One problem related to transmission failure has been reported for the 2005 Chrysler Town & Country. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My Chrysler Town & Country ltd minivan (bought new in July 2001) suffered sudden and complete transmission failure in March 2005. The "check engine" light had come on one day prior - no time to even schedule for service. A moderately audible whine had been noticed for a month or so prior while driving but had no reason to suspect it was the transmission. Vehicle had been serviced by dealership religiously, including full transmission service as recommended. When the transmission went, it went out with a loud bang - then lost all power. Coasted to the shoulder of the road without incident luckily. The minivan had 49,000 miles on it. Came with all options including towing package, but I never towed anything - no tow bar installed. This does not say much for Chrysler quality. I imagine if I had been towing a boat occasionally the transmission would have failed much sooner. My cost for repairs was about $2,500. I would like to be notified if Chrysler ever steps up to the plate and offers to reimburse those who lost transmissions prematurely. Transmissions should last at least 100,000 miles - I don't care what the warranty says. That is a cop out. Without some reimbursement I will never buy a Chrysler again. This was my first and probably my last.
