: Electrical, Check engine due to sensors, ECM, Transmission ( NO dipstick) make sure to change the fluid in timely manner and check it out by qualified tech. Don't take it to a dealer to change your oil change. Most of them are C techs ( Mechanics are graded by level of experience as A, B or C, most techs are not even level C, lol) or don't know what they are doing. My oil pan plug stripped 3 times, because they rush. and you will end up paying for the whole oil pan assembly, because of someone else's fault. Mine was replaced 3 times at a dealer in 2 years, until I took it somewhere else and I found out the truth. Not all dealers or private shops are equal. I’m a review believer ( check out google n bing reviews online) but read their reviews and always seeks 2nd or third opinion. Lastly, never rush the service writer to get your car done fast, he/she will tell the mechanic to skip some work on your vehicle to get your car out to you in time, to be charged for services never done. Advice for all those who take their vehicles to dealer, get to know the mechanic there, it will save you time, money 💰 n headache. If you have an open mind and a good heart, you will come out a winner.

noisey
Great minivan except we have had lots of problems with squeaking & rattling in the elect. side doors. 4 months after we bought it in May of 2010 it has been in the Chrysler shop about 6-8 times for the doors. It is VERY annoying. Chrysler rep. is now involved. We will see what the outcome is. Other wise we love the van.
Our first Family Car (Disaster) I will never buy again
We bought this Car summer of 2010. After a year the real headache came in. From (1)Transmision Jerking very hard, (2) Noisy sliding doors, (3)Vibration problems, (4)front rotors and brakes replaced at 18k miles and I have to pay 100 USD and the (5) worse thing is electrical systems went off in the middle of the road when while your drivin. Sad to say the dealership made me look stupid after I reported the problems. Leaving my car without a loaner at their fascility for them to check, the moment they called me that my car is ready, All I can see is "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" they replace some parts in transmission and ignition after I fought chrysler but after that problem still exist.
Nicest Road manners
This is our 3rd minivan purchase in the last 10 years. Previously owned 2 Honda Odysseys. This hands down has the nicest ride of any minivan we've ever driven. The interior is quiet and the van feels incredibly solid on the road. The Odyssey always had a noisy interior and felt very "airy" when driving. All of the vans we test drove had very nice interiors with lots of luxury features....the T&C just seemed to stand out a little bit more. I thought for sure we would be most impressed by the new Sienna...but both my wife and I preferred the feel and comfort of this van
First Mini-Van
My wife and I are expecting our third child soon. It was time to make a change to a mini-van and we are so glad that we purchased the Town & Country Touring. The automatic doors (side and rear) are a tremendous when watching three children. The entertainment system, interior, & exterior designs are well thought out with the family in mind. Westbury Chrysler (Long Island, NY) installed a hitch for free in addition to the great price. It is a better vehicle than the Honda and Toyota- and it's American made.
Unhappy Experience
After driving four months, my experience is not happy and the build quality is poor. With 1600 miles, it has been sent to dealers twice. The first visit is at 600 miles, the minivan gave rattle noise over bumpy roads. The dealer checked the vehicle for two hours and found that the emergency parking cable was not installed securely during assembly and was loose. Other problems we have: 1) it gives crunch noise before the minivan completely stops after braking; and 2) the slider windows (glass) rattle over bumpy roads when opened part way because the gaps are too big. The dealer thinks that is normal. So I have to bear with those annoying noises.
Luxury at a great price
Purchased '10 T&C Touring Plus, and so far we love it. Test drove/read reviews on Toyota Sienna and Honda, but decided on T&C. First, price was going to be at least $5k less than comparables, and the T&C actually is more loaded than even these comparable competitors, and most of these features are standard on Touring Plus.(I drive an Acura MDX, so I know about luxury options.) TV screens in both 2nd and 3rd rows is awesome, and love that they can watch same DVD or 2 different DVDs at the same time. T&C has also figured out that regardless of the color of the leather seats, the floor carpet should be black. Didn't want the "Blind Spot Assist" option, but now wouldn't go without it.
Very surprised and pleased
Just bought this town and country ltd with almost every option and love it! Was looking at the waler p edition but went with the limited because I got such a good deal on it, dealership gave great price but salespeople there at marino in Chicago don't have any knowledge about how the van options work also dealership too cheap to fill up the tank, 4 liter engine is powerful with little noise, ride is smooth and handles great, very pleased with our first van, love the swivel and go seats and the built in child seats, safety option is nice for wife, love the high beam auto sensor and wiper blade sensors, leather seats are top notch, all the little details are great, would recommend
Great van that is very dependable
Got this van in 2016. We actually had gotten a 2008 grand marquis from my grandfather that my mother didn't care for. A local dealer had been having trouble selling this van for some reason. The Van had one owner before that traveled a lot of miles for work however kept up on maintenance and oil changes. Mostly highway miles. When we got it I think it had about 160k miles in 2016. We actually did a strait swap of vehicles and he included new tires because our tires were new. Mom then took a road trip not long after. After about 4 years we have had very little wrong with it. We have also driven a huge amount and put on about 100k miles. For a few months the van has been doing double trips taking my brother to work and going to pick him up because mom needed the van also for doctors appointments. Mostly just had regular maintenance. We just recently replaced all 4 struts/shocks. We lost one of the keys and will be having to replace it. Also we want to turn on the Bluetooth fetcher on the radio. We also have a small oil leak that will be fixed. The check engine light just turned on and when I got it checked found engine backfiring and was getting worse. Got a tune up with new plugs, cables and coil. fixed it right up.I will say that with just a few tools that are cheap I think anyone could do the tune up after watching a youtube video. I was however working a huge amount, it is very cold and when I would do it would have been when it was dark. I just had it done. Extremely dependable van that has plenty of room in the back. We keep the fold able walker in the back for mom if she needs it. She is on oxygen and then when she had the battery powered oxygen the front plugs were in a good place. The van looks like it has a lot of the upgrades and the nicer center storage with several sliding trays between the front seats. We do like how much room is available with the seats folded down and really like the hidden storage with the seats out. plenty of seating. We have not used the entertainment systems much but it is interesting having plugs and a inverter to plug ac items in and hook up a gaming system in to play on trips. plenty of room with the seats folded to lay a inflatable mattress down to sleep. I have heard some people taking all the seats out and having that room and also the storage and just traveling. Lots of cup holders and stuff available.

Lousy Air Conditioner drain design
Because some worker on Chrysler's Assembly line forgot to install it or mangled installing the gromet on my air conditioner condensate drain the water from the a.c. drain came into the interior, ruining the floor of the carpet and causing $1200 damage. Because it was just slightly out of warranty by a couple thousand miles Chrysler is making me pay $400 of the $1200 repair. DON'T buy one of these vans. The stow n go seating convenience doesn't make up for poor build quality.
2010 Chrysler Stealer Dealer
I will sum this up quick I have a filing cabinet filled with repair orders, and recalls for this LEMON. If you are looking for a trade in stay far away from Chrysler-Dodge do some research it is everywhere many, many problems. I just wish I found reviews like mine before I got stuck purchasing a LEMON. And for the love of God stay away from Levittown Chrysler dealership they will rob you blind and most likely sell you a LEMON to.

LEMON!!!
Bought The 2010 Town&[non-permissible content removed] Fed. 2015 with 57k miles. So far the parts we have changed are the battery and terminal connections, pads and rotors all around, starter, power steering hose, axle seal, the main computer in the van, and the solenoid pack for the transmission has been replaced twice. This van will not go up my driveway in reverse without feeling like somethings gonna break. It starts when it wants to, or it just clicks like you have a dead battery. You can start it with remote start and when you put the key in and turn it, it shuts down. The dealership just had this thing for 8 days and still can't figure anything out because they cannot duplicate the problem and it shows no codes in the computer. So pretty much you will just throw parts into until they figure it out. I was driving along about 60mph when it downshifted to 3rd gear and the engine light came on and it was stuck not going above 3rd gear, had to have it towed and rent a car on my own dime.

3 Major Defects...
Owe this car new, now 28k miles on it. 1. The sliding door could remain open and I can lock it with my remote. Seems kinda dumb to be able to lock the locks with either of the sliding door open. Seems like an oversight in design. 2. All 4 rotors worned out and warped. Chrysler is willing to pay part of replacement cost. Seriously, this is a manufacturer material issue. So far 3 other people I know have similar problem with 2009 and 2010. 3. Transmission shifts very hard between 1 to 3 and downwards too. Other similar year van does not have as pronounced shift as my van, but dealer claims it is normal and expected. Since computer shows no code, hence no issue. Will update when know more.
Love this van!
Although this is my first Chrysler van, it certainly won't be my last Chrysler Town&Country! My current Town&Country Limited's ride is unreal. It's ultra smooth and has very little wind noise which mean passengers in the rear can carry-on conversations with those in the front of the van. In addition to this, the 4.0 engine has plenty of pep--a drastic change from vans I had before!
I love this car
We drove nearly every competitor's model before making our decision. This one drives like a car. You feel the road without sacrificing a smooth ride. I've heard the complaints about the build quality and reliability. Our dealer threw in a lifetime warranty (for our lifetime - not the vehicle's lifetime) from Daimler. It is normally $3k. It covers windshield, interior and exterior components, engine, rental car, electrical and tires with no pro ration for wear. The only thing we pay for are maintenance items like oil changes, filers and brake pads. I figure that despite the reliability issues, I'm covered for as long as I own this vehicle. It's comfortable and my kids love it.
Review
My wife and I purchased a Town and Country Limited and we both love it. It drives great and it is very functional having 3 children. We needed a vehicle with more space and easy for the kids to get in and out of and our SUV just didn't have the room (or MPG) we were looking for and no crossover that we looked at could match the space and comfort of a minivan. We read the articles that talked about the quality of the interior but I love how it is designed and looks. We also tested a 2009 Nissan Quest and 2011 Toyota Sienna and feel the Town and Country is much nicer and has more features for the price.
Problems & poor quality
Problems from early on, under 10k. Brakes failed, transmission went, rust everywhere, power sliding doors fail, etc. etc. Such a cheaply built vehicle

Bought my 2010 Town and Country with 4.0 engine. Window sticker says I'll get 17-25mpg. So far I have around 600 miles put on it. I drive pretty conservatively in a suburb area with not a lot of stop and go traffic. Very disappointed that I average 15.5 mpg. What happened to 17-25mpg? Almost not worth getting rid of my Hummer. Chrysler should be sued for false advertising.
Love it!
Just purchased this van and I love it so far. We traded in a 2007 odyssey that was very over rated in my opinion. This van has a nicer look, it rides smoother and has every thing we need. The price was great, I can see keeping this van a while.
2010 Chrysler T&C, better than ever
We shopped hard for our third minivan, looking at all brands and finding they didn't balance value and features as well as Chrysler. So, this is our third Chrysler/Dodge minivan since 1992, and the best yet. We have three children who come fully equipped with friends, pets, etc., and as they are learning to drive we wanted a safe easy-to-drive ride for them to learn on. The stellar safety record outshone others, especially Toyota, which was far more expensive for a less capable vehicle. We've taken three roadtrips so far and the van exceeds our expectations each time. Biggest surprise: our gas mileage can hit 28 mpg on the highway!! The avg is 26 highway, 22 in the city. And very quiet ride.
Dissapointed
I turned in a 2008 town and counrty , because of electrical problems with the hope that the 2010 model was new and improved . Needless to say I was mistaken. I bought my 2010 town and country less than a month ago and have had it in the shop two times now. I still today do not have it back from them. The first time I had a problem was at 900 miles I was driving and went to push the gas after being stoped at a light and the car would not move . I had to have a tow truck come get my car . The second time this happened was only 4 days later and again my car would not go , I am told it is the solinoid. My first van was junk and this one is even worse, buyer beware !! Chryslers service is bad!
We bought this vehicle new
