CarComplaints.com Notes: Chances are you didn't want to have to buy a used minivan, but chances are you _also_ didn't realize how much stuff you need to travel with kids. When it comes to hauling around piles of diaper bags and coolers full of snacks, you could do worse than the 2004 Town & Country. Especially when you compare it to the 2005.

ABS warning light and brake warning light illuminate.the brake warning light illuminates most all of the time but will go out on occasion then illuminate again and again or stay on.the brakes seem to operate normally and pass all mechanical inspections.the brake warning light will go out upon sharp elevation changes combined with sharp turning manuvers.
After filling up with fuel, the car was started, and driven out of the gas station, but less than 50 feet out onto the road, the car lost power then regained power then lost it cycling rapidly through this where RPM would come up to idle speed than drop to near zero up and down. No ability to move out of traffic, etc., eventually completely stalled. The car started hard, but restarted and I could drive out of harms way. The car drove for about 2 blocks and acted up again for a few moments and then performed fine. This problem also occurred for another driver in the family about 2 weeks (4 fuel fills) earlier.
