📖Chrysler Town & Country V: the ultimate luxury American MPV with Pentastar V6 performance

Chrysler Town & Country V (2008-2016)

The fifth-generation Town & Country closed an illustrious chapter as Chrysler's final traditional luxury minivan before the advent of the Pacifica. With its square, upright American stance, lavishly equipped interior and enhanced Stow 'n Go seating, it offered families a first-class travel environment unmatched by contemporary European MPVs. Conducting scheduled Chrysler Town & Country maintenance ensures this expansive people carrier remains a reliable, refined long-distance flagship.

Following a major 2011 refresh, the line-up standardised on the modern 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 producing a potent 283 hp, paired with the 62TE gearbox six-speed automatic. This modern powertrain transformed performance, providing effortless overtaking ability on motorways. However, the Pentastar requires vigilance regarding its plastic oil filter housing adapter in the engine valley, which can crack and leak oil or coolant if over-torqued during servicing.

Owner notes

The reassuring points, known weak spots and deadlines you should not let slip.

Reassuring points

Reliability
  • Versatile Stow 'n Go cabin allows seamless conversion from seven luxury seats to a cavernous flat load bay.
  • The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 delivers punchy 283 hp performance with civilised motorway cruising refinement.
  • Comprehensive family equipment with rear entertainment screens, power sliding doors and abundant cabin storage.

Chronic weak spots

Keep an eye on
  • 3.6 Pentastar V6: inspect engine V for oil accumulation caused by a cracked plastic oil cooler housing adapter.
  • 62TE 6-speed automatic gearbox: inspect for delayed cold shifts, torque converter shudder and ensure ATF+4 fluid maintenance.
  • Totally Integrated Power Module (TIPM): inspect for fuel pump relay failure, battery drain or flickering exterior lighting.
  • Front brakes and wheel bearings: check disc runout and pad wear, which degrade rapidly under heavy family loading.
  • Power sliding door wiring harness: inspect plastic track runners beneath doors for frayed wiring causing door operation faults.

Critical deadlines

Do not miss
  • Engine oil and filter renewal every 10,000 km or 12 months, using the correct viscosity and avoiding overtightening oil filter cap.
  • Transmission fluid (ATF+4) and filter renewal every 60,000 km to prevent compounder gear and solenoid pack wear.
  • Cooling system flush and inspection of heater hose Y-connectors every 50,000 km or 3 years.
  • Inspect and clean Stow 'n Go floor tub latches, sliding door tracks and power tailgate struts every 12 months.
