2014 Chrysler Town & Country: engine and transmission complaints

ELEVATED COMPLAINT SIGNAL
36%
198 of 548 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system

36% of relevant owner complaints on the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country are about the engine, transmission or fuel system. That is elevated. Worth an independent inspection before you commit to one.

Better than 60% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).

Excludes 88 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 31%).

Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.

Other minivans with no elevated signal in 2014

The percentage is each model year's drivetrain complaint share. No elevated signal describes the model year, not any one car; a well-kept example of a flagged model can still be the right buy, and any of these still needs an inspection.
