Has anyone’s T&C gone over 100 K without major problems?
I’m sorry for being a bummer but it seems to me these cars were built for leasing. Mine started falling apart at 96K and judging from the sheer amount of posts that are dealing with problem issues on This forum it seems to me that these vans have a lot of issues. Engine computers, transmissions, weird electrical issues, etc. A lot of these cost almost 1/2 what the van is worth, put two together and forget it!
Dont get me wrong they are terrific and practical vehicles for awhile but cars today should easily go 200,000 miles without these major issues.
I loved the driver interface with the dash and the controls, the comfortable seats, (other than the drivers seat bolster cracking leather on every single one), the ride, the practicality, the space, etc. but the cheap hard plastic windshield washer system that breaks at the hood opening, the aforementioned drivers seat bolster, the wonky electrics, crap transmission, ( nice motor though), ...great van but far too disposable.

Mine bought 2012, Ł2000, with 180k on it but had an idea it was a posh Airport Taxi so mileage would prob be over 200k. Now, well, 7 years on and it just takes us anywhere. Got same fault of gearbox difficulty in going into first gear every time but put it into second, we roll and it goes in to first.
Usual discs, pads, oil, filters.
Blew a bit on all handbrake cables.
Front engine mounting.
Engine thermostat, was the rear pain in bottom one.
One rear Caliper.
Both rear bump stop buffers.
Never kept a car more then 3 years but this ones been the best.
Need 8x4 boards uplifted next week and it's a van as well.
And it goes on.

Well those are just normal maintenance things so congrats.
At 96,000 mine started with steering angle sensor, other sensors, wonky dash board, electrical stuff failing then good again, tpim, alternator over charging, trans. Cooler lines bursting, evap line breaking, Transmission throwing a “torque converter circuit open” cel, and of course the windshield washer tubing is made from the polystyrene of a kids model kit.
I am glad to be rid of it! It held a lot, was very nicely appointed, and drove well but it was the most expensive cheap car I’ve ever bought.
(I left out all of the normal maintainability items).

2011 was the first year for the 3.6, new interior / electronics , and so on. Probably the worst year to have.
My impression is that the 2013-2016 years have very few issues.
Chrysler / Dodge in recent years are actually rated highly for reliability on their older models (300, Grand Caravan, Charger, Challenger). Not so much the Pacifica, but it is all new.
