I've had my 2005 GC SXT with tow/power hatch and sunroof for 1.5 trouble free years so far...LOVE IT!!! No problems and it tows my Coleman Tent trailer with ease. Hope you're as happy as I am so far!!!!
have to install a brake controller and it must be connected to the
cold side of the switch , since I dont want to poke the wire for
nothing having the right wire color would help a lot.Thanks in advance
I did get an extended warranty on mine. Paid about $1,300.00 for it. It was a lot more than what I paid on my other car, but fixing these vehicles have gone up too. I found out it cost me over a thousand dollars to replace the compressor and condenser on my old car. With all the electrical stuff on these vans, it's hard to believe you can keep them seven years and have nothing go out on them. We use the a/c here in Arizona about eight months out of the year. Plus, it would have cost me over $900.00 for seven years just for AAA road side service and this extended warranty has roadside service with it, so I figure it's not that bad at all and I won't have to worry about any of that stuff breaking for seven years, which is as long as I will keep it.

Sorry, I haven't a clue. I had an RV dealer install it for me.
I will thank you a gazillion of time !!!
Just bought a 2005 T&C Touring, and have a question about the rear park assist chime.
We couldn't hear the chime when we test drove it, but the dealer said that it's working but is extremely quiet. They acknowledge that they've had some complaints about it, but that there's no recall or official fix yet.
Heard of this problem? Experienced it? Ideas?
Thanks,
Hans

Haven't seen a transmisson replacement allowance warranty on new ones so thought I'd check with you folks.
I noticed a new subtle but nice differences between our old '05 and the new '06. The 2nd row seats are definitelhy softer and cushier in the '06. I didn't mind the firm seats in the '05 but many posters here complained about them. The '06 seats are noticably softer. Also, the Stow 'N Go bins have an extra hinge in the '06 which makes t much easier to access the bins for storage without moving the front seats up. Very convenient touch.
We had 27,000 happy miles on our '05 and I am looking forwad to the next two years with the '06.
What gives?
I would prefer the DC 4.0L 255 HP and 265 lb-ft torque to the 266 HP ( @ 6200 RPM) and lower 245 lb-ft torque of the 2007 Sienna 3.5L V6.
DC minivans have higher TORQUE for real power instead of bloated HP ratings that are primarily used for bragging in advertising.
Chrysler definitely wants to remain "minivan leader", and they need to work hard for that. I am anxiously waiting on the reports of the media after the January auto show.
Based on mailings from Toyota, the recommended routine maintenance will cost MORE for the Sienna than the Chrysler for every maintenance interval. :sick:
Are pushrod engines less expensive to maintain than the newer technology?
I have never seen anyone get compensated for diminished value. I lost large amounts of money when vehicles I owned were totalled when struck by another vehicle.
The insurance companies will only pay to get a vehicle repaired by the lowest bidder using inferior parts or will pay wholesale, auction prices when a vehicle is totalled.

I believe I can hook up a portable DVD player for under $100 and hook it to the outlets and play from the screen.
Let me know if you find a solution.
I believe there are still issues with trans problems. I had the dealer do a trans flush service at 30k so they can't say trans failure was due to lack of service.
My local dealers say they can't do anything until DC comes up with a fix. If a new exhaust and tranny fixed your problems I would like to point my dealer to an actual case history. My piece of rubbish is so bad that to date I only have about 6500 miles on it - I simply can't stand to listen to it for more than a half-hour at a time. TIA
Home run!
1. The name and location of the dealer who did the work on your car.
2. The date (or dates) on which the dealer (and/or DCX) finally agreed to make replacements of your tranny and exhaust and actually performed the work.
I realize that this may sound a little demanding on my part, but experience tells me that I had better have chapter and verse in hand before the clowns around here will take me seriously. My present conviction is that they will simply say they have no idea what those code numbers stand for.
Thanks again and in advance for your valuable information.
I have a feeling these will be well received. The 6 speed trans will score major points with the reviewers
