2002 Chrysler Town and Country LXi review from North America
"OK, but not wonderful"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This van has been great, but not wonderful. Mostly used for short trips around town, but I have driven it cross country 2 times, with no problems.
It is very comfortable and I love the ride. However, to open the back with the remote is a joke, it worked when I first got it, but it no longer works and the cost exceeds the benefit. It beeps a few times and then just stays there, I have to open it manually.
The controls on the AC quit working, it was stuck on heat and I could not change it to cold. I took it into the dealer, I don't remember what was wrong, but it cost me about $400 to fix.
Driver side power window quit working, cost about $350 to fix.
Power doors sometimes are very sensitive and do not work properly, however, they always seem start working right the next day. I am not sure what is wrong, I haven't taken it in.
Sometimes the van makes a vibrating sound when I turn, I think it has to do with power steering.
Flip down DVD player quit working, I will probably just replace it with an aftermarket brand.
I have heard horror stories about their transmissions, however, I have never had a problem. I occasionally tow a 20' boat behind it, and it has done wonderful.
General comments?
I am not in love with this car, but if I had to do it over again I would not rule out the Town and Country. It has a very comfortable ride, one of the best I have been it.
