Blower motor complaint but satisfied
Regular maintenance can be done easily, accepting a badly engineered fan blower motor, meaning way too d difficult to access. Has been made better in newer models.

Awesome unit for price. Made well with tough parts. Total trustworthy machine.
Transfer intake power module is the only thing I have had a major problem with. The tip. Heat quit working several years ago( air conditioning compressor) too expensive to fix. But I only drive it in warm weather. So it is not a problem. This vehicle is a die hard vehicle. I love my minivan! Inherited it. Mother loved too. Brought to move my daughter to penn state for college. Served it purpose and then some. Trips all over America! Mother loved gambling. She tried to hit every casino in USA. All round awesome buy in a vehicle. 100% recommended.

It's a great family car and is very safe and reliable.
It's convenient to get kids in and out. There's lots of space in the back for groceries or luggage. It drives well and is very reliable.
accountCircle Stephen G
Highlights of the. Town and country. Good riding, comfortable, smooth riding.
Air conditioning does not work. Had it fixed but stop shortly after fixed. Trim sticks up and makes noise. Other then that it has been a good operating vehicle, good gas mileage. Comfortable riding. Love the backup camera, very reliable. Would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

I love my van. People should buy one.
The transmission is having issues but other than that it is a very reliable vehicle. I would recommend it for a individual.
accountCircle Cathleen W
I would highly recommend this vehicle to everyone.
Our town and country is great, we bought it used and had held up wonderfully. The only major problem is the motor for the front passenger window. It is starting to go out, so we have a bit of trouble closing it. Other than that we haven't had any major issues with our vehicle.

I guess the one thing that you should really know about my car is that it's been a great vehicle and held up for almost 250,000 miles with very little maintenance
I am very happy with how well my vehicle has held up, I have almost 250,000 miles on it and I've done very little work to keep it running.. It is very comfortable and a great car for someone with a family or even someone who just likes to travel because it's comfortable and easy to ride in long distances. The only thing I wish would be a little different is that it would get better gas mileage, but it does get very good mileage for being a minivan.

It doesn't have any air vents in the back.
There are no air vents in the back seat for kids, the sliding doors stopped working, not enough room, I like bigger SUVs, my ac compressor had to be replaced along with some other mechanical problems and it is getting way too expensive. It does however have 192, 000 miles on it.
accountCircle gaetano c
It sucks! It is uncomfortable and is designed to serve itself it seems. It is very not user friendly.
I hate this vehicle! I like nothing about it. It was made for someone who is a**l. It is too long to park and lumbers like a school bus. It guzzles gas and constantly breaks down and also gets alot of flats. The inside is very uncomfortable and if you drop something on the floor , it disappears forever!
accountCircle Sandra T
' Chrysler's need to reassess their transmissions.
The is the 3rd Chrysler that I've owned and I've had nothing but problems with it. The transmission has had problems in all three which leads me to believe that Chrysler's have transmission issues. Also, it is bad on gas in town. I've also noticed when I have one mechanical issue multiple other things break down at the same time
accountCircle Lillian F
It does not have heat for the winter months. Very cold to drive.
I just drive it when I have to. It does not have heat in it for the winter. Nor does it have ac for the summer. I don't like driving it but it has great gas mileage.
accountCircle Mike C
Heated seats are nice, but the AC doesn't work.
Bought it brand new, recalls from Day 1 on brakes wearing out fast. Chugs gas, it is comfortable and does have heated seats. You have to change the breaks at least 5 times a year, due to its recall problem but the company would t allow a trade in or anything of the sort.
accountCircle Val N
No oomph. It is small. It does have the wireless capability.
Quality of materials are inferior. Mechanical issues and rust. Potential safety issues with sliding doors and trunk failing to open..... Comfortable ride..
accountCircle Mega R
I like my van and even though it has it issues, my van gets me from A to B
Has vacuum leak. Needs water pump. Needs gas tank. I like that it starts Every Time. I like my van.
accountCircle Heather A
It has removable seats and lots of space
I like that the van is large enough for my family. I do not like that it uses a lot more gas than I would like and I would prefer to have a truck.

Great family vehicle that is great on gas!
I like my vehicle because its spacious and fits my family. I have a 2 car seats and 2 booster seats that have to be installed so I think it works for us. Also its not bad on gas. I can fill my tank and it lasts almost the whole week. It is also good on highway miles as well.

My 2002 Chrysler Town & Country is spacious for myself and my two young children
My 2002 Chrysler Town & Country is very roomy and spacious for my me, my two young children, and there's still open seats for friends and family. I don't believe my vehicle is good on gas and the miles per gallon is lower than that of newer models. With routine maintenance, my vehicle is perfect. However if routine maintenance is lightly managed, this vehicle is a hassle. I maintain routine maintenance but breakdowns and roadside assistance has been necessary. Recently my float in my gas tank went out and it will cost an arm and a leg to fix; due to location of the float, cost of parts, and the time needed to fix the float. My AC has also gone out and ended up being a high bill! Test after test to see what the issue was, I eventually went broke and live with the windows down on hot days! If given the option, I would not purchase this particular vehicle but a newer model perhaps.

Overall, the vehicle has been good. Of course, there are things that brake & need attention but I have no complaints.

This is my 1st time owning a van. I Do like that it has 3 rows of seats but not the cargo area not a lot of room back there. I really haven't had any issues with my van since I got it

How Reliable Is The 2002 Chrysler Town & Country?

Currently, there are no problems, As soon as something isn't working right, it goes to the shop. My CD player has quit working, but that is a minor problem.

My van does seem reliable to me, it gets me where I need to go and I haven't had any major problems with my van other than regular maintenance
