The engineering on this car is amazingly poor. They threw features on the car so they could include them in the brochure, but the engineering / fabrication of the car is so substandard that you'll have this car in the shop every month. - the check engine light will come on and stay on, and the dealer will bang you for 100+ dollars every time you take it in. For all the 'sophistication' of this vehicle, it cannot show you the interpretation of the check-engine codes. Don't forget to add the 100+ dollars every month, plus your time, plus the non-use of the vehicle into the cost of the car. - car sometimes will not start (chip malfunction) ... be prepared to have it towed every so often. And don't take it on a trip ... it's not trustworthy. - the blind spot warning system pings continuously for no reason. You can have the blind-spot detection turned off, but then why did they include such an untested system in this vehicle. Wasted dollars on purchasing this extra feature and on the many, many, many, many times we had this seemingly repaired only to have it malfunction a week after getting it back. Painful. Absolutely painful. - there have been a HUGE number of recalls, many of which involve safety features If you are a lonely person and want to count the service people amongyour closest friends, by all means purchase this vehicle. If you are a thrill-seeker and want to drive a car which could lose power at any moment while you are driving in heavy traffic, by all means purchase this vehicle. If you have extra money and time and you enjoy paying top dollar for a substandard vehicle, by all means purchase this vehicle.

The knee area around the two bucket front seats is limited, and the power seats don't travel all that much. The second row bucket seats that are part of Stow-N-Go are thinly padded as you might expect. The storage wells beneath are quite useful. The all black interior with its leather seats looks great and stays cleaner than one would imagine. I would buy it again if the front seat area were a bit larger.

Disaster from the start. Bought the van for my wife. She wanted all the bells and whistles. Ended up with sirens in addition to those whistles. Faulty door switch caused the car to go up in flames when it was a year old. Chrysler tried to do everything they could to shift blame but ended up doing a recall on all the Town and Countrys. They had a poorly designed switch. Next came the cylinder and another recall. At least the fire department did not have to be called this time. Not the van is going on six years old and there is a drive train issue... the drive train warranty is good for five. Overall quality of the car is poor. The appearance and features were very nice and it is what my wife wanted but now she is driving a new car and I am stuck driving the van until I get something else. Since then the transmission flex plate needed replaced and the car has under a hundred thousand miles. Shocking a major car company produced such a piece of unreliable garbage. Van sitting in driveway undrivable currently..

Had to trade my beautiful black Hemi Jeep Commander for a van. Could not be happier with the T &C from Chrysler. Kids love all the DVD players,headsets and room inside. Great value, lots of power and "classy" chrome accents. If you have to grow up and have to buy "the family car" this is the one for you.
Fun piece of Machinery

I am the second owner of this 2012 T&C. I bought it with 118500 miles on it. It was in good shape but needed some TLC. The engine was misfiring on the #2 and #6 cylinder. Turns out that the head was defective from the manufacturer. They extended the warranty on that part to 150000 miles and since have replaced the head, no longer having misfire issues. The 3.6 Pentastar motor is a powerhouse except when turning right or left like when entering a freeway or taking off from not a quite complete stop like when the red light changes to green just before you stop. The engine idles rough and I will have that looked at. The transmission was shifting poorly due to the fact the previous owner never did a service on it. I had the trans serviced and it is working better but still takes awhile to shift down from the passing gear. I drive for a Rideshare Co. and put 350 miles on it a day, 5 days a week. Gas mileage couldn't be better at about 23 mpg in the city. I get great comments from my passengers about the seats being comfortable and the amount of leg room they have. Everyone loves to watch Anchorman on the DVD player. they think the electric sliding doors are cool too. Over all, this is my vehicle. It is in very good shape. Your vehicle may operate differently and have other issues. Any car purchased will have issues but for families this car is absolutely reliable as long as it is maintained.
