[@SpcIsrael]

I have a 2010, I dont have those problems. I have brake problems w/ pad and rotor replacement.

[@nenedecaramelo]

I had a 1997 model T & C LXi since 2003. Going into 200k, it was passing coolant through the exhaust. Other than that, it was the usual maintenance. I had to sell it in 2020, and I chocked as I saw it leave for the last time. Our kids grew in it trips into Mexico to see beaches volcanoes and pyramids in the summers, the grand canyon, San Francisco and Vegas. I'll never forget my van.

[@NamasteTexas]

I just got my first one and it's a 2015. And so far I love it. It's so comfortable.

[@Hemidakota]

@@NamasteTexas I have 2015. What I don't like is the road noise. Compared to the latest Pacifica, noise cancellers work to minimize noise levels. Even the wife's Ram is super quiet. The rest? Love the mini (6th purchase).

[@vinloy23]

One of the best presenters is this guy at 1A Auto. I suggest ATF service [pan drop and filter] in the mid 80,000 miles range at the latest. Thereafter, 60,000 miles if you keep the van. The oil filter housing problem emanates from overtightening the filter cap. With proper care, these vans are very reliable.

[@tinoarreguin8850]

I have 114000 miles on mine with just basic oil changes and regular maintenance.

[@SlayerofFiction]

I gotta say as a long time Mopar guy this minivan has made me hate Dodge. Nickle and dime with small crap going wrong with it (if you count the clock spring going out causing the brakes to lock up at random times minor). A local Stealership has not helped matters at all. I will never own another Dodge, they can go to hell.

[@dougschmidt4137]

Vin One gentleman! Of the 08-14 Dodge/chrysler can you recommend a particular yr/ motor size? I am looking to purchase one!

[@nothanks1627]

@@dougschmidt4137 I would suggest 2011 and newer. You get one engine option, the 3.6l pentastar which is a solid motor. Look for the HD brake model, and maintain the transmission as recommended. Overall these vans are great vehicles. Better enjoyed if you possess moderate mechanical abilities no doubt.

[@tinoarreguin8850]

Wow, what did you do to get that many miles? You should tell Scott Kilmer.

[@katyatx]

Had the issue with the window. Now I’m worried I’ll have the other issues. Had transmission service at around 80k miles. I’m on 108k mikes and love this van. It’s a smooth ride and so practical. Easy to empty the seats to move bigger items.

[@Hemidakota]

Exactly. Even a Rolls Royce has issues. 1] Driver seat (electrical) and longevity with the booster support wearing out; 2] the Japanese tranny is plain trash, 2nd T&C and noted the same problems again; 3] suspension shocks need to be replaced under 100k miles, fit and finished on panels, still an issue during this time frame (merger of unequal MB/Chrysler). However, this is my sixth minivan. Why do I love this mini? STOW-n-GO, and it will go 300K miles.

[@checkyoursix5623]

My 2014 T&C Limited was purchased with 35K off a lease in 12/15. No major gripes. Replaced spark plugs, serpentine belt, and serviced transmission at 100K. It does everything I want it to do, with minimal fuss. Been to California, been to Arizona, been to Utah, been to Wyoming, been to Maine a couple of times, been to Florida a couple of times, and back and forth to many places. Change the oil & filter, and the other filters (air & cabin) per maintenance schedule, brakes and tires when you need to, and you'll do all right. Now at 160K, hope to keep it goin' for at least another year - maybe two.

[@DKLGalactus5]

Actually the Chrysler town and country was a great mini van I took many trips with my family and my kids with their friends it lasted 234 thousand miles had a fantastic ride great sound system, I totally loved it.

[@ajwoodworking6408]

Our '14 Town & Country rolled over 200,000 miles this summer. I recently replaced the oil filter cover, had the timing done by our mechanic, and I'll be replacing the struts and sway bars myself very soon. Buying the parts from 1A of course.

[@Pacmanny14]

Hey AJ, that is so awesome. have you come across a cylinder 1 misfire code P301? Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanx.

[@honeybadgeractual5734]

@@Pacmanny14 i did recently in our 2008 4.0l TnC, it was actually a strange situation. i spent a lot of time google searching why id find oil in the plug hole when i pulled the coil off the plug. plugs were in good condition, but the ignition coil on 1 of them was soaked with oil. after some searching i found out at higher mileage the down tubes which are pressed and glued in, tend to lose seal if they are even a tiny bit wobbly. hoping that wasnt the case, we replaced the coil and had the exact same issue about 3000 miles later, same down tube, ruined a new coil. so we got the upper seal kit, and put that in, put in another new coil, and dr0ve it tgat way till it started to have the same issue again P3 code indicating a misfire/no-spark, same cylinder, so i finally relented and did the down tube repair. so i very very carefully extracted the down tube with a set of thin and long needle-nose, gently wiggling it until it came all the way out, it was finger loose at first and could be wiggled easily, but wouldnt fully release. once i got it out, i used a wet/dry vac, amd some brake cleaner to blast the oils away, and suck them away from the spark plug hole. then applied a small amount of full cure (not the Kwik set stuff) JB Weld, once the JB weld was curing with the tube in place we put the plug and all the stuff back in... BEFORE doing that, make sure you dont have excess JB weld near the plug hole or that plug becomes permenant to the engine HA HA. now she runs good, just gotta fix the transmission sticking into limp mode and shes running like new again.

[@jbone1383]

[@RobCabreraCh]

I own one and it has been really solid in its 8 years and 300k+ miles. I have replaced a few parts here and there, but it had two big issues. The first one is that the transmission always has a big thump feeling when it's cold or too hot (it's been that way since it was brand new). And the second one is the TIPM fuse box. The TIPM fuse box grounded the van for about 6 months because it just didn't want to turn on and we didn't know if there was a problem with the fuel pump or the ignition motor. Turns out it was the fuel pump relay that is not serviceable on the TIPM. A brand new one was way too expensive, and the solution was a very simple jumper cable between a couple of fuses. It also kept blowing fuses whenever we tried to adjust the seats, and we solved that with a slightly higher rated fuse. Even though the solutions were simple, it's pretty annoying when you can't use your car for half a year due to a very small electrical malfunction. All in all, it has been pretty solid, specially for how much mileage we put on it.

[@joelporozynski]

Any ideas where to find reliable info on which fuses to jumper for this?

[@RobCabreraCh]

@@joelporozynski There is a specific part you can buy online to do it safely. They offer three models, one is a simple cable for testing, the other is a little PCB (that is the one I have), and the last one offers a number of options that may or may not be important to you. If you google TIPM fuel pump relay solutions, you can find a number of stores that fabricate and sell them, along with a lot of information of why the problem happens, and how to solve it. In my six month long journey, the van was kind of working for the first three, it just took a while for ignition to happen. After that, the van couldn't turn on at all, and I began my investigation then. I actually found the problem pretty quick after a google search and some testing. I then ordered the part I needed, and FedEx lost it the first time. That was the main problem on why the van was grounded for so long. I got tired of waiting and straight up ordered another one, and that solved it for me. I haven't had any issues since then, and that happened about 3 years ago. www.verticalvisions.com/tipm-plug-in-fuel-pump-power-bypass-test-system-lite.html This is the part I bought, and the instructions I used.

Drive a 2015 T/C with 130K. Still loving this van. I’ve done routine oil (filter) changes and on 3rd set of tire, 2nd set of brakes.. No major maintenance issues (knocking on wood). Still often question if the engine is running when in idle (very quiet). Bought this van to do longer road trips for Big10 volleyball , ACC football and family trips from Ky to FL or LA. Our family and friends never complain as the ride and seating is comfortable. Still getting 24 mpg on road trips. Besides transmission shifting hard on hills, I can’t and won’t complain.

[@patricksquires77]

This sucker is pretty reliable over all if willing to give overlook superficial things like seat cracks and seat trim breaking. Ours is 13 years old and have had the front links replaced and rear AC fail. We capped the rear ac for 200 bucks and survive fine off the front AC. The oil weeps just a bit where he shows in this vid but not enough to drip or be a mess. Synthetic oil and still running strong on almost entirely original parts. Impressive.

[@animegirl2245]

I bought a 2010 Town and country and at first it ran smooth but i did notice the transmission was shifting a bit rough. Thanks for the tips

[@calbob750]

As an owner of a 2014 from new, I purchased the Chrysler Maximum Lifetime Warranty based on ownership of other Chrysler minivans.The oil filter leak is EXPENSIVE. Over $600. Don’t forget corrosion on the hood (aluminum). This may or may not get fixed free based on FCA TSB. Check with more than one dealer.

[@saleens330]

I serviced our 2015 at 50K miles. New fluid and filter. Had shifting issues at 75K and they said it needed a reflash. Drive better. At 94K it has a bad shutter. It seems 2-3 break on it each year. A friend that has a 15 just had the engine replaced at 100K miles.

[@Ken-mf6fs]

81000 miles. No lifter or rocker arm problems (use 5/w30 oil). And trans shifts good as new. I add friction modifier twice a year. Recently replaced rotors all the way around along with the front wheel bearings. If the 3.6 is maintained properly (5000 mile oil changes. Filters etc…) plan on a trouble free experience.

[@philliphunt9376]

Notorious issue with this vehicle is the Y connector for the heater hose for the front and rear heater cores This Y connector assembly is $100 from Chrysler but can be obtained from auto parts store for less than $10. Connector is directly behind the engine on the right side. The Y itself develops pin hole leaks . My 2010 Town and Country has 225K miles and I have NEVER changed the transmission fluid and it is like pulling teeth to get any dealer to even check the "dipstick free" transmission . I figure it is gonna happen sometime and a $3k rebuild is still better than making car payments. I had the regulator cable fail on the drivers window and a radiator replacement and an alternator that would not charge. I got a good one!!!

[@1AAuto]

+Phillip Hunt Thanks for the feedback!

[@stangcbr1]

Haha. Yes the pinhole leak! I had the same problem on a 2006 Mountaineer. I did the $10 Y connector replacement in that car and kept having leaking. I ended up buying the whole assembly with the wife’s van and have had no problems.

[@TenderKiss86]

Found this video bc my window fell off the track lol Thanks for the info

[@lm3049]

I got to 100k miles and had to replace the transmission. I’m glad you mentioned the AC. I’m having that issue. One little nit, the Chrysler symbol came off the back hatch and dealership said no way to fix it 😦. I have a 2013 T&C. I do love it. It’s pretty much fully loaded as I always purchase the demo car. It’s sorta new but not because it has mileage and dealerships need to get them off the lot after a certain amount of time. I’ve had it for 7 years now. But it is TERRIBLE in the snow!

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

@LM , These dam Chrysler dealerships and most mechanics never tell people to change change transmission fluid like 50,000 to 70,000 miles like they should. They want people to miss it and break down so Chrysler, Dodge can make much more $$$$ from it. Past 7 years now, every mechanic told me not to replace spark plug wires, spark plugs etc....I just did it. Now my 2010 Caravan drives like a brand new now. But 1st Caravan I had back in late 1980s, everything breaks down on that one like every week.

[@charlesriley4937]

[@TSgtBauer]

Amazing, you just covered 3 out of the 5 problems i've had.

[@perrymckinney6146]

The sliding doors would open at random a while after driving at 60 mph. Chrysler says there's no known problem. Dealer couldn't find the problem, they wanted to fix it by disconnecting the door motors. Nothing but problems, full of squeaks and rattles, the interior was solid plastic. Just cheaply built, 3 months after buying it, the transmission started acting up, dealer replaced transmission, a month later it has tyranny problems again, slipping in 2nd gear. Ac would blow 70 degree air, was told nothing wrong. The keyless ignition module failed, was replaced, a week later I'm stranded with it, keyless module failed again, now it needs another module at $3000, and tipm needs replaced, I traded off the junk pile and got a nice ford, the Ford performed flawlessly for 6 years, way more comfortable than the chrysler junk. Every Chrysler I've had was junk full of problems. I traded the van off, the guy who bought the van got killed after the ignition module failed on a busy highway.

[@airbornesoldieramerica7125]

My experiance with Chrysler and Dodge is that they are a joke and their products are made to break down on purpose. Only reason on why I have an 2010 Caravan now, cause it was passed down to me. If it did not belong to a close family member, I would of never bought it, or buy 1 like it. But do admit, Chrysler and Dodge does have some nice body styles on many of their cars and trucks, on probably only very few good things I can say on their product.

Love my van most miles is highway lots of trips.... regular oil changes tires etc. I have had the airbag light coming off and on. Warning light on radio display saying it's to hot this is new have to troubleshoot.

[@joemascolino4231]

I had a 2013 Dodge caravan, now we just bought a 2014 T&C and the driver window was faulty, up and down when it wanted. Easy fix. Then thermostat went, dealership wanted $475, Mopar part was $31. Plus always get the proper coolant. We went with Prestone 50/50. Total cost was $45.00 start too finish 2 hours and that was running full on heaters as we topped up coolant and check engine temperature.

[@melissabarnum2422]

I had a 2011 T&C Touring L. Biggest piece of garbage I’ve ever owned. Bought it with 84,000 miles and traded it in at 112,000. Transmission problems, control module problems, alternator problems, exhaust system problems. Traded it in for a Honda Odyssey. So far, I’m glad I did.

[@davidp8627]

Seems more a Honda Odyssey being traded in for a T&C story. Chrysler transmissions are bulletproof compared to any Honda transmission attached to a V6 or V8.

[@willfixthingsfordonuts]

A few other common problems that I have personally repaired on 2 Caravans are the heater core splitter hoses (dorman makes an upgraded replacement) Hub failures, pinched harness under the driver seat causing an airbag light, because the harness is too close to the backstop and will cut into the harness eventually.

[@lightningsmokerXx]

Window regulator went out on my 2012, driver side. Window went down but never came back up. Turns out that the glass repair companies don't have regulators in stock or even order them. Local parts chains carry the cheap junk. So I bought an OEM regulator myself and found a glass repair shop that supplied the new window and fixed it all at a fair price. Meanwhile I had to drive around with clear Gorilla Tape as a window for a few days.

[@gramps9838]

LMBO, Our 2013 Chrysler Town & country's Ac just started blowing not so cold air. blowing out 61 degrees in 100 degree weather from the front vents at an idle. The rear unit blows only ambient temp. I see where this will end up as the possible cause. Also Rattling from front drivers side started at the same time... What luck! Most likely one of the 2 front end items you spoke of. Keeping our fingers crossed on the window LOL. The van has had a very small oil leak on the drivers side , nothing big just a nuisance drip now & then. Now I know where that issue is possibly coming from . 99K on the old girl, too soon to "put it out to pasture" lol.

Just finished replacing the serpentine and tensioner on 2011 minivan but notice the belt moved one grove towards engine at the crank shaft pulley but when I realigned belt on the crankshaft the belt move away from the engine at the power steering pulley.

[@CornPopsDood]

The window regulator is a pretty easy fix. Took about a hour, maybe hour fifteen to do it all. If the the regulator you’re gonna hear that cable snap, & the window will be stuck somewhere, but you’ll still hear a buzz when you try to engage the motor, do not burn it out. If it’s the motor, the window will be stuck in its last position, & you’ll hear nothing when hitting switch. Kinda like listening for the fuel pump to prime before a start. It’s not loud, but it’s there. Although, most will say do the motor, & the regulator, I’ve yet to have a motor fail doing two separate regulators in one. It’s cheaper to buy them together usually, but I just got the motors saved if I need them down the road. If you’ve got slow windows, & you’ve taken care of the window tracks then I’d go ahead with a motor too. Hitting the switch up & down fast repeatedly, or playing “footsies” with the windows from different seats is about the best way to get yourself into doing this job quick. The regulator is basically two side beams that make a “X” across the door, meeting at the motor gear point. You tangle that line, or put any kind of tension it shouldn’t have, it’s twirling up. Getting it untangle, & free is really the longest part of the job. Yes, the whole panel, speaker, & switches has to come out, but it’s like 20 screws & some push pin connections. Don’t pay 140-180 in labor alone for a window. & dear lord don’t trust your window to just some cheap ass tape. Tape it with whatever you have In absurd amounts, & shim that damn thing. It falls when it’s unhooked that’s another 2/300 gone.

[@humbertohernandez6702]

This was our only FAMILY minivan. We have a 2014 with 180k miles. It was replaced with A 2019 Tahoe. I kept this minivan as a winter car and a backup to my truck. I keep seets down and can even haul my kayake inside with the gate tied down. What I hate is a foul stench when I use the fan ?

EVAP system has nothing to do with AC...EVAP is fuel vapor handling system...your comment about AC not blowing cold because of EVAP makes zero sense...

Ugh just bought a 2008 4.0l with 227k miles for 1900, cel came on giving a transmission temp sensor error. Bought it out of desperation since my 04 just crapped out due an electrical issue

[@sundippatel1688]

The main problem is all the plastic pieces on the engine. Thankfully dorman make aluminum options. I replaced the coolant crossover, the timing cover, the thermostat housing, and the oil cooler. All aluminum. Wish they had aluminum valve cover but maybe some day

Transmission fluid and Filter needs to be done every 30k. Period. 62TE trans do not like dirty fluid. Chrysler builds them to last 100k w/o a service and that’s exactly what you’ll get

[@sspacil]

Next time you change your trans filter get a new trans pan that has a drain plug, Dorman makes one for around $40.00. Then when you change your engine oil you can drain about 4 quarts of transmission fluid and replace it with fresh fluid, essentially flushing your transmission every 3rd or 4th engine oil change. This is especially good in hotter climates, areas with lots of hills/mountains, or if you are a heavy footed driver.

[@davidp8627]

@@sspacil No flush is ever a true flush without doing a complete flush. Your method will always have dirty fluid, never get the worst dirt and debris out, and the fluid will not have the optimal viscosity given 3/4 of it has always been subject to getting hot and cold. You should leave everything up to professionals given your obvious ignorance and incompetence.

I can confirm…I’ve had every one of those issues in My town and country

I have a 2011 town and country and the rear washer nozzle only runs a river or washer fluid instead of spraying. How do I fix. Do you have a video

Clean debris out of the tiny holes in the nozzle assembly.

I'm looking for help my horn just keeps going off while I drive while it's parked and I don't know how to take the cover off the steering wheel

I have a 3.8 town and country limited 2005. I have had the transmission fluid changed 1 time in 120,000 miles, and no problems. What I do want to Warn Everyone! Is I spent about 3500 at Ntb, had new tires, struts and brakes,everything's do with the braking system and front end. I would drive it home 45 miles and I would smell the brakes burning. It got so bad after they had it for a week and they fixed it 3 more times telling me they couldn't find anything else wrong. My brother researched it. I was too afraid to drive it! As long as I didn't go down a hill and had to use the brake's maybe it would be ok. One day I had no brakes and the van acted like the brakes were stuck! And burning. I had to have it towed to a regular tire store. My brother stayed on the phone with me and said tell them to change the hoses, I had to get new brakes and 2 new rotters just to be sure. The hoses were Never changed by Ntb. They were so clogged up it's like sucking through a straw with frozen ice cream. I called Ntb and got well we're sorry but its been 2 year's, and I drove less then 3000 miles in 2 year's afraid to drive down any hills. I told them what was found and what I had to do. I kept telling Ntb the whole time something else is wrong. I told them to keep the van and drive it down a hill, drive it a week go down the mountain from where they were. It's not Colo but a southern state. Again I was told they drove it around the parking lot! And didn't find anything. After the hoses were changed I have had zero problems. So have the hoses changed often or checked. Ntb has now in my experience less then ---0 stars.

I wish you would have done #6 TIPM failure. This is an expensive and common repair of which Chrysler has lost class action lawsuits for this TIPM in other cars... Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Caravan/Dorango. It has caused excessive starting problems. Repairs run$1,800 with a few places offering mail in repairs.

Completely shocked the TIPM wasn’t listed.

Blowing only cold air what's the problem? Voyager RT year 2014.. Thanks for advices

[@JeffByrd-ko8ow]

What about the TIPM? We have been having issues such as automatic high beams not working, then high beams coming on not staying on, driver side heated seat intermittently working, sliding door stopped working, a window stopped working, got pulled over for a brake light being out only to order a bulb then see it was actually working. Could this all be due to TIPM?

[@erictucker98]

Airbag light randomly illuminating during driving and vent door for the front drivers side letting in cold air in winter.
