2001 Chrysler Town and Country LX 3.8L from North America

Summary:

Good value and great comfort

Faults:

Rear power door had intermittent problems.

At 100k miles, the AC has problems.

Rear coolant lines rusted out at 80k miles.

General Comments:

Great car overall. Very nice ride and pretty quiet. You cannot beat this car for overall value, comfort and reliability.

The large engine can tow a decent trailer with little problems. Good gas mileage for a car this size (21 MPG on freeway).

Wish it had sliding rear windows!

2001 Chrysler Town and Country V6 from North America

Summary:

A comfortable and reliable vehicle with annoying quirks that don't affect performance

Faults:

Weather stripping is falling off the driver's side slider door.

The fuel gauge is indicating empty after a fill up as the fuel light flashes on and off.

A belt squeaks badly after getting wet or damp.

Slider doors are scratchy rather than smooth when opening them.

Brakes seem to need frequent service.

General Comments:

The minivan drives like a car and has not left me stranded. This is important since I have infant twins I transport in this vehicle.

Gas is killer. Now that gas is over $3.00 a gallon, I'm spending $60 per week for 140-155 miles travel. That's 20 mpg.

The standard power equipment is nice and comfortable.

Leg room is a little tight for my 6.25 foot tall husband. The babies' car seat takes about 2 inches from the full setback of the front seat.

I have to disagree with the person about their mom's 2001 CT&C. I have one and the transmission just went out. I've also had constant problems with my brakes. My air conditioner went out last summer. I agree, Chrysler's transmissions are lemons! BTW, it's going to cost me $1,400 to rebuild the transmission. And yes, my transmission started out slipping too!

2001 Chrysler Town and Country LXi 3.8 V6 from North America

Summary:

Neutral

Faults:

Water-pump and all the pipes had to be repaired at 93.000. Garage replaced them with proper hoses instead of rust-prone pipes. Drive belt replaced at 93.000. AC gave way this summer. Will have to get it repaired next spring (1300 Dollars estimate). Electrical tailgate opener does not work anymore, motor is 'tired'. Programming of auto door locks had to be redone.

General Comments:

Despite of the little (and larger like the AC) things that go wrong with it this is a seriously comfortable car. It has plenty of power, but a fuel consumption to match it. The kids love it. The auto-doors, the video system, extremely comfortable seats, excellent stereo. Luckily it does not have to take too many corners, because it does not do so very well. With family coming over from Europe all the time it is good value for money for us.

About 10K km onwards now.

The problem with the AC was the condenser. After everything was fixed the bill was about 600 dollars canadian, that was a relief. No extra costs on the car since that.

Summary:

I'd never buy another one

Faults:

Battery drains after sitting idle for a day or 2 and the dealer can't figure out what's wrong with it.

General Comments:

This car is a lemon if ever there was one. Unfortunately, we didn't realize it until we'd had it past the lemon law expiration date. It's been in the shop at least 8 times, once they thought they'd fixed it by rewiring the VCR, but 3 months later it started dying again.

Buy something else. No matter how nice the car is, it doesn't do you any good if you can't get it out of the garage!

I have the same problem with my 2001 T&C Ltd. After sitting for a day or so there is not enough power to start it, though we just replaced the battery with a top of the line one. It always starts with a jump from our other car, though, and never has a problem starting within 12-18 hours of the last start. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
