Faults:

Crazy windshield wipers, they came on all the time by themselves. Dealer replaced something, but it was too late. wipers moving across a dry windshield cause scratches which the dealer does not care to know about.

It Has stalled ever since the fuel rail recall. Had to have it towed once and they could never find the problem. The Galloway, NJ dealership can never replicate any of the problems, they just try to sell me a new one. I bought a 7 year 100,000 mile warranty that covers nothing!

The front end makes noise and wobbled for 2 years before I took it someone else, it still acts funny. Chrysler could never find the problem.

The service engine light is on, won't go out, everything has been checked. It is serviced every 3,000 miles with synthetic oil.

The interior rear cracked, the right passenger door mechanism had to be replaced, it wouldn't work and that door sticks all the time.

After 1 year some cooling hose broke.

After 3 years the transmission lines leaked. The Head gasket valve cover leaks. The rear main seal leaks.

The front lights are all fogged from the inside, almost as if they are scratched from the inside, so they look bad.

The rubber gaskets on the door constantly fall down.

I will never buy another chrysler product. I had the cirrus before, the trans went at 45,000 miles. The front ball joint cracked off at 20,000 miles. The dealer said they never heard of that happening before, 2 months later it was recalled for that very same problem. They cannot be beat for style and comfort, but they are the most unreliable vehicles I ever drove.

Faults:

Idler pulley froze up at 55,000 miles. Took out serpentine belt also.

General Comments:

This van is definitely the Rolls Royce of minivans for this era.

Noted the comment about bad brakes.

Must be that one van.

My brakes are excellent and as a matter of fact Car and Driver found stopping distance to 119 ft from 60 MPH. That is better than almost anything else out there including sports cars. That fits in with my experience.

The van averages 24.3 MPG at 70 MPH with A. C on. Very plush.

Faults:

Air Conditioning Compressor replaced.

Hood Latch Replaced.

Ignition assembly replaced.

Leaks around sliding doors.

Power rear vent will not open on left rear, but if you open it with your hand it will close by the motor.

Center captains chairs now move almost to the point of swiveling.

CD player quit in the middle of playing a CD and never worked again, cleaning did not repair the issue.

Seat Memory has never worked right.

Shortage in Headlight Switch.

General Comments:

This vehicle when bought used was beautiful; unlike most cheaply built vehicles this one has the appearance of quality. Once you get three kids (all restrained in Car Seats) inside the van then things start coming apart quickly. While the interior was comfortable the power seats were clunky. For 11 months everything worked smoothly, then after not using the glove compartment, but about twice for maps. The plastic wires that stop it from coming completely down snapped. The headlight switch would, on occasion, cause all of the lights in the Vehicle to go out, the air conditioning compressor went out, alignment would never stay and tires were gone after 20,000 miles the leather seats wore faster than any other sheltered car I've ever seen. Several other mechanical issues that were quite a bit premature. These were, in most cases not warrantied or recalls. An expensive car to maintain to say the least.

Buy a Used car before buying a new Chrysler.
