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. Rowan Leannon 2025-08-21

    Vehicle year: 2008

    Hi there! I noticed that another reviewer mentioned having to replace the rear brakes twice with only 43,000 miles on the vehicle. It seems like there have been some electrical problems as well, including an issue with the starter that is currently on back order. I hope everything keeps running smoothly until the part comes in! I also wanted to mention that the button used to change gears has broken twice, but unfortunately, it's considered cosmetic under the extended warranty plan and is no longer covered. Lastly, I understand that repairing the front headlight cost $300 and took four hours. Thanks for sharing your experience!

    Since the purchase of my T&C mini van, I have noticed that the oil level is consistently low after riding approximately 2000 miles. Despite bringing this to the attention of the dealer from day one, the issue has persisted. They have attempted to solve the problem by looking for leaks and replacing various parts, including a pump and some valves. However, after my warranty expired, they suggested that I replace a major engine component. While I believe that this issue should still be covered under warranty, the dealer has refused to do so. In 2011, I had to replace the catalytic converter in order to pass inspection, and in 2012, the engine light came on again for the same issue, which required another replacement. Unfortunately, it is now 2014 and the issue still persists, preventing the vehicle from passing inspection.

    I recently purchased the T&C for its luxurious leather, ample seating, and kid-friendly features. It comfortably seats 7 and has many cool features, including heated seats and cupholders. However, I have experienced some reliability issues, such as needing to replace my transmission three times and my compressor being shot. Additionally, I have had to replace my front brake pads six times, rotors three times, and calipers once. The power sliding door has also failed twice and the rear door has disconnected three times. While these issues have been frustrating and costly, I still appreciate the comfortable and convenient features of the car. I have learned from my experience and will consider other options in the future.

    I recently purchased this car and put new tires on it, as well as changing the oil. Now it rides great and runs pretty well. It's really cute and fun to drive. Plus, I can still afford to buy a new engine if this one fails.

    This vehicle offers great value for money. Dodge/Chrysler has perfected the van and with each new model, they add features that make it even better. For example, there are plenty of USB ports, which is perfect for long trips when everyone needs to charge their phones. There are at least 2 in the back seat and 3 up front, maybe even more. If you remove and/or tuck in the seats, there is no reason for a suburbanite to get a truck. It's amazing what fits in there. The only downsides are that the interior materials look cheap and the Bluetooth can be a bit tricky to figure out. We've paired two phones about 10 times in 2 months and still can't figure out why they won't stay connected.

    I bought my 2001 Chrysler Town and Country two years ago on an online owner-to-buyer site for around $500. It was quite a steal! My family and I were originally looking for an older 4-cylinder rusted Toyota truck or Honda, but we stumbled upon this gem. The family who sold it to us were incredibly honest, although a bit hesitant to look under the hood for any potential issues. We did find a few problems, such as a rat's nest in the air filter compartment and a clogged EGR valve, but these were easy fixes. We replaced the Exhaust Recirculation Valve for $85, but we could have cleaned the existing one for free. We also took the heads off to clean out the carbon in the valve compartments and cleared the coolant passageways of rust with a product from Ace. The AC compressor clutch was also replaced for around $100, which eliminated the squeaking from the serpentine belt. This car is incredibly smooth on the highway and I love driving it to clear my head or listen to tapes for my academic degree. I've read some negative reviews about this car, but I wonder if the competition spends time on these forums. The 2001 model is smaller in the back by about six to eight inches, which makes it super cute. One review even said it looks more like an SUV than a van. I'm not sure why they changed the design after 2003. Overall, the 2001, 2002, and 2003 models are really great vans, while the 2005 and 2006 models are even better according to reviews. However, the 2007 and 2010 models have some surprises that can be disappointing. Despite this, there are many Chrysler Town and Country vans with low miles because the people who drive them are careful and appreciate good design. There are some issues with the rear wiper, but overall, I'm very happy with my purchase!The owner mentioned that the left sliding door may not work reliably. However, the long distance ride is quite comfortable, almost like riding on a train. If you live in a big city and park in tight spaces, a mini van may not be the best option for you. But if you're a fan of mini vans, I would highly recommend taking these generations for a test drive and review. It's worth noting that many have been repainted, but the original paints tend to look better if you have the option to choose.

    We bought this minivan used with 118,000 miles on it and it has been incredibly reliable. The only issue we had was with the power steering reservoir, which we replaced. Even in the harsh winters of North Dakota, it always started without needing to be plugged in. Now, with 235,000 miles on it, it's still going strong. If you're looking for a vehicle that will give you your money's worth, this is definitely the minivan for you!

    Only about 75,000 miles now and I'm happy to report that the only thing that needed replacing prematurely was the starter at about 42,000 miles. I was able to replace the front brake pads at 28,000 miles and the back shoes at 55,000 miles myself, so it didn't cost me much. The starter only cost me $115 with a lifetime warranty and the ceramic pads were less than $50. I also changed the transmission filter at 55,000 miles, replaced the tires and battery after 8 years, and replaced the anti-freeze and belt. I'm still using the same plugs and fuel mileage just keeps getting better year after year. I'm now getting 18+ mpg in the city and up to 25mpg on the highway.

    You're going to love this! I've been the only owner of this car for over 4 years and it has been incredibly reliable. The stow and go seat system is super convenient, making it easy to move even 22 years worth of stuff with the low tailgate floor and high clearance of the tailgate door. The sliding passenger doors are also a great help. I've taken my 3 adult-sized kids and their friends on many trips and they absolutely love it! It's so comfortable and spacious.
