2007 Chrysler Town & Country Review: Among The Best Years For The High-Quality Minivan

Jul 16, 2022

The 2007 Chrysler Town & Country lasts around 200,000 miles with only some minor engine and fuel problems. At $3,616 to $4,489, it’s a great value for a spacious van.

The Good

The Stow ‘N Go seating works very well, the cabin is quiet and the suspension is smooth.

The Bad

The standard engine is weak, safety features found on other vans like stability control are not available and the ownership costs are higher than average.

Is the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country a Good Used Van?

Yes, 2007 is a good year. Owner reviews like the passenger room, long-lasting engines, and stereo system.
Interior materials are better than many other minivans with luxurious leather and wood dash trims available, but the technology is outdated.
Reliability ratings are above average. Models from 2006-2007 are both good, with a spike in complaints in 2008.
Performance is average for both of the V6 engines available.
The Town & Country is a very safe minivan, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is okay, getting up to 19 MPG combined.

Positive Owner Reviews

James S

It has less than 100,000 miles on it and the cost to repair is very inexpensive

The car is roomy it has good fuel efficiency is reasonably insurable and very trustworthy

Anne B

Low maintenance vehicle and ease of handling

Love my Town & Country. 2nd one I've owned. The only problem is the high rust. Love the stew and go seats. Motor has over 180k and needed only regular wear and tear maintenance.

Stacy B

If you treat it right it will last as long as you need it to!

I only wish my van had the button at the rear hatch to close it. I love everything else about it. I am the only owner of it and 250,000 + miles it is still going strong!

Charity M

It's a great vehicle for families.

I love all the room inside. I love how it is on gas. It drives really well. There is not anything I dislike.

Kristin B

Good gas mileage. Even though mine is adapted it can hold 6 passengers. If it had a middle seat probably 8.

I love this vehicle. It has been adapted to an wheelchair accessible vehicle. It performs well, some of the accessible features are starting to not work as properly the first time you push the button on the key fob. All the normal care features work wonderfully still. It gets good mileage and does long trips well.

Susan B

It is perfect for a large family.

I haven't had to do repairs other than regular servicing. It is perfect size for my family. I love the smooth ride.

Olivia R

A minivan with all capabilities I need, the fold away seats are awesome.

The vehicle has lasted so long and is my all time favorite. I love the stow-and-go, and the seats that fold down to make more room for things like wood and anything you need to haul. The only problems are as a result of old age, but I've gone 260, 000 and she's still going! The power steering has something wrong so I'll have to get that checked out but it drives fine and gets me where I need to go.

Bill C

It gets good gas mileage so it is good for road trips

It fits the whole family and it is good on gas. It is also comfortable on long trips

Negative Owner Reviews

Stephanie P

Do not buy this van. You will have nothing but problems.

You have to put a lot of money in these van's. The need a lot of maintenance. As soon as u fix one thing another problem happens.

Adam E

Just an awfully bad van. With bad break line.

It is a gas hog. It is more trouble than what it is worth. I wish vans had better gas mileage. I want to trade it in for a better car. The battery is weak. Break line is awful. It has 10,000 other problems. I wish Chrysler made a better van. You get what you pay for.

Alicia E

Till you find a the car you're looking for

Has a lot of miles and wear and tear. Needs tires, a starter. Was just a hand me down car in the process of getting a new one

sara h

Not worth the price, will definitely not purchase in future

Sucks wish I didn't buy it, but I owe too much money on it to do anything about it

Leah D

Pretty good minivan 10 years or younger

Vehicle worked very well the first 10 years. After that it has been in steady decline. The fuel pump and the air conditioning have been steady issues. Compared to newer vehicles, it does not have many features. Just power windows. The tires were differently if proper rotation is not done.

Kerri N

Nothing but expensive problems

Both back Electric doors have stopped working. Rear electric door has stopped working. The transmission has went out twice. The catalytic converter is going out. It has been expensive problem after problem. The navigation can no longer be updated so it has become worthless.

Ki K

Reliability, fuel economy and a large size for the whole family to travel in

Too weak an engine. Bad fuel economy. Outdated style.

Tiffany D

2007 Chrysler town and country.

I bought my 2007 van used in 2014. At first I was very excited to have more space for my kids, but about 6 months into owning it we had to replace many things. Including the engine which was still under 100,000 miles. The drivers window stopped rolling down as well as the drivers side passenger door will not open automatically. After we have poured a lot of money into fixing these problems the van runs decent, though I always wonder what will be next to break. Though I do have to say that I enjoy the space in the van and the fact that the seats fold down into the floorboard. We have been able to fit dressers, beds and so much more inside the van to move.

What Do Critics Say About the Town & Country?

Consumer Reports says the Town & Country rides well and handles securely, but has lower owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds rates the Town & Country 3.7/5, liking the fold flat seating, but disliking the weak brakes.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Town & Country 4/5 and enjoy the premium interior, but dislike that the side windows only pop open.

What Common Problems Does the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Have?

The common problems found on the 2007 Town & Country include unintended acceleration, stalling engines, and worn-out interior lighting.

Unintended acceleration is the most common complaint from owners showing up at around 25,000 miles. The source of the problem is usually with the throttle body, which gets stuck open and costs around $500 to replace.

Stalling engines are another issue reported by owners at around 90,000 miles. The problem is usually caused by a failing fuel pump, which costs about $900 to replace depending on local labor rates.

Worn out interior lighting shows up on many vans in the first 100,000 miles. The bulbs burn out for the overhead lighting unit and have to be replaced, fortunately it’s cheap and only costs about $8 per bulb.

There are 2 relatively minor recalls covering the headlights and seat motor, which are not much of a concern once they’ve been replaced.

How Long Will the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Last?

A properly maintained 2007 Town & Country should last around 200,000 miles, which is 100,000 miles less than top competitors like the Toyota Sienna. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other minivans, at $417 per year, according to Repair Pal.

Megan D

It's very reliable. Mine has 280k miles on it and still runs great. Repair have been minor. In my case the air conditioning compressor needed to be replaced.

Joy J

It is pretty reliable, but the automatic passenger doors must be manually locked and unlocked and the carpeting on the roof has had to be replaced.

R L

During a rainstorm I ran over a tree trunk and it damage the underneath of the minivan. It never got fixed right. The a.C and the heater are not working. Also the windshield fluid is not hold any fluids and it did before.

Diana P

As of right now I have never had any issues besides the alarm not functioning well. Which was due to the key having low battery.

Victor R

It is very reliable. Mine has the stow away seats and they come really handy when you have to move stuff around. It is also an economical vehicle.

Dave S

The only real problem we have had, other than routine maintenance has been with the body. There is extensive rust on the sides.

Tiffanh P

The problem I experience frequently is that if you fill the gas up all the way(18 gallons) it starts chug and has even sputtered out on me once in a intersection. Many times after filling up, I have to rev the engine frequently if sitting still for any amount of time.

Gabrielle C

The front AC turns off most of the time and the fan won't push air out, the back AC works just fine and the rear control works perfectly too. The engine jumps sometimes when hitting the gas or brakes.

How Much Is the 2007 Chrysler Town & Country Worth?

Blue book values range from $3,616 to $4,489, making the Town & Country thousands cheaper than a Honda Odyssey or Kia Sedona. When new, the price range was $25,645 to $39,095. Depreciation is similar to rivals, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Town & Country?

There are four models of the 2007 Town & Country available. Technology was last updated in 2005, and there’s a complete redesign for the van in 2008.

Base is the entry-level model with:

15-Inch Steel Wheels
Cloth Seating
Power Locks & Windows
4-Speaker AM/FM/CD Stereo System

LX is a step up adding:

Stow ‘n Go Fold Flat Seating
Power Exterior Mirrors
Second Row Captain’s Chairs
More Interior Storage

What Engines Come In the Town & Country?

The base engine is an average 3.3L V6 with 170 horsepower, which gets up to 19 MPG combined.
An available upgrade is the slightly more powerful 3.8L V6, which makes 200 horsepower and gets up to 18 MPG combined. Performance is boring, taking 9.6 seconds to go 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Town & Country Come In?

How Big Is the Town & Country?

The 2007 Chrysler Town & Country is an average minivan, similar in size to rivals including the Nissan Quest and Chevrolet Uplander. Passenger space is fantastic throughout the cabin, with plenty of room for adults in all three rows of seating.

Cargo space is great, offering 23.5 cubic feet of room behind the third row, 72 cubic feet behind the second, and up to 129 cubic feet of space behind the first row.

How Does the Town & Country Compare to the Competition?

The Toyota Sienna is a popular competitor costing about $2,500 more. Technology and power are both better in the Sienna, but the Town & Country has a more luxurious interior. We recommend the Sienna, since there are fewer complaints from owners.

The Dodge Grand Caravan is another rival in the same price range. Both vans are built on the same platform, but the Town & Country has a higher quality interior. We recommend the Town & Country since you get more technology and a better suspension for the same cost.

Do Owners Recommend the Chrysler Town & Country?

Megan D

Yes. Very reliable. I especially love the convertible seats for my kids and their friends or for great finds at estate sales.

Joy J

Yes. Absolutely. We bought ours a little used, so the automatic doors have had to be fixed, and we have to manually lock and unlock them now due to wear and tear.

R L

Yes, we have had it for over 10 years and it has not given us any trouble. It has over 166,000 miles. The sliding doors sometime works and sometime it does not work. The underneath of the minivan is torn up from going over a tree during a heavy rain storm.

Diana P

Yes, it is perfect for a big family. It is also great for grocery shopping. It has a lot of leg room and lots of cup holders.

Victor R

Yes it's very reliable, it is very spacious and good on gas. I've had several of this minivans and they usually last along time with minimal mechanical issues.

Dave S

Yes it is. It has stow and go seats. Lots of leg room and lots. Of storage accessible through the hatch back.

Tiffanh P

In general, I would say the Chrysler town and country lx is a good vehicle. However, I am unsure if there are a few issues overall with this model or if my particular vehicle is a lemon. I have had the power window regulators on both passenger sides go out. The air conditioner does not blow out of all the rear air ducts unless on rear control. The heat doesn't blow out of 2 of the rear air ducts. Also, the flashers come on anytime the side doors are opened which is very odd.

Tiffany H

Yes. It seats 7 people comfortably. Has a surprisingly large amount of space in the trunk. AC in front messes up and doesn't work most of the time, back AC works fine. Drives smooth

2007 Town and Country

My 2007 Chrysler has 196000 miles and still runs very well. The problems I have had with it are the air conditioning for the rear and too much rust , which is a problem for all Chryslers had that year and I think Chrysler new that was going to happen. My mechanic said that the3.8L 6 is a very good one, so I am going to buy a newer one.

Donny M on April 1, 2021

It is a good car in general. Does not give you so much problem.

Its reliable. The only thing is it's not very good in the winter do to bad tires. And it's not all wheel drive just front wheel.

Becky C on March 31, 2021

I would recommend as a great family vehicle.

The automatic doors stopped working within months of purchasing the vehicle. Overall though we've had minimal problems with the car. It is 11 years old and has about 150, 000 miles. We did have to replace the radiator as it had a crack in it but that is the biggest issue we've experienced. We change the oil every three months and replace tires as needed.

Jesse H on March 30, 2021

My van is 11 years old and is still a decent car that can carry 7 people. It's a fun vehicle to be in.

I like the space of the minivan. I like that it can hold 7 people. The model is old so the parts are a bit rusty and I'm not sure how long it will last.

shelly g on March 27, 2021

It isn't for everyone, but I really like it. I'm a "get you from here to there" car person but this is a great vehicle for me.

We bought it used a couple years ago to replace our 2002 Dodge Caravan. It is a very comfortable vehicle and we were able to pay cash for it. I wish it got better gas mileage and the windshield wipers (the actual functioning wipers, not the replaceable blades) are not great.

James S on March 18, 2021

Holds its value strong resale market.

Roomy,fuel efficiency,dependable, parts are easy to find and repairs are reasonable. Can use regular gas or e85.

Katie P on March 4, 2021

It is very reliable and simple to understand.

I enjoy the ease of driving and ability to transport all of my children and pets in one vehicle with plenty of space for them and storage.

Tiffany D on March 3, 2021

2007 Chrysler town and country.

Heather W on March 3, 2021

The best family vehicle out on the road!

The navigation system doesn't necessarily work. The check engine light comes on once in awhile. Egr valve is screwy. Alternator makes noises. Was a good price. Love that it has heated seats and DVD player for family. It is spacious enough to hold family of 6. Has 6 CD changer and satellite radio.

Brandon C on February 23, 2021

Its reliable and a great family vehicle.

Love the fact its flex fuel, so it can take ethanol which is cheaper than gasoline. Love the interior and layout of the seats. Works great for a big family.

karen h on February 17, 2021

Low Cost Maintenance, 100,000 miles with few repairs

We've travelled more than 100,000 miles in this vehicle and it has required very few repairs. Lots of room to carry whatever we might need. Easy to drive.

Roy S on February 15, 2021

Heavy rust thru all around the auto.

Like that it is easy to drive. Do not like that there is rust thru all around the car. Do not like air conditioning problems.

Amy M on February 14, 2021

Runs and runs and long as it is taken care of.

Very reliable vehicle. At 100k miles we have had to lots of minor repairs to most systems to keep it running smooth. We take it in about once a year and have to spend $600-$1000. I would have preferred trade it in by now not to deal with repairs, but is still cheaper than another car payment.

Amelia G on February 6, 2021

It's very comfortable for long road trips yet it's still efficient for running errands.

It gets decent gas mileage. I can take 7 people (including driver) and still have room. Seats stow for hauling cargo. I don't like the image of "soccer mom", and parking can be a little more challenging than with a compact car.

Roger W on January 27, 2021

It is great car. It is 6th one we have owned scene 1996.

It is easy to get in and out of. It is very comfortable. It get reasonable gas mileage.

Rae S on January 27, 2021

A great van to use for getting around with all the bells and whistles.

Very practical, second row of seats can be hidden in the floor when not using, plenty of cup holders, place for your glasses, electrical buttons to open window and doors, remote control unlocks and locks doors, plenty of room to put whatever, and the air can be adjusted for the back of the car in the middle ceiling. Also the rear side windows open.

Tracy B on January 26, 2021

It is a must have for a family of 5.

I like that there is room for my whole family. Room for any items we need to take with us without crowding everyone. It's easy to get in and out of.

Walter C on January 19, 2021

2007 Chrysler town and country fan.

Dependable, comfortable to drive, great features. Plenty of room, convenient for all activities, appreciate the height of the vehicle.

Robert M on January 18, 2021

There is no one most important thing. The combination of features that it offers, I like, except for the poor gas mileage.

Love the dependability, ride, comfort, but I hate the gas mileage. It also has 3 rows of seats, which is more comfortable for my kids.

George L on January 17, 2021

It drives great and it looks nice.

I like the comfort.? Like size. I like the economy. I do not like the towing capacity. I like the way it looks.

James A on January 17, 2021

It is fairly reliable, but not a car I would ever buy again.

It is getting old. It has quirky power doors. I like that it is dependable. It has a quiet, smooth ride.

Lindsay R on January 3, 2021

Great family van. Great purchase.

Drives nice and get good gas mileage. Nice and roomy for the passengers. Kids love the CD player for movies. The stow and go provides tons of storage space, especially for beach trips! Very easy to change the seat positions when you want to put up or take down the third row.

Jessica W on December 30, 2020

A lot of room and seats go into the floor, color is grey

I bought my van used with very few miles on it. Never really had to fix anything on it just the general, tune ups and oil changes. I mostly will buy a never of this make and model when my old in goes out.

Loretta K on December 24, 2020

I love the fact that my van has room the hole family. I like that not old car.

Dislike has to many miles on it. I love the fact it has room for all the kids. It's a newer vehicle I've only owned older cars.

Bill C on December 21, 2020

It is very economical on fuel and maintenance.

It is great for long trips because it is comfortable and it is also great on gas. It also fits the whole family.

K T on December 20, 2020

Holds value and large cargo area

Fold down rear seats. Good gas mileage. Good styling.

Mons K on December 13, 2020

Its a awesome van. I am due for a new one doe. .

It's a good vehicle. . I love it. Runs great has a lot of room. I love the way the seats in the middle go down underneath the van.

sara h on December 5, 2020

Not worth the price, will definitely not purchase in future

Sucks wish I didn't buy it, but I owe too much money on it to do anything about it

Nik D on December 3, 2020

One of many or how I learned to live with a sunroof.

I own this because it is functional. I intend to put 20 thousand more mile on it{has 100 thou}. It has lifter issues and grv issues{light is on} I cannot remove the unit because it has welded itself to the block and I believe too much torque on it would snap the bolt off and I am screwed. I take the accessible half of the grv, steel brush it and reattach; last about a week and light returns. Corrosion builds on negative battery terminal, causing battery to drain from non contact. Seems to be a Chrysler problem, . Two of my friends have Chryslers about same year, same problem. Ford, no problem. My Chevy truck, no problem. Van is'07, truck is'03. I. Bought the van because it had sunroof. Used to have ragtops, 6, found there is less effort associated with sunroof. I really enjoy my 6 + 1 CD player. I like my music- oldies. I have vending route so van is necessary. The rest is 4 wheels and something to steer with.

Bret A on November 29, 2020

It has room enough to haul up too seven people with comfort and they can get out of the vehicle with ease

This vehicle is very versatile,and comfortable, i am able to travel with up to seven people, and when I need to haul cargo I can hid the seats down and have plenty of room to haul the cargo and keep it dry unlike a pick up truck

Jenna P on November 27, 2020

Overall great family vehicle. Looking for comfort and storage then this is it.

I drive a used 2007 Chrysler Town and Country. I purchased this vehicle after having two brand new leased vehicles. I wasn't thrilled with the idea of going back to a used vehicle. This by far was the best decision I have made. This is a great family vehicle. Lots of room to ride comfortably and be able to store all our stuff.

Bob F on November 26, 2020

It's very dependable and has been of great use to me

Nothing, this has been a great vehicle for me and my family to use

Chris W on November 11, 2020

The seats have storage under them or can fold flat to haul large items.

Solid ride for the price. The seating set up in great! All the back seats fold flat for moving large things. It is a little underpowered for the size. Has had a bunch of issues with electrical, I.E. The dash would light up, power locks and doors on sometimes work, and the CD player and radio would cut in and out.

Lucas g on November 8, 2020

Good suspension performance stability in gasoline the whole family we left together because it is very spacious

Reliable very stable gasoline performance fails in air conditioned but of rest very comfortable familiar good capacity trunk

Amanda S on November 6, 2020

A family friendly vehicle.

Good gas mileage. Plenty of interior space. Back seats fold down so you have plenty of space for hauling things. One downside is when you accelerate the van kind of lunges. Easy steering and braking. Excellent handling except when the wind blows it dances all over the road.

Stephanie T on November 6, 2020

It's very roomy and runs great even though it's old

It's 11 years old and still runs great. It has plenty of room. I don't have any complaints or dislikes.

Marie B on November 4, 2020

Pretty much no rust on the body. I also wish that the sliding door buttons would still be working.

I like that it has the doors on both sides. I like that we don't have to have much upkeep. The back doors and button to sliding doors don't always work and the arm on the back window sticks

Susan S on November 4, 2020

A great combination of durability, reliability, class, and value!

I was hesitant to get a minivan at first, but have not regretted the purchase of my Chrysler Town and Country! The vehicle is reliable, durable, rugged, yet classy. It has ample interior space. The stow-and-go seating is a frequently-used and very helpful feature. The gas mileage is good. It actually does well handling even winter driving conditions. The ride is smooth and quiet. The visibility is good. Problems include the rear wiper blade frequently getting stuck, and sometimes, the electronic doors malfunctioning. I wish that the center console was more geared to holding things more effectively, and also wish the blower vents were larger.

Kerri N on November 1, 2020

Nothing but expensive problems

Bill C on October 28, 2020

This is why I like my minivan.

I like the minivan because I can remove the back seats and I can haul a lot of stuff inside and out of the weather unlike a pickup truck. With the seats in the van I can transport 7 passengers and with the v6 engine it does not lose any power when fully loaded.

Brian J on October 25, 2020

Long lasting, durable vehicle that lasts years and years -- and over 200,000 miles

The vehicle is very old, but it has held up well. It has over 200,000 miles on it but still runs. It's not very fancy and is showing some wear both inside and out, but it gets us where we need to go just fine. At this point, we are just going to keep using it until it dies rather than put any more money into it.

Tonia B on October 25, 2020

It functions. It is paid off and still drives us where we need to go.

It's not a bad car. It has some cosmetic issues. It also has an oil leak. It's not quite big enough for my needs right now. I need at least an additional seat.

Faye s on October 18, 2020

The car gets great gas mileage on the freeway and is fun to drive.

It is perfect for shopping. My car gets great gas mileage. My car is comfortable on long drives.

Andrew O on October 18, 2020

What at great van for a road trip!

I was given this minivan by my friend who bought himself another vehicle. I have ridden in it from the time they took it off of the lot. There really has been no issues. They took very good care of it and it is great for doing anything that we needed it to. From fishing and moving folks. To large monthly shopping vacations.

Stephanie P on October 17, 2020

Do not buy this van. You will have nothing but problems.

You have to put a lot of money in these van's. The need a lot of maintenance. As soon as u fix one thing another problem happens.

Butler M on September 29, 2020

Love my car

I am not complaining about my vehicle love it. People should buy American cars. I am very happy I been telling people about my car and also I will buy another Chrysler in the feature people should search more about American cars so you do not have to spend money and they are good quality.

Kristina B on September 28, 2020

Great family van or company vehicle.

I have owned this car for a little over two years. I have had no major issues with the van. I love to hidden storage compartments. The DVD player is a blessing with our two children. We have driven the van to South Carolina from Tennessee twice. Been on lots of weekend trips. Seats are very comfortable and leather is easy to clean.

David H on September 28, 2020

Great for going on vacation as the seats fold into floor

It is for touring and is very comfortable the captain chairs fold into bottom of vehicle so does the rear seats then great for cargo space also great for vacations!!!!

M A on September 21, 2020

Our Chrysler Town and Country has been reliable mostly even over 150,000 miles

It is not my dream car but it fits our family. It also gets us to where we need to go.

Mary H on September 20, 2020

Great family car - even after the kids are grown.

No problems. I love the heated seats and entertainment system. I use the stow and go all the time. I do not have to choose whether to carry passengers or gear. I can carry a 4x8 sheet of plywood with no problem. The grown kids make cracks about it being a minivan, but they are always borrowing it. The GPS is expensive to update, in excess of $250. I use a Garmin (which has lifetime map upgrade) or google (on my phone) instead.
