I bought my T&C for $8,000 with 80,000 miles. It's silver with gray leather in beautiful shape. I replaced fog lamps, headlights, and windshield to make it look new. It now has 140,000 miles on it. Had a $300 repair on transmission, new brakes, battery, tires, and driver's side power window switch. It's reliable, quiet, and comfortable. Ice cold three zone a/c works great. I'm surprised at poor reviews. Mine still drives like new and looks great inside and out. I guess I got lucky. I will keep it until it turns to dust. My neighbors have a 1999 T&C that they beat the stuffings out of daily, and it still runs like a champ with 240,000 miles on it.

We just got this van in January of 2011. It had been owned by my husbands brother since it was new and has only 37,000 miles on it. For most of it's 10 years of life, it sat in a mountain town of Colorado. Nevertheless, when we got it, the back tailgate door would not open automatically and the side doors work sporadically. The main cup holder in the front is broken, and 2 days ago the AC started hissing and now has stopped working entirely. I am taking it in to the mechanic tomorrow, and hope it just needs recharging. How could the compressor be shot at only 37,000 miles? My husband and I have been hit hard by the recession, so we hope to be able to get many miles out of this van.

Since I have owned this van . Which now has 120.000 miles on it . I have been satisified with performance, however, have been somewhat plagued with problem's . Sliding right power door quit, , had to replace entire mechanism cost 400.00 had to replace air conditioning check valve cost 80.00 water pump, , 150.00, ignition switch 200.00 now fuel injector problem, which will no doubt cost me a fortune to repair , ,heated seat's inoperative, scared to ask how much to fix that problem. I believe most vehicles today are designed to operate for only 100,000 miles before problem's start to mount.

Love it

I have over 100,000 miles on my van and I have never had to take it to the shop for more than simple oil changes, new battery, etc- I love Lexi (I named her) and I wouldn't trade her for anything. We travel so much too and have never once had any issues.

I love my town & country- super comfortable especially since I have had 3 back surgeries, nice features etc. but this car is ALWAYS in the shop for everything under the sun. No more Chryslers for me, ever :( If they are going to make cars that need a computer to diagnose problems then don't charge us $70 every time we go in for problems YOU caused due to poor design and workmanship.

We really have enjoyed the Chrysler Mini vans we have owned. This is our third one and we have enjoyed the use and comfort of ride. We bought this unit new and now have 120,000 miles on it. The blower motor quit this winter for $200.00 repair. The heated seat was replaced under warranty on a as a recall as was the noisy power steering reservoir. We will however take a much more educated look at other models when we are ready to buy a new vehicle.

We purchased in 2001, and now have almost 160,000 miles on the van. I have not had any major problems (I have had to replace the ignition tumbler, and the Driver side window motor, and the volume knob is very touchy now) Its been very reliable. Built in Car seat is one of the best features of the van. Leather had held up great (My 2002 Accords leather is cracking)

With less than 40,000 miles on it, it's at the dealership having a re- built transmission put in it. Last fall we had to have it towed because a CV joint blew out in the front drivers wheel. Before that, we had to have a new ignition switch installed. A couple of years ago I called to see about having the sliding door motors replaced under warranty since it had less than 20,000 miles on it and Chrysler was very rude and took no responsiblity. I've had four Dodge caravans as company cars and have had major problems with each one of them. The dealership would make fun of "my haunted" vans. I will never buy a Chrysler vehicle again, but maybe I won't have to worry about it...bankrupt!!!:)

These are the best riding vans on the road. Yes, there are issues with parts such as a/c, sway bar bushings transmissions. However, we have owned these since 1987 & we have never had to replace a timing belt (They have chains), never any exhaust work, never any CV boots. Most parts are pretty reasonable too. Brakes jobs run about $200 per axle, whereas they cost about $700 on our Previa! It is critical to do preventive maintenance on these. Use snthetic transmission fluid & change it every 50K. Change your fuel filter too. Plugs, antifreeze & water pump should be done at 80K. We did our first brakes job at 78K & we sold it with 157K & the brakes were still good. Overall, a great value!

Not too bad, really

Got 98K on it. So far other than routine maintenance it has averaged out to $120 per year for extraneus circumstances. Comfy and reliable if you pay attention to the basic maintenance. Cam position sensor went flakey in 2008 along with a fuel rail leak and a corroded fuel filler neck. Otherwise- A good Soccer Mom ride. No signs of any electricals failing, as some of the other posts reported. Local dealer was pretty good with service. Makes a big difference. A lot better product than the 1995 was. Find a good shop where they will advise you of potential isues and this thing will run forever.

We bought this beautiful van used with 58,000 miles. We were so impressed with the features, the CD changer, the sound, the 3-zone climate control, the leather seats, how it handled. The driver's side window motor was replaced at 100,000 miles, and the passenger seat heater fixed when we first got it, but other than that, it has been a wonderfully comfortable, really nice looking, and totally reliable van that we have been very happy and thrilled to own. Unfortunately it was totalled at 134,000 miles, but the interior remained in tact and only minor injuries were sustained because of the seat and headrest and also due to the van's durability. We are now looking for another Limited van.

120k and still OK

2001 van purchase new (vs. slightly used cars from past - Toyota, Nissan, VW all of which were GREAT!). Was very surprised to have first 25 shop visits under 25,000 miles. Chrysler opted to refuse replacement as they were not repeat problems, rather new ones each time. Both front power windows out - more than once, A/C repairs and finally replaced at 35K, both power sliding doors out and motors replace - more than once, balancing bar out, weather stripping came off front windshield, transmission repaired twice (before 60,000 miles... Total 45 times in shop and 73,000 miles to date. Would not recommend. Downtime much too costly and without car each repair.

I hate this van. Purchased it 6 months ago with 56k on it. Have put 6k miles on it, and the list of repairs have been unbelievable. Whole new rack and pinion, check engine light keeps coming on, ABS light on, passenger window works sometimes, the electrical system is a joke, the tranny is junk, the doors work whenever. On two occasions my children could have been injured, once when the brake caliper locked up causing smoke and almost a fire, the second time the steering went out and I had to fight to keep it on the road and not into a hillside. My advice, RUN away now. DO yourself a favor and by foreign. Don't buy this van. It's the most expensive hunk of junk I've ever owned.

Never ever buy another chrysler product

Purchased it with 30k miles on it. Drove it to 114k miles, all highway cruising miles. Transmission broke 1000 miles from home. Bought a rebuilt transmission. Drove 2 days, both new speed sensors went out. Replaced both. 2000 miles later, transmission breaks again, stranded 200 miles from home. Piece of JUNK!!! No wonder it's way cheaper then a Toyota or Honda.........

Well I like the van a lot, It has a very smooth ride, and handles very good. Good mileage for a van ( 26 mpg hwy) The only thing that I might not care for is getting in the thing. I have neck and back problems, so I hit my head about 95% of the time getting in the van and I am only 5 foot 7 inches tall. Other than that the dual climate is great. The sound system could have a bit more power behind it as well now that I think of it! But it handles well and drives nice.

Bought when pregnant with #2 and outgrew our Volvo. Wanted luxury and space. Have spent a fortune on repairs! Over $900 on a/c repairs. Transmission required over $1700 worth of repairs before 70,000 miles. Both power window and power liftgate stopped working. Both seat heaters stopped working. We are called frequent fliers at our service station. I contacted Chrysler about my disatisfaction with their product and they don't care. I will never buy another one.

I bought this car new. Have had no engine/powertrain problems. I have had to replace the motors in one side door and the rear door at 92,000 miles. This is the only problem I have had with the car.

Overall it has not been a lemon but it has had several issues that has prompted us to consider other brands in the future. Front end was replaced at around 85000 and the trans. went at about 92000 and 115000. Service engine light stays on for no reason(checked and turned off twice)with no issues discovered. Stop,turn and taillights blow at an unbelievable rate. Rear A/C not impressive. I don't like the feel of the drivers seat in any position but my wife is comfy with it. Maybe it's a guy thing. Very poor fuel mileage.(my '99 f-150 5.4L gets at least as good)If not for the need as a people mover, I would not have it.

80k and OK

We bought our '01 Limited new and now have nearly 80k on it. We've had to the dealer for different things over the years from a drivers window that wouldn't go up to seat heaters not working to sliding doors not working correctly. Not long ago we started having power steering pump problems. No real alignment or real tranny problems, A/C & heater work well. All in all a good vehicle although we're looking to replace it now and I don't think I'll go Chrysler again. Currently getting a very poor 14.9 city and 20+ highway.

We have been happy with our van. I must admit to being resistant to buying a minivan because of the "uncool" factor. But, the styling of the T&C is aggressive, and with the 3.8L engine, it has enough power to climb hills or tow if needed. This van has more legroom and overall space than the competitors. Comfort is good, and cup holders and "cubbies" are plentiful for the kids stuff, which helps on long road trips. Visibility is excellent, and the handling is impressive for such a large vehicle. I recommend getting a warranty, however. We had the A/C compressor and condenser go out at different times, which were covered. That paid for the warranty. No other major problems.

This van has never let me down. By that I mean that it has run well and consistently since I purchased it. I have traveled the entire state of California, once in a white out snow storm and this vehicle kept on track. The dealership where I have it serviced has been ethical and helpful each and every time I have taken it in. The window motor on the driver side went out on warranty and it was fixed right away. I love this car. it has very good road manners, especially in busy So. California where there is a lot of stop and go traffic. Easy to drive. Easy to get in and out of, too.

This Van has a flawed transmission design. It failed me at 95,000 miles. Such poor quality and Chrysler would not help pay. I would never buy Chrysler again. This car is a big mistake. Do not be fooled. Electric doors will go bad for sure. All of mine including the back hatch have failed twice. Buy Honda or Toyota, your money is too precious to waste. Very disappointed. Quality if very poor. AC has went out too. Run.

My first year of ownership the Driver's side window regulator went bad twice and then the passenger side regulator went out. I have had the transmission overhauled, the oil pan gasket has been replaced and my van still leaks oil. The engine was overhauled. The electrical system went out, my speedometer stopped working and all engine lights came on. I had a Caliper replaced and now the electrical system is broken again. I no longer have a warranty on the van, mind you I had and extended warranty. The van only has 87,000 miles on it, mostly highway. Thank God for my daily driver a Toyota Camry. Please never buy this vehicle!

Bought the car for the smooth ride, looks, interior kid friendliness. Ended up with a car whose power doors have never worked properly (they can't find the problem). Replaced too many things to remember; rear wiper motor, seat heating units, A/C, radio, computer...on and on. Wipers/blinkers still don't work properly. You signal left and sometimes nothing happens and sometimes it blinks to the right. Wipers hit or miss wether they will even come on. Driver's window goes down and sometimes doesn't come up. Try that at the drive thru on a rainy day.This car was in the shop at least once a month in the first 12 mos of ownership. Still going on today, just on my $ now.

You cannot rely on this car because I have had electrical problems that started within the first year of owning it. first it started with the a/c /heat. It would switch from a/c to heat. then the radio started acting up, now somtimes it does not even start for me. And when I am driving all the warning lights will all of a sudden go on and then off, then the speedometer will stop working along with the other gauges. And it will make weird clicking noises from the front panel. My suggestion is not to buy on of these cars!

Bought with 16,000 mi. In 5 yrs had AC and front end worked on. Been through one set of tires in 80,000 mi. Carried 5 passengers and gear for 2 week trips with nothing on the roof and decent handling. Poorest performers are the front seat heaters but not a big downside with 6 weeks of winter. Stereo is great, tracks solid on highway, very quiet/min. road noise compared to rental Dodge van. This is my third Chrysler van and the value is better than pricier Honda/Nissan with forever $300-500. maintenance every 12-18 months. I have had 3 Honda's also.

I took the bait, and used my Employee discount to buy this thing. I would have been much better off paying sticker price for a Honda or Toyota. I have had this in the shop at least 25 times. Luckily, I had sense enough to get the extended warranty. The first things to go were the driver's window regulator, and rear power latch. I had the side power door motor replaced 3 times within 1-1/2 months. The transmission was rebuilt at 65,000 miles, and hasn't been right since then. I'm waiting for the trannie to fall out at any time. I had to replace the entire A/C system. The big 3 need to learn not to let their customers complete THEIR vehicle development!

The good news is that we haven't had any problems with the motor or transmission. Maybe Chrysler has figured out how to make the basics reliable. The bad news is that electrical problems started early and have become very expensive post-warranty. The heated seats took 3 visits before they got working (very slowly relative to the ones in competitors cars). Auto doors, auto thermostat, A/C, fans, instrument cluster -- all these items have had trouble. I suspect a base Dodge Caravan may run well, but once you add the goodies you can expect frequent visits to the shop. This was our second and last Chrysler, and given similar problems with our current Chevy, we're done with American cars.

We've owned this vehicle since new. I always took very good care of the car. My wife drove it literally to and from school for kids and soccer games. 84,500 miles and the transmission went with very little warning. We were going on a family outing and I felt hesitation, thought it was my imagination, then a more predominant hesitation. I then began pulling off to side of rode and a CLUNK. Car wouldn't move. $3000 later and I've got problems. Never saw a trans go so fast in my entire life. I just paid the car off too. Overall we love the vehicle but i'm not sure if I'm happy with this Trans situation. I've been hearing other Trans problems at low mileage too of these vehicles.

Nice comfort but lousy quality in the mechanical systems. Premature front end issues with stablizer bars, steering and alternator. Overall, one of the worst in reliability. Other minor problems include a broken blinker, broken rear hatchback door and the AC drain plug was always getting clogged making for a musty odor in the cabin. It's time to take my money and look at foreign alternatives. I've spent too much money repairing US made cars.

This was our 4th chrysler/dodge minivan, and by far the worst. We have a file over an inch thick of repair work done on it. Transmission, sliding door, air-conditioner, struts, warped roters, seat heaters went out twice on both front seats, etc. The list is too long. We loved our mini-van in the beginning, but we soon realized we had an undependable vehicle on our hands. We sold it and bought a Toyota Highlander. The lack of 7/70 on the transmission was the main reason. We had always had it and were unaware it wasn't offered on the 2001 model - until our transmission began acting up just after 36,000 miles!

This car has been towed 6 times in 3 years. The battery needs to be replaced every 20,000 miles. We have had the radio replaced, AC problems, and window electrical problems. Recently, while driving with my 3 kids, the car just stopped in the middle of the road. Since then, the power control module was replaced, only to have the car break down again. Paid $300 to have it towed back to a local dealer since we were on vacation at the time. Just hope to get it running long enough to trade it in. Will never buy another chrysler....ever! It is a good thing my children and I were never driving on the highway when the car suddently died in the middle of the road - on 2 occasions.

Would buy again

My wife picked out this van 3 years ago for its looks. A year ago we bought her a Sebring convertible and I inherited the van when my Blazer croaked. The van has been great. It has plenty of power, a very comfortable ride, looks good, and has been dependable. I've had to replace the alternator and belt tension pulley but that's it mechanically. It performs and rides noticeably better with Michelins. My only complaint would be the weather stripping on the sliding doors pops off regularly and some weather stripping on the windshield comes loose. As for gas mileage, I am getting 19mpg in mixed driving.

Small Engine does have slow acceleration but at does get 26-mpg highway, great for a large auto. Braking is excellent and with anti lock brakes have helped me miss hitting deer.

54K miles. Our family loves this van. 22mpg avg. usually 24-26 avg on trips. Best was 29 & 30mpg(nonstop-interstate at 70mph or less). Only two minor troubles,one covered under warranty (door switch). Vacuum leak was out of warranty,was less than $70 to repair (cause I think was taking a back road or cow path to Hell's Canyon in Utah)

Ever since we purchased this car we havce had nothing but problems. The car has been back to the dealership multiple times but the standard reply is they can't find the problem. To date the problems we have had include: broken front suspension, a/c compressor seized up, drivers courtesy light does not work, leak in front passenger compartment. This is the first and last Chrysler we will ever buy.

We had a Plymouth Van some years ago and replaced the trans twice. With this top-o-the-line van the following has failed: air conditioning, rear shock, driver window, seat heaters, brake discs, slider door alignment, rear door lift, and now....the transmission (which is a replacement in such demand that it is on back order!!). So far I have over $5000 in repairs. When will Chrysler get their transmission problem fixed? LEMON!!

Very comfortable ride but something is causing the front-end suspension to continually need replacement parts. We have replaced the tie rods, bushings, and sway bar links several times. And this vehicle spends its' life on paved roads. Nobody at Chrysler seems interested in finding the cause. I would not buy this car knowing what I know now.

Comfortable and good to drive - major failures are abundant. 72,000 miles and the engine's being replaced-broken bearing and crankshaft. Dealer agress it should not have happened, but tough on me. AC condenser went 5 months ago. The torque converter had to be replaced at about 60000 miles. Chrysler's response? "Sorry - you're beyond the warranty period."

Problems, Problems, and more problems. (1) The sliding rear passager side door only works about 50% of the time. Carried to local dealer several times but could not fix. (2) Had to have rear lift gate repaired. (3) AC leaked and had to have the carpet replaced. (4) Airbag light would come on for no reason-dealer fixed (5) Transmission went out at 45,000 miles. 2001 T&C transmissions are only covered for 36,000 miles, unlike the 2002 and up which are covered for 7 yr 70,000 miles. Called Chrysler and they agreed to pay half of the $2,500 cost. I would not purchase this year model. Paid more for T&C and got less.

Very happy with the van. Really love the feel especially on long trips. Had a few problems - rear lift gate accuator, alternator, brakes needed to be replaced. All work done under warrenty (except brakes). Alternator went bad at 33,000 mi.,is this an omen or a fluke?? Airbag light goes on once in a while. Read other reviews, seems electronics biggest issue.

This is by far the nicest looking mini- van. However, the cost is very high for what you get. Resale is not what you would expect, it does not hold its value well.

First 7000 miles, it was great. Then, the rotors went out. Then the electrical panels in both the passenger and driver's sides went out. The lift gate alone was in the shop 3 different times to be fixed. The second set of rotors went out at 20,000 miles. AT 37,500 miles, the passenger side sliding door stopped working electronically. To this day, the electrical panels in both doors work off and on. The latest is the passenger window went down, but never came back up. We are NEVER buying Chrysler again. Buyer beware on this car!!! If you get one, get an extended warranty.

All have been repaired under warranty but now that my 36K warranty is up, the engine light is on again and the dealer dealer does not know what is wrong, Van in shop 3 days now. love this car but many problems.

As a retired couple making several trips between 300 and 4000 miles a year we were looking for room, good ride and reasonable milage. The LX has fulfilled those criteria along with quality of workmanship, style and reliability (the car has never been in the shop except for routine maintenance). My only regret is that I didn't spend a little more and get the bigger engine and tires. My only complaint is it's a little noisey on some types of concrete roads. My only problem was a blown rear tire. I've owned many vehicles over the past 50 years and the Town and Country is really "one of the best".

Not a bad van. Bought it because it was the only American mini on Consumer reports "reliable" list. Very comfortable/lots of room. Center and rear seats are removable. The seats are very heavy, and you have to be careful when removing them The seats have wheels, and greatly improved hardware. Go slow, and it's do-able. Radio sounded great, but it's an odd-ball size which leaves you very little choices if you want to put in an aftermarket radio. Alternator died, and airbag light would not go out at 18K, 1 A/C recall. All quickly and cheerfully fixed at dealer. Battery died at about 25K. All in all, a great car to take a LONG drive in.

Vehicle looks good and runs good. Very good for families. Confortable for long rides around the country. The major problem is the cost to maintain it. After the first year, every time it went into the Dealership they would find several things to do and it would cost way too much. It could be poor Chrysler mechanics or a Dealrship that takes advantage of customer. Either way, I would not buy it again.

Ample power, even with the smaller 3.3, comfortable, very reliable. Yes, the rear seat doesn't fold down, but if you remove it you have much more room than the vans I've seen where seats fold flat. The seat comes out easily, but it is a little heavy. The wheels help out immensely.

Owned this van for almost 2.5 years. Brake rotors warped at 11K, dealership turned & replaced pads. Warped again at 26K, dealer says normal, not covered under warranty. Same time, experienced rough shifts into second. Dealership determined a seal was leaking and rebuilt the transmission. Tranny still is not working correctly, dealer says no problem. They broke the dash lights when fixing the tranny and now have on order an instrument cluster to fix this problem. Shop at this dealer is poorly run, can't list problems with thier service staff. Wonder if that might be most of the problem? Will be trying another shop in the next 2 weeks

We were skeptical regarding Chrysler due to reliability issues. It was easier to drive than an SUV. We tested the Honda (interior noise issues), Toyota (too small third row), the Caravan and leased the T&C, with option to buy. We are very happy with it. We have not had any problems with it and keep to regular maintanance every 5000 mi. It handles GREAT in the snow and ice, plus gives us reassurance in wet conditions. It was the only minivan with the 2nd and 3rd rows having LATCH system (Toyota and Honda only had it in 2nd row). We will plan to buy it at the end of our lease (2004) as we have had no problems (especially the transmission & brakes).

lookied at the Odyssey and the T&C...when you compare the spartan Ody with the feature rich T&C it is a no- brainer.

People need to get over this obsession with Honda..reliable? yes they seem to be...but they areso stripped, there's not much to break. Mopar transmission?

I traded in a 99 Chevy Venture for the T&C I now own. The chevy got much better mileage and the 3.8 was a better engine performance wise (My T&C has a 3.3liter). The only complaint other than that is the window control hub is poorly placed. My knee rubs against it and I find that very uncomfortable. My dealer claims to be a five star dealership whatever that means. I am not impressed,the attitude is we are number three and that's O.K. Sad, Chrysler has good looking products but the poor reputation lives on in the service department and the poor resale proves others still have low opinion about the product.My 2001 has lost 55% of its value in two years...

The original purchase was awesome but that quick deteriated when things began going wrong (right after warranty of course). A factory defect in a vent in the dash prevented the thermostat from working on the passenger side. Even though this was a factory defect, Chrysler refused to fix unless we paid. The last one was a washer motor failure for the front wipers. I am sick and tired of paying 200-300 for repairs on a vehicle less than 2 years old.

This is my first Chrysler van. When I bought it I didn't research about the vehicle enough. It is comfortable, reliable (If the tranny doesn't go out after 75K miles, or if the power doors will break, and many more, can't list there are too many), and NOT safe. If you go to www.iihs.org you will find out that it got a poor, which is the lowest rating. It got a poor because a lot of fluid in the fuel system leaked, another reason is that the dummy's head bottomed out of the air bag and hit the steering wheel. Why is this a family van if you get in an accident your chance of surviving isn't good? The 02- and 03's got a marginal, second worst rating!

I love this car (and it does handle like a car). More importantly, my wife and kids love it! It's fun to drive, powerful and looks pretty cool; something even a man's man shouldn't be ashamed to tool around in. Over 20,000 miles and only a faulty ABS sensor on driver's side wheel, which of course is covered under warranty. Service at dealership (Falveys) is great and I know they'll take good care of me. No complaints...I definitely recommend.

Third one is not always a charm

In 1996 I purchased my first Chrysler Minivan. The 2001 is my third one I liked the other one's so much. I have upgraded luxury each time. I now own the AWD LTD the only real luxury minivan available. The extra weight added to the frame by auto liftgates and sliding doors is too much for the antique 3.8l powerplant. Mileage decreased from the 1998 by almost 5mpg. Chrysler promised the 300M powerplant to be fitted in 2003 and it is still nowhere to be found. This was the last one for me. The Honda Odessey is all thats left in a minivan.

Might be the last Chrysler

My wife and I really like this Van. I have had a few problems with the rear power door not opening until the button is pushed 3 times. Was rectified by dealer immediately. An annoying noise from the power steering pump at low speeds has developed. Rides great on the highway, very quiet, apleasure to drive.

Lots of repairs on under the 36k warranty. Can't believe the poor quality on construction. Very noisy inside lots of air leaks.

We have owned this van 1 year and have really loved it. The 3.8L engine has plenty of power. We don't have an issue with the rear seat (we have a truck). We recommend this van wholeheartedly. The only issues that we have had are as follows: 1. The rubber seal on the sliding doors sometimes falls off when we open or close the van. It slips right back on. We are trying to find time to take it back into the dealer for a quick repair. 2. The movable center console's base in the the rear position (between the middle captain's chairs) is slightly tall and our kids sometimes trip over it. That's it. Great van

Love this van!

Love the room inside and the comfort of the passenger seating. Only complaints, the steering wheel clicks at times. The doors sound rough at times. Other than that - we love this car.

I PURCHASED MY 2001 TOWN AND COUNTRY LX VAN IN DECEMBER 2000, AND I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH IT. THERE IS A WIND NOISE FROM THE WINDSHIELD WHILE THE AIR CONDITIONER IS ON. THE BRAKES CONTINUE TO SQUELL EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERS PUT NEW PADS AND OTHER ITEMS ON THE BRAKES. THE POWER WINDOWS HAVE BEEN STICKING UP OR DOWN, AND 4 WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN A 4 WEEK TIME FRAME.

We have had to machine the rotors every 8,000 miles. Windows, radio, and dome lights work when they want to which is unfortunate for us since they can't "reproduce the problem" at the dealership. Should have gone with the Toyota.

We purchased this minivan as a family car. Up to now (it's been 3 months) we've had nothing but good experiences with this car. I gave a lower rating in fun to drive, but it's a minivan. We didn't buy it to have fun driving it.

bad buy

About a week ago, my parents traded in our White 1996 Chyrsler Town & Country Base Extended model for a Patriot Blue 200l LX model. Although we all miss the old one, the new one is just about as nice. We really like the way this one handles and the new improved 3.3 with more horsepower is much better than the old 3.3 powerplant. All instrument controls are in the right place and easy to use. I only have a few complaints. Our 96 base model had a few more extras like the 10 speaker sound system and power drivers seat. Features that the 2001 LX Model DOES NOT HAVE. But, overall, this van seems to be of better quality and reliability than the 96.

Nightmare car not dream car!

I bought this van with 44 miles on it. It has 1300 onit a month later and a good portion of them are from going to the dealer and service department to argue the meaning of automatic. The automatic lights come on long after they should. The automatic air doesn't cool the cabin to the temperature you set it for. The advertised 18MPG in the city is more like 14.8. I'm in the process of selling it, and I'll never buy another Chrysler product.

I have had this van for 1 year, and we have had to take it to get fixed 5 times. All the electrical stops working, the brake and ABS lights stay on the power locks or door openers work and evan the air conditioner or heater works. And if you are like every one else who drives a van you have children. Not having air or heat can be very miserable. If you live in Tenn. Valley I would not reccomend buying a vehicle from Moss Automotive when you take your new 30,000 dollar vehicle to be worked on they give you a 5,000 dollar car to drive and it is flat on empty. If have to pray you make it to the nearest gas station. Thanks for reading my review.

My van's problems started when it hit 24000 miles.Since then, it has been in the shop 8 times.They have tried several times to fix a bad vibration in the steering.It is still not fixed and I was told yesterday that there is nothing else they can do.It seems the vibration is a known problem in the T&C vans.Besides the steering vibration, the power door has been fixed 3 times, the driver's heated seat has been fixed 4 times; electrical parts of the van will start running on their own and run the battery down (this has happened twice); I had to replace the front brake rotors at 16000 miles; a computer in the engine has been replaced twice.

The Best Of Both Worlds!

We Initially Wanted A SUV. The Room & Comfort Was NOT There. So We Looked At The 01 T&C LTD AWD. Remote Power Doors, Lift Gate And All Wheel Drive Makes for The Perfect Family/People Mover! The Limited Has All The Options + More! And The LATCH System for the Child Seat Is A Definite Plus. Way To Go Chrysler!

So far so good... No problems at all. Excellent build quality, no rattles or squeks. There is some wind noise around the doors and some tire noise in the rear, but only minor. The sound system is excellent. My wife didn't want a van( she wanted a Tahoe) but likes the way it drives. Excellent value for the money.
