2007 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 3.8 from North America

Summary:

Unacceptable

Faults:

Brakes failed very early, 12-15 k, way too early in my opinion.

It had problems with the tranny very early, same time period, has been repaired under warranty at the dealer, but now we are over 36k and feel it's just a time bomb.

The EGR valve went at 37 k.

Assisted side doors work when they wanted for a while, now one works, one doesn't.

Most of all, as it nears 40 k miles, it seems worn out rather than broken in.

The power and fuel economy ratio are very askew for today's technology. We average well under 17 MPG.

General Comments:

We have had many of these over the years and our last two, an '03 and an '07, have been the worst.

We will not be returning to Chrysler for any more vehicles.

2007 Chrysler Town and Country Touring 3.8 from North America

Summary:

Chrysler has done a wonderful job on this van. I would recommend it to anyone

Faults:

No problems so far.

After a hard rain, the belt slips and no power steering; clears up after a few revs, not a problem.

General Comments:

Chrysler vans are so versatile. I use this van to transport my powerchair; with lift, it's added 500 pounds. The van didn't come with load leveling, so I tried to get airbag helper springs for the rear suspension, not available for the 2007, so I installed heavy duty "jounce bumpers", too rough of a ride. I finally installed air shocks with remote compressor and controls. Works great!

This van is very comfortable, versatile, and of all things for a van, utility! Just not sport. Being disabled, I need something reliable, and this has been so far.

2007 Chrysler Town and Country Touring Stow and Go 3.8V6 from North America

Summary:

Great family van, but it can be problematic

Faults:

Problem free.

General Comments:

This is our second Town and Country. Our 2002 was the LX model. When my wife and I got rid of it, it had 81000 miles on it. At first, we really loved it. But a year before we got rid of it, it had a few problems with it, not too major of a variety. This 2007 is a far cry from that. Certainly hope that this one does not give us major.

Our silver touring model is nicer than the 2002, and is more modernized than the 2002. Ours has the leather seats, the entertainment package, the power liftgate, and the power doors, and the top of the line audio system in it. It is fully loaded.

We really love this one a lot. The seats are couch like comfy. Our kids really like it, too. So does our doggie. We only use it mainly for family trips to the New Jersey shore and for trips to the supermarket. The stow and go seating is tremendous!! We have to give Chrysler lots of credit for creating the feature in their minivans. It is way more easier than removing the second row seats. We had to remove the second row seats and the third row seats from our 2002 model, which was awful. This one? Just stow the second row seats, put the third row seats in the floor, and presto!! You got loads of cargo space. Why didn't Chrysler think about this feature when they redesigned the minivan back in 2001?

Again, we really love it for now. Just hope that it does not do what our 2002 did by causing us problems. Until then, we will keep it, and keep up on its maintenance.

It is a great family minivan, and great for the family road trips to say Disney World or anywhere that you would go on family road trips.

I'm not understanding the "but can be problematic" part? Are you talking about your 2002 or your 2007?

"problematic" statement is obviously referring to the 2002 (but for reasons unknown it was posted to a review of the 2007).
