How many miles will a 2009 Town & Country last?
The 412 mileages owners gave run from 94 to 254,000 miles. A quarter are at or under 45,000 miles, half at or under 75,000, three quarters at or under 101,000 and nine in ten at or under 140,000; 107 (26%) came after 100,000 miles, 26 (6%) after 150,000 and 4 (1%) after 200,000.
These mileages say when owners reported a problem, not when a 2009 Town & Country wears out. NHTSA's file holds only vehicles whose owners complained; one that ran without a problem never appears in it, so it gives no lifespan and no cutoff, and how a vehicle was maintained matters more than any one odometer reading.

Is the 2009 Town & Country a good year?
Complaint counts cannot say whether the 2009 is a good or a bad Town & Country: they rise with how many were sold and how long they have been on the road. They show how the 2009 compares with the other model years in NHTSA's file.
With 707 complaints, the 2009 ranks 6th of the 27 Chrysler Town & Country model years from 1990 to 2016 with 10 or more complaints, counting from the most. The most: the 2008 (1,939). The fewest: the 1990 (13).
Recent model years have had less time to collect complaints, so their counts are still growing. No year is ranked by mileage here, because a year's median mileage mostly follows its age.
| Model year | Owner complaints | Listing mileage | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1990 Town & Country | 13 | 2 | Under 10 mileages |
| 1991 Town & Country | 25 | 7 | Under 10 mileages |

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- Complaints are owners’ reports to NHTSA. NHTSA publishes them without verifying them: a complaint is an allegation, not a defect finding.
- The mileage is what the owner wrote on the complaint; NHTSA does not check it against the odometer.
- The make, model and model year are the ones on the complaint. NHTSA records them as filed, so a few complaints sit under a model year the name was not sold in.
- They are not a lifespan study. The file holds only vehicles whose owners reported a problem, so these figures do not say how long a typical 2009 Town & Country lasts.
- A complaint count rises with how many vehicles were sold and how long they have been on the road, so it is not a rating of the 2009 Town & Country.
- Nothing here describes one vehicle: its title brands, odometer readings, accidents and open recalls are in the records for its own VIN.
- 295 of the 707 complaints on the 2009 Chrysler Town & Country give no usable mileage (blank, zero, a filler such as 999999, or over 500,000) and are left out of every mileage figure.
- NHTSA names counted: TOWN AND COUNTRY, TOWN AND COUNTRY LWB and TOWN&COUNTRY LWB. NHTSA files some vehicles under several names (a series name and a trim name, for example); this page counts only these.
- Recall-file name matched: TOWN AND COUNTRY.
