We have had continuing AC problems and van was in service for this continuously. It was in 2013 after being serviced numerous times for this problem that installed a brand new system including a wiring harness. Very dam frustrating when you live in AZX and no air conditioning driving in 117 degree temps.

We have so many issues with this "brand new" vehicle that the heat not working on a day when it is below freezing was just another complaint to add to the list. I cannot even begin to understand how so many problems could be happening with the same vehicle. I will NEVER buy from Chrysler and I will continue to tell everyone I know how bad of a product they make. If you haven't already made the mistake of purchasing from them please save yourself the trouble. We wish we had.

I am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of my 2008 Town and Country van. I have 49,000 miles on it, and today it's down for brakes, a wheel bearing, wheel hub, and tie rod. About $800 in repairs.
This follows a few weeks ago when it was down for about $500 in air conditioner repair due to a "bad line" that apparently was a known issue. I have poured more money into this vehicle at 49,000 miles than I did with my 2003 Windstar in total. I put 249,000 miles on the Windstar, and only did 3 brake jobs, tires and fluid changes.
It's not like I off-road or abuse this vehicle. It's all highway. And of course, nothing is a recall or factory/dealer issue where anything is subsidized.
I can understand the brakes being gone and needing to be replaced as normal wear/tear. But the bearing/hub? I haven't had a wheel bearing or hub go bad on a car since the 70s. And a tie rod? An acknowledged faulty air conditioner line and I have to pay for it?
Rear hatch latch assy was also bad, causing the interior lights to stay on and door ajar warning to constantly be on, even when the hatch was closed and secured. This would have been another several hundred dollars for an entirely new latch, had I chosen to fix it instead of just cutting the offending wires to the sensor.
I am frustrated and disappointed. Never, never, never again will I have a Chrysler And I will make sure every friend, relative and internet car quality forum knows of the problems I've had, and cash I've had to lay out. Unfortunately, I'm sure there are more problems and expenses to come.

It's hot in Bakersfield so when your AC goes out you bake in an oven.
