Since the 3rd and 4th generations have a thread about mileage, and I just hit a milestone on my 2009, I decided to start this thread for 5th generation owners.

I hope the "High Milers Club" still exist, I want to get the 200,000 mile license plate frame.

Agreed. The only tranny I have ever had crap out was the only one that I changed the fluid and filter in.

My mechanic keeps telling me to not change the fluid, unless it's really harsh use.
New, slipperier fluid can make problems worse.

The only Chrysler mini-van I recall changing the fluid on (a 1990 Grand Voyager), they found pieces of snap ring in the bottom, but the transmission had no issues other than some jerking for a few minutes A YEAR BEFORE.

(I can't say for sure that I never changed the trans fluid on any other vehicle.)

Just hit 136,000 miles on my 2010. (I have no where near kept pace with the kind of miles it was seeing before I bought it 5 years ago, when it already had over 109,000.)

174,450 on my 2010. I'm contemplating starting a thread on disintegrating-lifting-points, where we can brag about how many ounces, or pounds of rust we removed to find any intact metal that might allow us to attach new metal hoping to restore this important body function.
I will start the " bragging" at 1 lb 5 oz. Just at the passenger rear. I discovered that the flange on the rear wheelwells have the inner wheelwell skin spotwelded to the quarter panel. The spotwelds are 4 to 5 inches apart. I inserted a paperclip all the way into the flange. The flange is 1 inch wide. The entire wheelwell flange is unsealed fron rain and salt. Chrysler did not seal this critical body area. All the salty winter slush, thrown by the tires, sprays into this flange and settles into the multi-layer steel lifting point.
Anybody with me on starting a class action lawsuit?

Good luck finding an attorney.

This is one of the reasons vehicle prices have to increase. Manufacturers have to spend thousands of dollars fighting meritless lawsuits.

I can just picture an attorney going before a judge in the Rust Belt complaining that their client's 11+ year old car with 174+k miles car had some corrosion

The pinch weld and rocker panels on these vans are never long for this world. As long as the frame is somewhat solid and the rear spring mounts are good you should be fine. Words from a Minnesotan who doesn't ever wash his cars...

88k miles on our '08 T&C. Just replaced the 2 original tires that my parents hadn't replaced. The guy at the tire store said they looked good for being 14 years old.

Hey, no such lawsuits in Canada... then why our cars are much more expensive than in the US? 😭
