2007 Chrysler Town and Country — 3.3L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Town and Country 3.3L.

Body VANEngine 3.3LTransmission Automatic 4-spd

Built on the RS platform as a 3.3L van paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, the 2007 Chrysler Town and Country returns an EPA-estimated 19 combined mpg while requiring 5 quarts of 5W-20 or 5W-30 API viscosity oil with a filter. The vehicle's fuel and propulsion system is the primary source of its 242 owner complaints and two recalls, situating this model year in the middle of the nameplate's 1990-2018 reliability timeline. Specifically, it falls far below the 773-complaint peak seen in 2011, meaning the 2007 model is moderately problematic but avoids the worst reliability extremes of its generation.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs at 102,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 model year is the final year of the fifth-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but the federal record does not include complaint or recall totals for 2007 itself, making a direct numerical comparison to the 2001 (473 complaints, 7 recalls) and 2011 (773 complaints, 3 recalls) bookends impossible. However, the data provided for 2007 shows 11 crash complaints and 6 fire complaints, with the top complaint areas being Fuel/Propulsion System (39), Electrical System (20), Structure (15), and Air Bags (13). This indicates that the 2007 model had notable safety-related issues, particularly in the fuel system, which aligns with the broader generation trend of high complaint volumes. Without total complaint or recall figures for 2007, it is not possible to determine where it falls precisely in the arc, but the presence of multiple fire and crash complaints suggests it is not a low-risk year. Based solely on the available data, the 2007 model is not a recommended buy due to the reported safety concerns in critical systems.
