I just wanted to let everyone who owns a 2008 T&C that I have filed a Lemon Law claim even though the van is 3 years old and has 34,000 miles! My lawyer said that the amount of repairs exceed the "normal" wear and tear of a 3 yr old car.
This lawyer recently won a case for the same year and model and that family received $32,000! The entire price they paid for their van!
Chrysler has responded, they stated they will have a offer for me in 6 weeks.
I will keep everyone posted!
Don't give up! Keep calling Chrysler to complain about our vans! Don't think because you have too many miles that it is too late for lemon law!

I did purchase the $3000 extended warranty which I have used! I do have $100 deductible
The most signifcant problem has been the sliding doors. The passenger door has been repaired 7 times!
Oil consumption issues with two oil leaks - one almost resulted in blowing the engine - I was out of oil and the oil light came on one time!
Driver seat adjustment switch broke - seat was stuck bent forward and had to be towed to the dealer 3 days after we bought it!
Air conditioning leaks - hoses replaced with recalls
Heater broke most recently
DVD system had to be reprogrammed
Front & rear brakes replaced twice
Premature tire wear - all four tires replaced with Chrysler paying half of the $800
3rd row bench not locking in place when going from folded to back up to seats
Water leak, water collecting on the driver side door causing rust
Transmission occasionally jumping - dealership was not able to find anything
Driver side window grinding was repaired, not a official recall yet
Sliding doors frozen shut when the temp dips below 30 degrees
Interior finishes - the silver tone on center console is wearing off in places and the leather on the inside of doors scratches very easy.
The whole van rattles & creaks like an old pickup truck when it rains and temps are lower than 50 degrees. Really annoying when the overhead console rattles. I have to drive holding the console with one hand and drive with one hand until the heat warms up the inside and then the rattle stops.
Meanwhile, I go tomorrow for another set of brakes!!! Less than 20,000 miles on them.
So I'm trapped with this POS!! I'm not out of work thanks to the government shutdown, my husband's hours were cut since it was such a poor summer season and we can not afford a car payment.
My lawyer did say that Chrysler is the worst to deal with. If it was any other car, it would have been settled in 6 months not 3 years later.
