1996 Chrysler Town and Country LX review from North America
"A Luxury piece of GARBAGE!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Belt Tensioner - twice 65,000 and 97,000
Battery discharged and corroded cable harness 108,000
Starter went bad at 110,000
Transmission has failed twice, once at 77,000 miles, and again at 128,000.
General comments?
I inherited this vehicle when my mother passed and I vowed to keep the maintenance in check on this vehicle. However, I cannot continue to pour money into this machine.
