My 2001 chrysler town & country suffered a complete transmission failure. I bought this vehicle new in 2001 and thought I was buying the best mini-van for the money. However, I've had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Power windows have failed, power sliding door has failed 3 times, power lift gate failed, air bags caused a check engine light to come on ( replaced under warranty). All of these were minor in comparison to the transmission, which cost me $3078 to have rebuilt. I've found too many instances of transmission failures on the internet, I question why chrysler hasn't been called out on this by the federal safety agency. Chrysler knows about the quality of their vehicles and continues to do nothing about it. In the future I will never buy another chrysler product.

The driver's side rear automatic sliding door ceased working during cold weather conditions at random times over a couple of years & then suddenly the automatic function of the door would not work at all when the button is pressed from the inside. Even worse is that the door will not open when using the manual handle with the lever. This is extremely dangerous, as small children could be trapped. Earlier when I took it to a dealership, they stated that a new track harness & something else was needed at a cost over $500. We cannot afford this. Doors should work manually without $500 parts. There is nothing physically wrong with the door, nor has it been in a collision etc.

2001 chrysler town & country, sliding side door motor failed very quickly. Chrysler refuses to fix problem since I'm not original owner. Also, liftgate motor failed about the same time and again, chrysler refuses to fix under warranty. Both doors are hard to open due to this problem.
