MY 2007 LIBERTY HAS SLOW WINDOW REGULATORS. THEY GO UP AND DOWN SLOWLY WHEN IN USE. IT CAN TAKE 8-10 SECONDS FOR THEM TO OPEN OR CLOSE. I HAD THE PASSENGER SIDE REPLACED AT THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY SAID IT IS TYPICAL FOR THEM TO SLOW DOWN AND EVEN BREAK COMPLETELY BUT, THEY ARE WAITING FOR A NEW DESIGN TO BE PRODUCED. BUT NOW, THE PASSENGER SIDE IS SLOW AGAIN AND THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS STARTED DOING IT TO. WHEN IT IS COLD OUTSIDE THEY BARELY MOVE AT ALL. NOW AFTER FURTHER READINGS, I GUESS THEY WILL JUST EVENTUALLY FALL INTO THE DOORS ALSO LIKE EVERYONE ELSE'S. COME ON CHRYSLER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH YAH, MY CARPETS WORE OUT FAST TO. DEALER SAID IT IS WEAR AND TEAR. MY DODGE, CHEVY AND TOYOTA NEVER DID THAT. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR IS FAULTY IN 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. ACCORDING TO THE JEEP DEALER, THE REGULATOR HAS BEEN REDESIGNED, BUT THE OWNER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL REPLACEMENT COSTS. THE WINDOW CAN BE SLID UP AND DOWN BY ANYONE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE INCLUDING CHILDREN (MY 3 YEAR-OLD DID IT FROM HER CAR SEAT). THERE IS A THEFT CONSEQUENCE AND ALSO A CONSEQUENCE WITH CHILDREN NEXT TO THESE WINDOWS THAT CAN AND HAVE FAILED. *TR

DEFECT IN THE TRACK OF ALL FOUR WINDOWS. PART HAS COME OFF OF THREE TRACKS ON JEEP LIBERTY WINDOWS, CAUSING ALL 3 WINDOWS TO FALL DOWN. ALL NOW HAVE TO BE TAPED UP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE/HAZARD AS ANYONE COULD EASILY BREAK INTO CAR WITHOUT BREAKING WINDOWS OR PICKING LOCKS. IT ALSO IMPAIRS VISION ON DRIVERS DOOR BECAUSE OF BEING TAPED TO STAY UP. *TR

MY CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND THE NEXT MORNING, MY DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN EVEN THOUGH I HAD LEFT IT UP. 2 DAYS LATER, AFTER I FINISHED WORK, I WENT TO MY CAR IN THE PARKING LOT AND MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN AND WOULDN'T ROLL BACK UP( AGAIN, I HAD LEFT IT IN THE UP POSITION) THESE ARE POWER WINDOWS. APPARENTLY THE WINDOW REGULATORS MALFUNCTIONED AND BROKE EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE UNDER NO STRESS.( I ALMOST NEVER USE MY REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW). AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY PREVALENT FOR 2007 JEEP LIBERTY'S. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS MALFUNCTION IS THAT IT LEFT THE VALUABLES IN MY CAR UNSECURED AND I WAS LUCKY THAT THEY WERE STILL THERE WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR. THE MORE SERIOUS PROBLEM IS THAT IF THE WINDOWS DROP WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, IT COULD STARTLE A DRIVER AND MAKE THEM THINK THEY WERE HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AS IT TRULY IS RAMPANT FOR MOST JEEP LIBERTY 2007 OWNERS. THANK YOU. *TR

RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ON ITS OWN AND HAD TO BE TAPED UP FOR 6 WEEKS WHILE A REPLACEMENT PART, THAT WAS ON BACK ORDER, FINALLY ARRIVED. FOUR MONTHS LATER THE RIGHT FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE ON ITS OWN. NO ONE WAS IN THE SUV WHEN IT LET THE WINDOW DROP OPEN. THE PART FOR THIS WINDOW TOOK ONLY FIVE DAYS TO REACH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE VERY DAY THAT IT WAS REPLACED THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR LET THE WINDOW DROP AND I COULD NOT GET IT TO COME BACK UP. FINALLY USED A PAIR OF NEEDLENOSE PLIERS TO GET HOLD OF IT AND THEN TAPE IT UP. OF COURSE, THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE THIS PART IN STOCK. THIS IS SIMPLY A JOKE AND THE FACT THAT JEEP HAS NOT HAD A RECALL ON THESE WINDOW REGULATORS SHOULD BE A CRIME. THE VEHICLE IS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED THAT HAD A STICKER PRICE OF $25,000. SO MUCH FOR AMERICAN MADE QUALITY. *TR

IN 2007 JEEP LIBERTY, THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO DROP OPEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON MY VEHICLE WITHIN THE LAST YEAR. THIS COULD BE HAZARDOUS IF IT HAPPENED DURING A STORM OR IN OTHER SITUATIONS WHERE SAFETY DEMANDS THE WINDOW REMAIN CLOSED. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, WE WERE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NO ONE WAS TOUCHING THE WINDOW CONTROLS AND SUDDENLY THE WINDOW BEGAN TO DROP SLOWLY. THE TIME BEFORE, THE WINDOW DROPPED SUDDENLY AND QUICKLY. AGAIN, NO ONE WAS OPERATING THE CONTROLS AT THAT TIME. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE LEFT REAR WINDOW FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE REGULATOR WHEEL WAS BROKE. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT GOT BROKEN. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED AND THE COST WOULD BE HIGH FOR THE PARTS AND LABOR. *TR

I OWN A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. IN FEB 2008 MY LEFT REAR WINDOW COLLAPSED INTO THE PANEL. AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS REPAIRED, OR I THOUGHT IT WAS. IN AUG 2009 MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW COLLAPSED INTO THE PANEL, ONCE AGAIN IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS REPAIRED. IN OCT 2009 MY LEFT REAR WINDOW COLLAPSED AGAIN. NOW THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH LIBERTY'S AND BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY NOW I WAS TOLD I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. IT IS DOCUMENTED ON SEVERAL CONSUMER ADVOCATES REPORTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IF THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THESE VEHICLES I AM AFRAID OF POSSIBLE INJURIES. I DO NOT FEEL IT IS FAIR THAT WE THE PUBLIC SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR JEEP'S RECURRING PROBLEMS. I FEEL A TOTAL RECALL AND PROPER REPLACEMENT OF THE REGULATORS AND WINDOW ITSELF AS PRESCRIBED BY THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS. *TR

MY DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WINDOW FELL INTO DOOR AND I WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP IT WOULD COST ME $375 FOR THE REGULATOR AND $250 IN LABOR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN SEEN THE WINDOW BUT KNEW WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF HOW OFTEN THEY SEE THIS IN JEEP LIBERTY. WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL? WILL I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THE REMAINDER OF MY WINDOWS AS WELL? *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH DURING RAINY CONDITIONS, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTED TO VEER INTO TWO LANES. THE CONTACT RELEASED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, ENGAGED THE BRAKES AND EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL ON THE VEHICLE. HE CONTINUED TO DRIVE TO HIS DESTINATION; HOWEVER, HE IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE REAR AXLE DEFECT AND SAFETY RISK. THE FAILURE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY A MECHANIC OR DEALER. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 35,000.

JEEP LIBERTY, 2007 - REAR WINDOWS FALL INTO DOOR PANEL WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. MY CHILDREN SIT IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY VEHICLE WHEN MOVING AND MY DAUGHTER HAD HER FINGERS PULLED INTO THE WINDOW POCKET. ANOTHER TIME THE WEATHER WAS COLD WITH HARD RAIN AND THE WINDOW JUST DROPPED, I'M IN TRAFFIC, I WAS DISTRACTED BY INCIDENT AND IT TOOK SEVERAL MINUTES TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY AND COVER THE OPEN WINDOW AREA WITH A BLANKET AND AGAIN THERE WERE CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT. THE DEFECTIVE REGULATOR ON THE JEEP LIBERTY AND OTHER JEEPS HAS BEEN REPORTED NUMEROUS TIMES BY CONSUMERS WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE EQUIPMENT IN THE SAME VEHICLE 4 OR MORE TIMES. CHRYSLER/JEEP REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHICH RESULTS IN THE WINDOW GLASS FALLING INTO THE DOOR, LEAVING WINDOWS OPEN WHILE CHILDREN OR ANIMALS ARE IN THE VEHICLE AND LEAVES THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IF LOCKED AND PARKED ANYWHERE. THIS FAILURE ACCURS IN OVER 75 % OF THE JEEP VEHICLES AND ONCE THE PART IS REPLACED CAN FAIL AGAIN WITHIN A MONTH. THIS IS NOT JUST AN EXPENSIVE INCONVENIENCE IT DOES EFFECT THE SAFETY OF INDIVIDUALS IN THE VEHICLE WHEN MOVING AND WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED AND LOCKED. *TR

PROBLEM: REAR PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW IS NON-OPERATIONAL. FIRST, IT WAS 3 INCHES OPEN AND NOW IT HAS SLIPPED INTO DOOR PANEL. FAILURE: REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WON'T GO UP OR DOWN. IT'S PRESENTLY IN DOWN/OPEN POSITION. CORRECTION: WILL TAKE TO CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. "IF THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE." SO SAID THE TECHNICIAN. INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM...SOME DRIVERS REPORTED AS MANY AS 4 REPAIRS TO 1 WINDOW. REPAIR COST IS UPWARDS TO $500. FRUSTRATING....I DON'T HAVE $500 TO SPEND ON FAULTY EQUIPMENT. BECAUSE OF THE # OF SITUATIONS I READ, MY BROKEN WINDOW IS HARDLY A FLUKE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!

MY WIFE'S 2007 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATORS ON BOTH REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS BROKE WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF EACH OTHER. WHEN THEY DID, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE THEN THE WINDOW DROPPED. THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE INCIDENTS ALMOST CAUSED MY WIFE TO WRECK BECAUSE THE NOISE STARTLED HER TO THE POINT SHE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT HER. JEEP NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

COMPONENT: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS DETAILS: THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY JEEP GOES OUT IT IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN THE MAKING OF THE VEHICLE, IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE 3 TIMES IN 8 MONTHS AND GM REFUSES TO RECALL IT. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE WINDOW JUST FALL OUT OF TRAC K. COST IS NOT AFFORDABLE EACH TIME @ $500 TO FIX IT. ALSO THE FIX IS TOTAL REPLACEMENT OF PARTS AND WINDOW GLASS BECAUSE THE WINDOW GLASS WILL NOT FIT THE NEW PARTS? UM THEN MAYBE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BECAUSE THEY KNOW IF IT IS FIXED WITH THE SAME PARTS IT WILL NOT STAY FIXED!!!!!!! *TR

LEFT A SHOPPING CENTER WHEN IT WAS ABOUT 86 DEG OUTSIDE, AND THEN PROCEEDED TO ENTER THE HIGHWAY, GOT UP TO 68MPH, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR, AND SCARED THE'!@#$% OUT OF ME, AS I ALMOST SWERVED THINKING THAT I WAS HIT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THAT A WINDOW IS SORT OF A SAFETY NET FROM THE OUTSIDE WORLD. WELL THIS IS THE FIFTH (5TH) TIME THAT MY WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED ON ALL DOORS, AND THE CAR IS A 2007 JEEP LIBERTY WITH 37K MILES ON IT. ON THREE (3) OF THE OCCASIONS, THE DOORS WERE STUCK SHUT, DUE TO SOME CABLE BEING LOOSE. I HAD TO GO TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THE DOORS TAKEN OFF AND REPAIRED, AND PUT BACK ON. AND THAT IS WHEN I BEGAN THINKING, WHAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, AND THE WINDOW REGULATOR'S CABLE SNAPPED LOCKING THE DOOR. WOULD I BE ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR, MOST LIKELY NOT. *TR

THEN JUST AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRED, REGULATOR ON DRIVERS SIDE REAR WINDOW WENT OUT... SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN PROBLEM. VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED!! *TR
