Chrysler Town and country problems

chrysler logo

The Chrysler Town & Country is a minivan that was manufactured and marketed by Chrysler from 1990 to the 2016 model years. The third Chrysler minivan introduced in North America, the Town & Country adopted its nameplate from the flagship Chrysler station wagon line, adopting its exterior woodgrain trim as a design feature for several generations.

Marketed as the flagship of the Chrysler minivan line, five generations of the Town & Country were slotted above the extended-wheelbase Dodge Grand Caravan and Plymouth Grand Voyager. For 2017, Chrysler retired the nameplate, with sixth-generation Chrysler-division minivans becoming the Chrysler Pacifica. After the 2016 model year, Chrysler marked the sale of its 12 millionth minivan (under all three nameplates). Produced almost continuously for 75 years (with the exception of World War II and 1989), the Town & Country nameplate is the longest-produced Chrysler; its longevity is second only to the Chevrolet Suburban in worldwide automotive history.

Chrysler assembled the first three generations of the model line in its Saint Louis Assembly facility (Fenton, Missouri). The fourth and fifth-generation Town & Country were produced by Chrysler Canada by Windsor Assembly (Windsor, Ontario).

Latest negative Chrysler Town and country car reviews

  1. Selmer Welch 2025-05-28

    Vehicle year: 1997

    This is a lemon. I've been experiencing a buzzing sound on the driver's side when driving at 50mph, and despite bringing it to the dealer multiple times, they haven't been able to find the problem. Unfortunately, the noise is too difficult to hear on the freeway. It's frustrating to have to bring it in every 3 months for various issues, and so far, the dealer has already changed the 3 sensors, pump, master cylinder, lock spring assembly, and tension spring. I'm starting to wonder what could be next?

    The reliability of the vehicle has been extremely poor. Despite experiencing transmission problems at 4500 km's, which have still not been resolved at 14,000 km's, Chrysler has refused to stand by their warranty and provide the necessary repairs. This has left me feeling extremely dissatisfied with the quality of the vehicle and the lack of support from Chrysler. As a result, I will be pursuing compensation through the arbitration board.

    Hi there! I wanted to share my experience with my van. It has only 33,000 miles on it and I recently had the rear brakes and rotors replaced for $500. I did have some electrical issues in the past where the ignition needed to be replaced, but it worked fine for a while. Unfortunately, I have a new problem where the van just shuts off while driving. It has happened twice so far and it's really concerning because even the steering stops working. I've also had some trouble with the sliding doors opening unexpectedly, which is definitely a design flaw. Overall, I'm really disappointed with my Chrysler and I don't think I'll be buying from them again. I wish I could afford to get rid of it now because it doesn't feel safe to drive.

    This is our fifth Chrysler mini van because it provides a comfortable ride and ample space. While the mileage may be disappointing, we highly recommend purchasing a power train extended warranty. We have had to replace our transmission twice, but overall we have been satisfied with our purchase.

    From the start, I had problems with that car. One thing after another... from major issues such as the AC condenser needing replacement to minor problems such as the mirror falling off while driving, I was at the garage monthly during the first year. I don't know why I didn't sell it right there. I kept hoping things would improve, but they never did.

    There are only two gears, forward and reverse, and the transmission options are limited to Park, Neutral, Reverse, and Drive. Unfortunately, there are no lower gears to assist in braking when driving downhill. During a recent family trip to Pagosa Springs in southern Colorado, we encountered this issue while driving over Wolf Creek pass on Hi-Way 160. I was unable to shift to a lower gear when descending from the pass, so I had to ride the brakes to keep the speed down. This caused the brakes to overheat, resulting in a loud rumbling noise each time they were applied. Although this is not necessarily a steep decline and is a well-used highway, I was very concerned and will try to avoid Colorado mountain roads while driving this vehicle in the future. However, I have now learned how to downshift. By tapping the gear selector to the left while in the 'Drive' position, I can downshift, and to upshift back to drive, I tap to the right. It is amazing that I did not know this feature even after researching the web and the driver's manual. Overall, I like the van, but I wish the NAV system was better, much like the Jeep Nav and phone system.

    Hi there! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We purchased our 1999 T&C with 40k miles on it back in Feb. 2000 and have been fortunate enough to have put over 68k miles on it without any issues. While we have noticed that the fuel economy could be better, averaging around 18mpg on the freeway and 15mpg around town, we have found the AWD and traction control to be incredibly helpful in snowy conditions. In fact, it has even outperformed our 4x4 Chevy truck in most situations. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with us!

    Hi there! Around 2.5 years ago, I purchased my lxi with 82000 miles on it. Just last week, I sold it with 171000 miles and I'm happy to say that the original engine and transmission were still working perfectly. Everything was in great condition!

    I've owned five Town and Country vehicles and with each upgrade, they have improved the vehicle. I absolutely love the Stow 'n Go seats and the flexibility they provide, making it the best choice in my opinion. The automatic lift gate is also a great feature, especially during rainy weather. Before purchasing this vehicle, I test drove both the Sienna and Odyssey, but I found that the Chrysler had more power and better long-term quality. A friend's four-year-old Odyssey rattled like a freight train, but none of my Town and Country vehicles did that.

    Your car sounds amazing! It's only been 6 months and you've already put 10,000 miles on it, but it still feels brand new. It's great to hear that you haven't had any problems with it so far. The design is so classy and it sounds like it's perfect for your family of six. The 3.3 liter V6 provides more than enough power and good gas mileage. It's also great to hear that the sound system is decent. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. As for the Honda reviews, everyone has their own preferences and experiences, so it's important to do your own research and make the best decision for you and your family.
