636 NHTSA owner complaints · 4 recalls · data-computed verdict. No opinions — public data only.
Editor's note
No Town and Country year is an AVOID: all six years from 2011 to 2016 are BUY verdicts, and the 2015, at 86 on 382 complaints with no safety-critical recall, is the one to buy. The other years score 72 to 79 on heavy counts, 773 complaints on the 2011 car and never fewer than 522 in any year but 2015. Read the full note on the model page. 2014 specifically: a year the record favours — 636 complaints, score 76/100. The caveats in the note apply to other years of this nameplate more than to this one.
