VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I OWN A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY 4-DOOR BOUGHT NEW IN CENTRAL FLORIDA. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER WINDOWS FAIL OPEN WITH NO WARNING OF IMPENDING FAILURE. WINDOWS HAVE FAILED IN A RAIN STORM ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND WAS DIFFICULT TO SEE TO DRIVE SAFELY. FAILURE OF THE BACK SIDE WINDOWS CAUSES A NEAR DEAFENING FLUTTER OF SOUND DUE TO THE WIND PASSING BY/THROUGH THE OPENING OF THE WINDOW. IN EACH INSTANCE, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED A DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR AND IN SOME INSTANCES THE GLASS WINDOW AS WELL. I'M ON MY SECOND OR THIRD REPLACEMENT OF EVERY SIDE WINDOW (4 EACH TOTAL). IF I DIDN'T HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, OWNING THIS VEHICLE WOULD BE COST PROHIBITIVE. BUT IF ANYTHING, THIS PROBLEM IS ABSOLUTELY ANNOYING AND AGGRAVATING. I HAVE HEARD THERE ARE A MYRIAD OF COMPLAINTS BY CUSTOMERS BUT I NEVER SEE A PERMANENT FIX BEING INTRODUCED BY CHRYSLER-JEEP OR EVEN A RECALL TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN. *TR

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE LOWER BALL JOINTS AND A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THEM FREE OF CHARGE. THERE AFTER LOUD POPPING NOISE CONTINUED AND THE UPPER BALL JOINT BROKE. THE UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN RECALLED IN OTHER STATES BUT ONLY THE LOWER BALL JOINT HAS BEEN RECALLED IN TN. I BELIEVE THAT THEY NEED TO BE RECALLED IN TN ALSO BECAUSE THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT THEY SHOULD PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED ON MY VEHICLE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
IN MARCH 2009 I PURCHASED A USED 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND IN AUGUST 2009 THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING JUST A LOUD CLICKING SOUND AND THEN YOU CAN MANUAL PULL AND PUSH THE WINDOW DOWN. A NEW REGULATOR/CABLE AND WINDOW HAD TO BE INSTALLED. IN MARCH 2010 THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW. IN JULY 2010 THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. EACH TIME THE WINDOWS STOPS WORKING THEY NEED TO REPLACED. MONEY OUT OF MY POCKET, NOW MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT AND THE WORK THAT GETS DOWN ONLY HAS A WARRANTY FOR SO LONG. THERE HAS TO BE A BETTER FIX THEN FORKING OVER $500+ EACH TIME A WINDOW STOPS WORKING. IT SEEMS AT THIS RATE IT'S GOING TO HAPPENED NOW EVERY YEAR. I AM AFRAID TO USE THE WINDOW AT ALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED!!!! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REAR WINDOW FELL DOWN AND DOES NOT STAY UP, USED A DEVICE TO KEEP FROM FALLING DOWN, 1 WEEK LATER THE OTHER ONE FELL DOWN. TOOK TO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE REGULATOR WAS BAD ON BOTH WINDOWS AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE WINDOW ALSO. THE REASON FOR THIS IS BECAUSE THE REGULATORS WERE REDESIGNED AND IT WILL COST OVER $800 TO REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. NO OLD PARTS ARE AVAILABLE HAVE TO PUT IN NEW PARTS. THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT REPAIRING ARE THE WINDOW CAN COME DOWN AND SOMEONE CAN GET IN YOUR CAR, THE OTHER SOLUTION IS TO HAVE IT FIXED SO IT CANNOT FALL DOWN UNTIL YOU GET THE MONEY TO REPLACE IT. *TR
