THIS IS MY SECOND COMPLAINT CONCERNING THE REAR WINDOWS OF MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILED CONCERNING THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THE NUMBER OF "REPEAT" FAILURES, I JUST GOT DONE SEALING THE OTHER BACK DOOR WINDOW SHUT WITH SILICONE SEALANT. IT IS PRETTY BAD WHEN YOU OWE THE BANK $11,000 FOR A VEHICLE AND YOU HAVE TO CONSTANTLY PUT MONEY INTO IT BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE PART THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY- VEHICLES WINDOW TRACKS DEFECTIVE WITH PLASTIC CLIPS. WINDOW WOULD FALL DOWN DUE TO DEFECTIVE PLASTIC WINDOW CLIPS HOLDING WINDOWS ONTO TRACKS. I WOULD PUT THE POWER WINDOW UP AND THE NEXT THING THE WINDOW WOULD FALL DOWN. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME IT WOULD COST $400 TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I'VE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ONLINE BUT NO RECALLS WERE PUT INTO EFFECT. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT IS $400 EACH WINDOW. ALSO THE ORIGINAL WINDOW THAT'S IS STILL GOOD CANNOT BE REATTACHED ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE NEW PART WOULD INCLUDE THE TRACK AND WINDOW TOGETHER. SO WHAT DO I DO WITH THE ORIGINAL WINDOW THAT IS STILL GOOD. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. I FEEL OWNERS OF 2006 JEEP LIBERTY'S SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAID DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIP. PLEASE HAVE CHRYSLER JEEP DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WENT DOWN. IT WAS CHILLY, SO I ASK MY SON TO PUT THE WINDOW UP AND HE SAID I DIDN'T PUT IT DOWN. I TRIED TO ROLL IT UP (POWER WINDOW) AND HEARD A GRINDING NOISE, BUT THE WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP. IT APPARENTLY JUST FELL DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND NOW I CAN NOT GET IT UP. I WENT ON -LINE TO SEE IF I COULD FIND A FIX AND ENDED UP FINDING A HUGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING AND THEY SAID I COULD BRING IT IN AND DIAGNOSTIC IS $120.00. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? SO I TAPED A PLASTIC BAG OVER THE WINDOW FOR NOW, BUT I DID NOT REALIZE HOW MUCH I USED MY REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FOR DRIVING, UNTIL IT WAS NO LONGER USABLE. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THIS MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE DEALERSHIP OR CHRYSLER. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY AUTOMOBILE, 2006 MODEL YEAR, MULTIPLE INCIDENTS OF DOOR WINDOW DROPPING SUDDENLY INTO THE DOOR FRAME. DRIVERS DOOR HAS HAPPENED TWICE, FRONT PASSENGER DOOR ONCE, DRIVER'S SIDE REAR PASSENGER DOOR HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES AND PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR ONCE. ON TWO OCCASIONS THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE RESULTING CHAOS HAS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. JEEP DEALERSHIP SAYS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR JEEP LIBERTY FROM 2002 TO 2006. THEY HAVE NO SOLUTION TO OFFER OTHER THAN REPLACING THE WINDOW SOLENOID WITH SAME TYPE THAT KEEPS FAILING. *TR

I AM WRITING TO GIVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THROUGHOUT PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR AND GLASS REPLACED. THE GLASS FALLS INTO THE DOOR AND WILL NOT ROLL UP. THE FIRST TIME, AND EVEN SECOND, I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT IN STRIDE AND ACCEPT IT, PAYING THE LARGE SUM TO GET IT FIXED. HOWEVER, AS THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN ON AT LEAST 4 OTHER OCCASIONS - TWO OF WHICH HAPPENED WITHIN FIVE DAYS OF EACH OTHER IN MID SEPTEMBER 2010 - I AM QUITE DISCOURAGED. I NOW HAVE ONE WINDOW STILL DOWN - PASSENGER FRONT - AND IT IS CURRENTLY TAPED UP. HOWEVER, IN FLORIDA WEATHER, IT FREQUENTLY MELTS AND FALLS DOWN. THIS LEAVES MY CAR WINDOW DOWN AND EXPOSED IN PUBLIC WHILE I AM AT WORK - WHICH COULD LEAD TO MANY DANGERS. I AM SICK OF TAKING MY CAR IN EVERY FEW MONTHS BECAUSE JEEP CANNOT SIMPLY FIX THIS PROBLEM. I PAID A PRICE FOR MY CAR, AND COULD EASILY HAVE BOUGHT ANOTHER CAR BY NOW WITH THE MONEY I HAVE SPENT ON FIXING THE WINDOWS IN THIS CAR - AROUND 350 TO 500 A POP FOR EACH TIME. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND JEEP SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE DEFAULT. *TR

1. OPERATING NORMALLY 2. POWER WINDOW FAILURE. OCCURS EVERY 20K MILES OF NORMAL USE. FAILURE DUE TO A BROKEN PLASTIC BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE WINDOW TO THE REGULATOR WIRE COIL. WHEN FAILURE OCCURS, WINDOW MAY SLIP DOWN RESULTING IN POSSIBLE WEATHER DAMAGE AND SECURITY RISKS. 3. THE FACTORY FIX IS COSTLY AND DOESN'T REPLACE THE PLASTIC BRACKET. THE PERMANENT FIX IS TO REPLACE THAT BRACKET WITH A METAL ONE FOR ABOUT $90 + 1 HRS LABOR PER WINDOW. *TR

PAID OVER $600 TO REPAIR THE BACK WINDOWS BUT WHEN THE 3RD ONE FAILED, WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WE WERE TOLD TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND CHRYSLER WOULD PAY THE DEALER FOR THE REPAIRS.

I SEARCHED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG 2006 JEEP LIBERTIES. A FORUM SUGGESTED THAT I REPORT IT.

IT IS COMMON THAT 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL FREQUENTLY. I HAVE HAD ALL 4 OF MY WINDOWS FAIL; TWO OF THE WINDOWS HAVE FAILED A SECOND TIME FOLLOWING DEALER REPAIR. ALTHOUGH THE REAR WINDOWS ARE RARELY USED, BOTH HAVE FALLEN COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUSLY FLAWED DESIGN THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY JEEP/CHRYSLER. *TR

WITHIN THE LAST YEAR ALL FOUR WINDOWS ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE FAILED, ONE OF THEM FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. THE FIRST WINDOW FAILED SEPTEMBER OF 2009. I HAD MY WINDOW PARTLY DOWN AND WHEN I WENT TO ROLL IT UP IT MADE A TERRIBLE NOISE AND THE GLASS FELL INTO THE DOOR. I PAID TO HAVE IT REPAIRED WHICH COST ME $600. IN AUGUST OF 2010 THE BACK TWO WINDOWS BEGAN TO FALL INTO THE DOOR ON THEIR OWN, I HAD NOT TRIED TO ROLL THEM DOWN, AS I WAS DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN A WEEK OF EACH OTHER. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SUGGESTED I CALL JEEP TO REQUEST HELP. JEEP AGREED TO REPAIR BOTH OF THESE WINDOWS FOR ME. WITHIN ONE WEEK OF THE REPAIR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AS I CAME TO A STOP IN A PARKING LOT. I AM CURRENTLY WAITING TO HEAR FROM JEEP ABOUT THE REPAIR OF THIS WINDOW. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THIS HAPPENED TO MY CAR FIVE TIMES IN TOTAL, (THE FIRST WINDOW WENT OUT ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO.) *TR
