Chrysler Town & Country Reliability

Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Chrysler Town & Country rather than another vehicle? Concerned about your chances of getting a lemon?

TrueDelta provides this information in the form of "times in the shop" stats that make the actual repair rates clear and, in the future, "lemon-odds."

The latest Car Reliability Survey (CRS) results include Chrysler Town & Country reliability information based on owner experiences through June 30, 2009:

Chrysler Town & Country Repair Histories

To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Chrysler Town & Country repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.

Individual responses to both the Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:

Chrysler Town & Country Extended Warranty

Concerned about the Chrysler Town & Country's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.

Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.

Chrysler Town & Country Gas Mileage

"Why (Not) the Chrysler Town & Country?" Reviews

For car buyers' reasons for buying a Town & Country--or not--click here.

Want another perspective? Since 1999, Michael Karesh, the developer of TrueDelta, has contributed reviews to Epinions, where he is one of two people who oversee the autos section.

Michael's most recent Chrysler Town & Country review.

Note: The older the review, the more likely it has become outdated owing to more recently introduced competitors.

Chrysler Town & Country Tire Reviews

The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Chrysler Town & Country tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Chrysler Town & Country--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.

The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
