This has been a wonderful minivan which we have thoroughly enjoyed since purchased in 2008. Very few problems have occurred and it has consistently given 25 mpg on trips and exceptional comfort. Passengers have enjoyed the heated seats and three area a/c and heating controls. The sound system is great and the gps system works perfectly. We hope it goes to a new owner who likes it as much as we do.

Bought at 20,00.00 miles. Have 104,000. 2 sets of brakes. Replaced air conditioning, Entertainment system is unrepairable, needs replaced~ no radio, CD player, DVD player, multiple electrical issues, Replaced 4 Batteries, replaced starter, 2 engine mounts,with two more that need to be replaced,4 calipers, tie rods, and after $900 in repairs last week, drove it 1 minute out of the shop and the transmission went. Needs a new transmission. I've never hated a car as much as this. Chrysler, if you read this I will NEVER EVER buy another Chrysler. Thousands in repairs. LOTS of stress with breakdowns.

Thankfully I purchased the bumper to bumper warranty when I bought the van new. I have had two engines put in and it still burns 1 quart per 1000 miles. The dealer says that is normal and acceptable. I can't list all the things that have gone wrong with this van. Even Worse it's like pulling teeth to get the dealer to fix it. Consumer Reports gave it the worst rating with all black dots, and they where right. Never buy Chrysler. They are junk and the service they provide is horrible.

Run away from this minivans

Too many problems if you don't know how to do minor things like changing engine parts and brakes then you better have a lot of money to pay the shop because it will be one problem after another and Wil never ends. I will never never buy another Chrysler or nothing similar like dodge or anything that has Chrysler engine and transmission because theirs another van from vw that has Chrysler engine and transmission. Next vehicle will be Toyota or Honda minivan.

180K and going for another 200K!!!

We purchased this 2008 tc touring with 160K in early spring 2015 and bought it for right at 6,000 I guess bc of the migher miles. After purchasing it we put new yokahama tires H rated for that little extra security, all four brakes ,brake hoses , replaced plugs flushed coolant changed all wiper blades fixed the typical heater hose issue behind the exhaust manifold replaced the rear blower motor and changed the air filter as well as run nothing but Mobil 1 5w 20... I did this trying to start off with the van somewhat reliable so far I notice slight oil usage but considering the miles I'm not complaining it could be seeping from the rear main seal but not enough to make spots on the driveway. I bought an egr valve bc I heard that's a common failure but over all I think if you do good maintenance and replace parts as needed these vans can be great machines for a family. They are roolol affordable and just handy. We plan on dropping another engine and/or transmission in it and keep running it for a long time. Age doesn't bother me its more about maintenance and although the transmission does shift a bit goofy but seems to do everything its supposed to lol

We bought this vehicle New,and now have 115K on it .The engine and transmission have been excellent,everything else seems cheaply built and falling apart..The most serious issue is that the rear axle brace that fastens the passenger side rear wheel to the body of the vehicle has snapped cleanly in two twice in the past 6 months,no idea why .The last time we were at 45 MPH,fishtailing all over the road, fortunate to bring it to a safe stop....and 600 miles from home..We were lucky to find a little local welding shop there , they added an angle iron to the tinsy little brace,welded it on and we returned home safely.....Chrysler designed a cutout hole into the brace ,probably to save a few pounds of metal ,that is where both breaks happened about 3 inches apart....we feel lucky to be alive.

We had a 2008 Town & Country had every option to it. Including Swivel n'Go, and Walter P Chrysler Package. Well Our journey with it was OK. But it started to have issues I mean a lot of issues. Down to the point of it having a poorly made suspension. My families almost death experience was because of Chryslers poor engineering team. The story of this start in March of 2013 when my family and I were on our way to Myrtle Beach, SC for Spring Break. They trip was going fine for the first four hours of our trip but once we got around the Louisville, Kentucky area; we got a really bad shaking in our suspension so we pulled off at the nearest rest area. We checked all the tires to find that they looked perfectly normal and had no bulges in them. So we proceed to drive down the Interstate going about 75 MPH and all of a sudden it felt like the rear axle had fallen off the vehicle. The van goes immediately into a fish tale and luckily didn't flip over because at one point we were completely sideways going down the interstate. After the Van had come to a stop my family completely in utter disbelief get out of the van to find that our wheel had sheered off the wheel hub assembly. After a tow truck was called and the van was taken to the Chrysler dealership we found out that it was caused by a manufacture defect that wasn't able to take the load of six people and luggage; that the stress on the axle was to great. We no longer have this van and no longer feel safe inside a Chrysler product. We now own a 2013 Ford Flex SEL and it has taken us a lot more places with a bigger load with no issues. Anybody reading this review DON'T BUY THIS VAN Especially if you have kids. I recommend looking at the Ford Flex best car we have owned. Learn from our Mistake and don't buy the van. We are lucky to be alive.

BUYER BEWARE!! DON'T BUY!!!

Run away as fast as you can from the 2008 Chrysler Town & Country Touring minivan. We purchased this vehicle pre-owned in July of 2013 and we are currently in the month of July 2015. Since we have owned the vehicle, we have had to change the front brakes 3 times and the rear brakes once, as well as, the rotars for the front braking system. We use a 5w-20 Synthetic Blend oil and we are always needing to add at least 2 quarts before the next oil change. The minivan only has approximately 77,7xx miles. Which is still relatively low as far as mileage is concerned on a vehicle. I called the dealership and I was informed that this is a common problem for the 2008 Chrysler minivan. For some reason after it reaches 50K miles, the vehicle is designed to burn more oil; per Technician. (What a funny man, right?) Anyways, since March of 2015 to July 17, 2015, our back rear top brake light bar stopped working and it caused our check engine light to trigger. Of course, according to 2 major, well-known auto parts store that it is a Dealship repair. I was given the estimate of $200-$400 for a replacement part. Next the top radiator hose blew a nice, quarter size hole to the plastic connector piece. We weren't able to replace that piece, because it required the entire assembly to be replaced, which was very close to a $500 repair. I can not forget to mention all the squeaky noises the vehicle has during the winter months. Such as the dvd compartment area rattles and squeaks, something on the the passenger row door squeaks (similar noise to a torn cv boot). The plastic bracket that holds the sunvisor in place, has fallen out, because the screw appears to be stripped. The A/C blower fan was operating loudly. Once again, was informed it was a common problem for this type of vehicle and a $250 repair cost. The day before family vacation in May 2015, the cable for the passenger row door snapped. That was quoted at approximately $700 for THAT repair. Then today, as I was doing errands, the check engine light came on. I had a diagnostic test performed and now I have 2 more issues. 1) The ECM has detected that brake switch 2 is applied while brake switch 1 is open. 2) EGR position sensor rationality closed. Meaning The ECM is detecting EGR flow or movement when it is not expected. Probable cause: Failed EGR Solenoid, Failed EGR position sensor, & Failed EGR valve. Yes, another expensive repair. Estimate is between $200-$400 and we also have 2 separate recall notices, which neither have been repaired. The dealership doesn't know when the parts from the factory will become available and it could take anywhere from 3-5 years before the repairs take place. Unfortunately, this is absolutely the worst vehicle we have ever owned!!! A disheartening factor is I was a previous owner of a brand new 2001 Chrysler Sebring. It was the best vehicle with very few problems. When we decided to purchase the Chrysler minivan, I was elated. I was certain we had made a great choice based on my previous experience. I was so wrong on so many levels. Sad to say, but with relief, we will no longer purchase another Chrysler!! I'm looking forward to a much better, less stressful experience that will not become a money pit witin 2 years.

Driving this van is a bit scary. You never no when it will shut off and you lose your power steering and brakes. The engine lights comes on and stays on. The break lights come on and stay on. The airbag light comes on and stays on. The low traction lights come on when the engine dies. Sometimes it doesn't start for several tries. So far I haven't been rear ended! I have replaced tires, and both sets of breaks. I've had it just over 2 years. I've had 4 recalls so far, can't fix it locally and they will do it one at a time. The gear knob just broke on the inside and I have two kids wanting to drive. Need to get something more reliable!

We like the features of the van such as powered doors, captain seats, DVD players. The kids love the van and it is safe. However I greatly question the quality and reliability. With 70,000 miles on ours it literally eats 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles. No blue smoke, not leaking on floor. The first week we owned it the EGR valve went bad. The brakes are new so haven't replaced them yet in 6 months. Seems to wear the tires pretty quick. Sounds like a wheel bearing is going bad lately. The interior has some cheap spots as the handle for the gear shift fell off as did the sun visor. The gas mileage is averaging 18 mpg which is mix of town and highway. But the extended warranty for this one!

Do not buy this van!!!! i bought it in 2010 with 25,000 miles on it and within 300 miles of having it the transmission died. Chrystler did repair it but i had to pay 500 dollars for it. At 35,000 miles my rear seat did not want to go down for stow and go and is stuck at a half cocked position. not to long after that the other seat is stuck at a half cocked posistion. i have had multiple roof leaks, at sunroof, break problems, rotar problems, tires seem to need replacing to often, i now have a major oil leak, the coolant starting to leak, the window went and got stuck shut, sometimes the heater wont blow on the window, the clock dont work, major delay on the radio turning on and much more

3 Sets of brakes......All 4 wheels! Electric rear seat repaired 3 times! Still doesn't work. Right front out drive replaced! Now Heater Hoses need replace! 65,000 Miles.......... I have never believed the story about foreign cars being higher quality than American cars but, my neighbor bought a 2008 Honda Van 1 week after I bought my Chrysler, his has never been back to the dealer! I am feeling like I will pay for this van 2 times. I guess I should not write this until I get rid of my van!

This is our second 2008 town and country, both were preowned. Th first was LX trim and the current one is limited. I got the first minivan with 95 k and I sold it with 130k and 4 years of ownership. It was running solid but did not have a lot of options that we needed. Then two months ago I was able to spot a black 2008 tc limited. You can't beat the value of these minivans; the price of the minivan, oem parts and dealership labor and still under 17 K. Lets be realistic, maybe this minivan is not durable like a toyota, BUT you get huge savings and lot of features that you can't find with other manufacturers. It's not expensive to maintain the minivan and I believe reliable enough.

Our 2008 Town & Country shuts off while driving and I have no control of steering or braking. We have had it to car dealership and they say they have not heard of the problem and seem stumped. But if you google this subject you will find several similar complaints. There is a recall for the ignition system, but this is not what's causing it in the 2008 and they can't figure it out. I have filed an inquire with Chrysler and waiting. We also have had to do break repairs about every 8 months. It's pretty on the outside, but I would NOT recommend this car.

An overall good family vehicle. I travel CONSTANTLY interstate, and I take the seats out and camp in it. I find the stow n go floor storage bins MOST HELPFUL, as I keep supplies in them and that saves more room. I tinted the sides and rear windows limo-tinting, to cut down solar ray intrusion. I really like the convienience of the overhead dvd player. ALL in all...i'm a big fan!!

We bought the van new. The only warranty problems I had were with the side mirrors, the side marker covers fell off and one mirror wouldn’t return after backing up, the dealer replaced one mirror and fixed the marker on the other. Chrysler had a recall on the front brakes at 18000 miles; the dealer replaced the entire front brake components. Other than those minor things it has been trouble free and dependable. I do make sure the regular maintenance is done on time, including a transmission oil change at 60000 mi. I drive to OK city regularly, a 16hr trip, it is a pleasure to drive and 25 mpg doesn’t hurt either. I would buy another in a second. I currently have driven it 69700 mi.

Has Been Reliable. Now with almost 80,000 miles on it.

This has been a great van. It is the Walter P. Chrysler signature series with swivel n go. only replaced the rotors and brakes twice. The worst thing that has happened to are van in the 80,000 miles is we had to replace the radiator hose and that was only 125 dollars at the dealership with labor. there is one annoyance were the center stack has its paint wear away because of resting your hands there while on the Mygig. the dash speakers also destort when at high sound levels. the best fuel economy was 27.8 mile to the gallon coming from St Louis, MO

I bought my 2008 T&C used with 17k miles.I now know why the previous owner ditched it!Since I bought it,the wipers come on by themselves (while driving & while parked), horn goes off constantly,van will crank itself w/out the key (I don't have remote start),van brakes on its own while driving, takes itself out of gear,won't crank 1/2 the time,washer fluid sprays on its own,passenger doors will only close 1/2 of the time by button (nothing in the way keeping it from closing).Took it to the dealership and was told I had a bad harness by driver door,after 3 days of them "looking."Replaced the harness and the next day same thing happened.Its now at a store parking lot because it won't crank!

We bought our van brand new. It was one of the few models of cars that would accommodate the wheelchair lift my husband needed. We are now at 37,000 and are needing brake work for the fourth time. We have had to replace the rotors twice under warranty, then once just a few months ago. I was driving the other day and the entire brake panel lit up. I have to take the darn thing back up again, and I shudder to think how much it will cost this time. I am angry that a car we depend on for my disabled husband has had so many brake problems.

I bought this 2008 minivan in everything went well with it until 36000 miles which covers all warranty. After 42000 miles the BCM (Body Control Module) got problem. I started the van went out parking lot and turned left. Suddenly all the electrical things got blowing up. The honking was loud, vipers front and back switched on, lights switched on etc. The noise was too loud. It was keep going on. I switched off the engine and its still same problem (honking was loud, vipers front and back switched on, lights switched on). I disconnected battery negative terminal and everything got stopped. I called the dealer and they said the warranty is expired and I need to bear the cost of repair.

Don't know where to start. How about this; Never buy a Chrysler product in your life. Don't let the sleek design and cool interior fool you into believing this vehicle is anything other than a complete lemon. Chrysler refuses to recall the brakes on this car. I have to replace brakes twice a year on this vehicle. Even Chrysler mecahnics admit that the brakes were under engineered for the size of the vehicle. Coolent hoses brake, transmission is clanky sounding and the air conditioning is nothing comparable to other minivans. I have 28K miles on the car and just went out of warranty. The car is paid for, so it is the only reason I hang onto this dreaded piece of trash.

Oh Boy What a Lemon!!!!!!! Where do I start. I bought this van new in 2008. Ever since I have replaced brake pads annually. Rotors every other year. It has gone through two sets of new tires. It has numerous very serious recalls. Two new sets of front wheel bearings. The most recent major fix was this winter at 80,000 miles the head gaskets needed to be redone. Now the front struts are completely shot. This vehicle only has 90,000 miles on it. Too say this vehicle has been nothing but a stress would be an understatement. It has since purchase spent on average every 3 to 4 months in the shop for major fixes of one sort or another. Now struts. What are the odds if I just hold out these too will be recalled? argh!!!!!! A warning to anyone considering buying this vehicle used, do not Purchase. The only reason I have not sold or traded this vehicle in is I refuse to pass this lemon on and void the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. Chrysler is gonna honor that for life and I'm not gonna let them off the hook for putting out such a piece of crap product by selling this POS to some poor unassuming sap who doesn't know better. :( :( Never will I buy another chrysler product and I have been a faithful chrysler owner for over 20 years.

I purchased a new 2008 Town & Country Touring minivan with the "Swivel & Go" seating. It is now 4 years old, and it is by far the biggest piece of junk I have ever owned!! There are so many problems with it, 700 characters isn't enough to cover all of them, so here's a summary: constantly needs new brake pads and rotors, leather seats are cracking (and this car is a garaged vehicle), dash clock on touchscreen has gone out twice, various parts of trim on interior and exterior repeatedly fall off, rear electric doors constantly breaking, multitude of engine problems - the list goes on. I will never purchase another Chrysler again!

I bought this vehicle new with a 6 yr warranty. If it was not for the warranty I would have gotten rid of it a while ago. There is a brake issue that causes the pads to stay pressed on the rotors thus reducing gas mileage, wears the pads and rotors yearly. It has cost me about $175 year due to my ability to changes the pads but a friend has been paying 350-500 a year for brake service. Chrysler will not acknowledges this issue even though the dealership is aware and everyone else. Steer clear of this years model. Also had a few thousand dollars of repairs which was covered by my warranty. Once the warranty is up bye bye van.

Do not buy

As mentioned by another reviewer, I have had to replace the rear breaks twice with only 43,000 on the vehicle. Many electrical problems. Currently has an electrical issue that is messing with the starter, but the part is on back order, so I will just have to hope it keeps running until the part comes in. The button you push to change gears has broken twice. This is considered cosmetic under the extended warranty plan, and therefore is no longer covered. Front headlight cost $300 and four hours to repair.

My van has only 33,000 miles on it. Rear brakes and rotors replaced last month for $500. Electrical would cut out until igition replaced (ran, but no wipers, turn signals, etc) and worked fine for a while. New problem: just shuts off while driving. Twice so far. As in NOTHING worked, including the steering. Yes, you read that correctly. Driving down the road then the thing shut off and there was NO STEERING. I have also had the problem with the sliding doors opening after they seem to be shut, but you can only shut them if the car is in park. Poor design feature to say the least. I will never buy Chrysler again. If I could afford to, I would get rid of this now. It is unsafe.

I have had all the same problems everyone else has complained about on here. Brakes replaced every year and now in for the brakes again. The part that makes it even funnier is that I had the transmission replaced about a year ago and it now has a hard shift problem and they are telling me that it is the software. I have to pay for the software updates on the transmission. Why would I need to pay for something that is a problem that I have no control of? Chrysler I thoguht was a high end vehicle manufacturer, I am finding now that is such a POC. The dealership has told me many times before that they couldnt find a problem when I brought it in before hand. DO NOT BUY!!

I purchased this vehicle in 2009 as a second owner with 33,000 miles on it. Since then I have put ~50,000 miles on it. The van is comfortable and rides decent. It has plenty of storage space. Gas mileage is lower than I'd like at 19/23. Mechanically this vehicle has had nothing but issues. While some were recalled and fixed, others are not. Problems: 1 - it uses oil, about 1qt/1000 miles. This is a major issue with me. 2 - The sliding door hinges do not support the doors well. They start rubbing on the bottom guide. 3 - I've had it in for service on the engine 3 times. Currently in the shop with issues. For a top of the line minivan I expected the quality to be a lot higher.

Bought 2008 T&C to replace a HORRID 02 Windstar that cost $$$ on repairs. It was recalled 12/2010 for rear axle. Ford didn't have parts so I drove a Sienna rental for 2.5 months. Hated the Sienna! Got my Windstar back. One week later the tranny blew! 127k miles! Traded for T&C. One week later I received another Windstar recall! Glad to be rid of it! T&C had 44k and in new condition. Runs great! Tranny is peculiar after sitting overnight. Shifts funny into 2nd but then is fine afterwards. So many negative reviews here make me nervous! Oddly, so many negative reviews have 3-4 stars! Hope I didn't make a mistake!

Overall this is an excellent buy for the amount of money you pay. I think the leather seems very soft and that may be a problem with kids and that is the only reason I gave a score of 8 on interior. Similarly I think it should hold up but the exterior could have used better quality plastics. Overall performance on 4.0 engine, fun factor, the electronics on board are great, considering this is a mini-van. The doors were acting up but dealer is not trained well or they do not have a good problem database. My friend who has the same van showed me how to fix the problem by tightening a hex screw on each door - DONE. Need wider set of tires and need the spare tire in a better place - come on!

Building vehicle like this they should be out of business. Breaks and tires had to be replaced b4 25,000 miles. The vehicle constantly squeaks and has more interior rattles than a babies toy. The shifter broke off at 18,000, and the air conditioner had a leak at 22,000 and the fuel mileage has never been close to advertised (average of 16.9) and dealership response is lacking at best. One constant problem has been break noise. It has been to several dealerships while under warranty (more than eight times) and they can't fix the problem. They keep calling it dust on the brakws, all I know is it's embarrassing to drive.

Most other vans look like spaceships inside and out. The T and C has nice wood grain finish, well designed ergonomic controls, and Current body style is best in the class Has all the convenience factors- we have the swivel and go which the kids love Peppy motor with good mileage Reliable- no maintenance issues to date would buy it again

We just purchased our 4th used town and country. Overall they have been reliable with minor problems. This one we purchased about 2 weeks ago, this morning I started the van and it turned on however no accessories would work. No wipers, doors, fan, or radio ( will fill you in on this in a bit). The VES system with the van is great, when it is not freaking out and deciding if it this will be the day it quits completely. So to everyone out there that has had problems with the electronics PLEASE report it to Chrysler so we can get a recall generated!

Wow! Upgraded from a 1996 Pontiac Transport Se to a 2008 Chrysler Town and country brand new off the lot! Worse mistake I made in my life! At 300 miles transmission was slipping bad. Warranty replaced after about 18 times to shop! Brakes and Rotors have been replaced, gear shift has fallen off, lights go off when they want to. Doors lock 15 mins after take off and then today I find out I need to struts and shocks. Please save your money you will regret buying this vehicle. Never heard of a new car needing so much attention. My 96 has only needed minor maintenance! Oh and let me not forget that the a/c doesn't cool properly and always some type of recall!

Purchased in 2008, at 15,000 had brakes and rotors replaced, mygig system ceased and was told it would be 1269.00 to replace. Just replaced brakes and rotors again and also in the shop for calipers. So, even though cars in a junk yard have a radio if it gets a power supply, this 2 yr old vehicle doesn't have one. This is the worst vehicle I've ever had. I've been a loyal Chrysler/Jeep customer and will never purchase from them again! Customer service stated that I was out of my warranty to assist with the radio repairs and would not meet me 1/2 way either. All the electronic plugs are failing and backup camera has ceased as well.

We traded in our 04 TC because we were having so many "unexpected" problems. Dealership even admitted that it must have been a "Friday" build. Now i wish we had kept the old one. We are under 30,000 miles, front and back brakes and rotors replaced, not at dealer, don't trust them, water pump replaced, radiator cap replaced. Now we are back in the shop because the electronic locks wont work, and there is a spot on the passenger side floor that is always wet. Plus the side doors are awful, always opening after you think they have been closed. Dealer admits that it was a bad design. So frustrated that i can't count on this vehicle. I have 4 little kids and thought i was paying for something reliable!

In 2 years I've had a few minor problems that were corrected by the dealership, but no major problems including the brakes. Original brakes are still in good condition. I believe most people who write reports are just the complainers and the owners who are satisfied with their vans do not write reports, because they are happy with their vehicles and don't bother writing a report.

This Town and Country design was horrible. We've owned 3 minivans from Chrysler and this weight ratio to brake pad design caused us to replace the brakes every 12K miles. To top it off, the brake pad extended warranty was voided for us because we went to Midas after we were tired of paying the dealer ridiculous rates. We will never buy another Chrysler product because of this experience and the subsequent experience with Chrysler Customer Assistance.

Had brake work done early - like the others. Have had this work done under warranty so far: replaced radiator cap with faulty seal when overheating, refill freon & replace faulty hose when a/c quit, transmission software upgrades (3x's) because it clunks in/out of gear. Now has been in the service shop over 2 weeks for "Major engine problem" and failing wheel bearings. Also have had some minor electrical problems. Problems with door sliding (or not) open/close, that I forgot I need to tell the service guy until I read these reviews. Sure wish I'd read these 2 years ago, I'd be in a different vehicle.

I wrote a review earlier on this purchase, 4 months after I purchased it. I feel the need to write another. Total problems=4 times to dealership for door alignment, they sprung my door in the process, motor on fan blown, front brakes replaced at 36,000 miles, transmission slips a lot, now front and rear brakes need to be replaced at 56,000 miles, front wheel bearings are shot and cant get any replacements, as of yesterday there are 4000 on back order through Chrysler and there are no after-market parts for this. It is a safety issue and Chrysler doesn't care. When my tires fall off going down the highway, Chrysler will care about the lawsuit they will have to deal with!

I don't even know where to begin. The first month I had this van, I was thrilled, and even wrote a good review here. Two years later, I'm ready to stop paying and let it get repossessed! Within 16,000 miles, my front brakes and rotors had to be replaced to the tune of $350 - and Chrysler said it was my driving habits? Well, a year later, they sent out a letter to everyone admitting that yeah, maybe there's a brake issue and they will reimburse everyone for repairs. While I'm waiting for that check, my brakes and rotors had to be replaced again - 21,000 miles later! But this time, it was my front and back brakes, so it cost me $600! Chrysler has a serious problem here.

We just traded our 2004 Cadillac srx in for the 08 town & country. The van is fully loaded and has several nice options but we have already had to call aaa to have it started on 100 degree day. The key would not turn in the ignition, ended up disconnecting the battery and it worked. Now there is a rattling sound coming from the rear. It drives very smoothly on the highway, of course not as smooth as the Cadillac, but we are getting over 100 miles per tank better gas mileage on an 18 gallon tank. Only at 21k miles so warranty should cover the rattling sound. The interior is very nice looking but you can tell it is very cheap material.

We have had 4 Chrysler/ Dodge mini vans (Ford, GMC also). The overall comfort and driving on the Town and Country was very good. The DVD/ TV/ Sirius etc is great but the van is not dependable, poor finish and too many noises that aren't supposed to be there. I am glad we bought the extended warranty! So far in two years we have replaced the gas tank (technician talk, sometimes things just break, can't really say why!), front rear brakes and front rotors, front bearings, replaced compartments to store headphones,adjusted sliding doors, radio/hard-drive, MP3 (that wasn't too bad, got an extra 6 mos subscription to Sirius!). Not worth the $38,000 we spent, will never buy new Chrysler again.

I too own a 2008 Chrysler town and country van with the same issues as everyone else. The brakes/rotors are constantly grinding and squealing as if they need to be replaced but the mechanic says they still have plenty of life in them. When i did replace them, the noise subsided for a while then came right back. I recently changed the hub bearing to no avail and now I am considering changing the stabilizer bar; not sure. The ac does not cool well and there is clinking noises coming from the rear when i ride over minor road bumps. This van was very poorly manufactured. I am very upset because this was a recent purchase this year 2010. I too should have got the Honda or Nissan Quest.

If you have a Young family this van is wonderful, but, I was very reluctant in leasing a gov't owned auto, and I was correct. It didn't take long for a _aw built vehicle to start squeaking and rattling. Multiple issues with side-slide door, twice replaced automatic door 'actuator'. Returning for a trip to s. C. The ac goes out, after repair, we find out this issue is on a recall list. Breaking has always been an issue, serious under breaking for vehicle weight. We have received a notice of 'break warranty extension', but we still have to pay for the break rotor and pads, $100. Chrysler has known about this cheep parts issue and won't man up and make a recall. Don't be afraid of a Toyota, we're not.

Oh where should I start. Front & back brakes replaced, a/c hose, 3rd bench not locking in place, transmission slipping, squeaking noises from frame when you go over bumps, driver's seat broke the first day we got it home. Almost blew up the engine with a oil leak in the manifold. I never saw a drop in the driveway and oil light came on one time! More problems then my 12 yr old explorer! At least the brakes are being reimbursed! If I wouldn't lose so much money trading it in and still have car payments, I would trade it in. So far the dealership has been good with repairs.

My wife and I purchased the Town & Country Limited in September 2008. We needed to replace the brake pads within 5months after purchase. We then replaced the brakes and rotors again 6months later. Its electrical system has been giving us problems not starting for around 3 months The dealership can't seem to fix it. My advice is to pay the extra money for the Honda Minivan.

I have had problems with my brakes. I had only 5% left of my brake pads at 21,000 miles. Thanks to their recent recall I had my front brakes replaced minus a $50 deductible (which is ridiculous!) and my a/c hose was also recalled and was low on freon due to the leak. Both have been fixed and no more problems. I also had a recall on the temperature gauge which I never receive a notice on. I had a problem in the past with the sliding doors just opening up on their own AFTER I locked the doors - but the dealership also fixed that no charge. I also am experiencing problems with my transmission but it never seems to happen when at the dealer. New prob the car sounds like a boat at the exhaust!

Van started making loud squealing noise while driving. Shop told us no problem found, next day rear brake billowing smoke. Had to have towed.

Monthly we have to take our van in for re-calls or fixing of some sort. This van has had multiple brake issues. We now have problems with electronic parts such as the doors and the radio. We have replaced brakes 3 times at 44,000 miles, and replaced a hose in the air conditioner at 20,000 miles. Currently it sounds like an airplane landing when we drive.

This car has been a nightmare, it has been in the shop more times than I can count. I had to replace my brakes within 14k miles & it was not covered in my bumper to bumper warranty, if they would have worn out 1000 miles earlier it would have been covered! My AC broke within a year, and they refused to fix it, said it's not a covered part even though I have an extended bumper to bumper warranty that I paid for with my original financing. I have had a wheel bearing & hub replaced, it was covered but they still charged me the 100.00 deductible even those these are not normal things that would break within a year of having a car.

I, like everyone else, had to replace the brakes at 15,000 miles and they still squeaked. Now, at 33,000 they need replacing again, and so do the rotors. It was suggested that it is my driving. In 20 years I have never had this problem before, so I don't think so. I am also having problems with the a/c, it doesn't cool well. The recall didn't fix it, either. And now, it is leaking something! I am seriously considering trading in this piece of junk for a Lexus with twice the miles and 2 years older. I chose this van because of the styling and the price.

I am a single mom with three boys and purchased a brand new 2008 Chrysler Limited in October 2008. This was the most expensive vehicle I ever purchased. This was also my third Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth van since 1999. In November 2009 I drove the van to Florida for Thanksgiving. On Thanksgiving day the rear brakes seized and the following day a local dealer informed me I had to replace the brakes, rotors, pads and a caliper. This was $620.00 out of pocket. I love my van and the boys enjoy the DVD player. The van is very comfortable and I find there is plenty of leg room, even in the 3rd row. I have replaced the front brakes and now I am having issues with the A/C. Chrysler own up!

My 2008 T&C (only 20k miles!) has had numerous transmission problems (won’t shift out of first gear, loud clunking noises, etc.). The latest issue is a loss of acceleration at highway speeds. The check engine light will come on and the car rapidly loses speed. Chrysler “can’t fix the problem” because they “can’t reproduce it” during test drives, even though the vehicle’s monitoring system returns several error codes. The dealer and manufacturer don’t want to “throw parts at the problem” and are unable to do anything else to fix it. Efforts to resolve this issue through Chrysler's Impartial Service Group have been ineffective.

I was disgusted to have to change brakes and rotors at 17K then pads again 6 months later. Scary when the computer went AWOL 4 times Suddenly the lights were flashing, the horn was honking and the windshield wash squirting then the doors opened and closed, then locked us out. I am worried for the future because the transmission clunks when it shifts into 2nd under no load or if you try to accelerate just as you come to a stop.

This has all occurred before 36,000 miles. The transmission also slips, so I am sure that will need to be replaced at my expense as well.

I bought this mini van for my wife and 4 kids. It has the 3.3L V6 that is a TOTAL FRIGGEN DOG!!!! The real problem is the STUPID "fly by wire" throttle, if you mash the accelerator to the floor it only limps along and will NOT open up the throttle to 100%. I consider this a HUGE safety hazard. If you drive in heavy traffic you DO NOT WANT THE 3.3 L V6. It does not have the power to get out into traffic and up to speed in time to keep from getting run down by other traffic. Other than that, it's a mini van. I drove it from Illinois to Arizona, then up through Utah to Colorado and back to Illinois with the wife, 5 kids, and luggage on board. It was crammed but comfortable.

Driving on highway I manage to get 16 & I am not a fast driver; I also do not idle the car, but barely get 11 driving locally. it is big and boxy, which some might like; we did good use of the DVDs after the repair software, but I still have to turn the engine off on sometimes to get it to work. 3rd is decent.

First of all, I only leased my MV because my baby, my beautiful 204 baby blue Pacifica, was totaled in a front end collision. Everyone walked away from that with only minor aches and pains - a true testament to the early models of the Pacificas. We went to the same dealership that we bought the Pacifica, only to learn that the Pacificas were being discontinued. So we leased the T&C van instead. I have 26k miles and have to replace FOUR rotors and FOUR brakes, for over $700. On a leased car. Still under warranty. I thought the rotors were included between the bumpers, but apparently not in this universe. AVOID AT ALL COST.

At 15,000 miles tires needed to be replaced no discount for poor quality tires. Brakes and rotors bad they were good enough to split the cost. Aren't brakes and tires supposed to last longer. Never have I had such bad luck with a car -electronics keep going bad. Locked out of car due to electrical problems. Tire pressure light kept indicating tires did not have pressure. The worst tires ever. Dealer not cooperative. This is the worst quality car for 40000 I have ever owned. Don't recommend to anyone.

I really, really fought with myself over the purchase of this vehicle. Even before we purchased it, the MV was getting terrible reviews. But there was the issue of the warranty. The incredible lifetime warranty that no one else offered. I gotta say, they reeled me in - hook, line, sinker. You know that 3 year 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty thing? Somehow or another the wheels and brakes must sit outside of the bumpers, cause my brakes went bad with only 27,000 miles on them. 20,000 of those miles were all highway. Repair to replace? $479 at Midas on a 17 month old car. Think about that.

I have read the reviews and I must say, I'm very surprised at the number of people complaining or having issues. Our van has been "perfect" to date. Not a single issue! Runs great, no rattles, tires look good, brakes are just dandy. I change the O&F every 3k and rotate tires every 6k. This van is meant to be driven AS A VAN. No chronic brake pedaling - no hard cornering/braking - and no rapid acceleration. I've seen how most people drive. If I were their car/van - I'd want to cough, hiccup & breakdown in hopes they'd trade me in so that I could possibly acquire a new owner who will drive me as I require & regularly maintain to my needs.

With the car less than two years old and only 14700 in miles, there was a pulsing in the brakes that resulted in having the front brakes replaced. At 16500 miles the back brakes need replacing and it needs two new front tires as well because the wheel alignment was to be checked during the 1st brake inspection-not done. All at our own expense! The dealership stated that the brakes may have been designed too small or incorrectly as to not handle the weight and size of the van and nothing to do with the warranty and the brakes are not covered.Chrysler has not shown any concern for safety of the van, nor a concern to get things fixed correctly. No concern in their own car! Disappointed!!

This is our first minivan. Heard great things about this van and it was a great fit for the growing family. The breaks on this van has been a problem since around oil change number 3. We do not live in an area where hills would be a concern. This van has been in for break repairs and the service man has stated that they are a problem. That was comforting to hear. The heat that rises under the dash makes driving in the spring and summer uncomfortable as well. We want to support American made but this companies's van is not customer friendly.

Not big problems. At least by now.

We bought this van used about 4 months ago and we have not had big issues with it. The only one issue with it are the front breaks. It looks like it needs rotors and brakes replaced. I do not think is covered under the warranty so I am going to get that repleced by my self. It has 23000 miles only. I also had a brand new 2009 vw routan which is manufactured by Chrysler Canada for VW and it had the same brakes issue and I just had 3000 on it.

I love the van and it is a great fit for my family. It is the second Chrysler product for me in 20 years. The only issue I have is the van will not hold itself back going downhill regardless of selecting low gear at the top. The brakes will be gone in no time, we live at the top of a serious hill. I expected the 6 speed to handle this, very underwhelmed with this aspect.

Like many other 2008 T&C owners, this was our third Chrysler minivan, and, like many other 2008 T&C owners, this will be our last! To be told by the dealer they know things are problems, such as premature brake wear, premature tire wear, and side doors that open and close on their own, and THEN to be told those items are not covered by Chrysler, and THEN to be told by CHRYSLER that those items are known issues, but again that they will not be covered, is just too much. This vehicle was very, very disappointing, and the service from both the dealership and the corporate offices was the worst I have ever received from anyone. Too bad, because the previous two vans were great. Never again.

Will buy another.

My 2008 with luxury option package was my 5th Chrysler product van. Other than a very minor rattle in one door, it was totally reliable for the two years that I owned it. A flood in Florida has unfortunatly caused the van to be a right off. The incredible versatility of this van is the reason I will definitly buy another. The 4 litre engine will provide ample power although the 3.8 served me well. Economy not bad for a vehicle of this size. Dealer service has been good in both Canada and Florida.

Bought our van in august 2008. It is our first van and we bought it because we wanted to do some traveling. We live in Pennsylvania and just did our second round trip to central Florida. Its been fun to drive, smooth & reliable. The only problem weve had is the air stopped blowing cold on the way down. Fortunately it was just a line leak and it was fixed at the dealership in Winter Haven, fla in one day and the air was icy once again. We are very glad we bought this type of van and the first 20,000 miles have been great. Only slight disappointment is the gas mileage is not as good as chrysler said-about 22 on the highway and only 10-11 in the city.

We purchased a certified used 2008 T&C LX with 3000 miles in January. New brakes and rotors required at 17K miles. Based on other online reviews and some quick math, it became apparent we would have to pay for a complete brake replacement every 15K miles or so. Wear items are not covered under warranty so we were looking at a $800 hit every year. I can understand a brake replacement at 30-40K but not annually. Clearly there is a design problem with the 2008s. After much back and forth with the dealer and Chrysler corporate, we agreed to a $250 deductible. Once fixed, we traded in vehicle. Sorry Chrysler!

I have owned 5 new mini-vans since 1986, and this is be far the best one I've owned. We like all the extra features and have had not trouble of any kind since I purchased it. This is much improved from the 2005 model I owned. The 2005 model was the worst one I've owned. I would like a little better mileage, but it's not bad for a heavy van. I think a lot of people complain about their vans, but they probably complain about most everything they have. I also question how they drive and service them. I have driven over 1,500,000 miles in 17 new GM, Ford and Chrysler products, and never had much trouble with any of them. Don't drive them like a race car and service them properly.

We leased a 2008 Town & Country and have had nothing but problems. Three days into the lease brakes made noise and stearing was off. We hadd to get new brakes, roters and a wheel alignment. Doors were opening on thier own or not closing. Drove to Florida, the radiator cap blew and radio would not work for 3 hours, radio stations change on thier own. The van is horrible and we are fighting to get out of the lease, the dealership was horrible, they are located in Jersey, they could care less that we had all the problems, they gave me a PT cruiser as a rental and made me change cars outside in a snow storm with a 3 year old and a 7 month old, no help and would not let me in the garage!!!

We have an early build 20087, and it has been great. The only issue we have had has been the premature brake wear (that I caught right before 12K miles so dealer covered the cost). The fuel economy of this van has been fantastic, we have taken several road trips with full cargo area, and nothing at all is creaking, making noise, or otherwise working poorly. It is super comfortable, and looks great in brilliant silver. This is my first T&C as I could not buy a Honda since my Accord has had 4, yes 4, transmissions and a front end repaint since being bought new in 2002.

Took it to get fixed. 2 weeks later I discovered an air conditioner leak that had MUSHROOMS growing in front passenger floorboard. I will send pics if any one doesn't believe this! Also brakes were messed up (crunching sound) at about 4000 miles. Took several times with them saying nothing wrong and finally had to be replaced @ 21000 miles. The all electric 3rd row seat had 2 b fixed b/c motor quit working on one side. The sliding passenger doors don't always close & has to be manually closed.

Purchased our Limited with 18k, now has 26k. We've had a few minor problems with the power sliding doors (one door sometimes does not open in extreme cold, the other needed an adjustment, both were oversensitive in the operation - software fix) and with the radio/nav unit (restarting the ignition fixed it). Otherwise, it's been trouble-free. Very cushy. Front seats could use more shoulder/neck support and adjustable headrests. 3rd row lacks legroom, but then, it's designed for kids. Poor HVAC control design. MPG is around 15 city, and we've gotten as much as 31 highway @65-70 mph. If you're in the market and can afford it, get the Ltd. The 3.3 and 3.8 have no real power; the 4.0 does.

Bought this piece of American junk in 08. So far the doors have needed work, the heater/ac blower motor works intermittently, the dealer of course cant find a problem. Just got the front brakes done at 23,000 miles. My guess is the use of sub grade materials, poor acceleration on highway, brake calipers frozen on rear brakes and dealership tells me it could be a week before they come in. My hope is Chrysler disappears from the business. I will never buy another. Completely sickened by the company and their unwillingness to fix any problem unless it's out of the warranty period.

On the whole my wife, kids and I love the van. As our first new car we like all the gadgets and the new car feel. BUT... after 10,000 miles I can hear both sliders make a creaking noise when taking off and just before coming to a stop. Also when hitting the brakes I get a vibration in the steering wheel and in the whole van.The faster I'm going when I hit the brakes the worse it is. After reading some of the reviews, this sounds like a rotor, pad problem. I may be wrong but I don't think a 42,000 dollar van [Paid 30] should do that. We also have the pass slider that wont close all the way unless done by hand. I haven't brought it in yet, so we'll see.

We traded my old sedan for the T & C and have not looked back. THe van is simply the most incredible, family oriented vehicle on the market. The DVD system is great for the boys (ages 4 and 2- year-old twins). After owning for a month we packed it up and headed ten hours south to Virginia Beach. Van performed great.

We bought the van shortly after the arrival of our 2nd child. We figured we needed the room and went with the most popular model out there. One week after ownership, the tire monitor goes off and there's a leak in the rim. Dealer replaces the monitor. Week later, its back. Dealer fixes it. 2 months later, its back. Meanwhile, the side door has stopped closing all the way. Dealer takes 4 stabs at it before ordering all new mounting parts for the door. 15,000 miles into ownership and the brakes and rotors are so far gone that they are in need of $300 replacement.

The seats fold down and make it very versatile and the leather seats make it so much more comfortable than the cloth. Not all T&C are equal, but test drive it and if you are lucky enough to find one as great you'll love driving it all the time! We like the gear shift up by the steering wheel too!

I am a real shopper and the T&C Touring was by far the best choice between the Sienna and the Odessy. The T&C had the best layout and seating plus the stow and go is great. I have had zero problems with this van and I have had it for a year now. The traction control works very well in snow. I recommend this vehicle.

Wifes car had several Chrysler minivans starting with the infamous 2.2L. This is the worst of the bunch. Less than 5000 miles from new. A/C stopped working, can't get key out half the time,several dead batteries, brakes are sqeaking,rides like crap,14 MPG in town,rubber peice on rear bumper warped have to push it down to open rear door.Would loose $5000 if traded in.Never/ever buy a Chrysler/Dodge product.......

First noticed the A/C doesn't work, then the headlights turned off at night while driving, and now we are loosing power to the engine while driving. We quickly have to hit the hazards and restart the car and hope no one hits us from behind. Our only savior has been the radar detector, which beeps out of control right before the car is about to stall out. Not safe or reliable, so we’re stuck paying for a “Lemon” that we can’t even drive. Also have had issues with the "Automatic" door not closing & U-Connect was replaced. What lousy craftsmanship, it just goes to show American companies don’t care about the American public or their safety. We will never buy American made again-lesson learned.

We have an '08 Ltd. This is the 2nd Town & Country we've owned. We still have our '97 T & C with 153000 miles on it with very few problems. The '08 T & C has been a dream to own. The dealer is great and we have had no problems with the van.

I am sorry I ever bought this minivan. It was advertised by Chrysler to have power mirrors included as standard equipment, and it came without them. Chrysler will not install the mirrors at no cost to us, although it was advertised by Chrysler LLC.When I contacted Chrysler, (3 times) about no power mirrors, they told me it is the dealerships problem, however, the dealership and I agree, and we know it is Chrysler that is at fault. Chrysler will do nothing to remedy this problem, and I filed a BBB on the Chrysler LLC CO. and Chrysler would not even respond to this complaint. The body has an annoying rattle, and when you slow down to make a stop, it is audible. Also fluttering sound occurs.

Major Repairs under 27,000 Miles

Transmission blew with 13,000 miles of use just west of Atlanta during our 4th July weekend. We initially had problems start July 1st on the way to FL. Lee Chrysler Ft. Walton Bch, FL. said nothing was wrong and lied about the computer not having error codes about the engine. Georgia dealership found the codes that Lee Chrysler forgot to clear. Georgia dealership replaced the transmission. At around 26,000 miles the gear shift became difficult to shift down to drive. Local dealership changed the entire gear box. When my wife returned home the gear shift knob came off. Had to be towed in again. DONT BUY A CHRYSLER!

We have only had this vehicle since October 2008 and it is now broke down in our driveway. It was already in the shop once and they could not figure out what was wrong with it and now when we put it into drive it went in reverse. It has to have some type of serious transmission issues. This is only the 2nd American made car I have bought and it is looking like I will be buying Toyota from now on. I am extremely frustrated.

Owned two other T&C Lmtds, 2000 & 1996. Waited 8 yrs to replace last one, loved it, had a hard time letting it go at 136,000+ miles and MANY memorable, comfortable family trips, but rebates were hard to pass up. Within first week, back in shop for vibration over 60 mph-shop balanced tires, still vibrates. Rumbles, shudders at times when in park; jerks forward with rolling stops. Compared to previous T&C vans: cheap plastic, leather and cloth mixed in places, uncomfortable rear seats, cheap hard "leather" steering wheel, stiffness, feel the bumps, increasing highway wind noise the longer I drive it, poor window tinting design everywhere. Middle console slides into floor storage doors.

So, I traded in my Toyota Sienna to help the US economy and bought a Town and Country. Are you kidding me??? After 3 months and 2500 miles the following has already needed to be repaired. 1) Alignment was way off. 2) Gear shifter replaced (well not yet it is on back order!)Broken AND squeaks 3) Driver's side window regualtor. 4) Ignition modules with 2 keys. Key got stuck and could not remove. First one broke 5)Replaced and relubed hubcaps due to excessive noise. How am I supposed to feel for my family's safety?? What next? I am trading this piece of junk in for a Sienna. Oh, in case you are wondering, I bought this in November 08 for 20k after rebates...trade in value 2/08 13k!

This mini van is wonderful! We were deciding between the Honda and the T & C. I'm thrilled with our choice! While I think the Honda may drive better, the price for this can't be beat! Honda was almost $6,000 more expensive and we didn't get nearly as many "perks." The dual DVD, power doors (including the rear) and the space inside can't be beat. The Honda did not feel nearly as spacious and there weren't as many little places to put things. The inside of the car is very comfortable and easy to get around in. The back up camera is great. The option for the lifetime warranty is a good deal if you plan on keeping it for a long time. This is a great car at an amazing price, this is it!

This is our 2nd Chrysler product (1st was '02 Dodge Grand Caravan). The T&C has a very weak engine. Our old van was quicker with the same engine (3.8L). Our 2nd choice, the Odyssey, is much more impressive in the fun-to- drive factor as minivans go. The styling of the T&C is too blocky for my tastes. However, the T&C is all about what's on the inside. The dual DVDs, hard drive, and satellite radio made our 600+ mile trip to Myrtle Beach very pleasurable. The ride is very comfortable. The fit and finish is a little disappointing. The front door does not quite line up with the rear door, which is noticeable from the side mirror while driving. Overall a great value for the money.

Not sure I should have bought it...

Took delivery 11/08 and right off the bat the back up camera did not function. I felt the dealership was trying to deny anything was ever wrong, but sure enough Took on a trip to CA, rattling in the front, where the window and dash meet. Only happens when traveling over 60 miles an hour, but intermittently. Have had only one follow up phone call from the sales guy to see how things are going. Very disappointing to me. I had looked at the Toyota Sienna, but it was $5000 more in price with the same equipment. Should I have spent the extra for a better vehicle? Time will tell.

I never was a fan of American car, but..

I never though I would lease Chrysler but I leased two mini vans one in 2006 and another in 2008. 2008 van is so far the luxuriest with stow & go, leather, DVD etc. Odometer clocked 21500 miles, no trouble. One surprise for me is front brake pads worn out totally at 20000 miles. one recall for radiator fix. Other than that, I have very pleasant experience with this car. consistently good mileage on highway (26.5) and local around 18mpg. With AC, playstation 2, radio I think that is a good mileage.

Runs great, has really amazing pickup and go, I really like the improvement in the tranny's more than anything because our `98 Grandcaravan that we traded in, it's tranny was garbage even though it was a 4-speed but the new 6-speed is awesome. Overall, I completely satisfied with this van.

I bought this vehicle for my wife in May of 2008. Better gas mileage, haven't seen it yet. 3 months old and approx. 3,000 miles radio would lock up. Chrysler replaced radio. 1000 miles later radio did the same and transmission was leaking. Chrysler said that they could not replicate the radio and that they just tighten the trans. pan. They wanted it to happen and let them see the problem. They said then that the software may be bad then. But wanted to wait and see what happens. Now while driving at night, at 11800 miles, all electrical flashes off, including headlights. Scaried to drive it now. Won't buy this product again. Family vehicle or family death trap?

I love this van but when I stomp on the gas the engine whines and then slowly boosts like a turbo. I've owned a 1998 Grand Caravan with 310,000 miles on it and I never had to service it. With this crap I'am taking it in weekly. I should have a reserved parking stall at the dealer when I take in for servicing. It's comfortable riding

We bought ours in the first week of Jan. 2008. Now having driven the car 14000+ miles I have had nothing but problems. It was reliable for the first 8 mos and then after than I started having multiple electrical problems, dashboard blackout, no volume on radio, door failure, remote failure, no heat in the dead of WI winter and no automatic functions on electrical. Things would spontaneously correct after either stopping and restarting the vehicle or after two or three hours of letting it sit and restarting again. We had the new ignition module put in and problems are now worse. I am currently waiting on a second tow. I used to love this car, but have lost my confidence in its reliability.

This piece of junk! Thank is all I can say. This was my first brand new vehicle. I was and am so disappointed in the van. Everything breaks on it! The life time transmission well thank god for life time you will need it! Ours has been in the shop 8 times for the transmission, 2 times for plastic snapping off of the seats, 4 times for the squeek in the front, 1 for engine light, oh! lets not forget if you happen to scrape the bottom in the front skirt there is a clip (plastic no less) that holds the front bumper to the side panels that will break. That will cost $500 and a body shop..2 times for the alarm not working. I hate this van!Save your money!

We traded in a 2005 300 Limited and we thought it was going to be hard to find a car that would drive, ride, and have the things we wanted to enjoy trips in but the new 2008 Chrysler T&C Limited we think is by far the best car we have ever owned. Talk about fuel economy, 28 on a trip.18-19 around town. There isn't any foreign car or van that I think would compare to this van all around. I also like the idea my money is staying here in the USA. We need it .This van has enought room to bring everything we need to FL for our winter months.

Is it a lemon or is it the dealership?
