2012 Chrysler Town & Country consumer reviews

Purchased my new T&C in March. While on our first country drive, through hilly terrain, it became apparent this vehicle behaved in a manner I have yet to get used to. Around 45 mph, the transmission continually shifted back and forth between gears. It was almost difficult to sustain a specific speed. I heave read other reviews with the same problem. It is annoying and has generated feelings of regret in regard to this purchase. Have also experienced "surging" while backing up my driveway.

I needed a versatile van for business purposes. I have always been a GM driver. Chrysler minivan offerd stow-a-way seating and that really is a good option. No other minivan offers that kind of flat usable floor space. I am very well pleased with performance, ride, interior room, and use of the van in my business. Great navigational system and a great DVD setup. So far so good. Gas mileage on the first 3000 miles was 26. Not bad. Great van.

Have had the Town and Country for 3 months. Air Conditioning Motor went out completely. Have to have the whole thing replaced. Van makes a lot of odd noises. You can't take it in to have it looked at because the noises come from different things everyday. Can't seem to pinpoint the exact location of all the different noises. A lot of road noise when on the freeway. I do love the interior though and the seats are very comfortable. Chrysler has been good about paying for a rental car while the van takes several days to get fixed. Not sure that I would buy this van again though. Too many problems and bought it brand new.

Interior design is easy to use and very accommodating for both driver and passenger, and the quality of the interior is very good. Features on base model are extensive, and extremely functional. Handling is fine, but could be improved, but the seating functionality as well as the stow and go for both the third and second row seating is unmatched in the mini van market. Accessories standard on base model are added costs on comparable minivans, making the Town and County cost effective as well. This is my seventh mini van, and by far the best one I have purchased.

This is a great upgrade in my opinion over the 2010 model and any previous models. I notice over their 2010 model (Touring with Leather, etc)... Better ride (smoother and quieter) Backup camera is not as bright and very functional. Backup warning system and side monitoring is very reliable and useable. UConnect is very good with iPhone. Instrumentation is improved....more readable. Engine power and economy is greatly improved. How can that be? Stow and go seats are nice, but need to offer captain chairs on Touring level for those that want better/safer seats. Handling is better with not as much lean in the curves. Softer leather is a great touch. Get rid of chrome mirrors. This is not my grandmother's van.
