What are some issues with the Chrysler Town and Country?
In the past the Chrysler Town and Country has seen some issues. That doesn't mean that it’s an unreliable car in the slightest. Some of the issues you can find are with the climate system, paint and trim, brakes, and the oil pump. Despite those potential issues, drivers have said to Kelley Blue Book that they “found the vehicle's comfort and styling to be its strongest features.” When mixed with our expertise, you’ll leave with a well-rounded vehicle.
While the Town and Country was discontinued in 2016, there’s still a want for them, which is why we feel like you should be well informed. Taking a closer look at the issues, some owners reported that the climate system would leak refrigerant, while it may not be a big deal to some, if you’re from the south, you know that AC is a must in the summer months.
The paint and trim issues are self explanatory, and while they pose no threat to the overall integrity of the vehicle, we know you want to ride around in style.
Are there any Safety Concerns from the Chrysler Town and Country?
The brakes are another story, these are a vital part for you and your vehicle's safety. Some owners reported problems with the calipers, premature wear for both the rotor and pads, as well as an outright failure of the brakes. If the brakes were to fail during operation, that could lead to a catastrophic outcome.
The problem with the oil pump could lead to some unseen issues and overtime could render the vehicle inoperable. When this issue is present, it would make the oil pump stop working at random times, and when this happens your vehicle can’t cool properly, overtime causing more wear on the engine.
