We are on our 2nd 2008 T&C (25L-Swivel-n-go), long story in another thread - first one was a lemon that we returned. Before you take it back make sure you have a couple of months to wait for the dealer to replace it through impartial services. Its a nightmare. Take it back for a refund if you are not happy and start from scratch with a new card and a new deal.
 
We are getting roughly 25 mpg local driving with a little highway, finger crossed we have 500 miles with no issues or electrical failures so far.

I just purchased a 2008 T & C Limited van in late November. I don't have the third row power seat so I can't comment on that issue. We filled up the van with 60 miles on the odometer and drove about 150 miles not exceeding 60 mph. As you know, this van has the 4.0 engine. We got 23.5 mpg. Although I've not checked the mileage around town, on the mpg fuel read out, I don't remember the m.p.g. at any time dropping below 14.5 so I expect the in town short trip mileage should be close to the window sticker 16 mpg. So far, I'm delighted with this van compared to the 05 T&C Limited van we traded. Thus far, I can say the ride, interior noise level, and handling to name a few attributes of this van, far exceed the 05' model. I read the recent Consumer Report article concerning the new Chrysler vans and wondered where they were coming from....handling and petty criticism of the quality of the storage compartment between the seats. I 've ridden in a 2005 and 2006 Honda Odssey and wasn't overly impressed and for that reason didn't consider a 2007 or 08 Honda Odssey. Hope your gas mileage improves.

#26 of 29 Grand Caravan - possible to replace bench with buckets? by marchat

Jan 17, 2008 (9:00 am)

We've been looking at late model mini-vans and have found one well priced with everything we want except the stow&go 2nd row bucket seats.
I know where I can get some decent OEM bucket seats. Does anyone know if its possible to replace the bench with buckets in a 07 Grand Caravan and what it takes to get it done?

#28 of 29 Town & Country 2003 BackRow SeatBelt Issues? by civ1

Jan 28, 2008 (12:22 pm)

I just noticed this about my van after moving my daughter out of her latched child seat and into a big kid booster seat.
The belt does not lock when I give it a quick tug. It works in the front seats but not the back 2 rows. This did not make me feel comfortable. Needless to say I put back the original car seat and called the dealer.
 I was told the seat will lock after I apply the breaks which I will test tonight.
Anyone else go through this? I'm not too confident about the brake test. Are seatbelts a lifetime warranty thing? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you.

#29 of 29 2008 t&c nav stopped working by staciy

Mar 09, 2008 (6:03 am)

I have 1000 miles on my brand new van. My daughter wanted to download her ipod songs and after we tried this the nav went out! It says acquiring nav like before but it doesn't ever come up. Also the phone doesn't come on. Does anyone know if I disconnect the battery if it will reset? I will call the dealership Monday but I am really disappointed that something so simple as attaching an ipod could mess everything up. Thanks,
