What owners wrote

Steering is oversensitive, vehicle oversteers very easily. Dealer performed 3 software upgrades, one to each of these modules: PCM, win and steering sensor. Steering is not better. This oversteer seems to be more of a mechanical design flaw, and feels unstable, like it is easy to drift into other lanes, causing an accident. Harsh ride. Our 2004 t&c was much better. The more I drive the new 2011, the more I hate it, want my old van back.

Reported at 3,000 miles, August 2011

Car stalls and shuts off, car cranks but will not start this has happened numerous times in the past 24 hours, while driving it will unexpected shut off, this is a problem related to the tipm which has been recalled in other 2011 model vehicles such as the jeep grand cherokee and dodge durango. I have read forums where other 2011 town and countrys also had this same issue.
