I HAVE A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY THAT I HAVE HAD FOR FOUR YEARS. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IN THE BACK WINDOWS 3 TIMES. JEEP IS REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT DOING THIS 3X'S IS EVEN AN ISSUE. ALSO, MY JEEP DEALER WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS WHEN I CALL TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE ALREADY RECALLED ITEMS FIXED. *TR

1. I PURCHASED MY JEEP LIBERTY CRD NEW IN SEP 2006. I NOTICED COMING HOME FROM WORK TODAY THAT IT SOUNDED LIKE THE REAR WINDOW DRIVER SIDE WAS SLIGHTLY OPEN SO I TRIED TO CLOSE IT AND HEARD A GRATING NOISE SO I STOPPED PUSHING THE BUTTON. DROVE HOME. GOT OUT AND LOOKED. SAW IT WAS DOWN ABOUT AN INCH. TRIED TO RAISE IT. SAME NOISE. USED MY HANDS AND PUSHED IT UP. KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. GOT THE HUSBAND. HE PULLED OFF THE PANEL... WE SAW THE ORANGE REGULATOR CORD WAS NOT ATTACHED. THEN DISCOVERED IT WAS NOT SCREWED IN TO THE MOTOR ON THE OTHER END. BROKEN PLASTIC. ODOMETER READING 36150. PRICELESS. 2. THIS IS THE FIRST I HAVE HAD THE PROBLEM. I LIVE IN COLORADO AND NO ONE EVEN SITS IN THE REAR SEAT. YES IT GETS HOT. BUT I HAD A 1994 FORD EXPLORE WITH OVER 200K THAT I SIGNED OVER TO MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GRADUATED AND THE WINDOWS NEVER DIED.... 3. APPEARS SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY AT 36150 I WILL NEED TO CONTACT THE DEALER AND PAY $375 TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR THAT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AS NONFUNCTIONAL. *TR

EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAD TO GET TWO WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED IN MY 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. THE JEEP HAS 19,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE FIRST WAS REPLACED. ANOTHER WAS DONE AT 30,000. I AM NOW AT 32,000 AND THE ONE THE WAS REPLACED AT 19,000 IS BAD AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP IS QUICK TO REPLACE THE REGULATORS, AND I'VE BEEN TOLD DIRECTLY FRONT HE DEALERSHIP THAT THESE ARE A COMMON PROBLEM. MY WARRANTY RUNS OUT IN 3,000 MILES AND THEN IT WILL COST ME 79 FOR THE PART, PLUS THE LABOR OF HAVING IT INSTALLED EVERYTIME ONE GOES BAD. THE JEEP BRAND SHOULD BE LOOKING INTO THE ISSUE INSTEAD OF SIMPLY REPLACING THEM WHEN THEY GO BAD. TYPICALLY WHEN THEY STOP WORKING, THE WINDOW WILL EITHER FALL, OR GET STUCK DOWN. IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE TO KEEP HAVING TO RETURN TOT HE DEALER EVER COUPLE OF MONTHS TO KEEP MY WINDOWS WORKING PROPERLY. *TR

I HAVE AN '03 JEEP LIBERTY AND 2 YEARS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT, WE STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE IGNITION CYLINDER. IT STARTED TO FREEZE UP AND WOULD NOT TURN SOME TIMES,UNTIL IT GOT TO THE PLACE IT WOULD NOT TURN AT ALL. SO WE TOOK IT TO DADE JEEP CHRYSLER IN SOUTH MIAMI,FL..AND SO THEY REPLACE THE IGNITION CYLINDER AND TUNBLERS [SUPPOSEDLY]. AND THAT WAS IN '05 AND HERE WE ARE IN '08, AND WE'RE HAVING THE SAME IDENTICAL PROBLEM AGAIN. AND THEIR TELLING ME I HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER IGNITION. THE JEEP IS JUST 5YRS. OLD. I CAN REMEMBER WHEN SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

IT HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY! I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2002. MY FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING (WITH MY KIDS) IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA:HAD IT BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, I KNOW THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN INJURIES. I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS. FIRST RECALL 2004 AND ANOTHER AT THE END OF 2007. JANUARY 2008 WHILE I DRIVING BOTH FRONT TIRES POPPED OFF (VERY SCARY), THEN SECOND RECALL WAS DONE. SINCE THIS WAS SUPPOSEDLY TAKEN CARE OF, I THOUGHT THAT ALL WAS OK AND THEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN LAST NIGHT! WHY CAN SOMEBODY MAKE JEEP FIND AN ANSWER BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY, OR IS THIS WHAT HEY ARE WAITING FOR? THE RIGHT NUMBER OF DEATHS. *TR
