Used 2015 Chrysler Town and Country Minivan Consumer Reviews

The car clearly gets little love from the company

Rented the car for 3-4 days. Town and country is not a bad car, but notwithstanding some sprinkling of some technological features, it feels dated in many aspects. The interior materials are so-so, the thin rear passenger seats are amusing. But the biggest surprise to me was the transmission used on that car. Even the AT transmission in 2009 Toyota Camry is more advanced and intelligent then in this "luxury" van. The transmission has no hill grade logic at all. Going up or down the hill or during the times when engine braking would be beneficial it acts as all the old typical AT transmission do - it either doesn't do anything at all or constantly hunts gears. The engine power is adequate however and the ride is pleasantly comfortable and smooth.

Fun and sporty mini van!

Bought this as a utility family hauler to supplement a 4 wheel drive suv and an econo car. I have to say we are more than just happy with our TC. The S model handles well and is a joy to drive in traffic. The only complaints we have is that in the summer in Las vegas, we wish the AC worked better. Of course its all relative because it works better than most but not as good as our previous Honda Pilot. Update after several more months. Van was involved in a 3 car accident when stationary. Other passenger from the other 2 cars that hit at a high-speed intersection all had to be transported. My family and I were struck by one of the careening cars at approx 50mph. The van held up to the front impact like a vault. My children wife and I unaffected. The van totalled but it was great up until then. Thanks Chrysler!

The brakes outlasted the transmission

With less than 55k miles and 4.5 years old, the transmission just died on me while I was on the road. It had always made a grinding noise underneath which got worse right before it died. Chrysler fixed it under powertrain warranty. I was still out about $1000 due to this happening on a vacation. Extra expense to get home and to go back to retrieve it 2 week add later. Chrysler gave me a small amount back - around 200 of it. There was a recall for the exact same problem that they fixed for cars manufactured later in the year. The grinding noise came back a few weeks later. No longer feeling safe in it, I traded it for a Honda Pilot. This is after driving these vans for 25 years. My previous 3 cars had been 2 voyagers and another Town & Country. A lesser issue was that the 2015 T&C did not have as smooth a ride and was more difficult to park than the previous ones I had owned. The prior was a 2006 model. But it had good brake pads. I traded it in with the originals!

Company car, putting lots of miles on it.

I was supplied this vehicle from the company I work for. I was extremely happy about this because I was driving a 2006 Dodge caravan at the time. When I switched to the new Town and Country I noticed such an improvement in luxury and technology. The immediate negative I noticed is how the dodge had a more consistent transmission. The town and country had weird hiccups when changing gears. It wasnt a huge issue but it was noticeable. I drive a lot for work so the audio was a big improvement for me. My personal car has bluetooth and a decent sound system. This van is actually pretty sweet when it comes to listening to music and podcasts. The handsfree system is very convenient. The DVD seems to work well....I do not use this very much. The room inside is what you would expect from vans now a days. Doors open smoothly, and the seats in the rear fold up pretty easy. Overall, pretty cool van.

Lemon

Chrysler denies that there is a mechanical defect with my 2015 Town and Country van. On two separate occasions the van accelerated on it's own, the first time crashing into the brick wall of the bank, the second time, approximately a year later, it rammed into a concrete porch. I reported both incidents to the NHTSD. There are multiple stories of similar incidents with this make and model. The transmission frequently does not shift smoothly at all. I literally hate this van!! Chrysler Corp. should be honest and admit when there is a defect with their product!!

Mad mom in mini van

Dear Chrysler, I appreciate that you are trying to help the local dealership/mechanic shop (I can only hope this is true) to get post sale business for certain mechanical issues.... As a preface, over the last 20 years I have gone from owning two low rider trucks, a custom modified turbo charged honda civic and most recently, a 1997 BMW Z3 2.8 L Convertible (post mini van). I have also always been able to pride myself on being able to change my oil, fix things within my ability (most recently, fixing all the wiring in my BMW center console) ect.. I rarely, if ever admit defeat (unless necessary and above my ability). I am also not embarrassed to asked for help either. Until today, I thought my most embarrassing car life moments was going from cool ride, to fast ride, to "it's safe" and purchasing the mini van. I tried to disguise my shame by purchasing the 2015 Chrysler Town and Country Mini van that boasts leather seats, store away seating and an Entertainment System (do you know how much we paid back in the day to have our show cars upgraded with that?) 😂 However, today I was embarrassingly defeated after trying to check (and potentially having to refill) my transmission fluid for the reason of getting the lovely P0704 code, literally 5,000 after the factory power train warranty expired. Unfortunately your corporation made the decision that the only qualified dealership employees are capable of checking (and finding the damn location of the transmission fluid spout) and us “DIYers” are second class and are likely thought to not have the ability to find our own shoe strings, let alone to be able to tie them. Furthermore, is extremely disappointing that you feel its necessary to make something that is standard maintenance (like an oil change) so ridiculously complicated.... 😂🤦‍♀️ Best Regards, A mad mom in a mini van

Best vehicle I've ever owned

Very roomy for people and pets of all sizes and ages; easy to drive and park with excellent visability; stow and go seats including 2nd row is the only way I'd want a van, they stow and lift back up locking in to place easily. I can't imagine having to remove seats and store them, I have been away from home and changed seating arrangements many, many times. I've camped in it, hauled furniture in it and its never disapointed me. I've had mine 5 years now, it has 90k miles.

Probably over a year ago a piece of trim right next to the driver's side window started flapping while I was driving...a tiny piece plastic had broken off and the only way to fix it would be to take it to a body shop. Just the other day the same piece on the other side of the van broke off!! I do not plan to ever own a Chrysler van again! I hope to get rid of it soon!

Trans pump is bad

After 83,k miles my 2015 Chrysler's Town and Country's check engine light came on and it's a faulty transmission pump. The cost to repair is $5k and my mechanic said there was a trans pump recall on the make and model and same year. However, Chrysler said my particular car was not listed in the recall due to where it was manufactured and so they refuse to fix it or help with the cost. Now I'm fighting this and filed a complaint with the NHTSA. .

If you are considering buying, Not worth the buy

My friend and I rented this van for a week long road trip to California from the Midwest. The van was very comfortable. The reason I am giving it a 2 star is because of 2 specific reasons. Number one, is sometimes it didn't switch gears so smoothly. It only had 40,000 miles on it. I made the mistake of buying a car that doesn't switch gears smoothly. And believe me, if it's doing this at 40,000 miles it's not worth your money. Number 2 is because my friends fiancé happened to be road tripping with the same exact minivan (similar mileage) to Florida with some buddies and their alternator blew on the way back. We loved the stow and go seats though! As well as the technology in the van, although I didn't love the way the steering wheel technological controls were set up. Overall, it lasted us on our trip and was a smooth ride for the most part but didn't last her fiancé and his buddies so I don't think it's an investment to choose. I regularly drive a new Toyota Sienna for work and I would think the average person would get the better end of a deal with that or a Honda Odyssey (which my parents used to own).

2015 Used with almost 40K but Certified!!!

This is my 3rd minivan. 1st I traded for the second which was totaled on an accident. And now this one! Used but Certified. The way to go. Covered up until 100K. These minivans are a keeper. So bad I lost my 2nd one. Durable and reliable. Price for a used one should have been a little less but I'm still happy with my purchase.

Versatile Van

Functional. Roomy. Versatile. Just the right size. Nice features without too much technology. Could double as a RV/camper in an emergency. Great for vacations and road trips. Gives one a sense of safety. Would highly recommend.

Town and Country Van

Folding seats a great feature. Ride is smooth and safe. Third row seats fold under floor to maximize storage. Power door locking mechanism for the passenger side sliding door has failed for the second time in 3 years. Removal and replacement takes about 6 hours working from the inside of the van. Transmission failure at 80k miles. Recall from 2015-2016 for transmission pump failure but my VIN not covered (yet). If you are looking at these vans, please check for the rebuilt transmission or expect to spend about 5k for the replacement.

Bought it used in 2021 with 112,000 miles!

Love it for how it handles and what it can carry! Loaded a digital piano in AZ using the two sliding doors, and kept the weight loaded on center, with no issues getting my dad's piano to NC!

Best Vehicle Ever

I bought this van new in October 2015 and have now have 22,500 trouble free miles on it. I get 19 mpg around town and 25 mpg on the interstate. Vehicle is very comfortable and has plenty of space for anything you can imagine. This van has cross path detection which is my most favorite feature when backing out from parking spaces. Also blind spot warning indicators on the mirrors along with an audible warning also. Stow and go seating allows the middle captain seats and the rear bench seat to totally be folded into the floor for cargo area convenience. Front and middle seats along with the steering wheel are heated. All in all a great van with lots of standard features. ** I now have 35,650 miles on this van and it is still trouble free. The tires that came on the van are Michelin Energy Savers and it won't be long before I need to replace them. As of 4/23/23 I no longer own this vehicle.. That being said, I will say that it has been a reliable and a very adaptive vehicle. I only had driven 55,000 miles at the time of trade and have not had any issues. I hope that the next owner has many enjoyable and trouble free miles with this van.

OK. Leased new.

An OK car. Avid pickup guy, but almost always had a cap on the bed except when towing our fifth-wheel... This is our second; first a 2006. This is my 'new' pick-up with a permanent cap. Like the fold-away seats, and especially the heated steering wheel (Michigan winters). Cruise control does NOT hold well in grades but will down shift and catch up. Annoying, but not a deal breaker. Mileage not what was advertised, but much better than the pickups. Over-all, decent; they don't offer it any longer so cannot opt to buy a "newer-improved model." Am considering purchasing it after lease. Asked for a trim style below: unknown not Limited, but has many features, leather, tow package, etc. Probably next step down from limited. Chose Touring L whatever that is. Nothing on my car designates. Most frustrating: no easy way to tie tailgait when carrying/hauling items or lumber longer than 8'. Needs an eyehook or slot inside rear gate to affix a bungie strap. Considering drilling and threading an eye-hook.

Chrysler

The Chrysler town and country is a Great Van it a little more better than Honda I had a Honda and it was ok but Not as great as Chrysler it has more features than Honda and I would buy a other Chrysler.

RUN

We bought our chrysler town and country june 2015 and it has been nothing but a piece of junk dont wait your money ..we have had it in and out of the garage since we have had it the engine light is on and when put on the diagnostic it say nothing wrong but something is wrong or the engine light wont stay on..but ours is a 2015..

Still love Chrysler minivans!

I’m now driving a new and improved Chrysler minivan, a 2019 Pacifica. This my sixth one. First brand new one. They all performed beautifully. Traded up in years is the main reason we even traded.

D.O.A.

I bought a used 15 T & C mini van less than a year ago and within the first 6 months the sensor(s) on the side to tell you there is a vehicle is in your blind spot went out.. I researched the problem to find out the fix was huge money so I elected not to have it fixed until money was available, I turned that option off so it wouldn't keep beeping and flashing. Ever since I turned it off the car has had electrical problems where the battery is drained and the car is DOA. I have had it at the dealership this will be the 4th time. The first time they had the van they replaced the battery with a HD one and replaced the brakes (front) and sent me on my way (towed in, 5 days without car). 2nd time, van DOA towed in (3 days) replaced battery and said the battery was bad. 3rd time, towed in, the chyrsler concierge service put a charge on it while they towed it in and the dealership couldn't find anything wrong with it..... I don't think I have the Lemon law option on this problem since it's used and there are only 58,000 miles on it. I has to go back yet again. Help

T&C L

Edmunds really helped a lot. I have been doing research and knew what I wanted. Town Nd Country...stow n go!!! By using Edmunds.com and other sites helped me locate the vehicle and I knew the T&C were limited. I ended up going to a dealership. They did not have my exterior color I wanted.. I was tod the Vice Presidents of something wife has been using. Well, learned my lesson. She put 4300 miles on it. I tried really really hard to get the price lowered, but my salesperson said that's it, can't go any lower. I should have listened to my gut, but I didn't . Got the T&C that VP wife had. Very very disappointed in what I saw. A used vehicle....scratches in the interior .. This was and will be my very first new vehicle .. It did not even smell new :(.... Salesperson and workers did A POOR job making the van look new:( ... 2 weeks later, we had to get stuff at Home Depot...did the stow n go ... Found sand...under the carpeting.... I am so so so very disappointed in what i choose :(...should have bought a new one.. Van runs awesome, the kids love the dvd and heated seats...all the good stuff... I did not understand the middle consult unit...salesperson went too fast..and being a stay at home mom, I have NO time to sit and watch a video about that..... Price was high....my Mother would have never approved for a vehicle that almost was the same price as my first house.... But if you have the money.....buy this T&C L.... Completely new...with plastic covers all over the inside!!!!!

The platinum is at least my best so far

Ride is not so smooth, it's quiet inside nice installation, power is good for quick highway passing, not so good in take offs but the torque pull have you back your seat though. The options is loaded and can be impressive when you get know how to use it well. Luxury looking interior with leather , chrome and suede . The good improvement in stow-n-go seats but more better in the Pacifica model . Oh yeah! The entertainment options with Blu Ray keeps you up to date since mostly all DVDS sold is Blu Ray format and better with HD .the video screen should have been at least 9 inches or better but is still just okay ,the music and movies sound great with the surround sound it's just a nice living room feel in a minivan. Used for light hauling be careful to no scratch the interior , camping , grocery shopping ,, taxi driving , pulling trailers , long trips with 6 passengers enjoying video games, Blu-ray videos, laptops connection we with HDMI , and keeping there gadets charged with USB. Or just read a book with the bright reading lights for every seat . And lots a luggage room even ontop with roof rack, and storage in second row floors where seats fold in when not in use. Oh oh! I almost forgot about safety options there are great only if you can learn to kinda TRUST the TECHNOLOGY even with routine maintenance . It's alot of options to maintain. If it's too much then just the simple options is best . But I will give these options a try and so far so good.
