2013 Chrysler Town & Country Review: Upscale Minivan With Enough Room For A Large Family

Sep 16, 2022

The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country lasts around 200,000 miles with only some average computer & cabin noise issues. At $11,675 to $13,963 it’s a great value if you’re in the market for a luxurious minivan.

The Good

Leather seating is standard across the lineup, its V6 engine offers excellent power and the rear seat entertainment system works well.

The Bad

There’s more engine noise than other minivans, suspension is softer than average and repair costs are higher than competitors.

Is the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country a Good Used Minivan?

Overall Rating 7/10 – 2013 is a good year for the Town & Country, yet it’s only average compared to other minivans that offer better reliability. Owner reviews praise the luxurious interior, lots of cargo space, and good entertainment system.
Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – Interior materials are more luxurious than other minivans with high quality leathers, the seats are comfortable, and cargo space is great.
Reliability 6/10 – The 2013 model is better than they were before, however, there are still some computer issues. Avoid models from 2010–2012 with engine problems, and go with a 2013-2016 which are more reliable.
Performance 7/10 – The standard V6 engine offers good power for a minivan, although it’s not very exciting to drive.
Safety 7/10 – The Town & Country gets a 4-star overall rating in government crash tests with 4 stars in the frontal crash and 5 in side impact. Standard safety features include a rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross path detection.
Gas Mileage 7/10 – Fuel economy is average for a minivan at 20 MPG, which should get owners about 400 miles of range out of the 20 gallon gas tank. Gas costs are $15 lower than average at $241 per month.
Value 7/10 – The 2013 Town & Country is a decent value, if you can find a low-mileage example, more problems start to show up as these minivans age.

Stow and go seating allows seating to be tucked in, allowing more cargo space.

The ride quality is excellent and having a built in DVD player for the kids has been a lifesaver. Stow and go seating allows room for large cargo if needed. Taking long road trips from New York to Florida and back was very comfortable. We were able to fit everyone in comfortably and still had room for our luggage.

Evelyn S

People should know it has a large gas tank and gets pretty good gas mileage for a minivan.

I love all the space it has. I love the automatic doors. I love the amount of room between seats when they are all up. I dislike how the front bumper is lower than an SUV.

2013 Chrysler Town & Country

I love my Town & Country. It drives really well. I am able to get in and out of parking spots really well with the back up cameras. The stow and go seats are perfect.

Michelle A

In love with a van-room for all, and memories that last a lifetime.

I own a Chrysler town and country minivan. I love my van. It currently has over 100,000 miles on it. I drive it over 60 miles a day. The leather seats add comfort to my drive. My seat is adjustable to fit my needs. I especially like the support for my lower back that I am able to adjust at the touch of a button. The steering is great. I always feel in control of the vehicle. The hands free controls on the steering wheel allow me to keep my hands on the wheel while managing music, vehicle info, volume, and,cruise control. The DVD player with a pull down screen for passengers in the back is great. Especially with 4 kiddos I transport everyday. The DVD player with wireless headphone was very helpful on our 14 hour drive one summer. The van is spacious and if needed you can even store items in the store and go parts of the van which again very helpful when you're traveling with a family of six. The set latches for car seats makes it easy to install and I sure child safety. I also really enjoy the option to lock the windows and put on child safety locks. The trunk space is amazing for hauling groceries, sporting equipment, luggage etc. The middle counsel between the two front seats opens up for more storage space. The automatic sliding doors are great especially when your loading a car and your hands are full trying to keep kids safe and carry you purchases. I love my van. I even told my husband when the time comes I want the exact same van!

Hayley C

Awesome vehicle great features.

There is no problems, it runs and drives good. I like the satellite radio and the built in backup camera. It also comes with a TV. It rides smooth and does not have any noises coming from it. I just bought it a few months ago and haven't had any problems with it yet. The seats are very comfortable and go down into the floor which calls for extra space when traveling.

Michelle W

I bought this van because of the passenger size due to I have 5 grandkids, then fell in love with all the features like tv, sliding doors, remote start, stow n go storage, power everything just to name a few....

Smooth ride with luxury features at a great price!

Melody W

Happy mom of 2 who highly recommends this Minivan

My Town and Country has all electrical locks and windows, including an easy open rear. It has a small flashlight that is charged by the car that sits in the rear. I have plenty of cup holders for all rows. The seats are easy to put down or pull up. This particular vehicle has a dvd player which is nice for long road trips.As well as a backup cam. So far I have owned the vehicle for about 1.5 years and have noticed its has a pretty good gas mileage both for city and highway driving.

Crystal C

It's a great family vehicle. Great gas mileage and a very comfortable ride for longer trips.

I love the size and comfort of our van. The fold and go seating is awesome for transporting kids and stuff. The van also feels very safe!

Negative Owner Reviews

Meg P

Do not buy a Chrysler, too many issues.

Continuous small problems with the car. The emissions sensor has failed repeatedly. The battery died when the car was 1 year old. Interior has not held up well compared to other vehicles I have owned. Driver heated seat failed 2nd year. It is annoying to have to keep going back to the dealership for a new car like that.

Megan P

Bad experience with Chrysler .

Electrical problems all the time. Automatic start randomly will not work. Has been to the dealership numerous times but they can not get the problem to replicate so it ends up being in the shop for a long time and never actually gets fixed. It is very frustrating.

AHands

Major issue after issue

I have had NOTHING but issues with this thing. New Transmission 6 months after warranty ended. Rear AC Compressor goes out, that's a 2K fix. The thing rattles worse than an excited rattlesnake. Now it seems the CPU has went out, a known issue Chrysler has known about and issued recalls on for pretty much every other vehicle in their lineup with this engine, but not the Town & Country. So get ready because if your lights or electrical systems do anything odd at all, even just once, be prepared for your entire vehicle to just randomly shut down at any time. When I say shut down I mean everything, the electrical, power, brakes, EVERYTHING. Read the complaints, it happens to people while they are cruising on the highway at 80mph, talk about dangerous! But Chrysler refuses to do anything about it.

Gina W

Chrysler town and country, there are better choices out there.

Car doesn't run as well as foreign and imports. Acceleration is slow, gas mileage is not good. Power seats are poorly constructed. Touch screen buttons for radio and navigation display do not work properly. Not easy to learn and program navigation on touch screen, confusing.

Amanda C

Chrysler Town and Country is not a good vehicle.

I bought my van new and have had lots of issues with it. Small to large. A window button that never worked, a light that never worked. Trans issues, different leaks.

Shanna Z

It gets pretty good gas mileage.

I like the number of seats and the DVD package. I do not like the interior quality. The mechanics of it didn't hold up to our family. I.E.. Broken seats, broken seat warmers etc.

Jessica R

Tan town and country with a DVD/ CD player. Seats 7 people. All seats fold down.

Do not have anything to say about my van. It gets me to where I need to go, and keeps kids entertained on trips with the DVD player. It has broke down on me three times. I would rather have an SUV. Vans are spacious but I am a SUV girl. Hoping to trade soon.

Lorisa n

Gutless wonder. It's good enough, but I wouldn't recommend.

Doesn't have "guts", when you step on the gas it seems to take a second to kick in. The sto and go seats are not comfortable.

What Do Critics Say About the Chrysler Town & Country?

Consumer Reports says the 2013 Town & Country has a comfortable ride, and average owner satisfaction scores.
Edmunds gives the Town & Country a 4/5 praising the attractive interior, but doesn’t like the limited driver legroom.
Kelley Blue Book users rate the Town & Country 3.9/5 and enjoy the luxurious features, but owners don’t like the higher ownership costs.

What Common Problems Does the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country Have?

The most common problems found on the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country include computer failures, excessive wind noise, and broken power windows. Overall, the problems are slightly more severe than other minivans, and repair costs are average.

Computer failures with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) are the most widespread complaint from owners, happening at around 100,000 miles. The failures are less common than on older models. Replacing the TIPM, if it fails, costs around $1,500, depending on local labor rates.

Excessive wind noise is another frequent issue reported by owners in the first 20,000 miles. The source of the problem is a gasket failure on one of the sliding doors. Chrysler has replaced many of these for free under warranty, and if your minivan is out of warranty, it’s about $300.

Broken power windows show up on some models at around 60,000 miles. The window regulator is a weak spot and has to be replaced. Changing out the regulator is a time-consuming process, and costs about $600.

There are 3 recalls and they’re all similar to recalls found on other minivans. The most serious recall is for the vent window switch, which can overheat. Chrysler will replace the switch for free in affected vans. The other two recalls are for air bags, which are common on all minivans.

How Long Will the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country Last?

A well-maintained 2013 Chrysler Town & Country should last around 200,000 miles, which is about 100,000 miles less than the top-rated Toyota Sienna. Regular annual maintenance costs are similar to other minivans, according to data from Repair Pal, at $664 per year.

Since most used 2013 Town & Country models will have over 100,000 miles buyers should be prepared to replace items including the blower motor for $300, fuel pump costing $800, and the exhaust manifold which costs $450.

Kristina A

This vehicle is absolutely reliable. I have this vehicle for 4 years now and we have not experienced any major issues. What we did have was a minor quick fix.

Erin V

It's pretty reliable. We have had normal issues with alternator, etc. It's been all at normal mileage times.

Vanessa P

It is reliable. It doesn't have any problems so far. I like that it tells you if you need air in your tires or any other thing that might come up. Very nice van.

Meredith C

We have not had any issues with our vehicle. I would say it is reliable. We drive a lot, so it is keeping up with our busy life.

Patricia C

It has had a radiator problem and needed a new alternator but overall is very reliable and we have put it through a lot of work.

Cynthia R

It is very reliable. I feel it has a blind spot on the left side. The radius for turning is not the best. Could use a better sound insulation.

Jennifer B

The tires are always low when the weather is cold no heated seats laying down the seats are sometimes tricky.

William W

No it does not have any problems at all. As long as you keep up to date with the oil changes and brakes, you should have one.

How Is the Technology?

The entertainment technology in the 2013 Town & Country is good compared to other minivans from 2013 with a standard 6.5-inch touchscreen stereo system, Bluetooth, and USB connectivity. Safety technology is also better than average with a standard rearview camera, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-path detection systems.

Is the 2013 Chrysler Town & Country a Good Value?

Yes, the 2013 Town & Country is a good value. Blue book prices range from $11,675 to $13,963, making it cheaper than other minivans including the Nissan Quest or Honda Odyssey. When new, the price range was $30,620 to $41,145. Depreciation is average for a minivan, losing about 10% of its current value per year.

What are the Different Models of the Chrysler Town & Country?

There are four models of the Town & Country offered in 2013, from the entry-level Touring all the way up to the luxuriously appointed Limited.

What Engines Come In the Chrysler Town & Country?

The engine found in the 2013 Town & Country is a decently powerful 3.6L V6 which makes 283 horsepower and gets up to 20 MPG. Performance is a bit slower than other minivans, taking 8.3 seconds to go from 0-60 MPH.

What Colors Does the Chrysler Town & Country Come In?

How Comfortable Is the Chrysler Town & Country?

The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country is an extremely comfortable minivan with enough seating for up to 7 people. The seats are very comfortable, and the leather used across the range is high quality.

Passenger room is excellent throughout the cabin, there’s enough room for adults in all three rows.

How Is the Storage In the Chrysler Town & Country?

Cargo space is great for a minivan, and there’s enough space for 5-7 suitcases behind the third row, and over 20 suitcases with all the seats folded flat.

What Are the Differences Between Years?

The fifth generation was introduced in 2008, and was discontinued after the 2016 model year.

2011: Minor exterior restyling, and new V6 engine.

2012: Leather seating used across the lineup.

2013: Upgraded rear entertainment system and rear USB charging ports.

2014: No major changes.

2015: New entry-level LX trim added.

2016: Final model year of the Town & Country, new anniversary package added.

How Does the Chrysler Town & Country Compare to the Competition?

The 2013 Chrysler Town & Country is more luxurious than other minivans on the market, however, you do trade long-term reliability for the high-quality interior.

The Honda Odyssey is another minivan which costs about $2,000 more. The Honda Odyssey has better technology for its age, yet the interior materials are more luxurious and comfortable in the Chrysler Town & Country. We recommend the Honda Odyssey since it has fewer owner complaints.

The Ford Edge is an SUV which costs about $1,000 more. Performance is a bit better on the Ford Edge since it has more powerful engine choices available, but the Chrysler Town & Country has much more passenger room. We recommend the Chrysler Town & Country for 2013 since there are fewer serious mechanical issues.

It's dependable & needs little maintenance

My 2013 Town & Country is great. I bought it used when it came off of a 1 year lease. It had low miles and was well cared for. This is my second Town & Country. My first one was a 2011. The Stow & Go seats are a real plus. The driver's seat is comfortable and it's easy to see out with few blind spots. Gas mileage is good. I rescue and transport dogs from Puppy Mills and this van is perfect. It offers the space I need. My van has 107 K miles on it and I hope it lives past 200k miles. I ❤ it.

lillie s on May 25, 2021

Good car bad transmission.

The Town and Country is very room and has the stow and go feature which is wonderful. There is a DVD system--handy for long drives with children. We do NOT like this car because of its transmission issues. A few months after purchase we experienced weird shifting problems. Mechanic diagnosed as bad transmission. Put a new one on still having minor shifting issues presently.

Jenny B on April 1, 2021

If you like convenience and a lot of space this vehicle is for you!

I love that the town and country minivan has some features that the Dodge grand caravan does not include. Standard features in the Chrysler town and country minivan include leather seats and entertainment system. I did not give it five stars because I feel as though somethings are hard to see with the amount of mirrors and windows spaces.

Melody W on March 28, 2021

Happy mom of 2 who highly recommends this Minivan

Natalie C on March 27, 2021

Great For Families of all kinds

Not good in town mileage. Great highway! Love the features for the kid , like the DVD player. The walk through seating too

Cayla K on March 27, 2021

Leather heated seats, style for days!

It is so comfy with it's leather seats, loaded with all kinds of extras and even better remote start! Stylish for a mini van nice sound system, DVD player, and heated seats.

Joy P on March 27, 2021

It has all the things you could want on the inside.

Love the sliding doors and automatic buttons. There is not much I dislike about it besides it is a minivan!

Stephanie G on March 26, 2021

It is very reliable and is great if you have kids!

I love my minivan! It is great for taking kids and their friends to sporting events and carpooling to and from school. The navigation and built in dvd and blu-ray player is great for vacations and long trips!

Ellie W on March 24, 2021

Great for families who travel and need a great daily driver!

I love my van it has all the options possible ac, TVs , leather seats electric everything. I have driven this van every week to and from work an average of 300 plus miles a week along with family vacations of 500 to 1000 miles in distance. I have kept up on the maintenance, oil changes and I have put new tires, breaks , and had the transmission service done. The only major thing I have had to do to it is the radiator lines from the radiator to the rear heaters had broke so I have had to have them replaced. We also had to have a couple sensors changed due to engine light coded but all in all she has been my favorite vehicle for hauling my family around in and driving back and forth to work for the last 5 years. I really wish they would have kept making them then I could purchase a new one when I have to finally retire this one

Donna S on March 7, 2021

The safety features are outstanding and help make the driver feel very safe.

I really don't have anything I dislike. I love the stow n go and my GPS. There is enough room to carry my dogs on crates while having decent mileage.

Stephanie S on March 3, 2021

Gets great gas mileage, great for the growing family with extra storage. Does not drive well in winter conditions.

I love how much space we have in our vehicle. I like the stow and go seating as well as the undercarriage storage space when we have the seats out. I love the safety features it has like the park assist (even though I do find it hard to follow at times) but I like the safety features installed on the side view mirrors to show me if someone is in my blind spot. It fits our family well with space to even bring along extra friends.

Jennifer W on March 3, 2021

It is the perfect family car.

I like it because it is reliable and a very good family car. There is plenty of room for everyone. There is not anything I dislike about it and I do not have any complaints.

Cherie H on February 26, 2021

Others should know about my car that it runs good it is roomy it has 8 seats.

I have plenty of more space, compared to my Ford explorer and my truck. We drove it to texas from indiana in it. It is very smooth. I can put almost anything in it, because I love the stow and go seats. My complaints are I wish I had a little bit more room in the truck. But not a big issue.

Angelica T on February 25, 2021

It is very comfortable and spacious. Every seat in the van reclines.

This vehicle is very comfortable. I love the automatic sliding doors and stow and go seats. The electric seat controls are nice, but the console is falling off which means it cheaply made. This is overall a great family vehicle. Having three children under ten, this car makes traveling a breeze and gives everyone more than enough to stretch out without being on top of each other.

Mindy O on February 22, 2021

A vehicle with room enough for the family.

Not a hood looking car takes too much gas and the brakes go out fast I really like how it has enough room for my whole entire family and it's a really spacious vehicle one thing I would change is the style of the van it needs to be a little bit more modern style keep up with the times.

Brandy B on February 21, 2021

Smooth driving space loaded family ride.

With my Chrysler town and country it's the best thing that's happened to me as an asset to my family's lives. We have the reliability craftsmanship, and space a van should be. Chrysler knocked it out the park with this one. The captain chairs in the middle are perfect for smaller kids getting in and out with car seats. The back seat for folding down and having extra space is perfect. I throw a cover over my chairs folded down just to protect the fabric and carpet. I do recommend getting a maxliner/weathertech mat system for those with kids and pets it will save you a lot of time and money. Time cleaning carpets is a lot. With mat systems vacuum or sweep out done. You can take out to do a deep clean and factory carpet is factory fresh underneath. The entertainment system is great and space for the wireless linked headphones are great. Or you could use for DVD storage. I got some hooks they work perfect to hang on back of the headrest so the kids are able to reach while driving I found that reaching for the headphones in the compartments was hard and had fussy little ones. So use that space for DVDs (just make sure DVD in before you leave ) so you gain some space for the DVD win/win. I do love that option for the kids to be able to watch a movie and I don't have to listen to there stuff. I can be free to stream and listen to podcast on outings. Makes the drives more pleasurable than a dreaded one. Driving this vehicle is smooth . It's not like some vans that are like a box of nails going over a bump. It's just a clean smooth driving van almost forget your driving it yourself . Wish I had upgraded to a heated seats but maybe next time if I ever let this one go.

Tammie M on February 19, 2021

It has been a great car so far.

It rides well. It has a DVD player. It has enough room for everyone. It is not built as well as my Honda.

Max R on February 15, 2021

Town & country comfort for all.

Great ride, lots of power options. Rust spots though. Lots of windows, backup camera, mirror, stow away seats. Lots of room. Easy for dog to get in and out. Remote start. Keyless operation if you choose. Power doors with options on key fob. DVD players.

Jamie S on February 13, 2021

I don't feel safe I feel like it slips on country roads unlike suv

It's a great van I just want another SUV Van life just wasn't me ...but it drives really good and has lots of extras

Amy K on February 8, 2021

Town and country = perfect family vehicle.

This van is great for traveling with kids. There are many features that benefit both front and rear passengers. Many cup holders, storage spaces, and people room. The sliding doors on both sides makes it great to get kids in and out, especially if they are in car seats. Three temperature zones that can be adjusted individually.

Christine M on February 6, 2021

My Chrysler has it is plus and minuses. But, the pluses outweigh the minuses.

Lots of room. Comfortable. Hide away seats are extremely convenient. Travels well. Fits seven people. Good looking van. Fob stopped working. Automatic side door stopped working. Windows sometimes work. Wear on tires. It is a mini van and my kids do not want to be seen in it, nor do they want to drive it. That is, unless their group of friends plan a fun traveling adventure and we are the only ones that can fit enough people including bags and equipment. (:

Angie L on February 3, 2021

I love it and would recommend it to anyone.

My van is very reliable. I have never had one issue with it since I bought it used in 2015. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone. The stow and go seating is awesome also. I can haul things that my husband cannot haul in his truck because I have no wheel wells.

James C on February 2, 2021

It drives like an absolute dream!.

Love it, it is roomy, comfortable, lots of storage, stow and go. Can transport lots of people and their belongings.

Andrea P on February 1, 2021

Comfortable, reliable minivan with a few issues

It has been a great family vehicle. We had a huge transmission issue within the first year of ownership which involved a total rebuild of transmission. Ever since then, my husband comments continually about jus dislike of the shifting he feels. We also have issues with the air conditioner and needing to charge it every summer. Besides that, I love my van.

Angela Q on January 29, 2021

It is big enough and spacious for family

I like that it's big enough for my family It has extra compartment space Gas mileage is also good

Hayley C on January 23, 2021

Awesome vehicle great features.

Michelle A on January 23, 2021

In love with a van-room for all, and memories that last a lifetime.

Jordan T on January 22, 2021

It has really good features.

I really like the features on my vehicle, such as automatic start, automatic opening doors and trunk, DVD player, NAV system. I dislike that it doesn't get better gas mileage.

Shelly P on January 18, 2021

Great spacious family vehicle.

Features: stow and go, DVD player, internal hard drive for music and pictures. For the most part it has been very reliable. I recently had to replace the transmission, and alternator, among other smaller things. It is very spacious for larger families.

Holly M on January 15, 2021

Handicap accessible van review

No problems with it. It's been made handicap accessible with a ramp. We love it. Gas mileage is decent.

Kristen H on January 14, 2021

I love the backup camera and DVD player.

It's hard to put the seats in their hide holes. The cover for over the seat holes get bens or broken pretty easily. I love my automatic doors and the hole in the trunk to keep things in so they don't slide out when door is opens even on a hill.

Andrew F on January 13, 2021

The Town and Country is a great family vehicle with lots of room for people and more!

Love how much room it has. The stow-and-go seating makes transporting people and objects very easy.

Jaclyn K on January 11, 2021

It is spacious and luxurious for the price with bells and whistles on even the base model.

My van is spacious and useful. I love the stow n go seats. My son loves the DVD player. I can't live without the backup camera. I dislike how cheap the seats are made.

Evelyn S on January 8, 2021

People should know it has a large gas tank and gets pretty good gas mileage for a minivan.

I love all the space it has. I love the automatic doors. I love the amount of room between seats when they are all up. I dislike how the front bumper is lower than an SUV.

Jen H on January 7, 2021

It is very functional. It gets us where we need to be in a safe manner.

It is a very reliable car. I dislike that it is big, but we need a large vehicle to transport our family. I wish it was newer and had things like bluetooth.

Susan R on January 6, 2021

Good vehicle but trade at 3 years

This car was very reliable initially. It is very comfortable and has all the bells and whistles. The headspace is great for my growing boys who are over 6 feet tall. It drives smoothly. Recently however I have begun to have trouble with the AC and the transmission. Also, the coolant hose burst on the interstate and I had to be towed 3 hours to home. In spite of all this, I would buy another. It is important I think to keep up with recommended scheduled maintenance.

Sarah M on January 4, 2021

This minivan makes any trip or errand convenient with quick and easy stow and go seating as well as a built in entertainment system to keep your little ones occupied!

My vehicle is a Chrysler Town & Country Minivan. I love how convenient the various features like stow & go seating and built in entertainment system make trips and day to day use. I don't have to worry about pulling heavy seats out of the car to make room for cargo. The built in entertainment system makes it so that my kids aren't bored on any length of trip. I do wish that my minivan got better gas mileage.

Linda K on December 29, 2020

It has the fold down seats for easy hauling of stuff. The back seats are very easy to put down.

I like that all the seats can fold down and you can haul stuff in the back. It is really handy for the back seats to fold down and so easy to do it. It is a comfortable ride, too. The foot feed seems to be a little touchy sometimes.

The Bluetooth device is such an awesome feature to have and use.

It's a very comfortable vehicle I have had no problems with it except wear and tear. The back up camera is an awesome feature to have. Its my 3rd same vehicle and I've had no problems with them. Leather is much better than cloth. I've had both. I just need a bigger car for I have 6 kids.

Amazing features makes everyday life easier.

The vehicle is comfortable to drive. It handles well on the road. It's smooth and maneuvers easily. The large windows and vehicle shape allow for good visibility of other vehicles and the road. The reverse camera makes reversing a breeze. The navigation system is a supportive feature to have on road trips. The radio is capable of supporting a satellite subscription. This makes road trips and sitting in morning traffic more exciting. The DVD player helps keep children content on long rides. The electric doors have buttons within easy reach of the driver to make for smooth drop off and pick up of our little passengers quick and seamless. The access in the back can be locked to prevent doors from being opened prematurely by little fingers ( or toes ). The two middle row seats can be stowed away making moving or transporting large items possible. I have moved twice with my van and not sure what I would have done without it!

Love the features, but wish mechanics could fix the problems.

The wiring or computer has problems, but the dealership does not know how to fix it because they deal with cars and not computers. Everyone that looks at it says the same thing is the problem, but that's not the problem because we've had that fixed and it did not fix the problem. The air conditioner turns on and off at random. The back up camera stopped working. The check engine light is always on. Sometimes the traction control light comes on and causes the car not to be able to accelerate. Other than the problems, we love the rest of it. We like that the seats all fold down and we can hold an entire sheet of plywood in the car. We like the comfort and space.

The amount of storage space is great.

If you think minivans are just for soccer mom's then you have never driven one. . You are raised up as if driving a sports utility vehicle and there is so much storage space. Not just in the rear like most cars but the stow and go seating gives you even more room. The DVD player is an excellent addition, especially for those long car trips with the kids and it is a great vehicle to take camping.

It's a good, safe family car. Lots of airbags, seating for plenty of people, leather seats.

I like the fact that it seats up to 7 people. It's also easy to drive and has a lot of safety features. I don't like how it's difficult to keep clean because of the type of fabric they use for the carpeting.

It is very reliable, convenient than my kids and I love it.

I love the space, convenience and dependability of my car. There is nothing that I dislike about my car.

Reliable transportation. Good all around vehicle.

I really like this vehicle for the most part. Gas mileage is very good and the ride is comfortable. However since I am 6 feet 4 inches tall the driver's seat is a little bit cramped for me even with the seat in maximum extensions. Overall this has been a very reliable vehicle. Has never been in the shop and is close to 50,000 miles now.

Reliability and Performance

It is now 2020. I have had no major problems with my 2013 Chrysler Town and Country. There was a recall that took care of the rear window switch that was inoperable. This year, one set of (12) rocker arms began to make noise from the engine. Rather than replacing one set, I replaced both sets. (total 24). The other issue experienced was a fuse blowing that affect the driver seat no moving. This was resolved during a tune up of the vehicle in which I forgot to tell the service technician about the problem. The vehicle continues to operate very well. I continue to perform the regular required maintenance on this vehicle and I continue to travel back and forth from NC to FL during the year.

Great vehicle for the entire family!

I love my Chrysler town and country! We have a family of 5 and this vehicle fits everyone comfortably including bulky car seats! The openness makes it easy to clean and we love all of the features! We have the DVD, the uconnect and the dual climate control, these are some of our favorite features. My husband is 6’7 and he is able to drive very comfortably.

It is a van that is comfortable enough for our family of 5

I like the space it offers my family. I like the automatic doors. I like the built in navigation but I wish it updated itself regularly

Linda O on December 13, 2020

Durable and accommodating

We are a family of five, three kids included. We also play sports. The town and country came equipped for the family with a DVD player, screen for backing up and warning, sliding doors. However, the screen for the DVD in the back of the van does not work anymore and we are yet to go get it fixed. Overall, the Van has been good to us.

It's definitely a family vehicle but it's done a great job so far.

I like the space. I love having a DVD player available.
