cheap front wheel roters
have a 2013 town and country with 17,500 miles on it. I live in Colorado and of course went to the mountains last weekend, scariest ride of my life. had my wife, daughter and two grandchildren in the car, going down a steep grade when I pressed on the brakes the car shook like it was going to break in too, more times I put on the brakes the more it shook. checking with brake specialist later it appears the front rotors don't dissipate heat as fast as they should, appears Chrysler didn't put in higher grade rotors in case you every went on steep mountain roads, saved many millions but hoped nobody would have a bad situation like I did, wont ever buy another Chrysler product.
Steer Way Clear of This Lemon
I thought I'd do some poor worker in Detroit a favor by buying American. I convinced my very skeptical wife that a brand new 2013 T&C had to be decent automobile and that we'd be saving several thousand dollars by not buying Japanese. I cannot tell you how much I regret this. This vehicle is an absolute lemon. The transmission is worse than anything I've every driven, it clunks into drive & slingshots forward with the slightest acceleration. Chrysler is well aware of the issues, but refuses to fix. The low tire pressure light will not turn off even though nothing is wrong and the dash board's developed quite a rattle. Dealer wants to charge a hefty diagnostic fee to remedy. Update: Was driving car with children to dance recital when van somehow goes into low power mode. Low power mode means it only runs about 10 miles per hour and has no acceleration. Luckily we were in the right lane of a very busy/fast road and were able to pull over and call for tow truck. I had to force it into park at which time it made a huge banging noise. Dealer finally took a real look at it after having it towed to them. Chrysler finally did something and agreed to replace the transmission controller and the problems seemed to go away, but I was thoroughly fed up with it by this time. Finally sold it to a dealer for $16,500 and bought a slightly used Japanese minivan from one of the leading manufacturers. By the way, nobody wants to buy a used T&C for anywhere near Kelly blue book value.

Great family vehicle!
I have no complaints about my 2013 Chyrsler Town and Country outside of speed of acceleration. I traded a Jeep Cherokee in for the Town and Country to fit my growing family of 6. The power of acceleration is much different but it is a different vehicle type. Not sure if this is with all types of Chyrsler Town and Country but I would love to have that powerful Jeep engine in a Town and Country package. 4 stars is only because there is no 4.5 star option.

Vacation 2017
I bought the van with vacation in mind I t has worked very well for that. Has been very useful since then. The Town and Country is still very comfortable and great to take long trips in.

Don't buy it
I had a 2007 Chrysler Mini Van that was running fine with few to No issues. Gave it to my son and we bought a 2013 loaded Chyrsler T/C with 50K miles. Bad decision. The van is lighter so it bobs over the bumps up and down and has a tweaky bouncing ride up front. Then tranmission lines leaked and could not be tightened to they had to be replaced at 70K. The 6 speed transmission always wants to jump up to the next gear with the lightest touch on the gas. I am always shifting it down and holding it in that gear so it won't keep upshifting. The battery died at 60K. One key fob died. The computer board died so every electronic device in the car plus the wipers and AC was on and off hundreds of times per day until we got it to the dealer. That fix cost $700. So this was our 3rd Chrysler Mini Van and definitely our last.
