VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
WHILE DRIVING ON 75N WITH NO WARRING MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THEN JUST FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I HAD TWO PUPPIES IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THEY WERE TRYING TO GO BY THE WINDOW. DROVE 5 MILES LIKE THIS TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND A TUFFY AUTO SERVICE STORE. THE WINDOW WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY REGULATOR AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $400 TO FIX IT AND ABOUT 3 HOURS. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, SO I DUCK TAPED PLASTIC TO THE WINDOW AND DROVE ANOTHER 2 HOURS NORTH ON 75 TO GET HOME. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND AFTER A SERVER SAFETY ISSUE! I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP/CHRYSLER'S COMPLAINT LINE AND AFTER TWO DAYS HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER. I WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THERE ARE CLOSE TO 200 COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITUATION ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THAT JEEP IS NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM TO SEE HOW THIS WILL BE COVERED. THIS TRULY COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS WITH THE DEATH OF MY DOG AND WHAT IF A BABY WAS BACK THERE. IN MANY CASES THE WINDOW'S ARE ACTUALLY SHATTERING WITH OUT WARNING AS THEY FALL. *TR

POWER WINDOWS ON 2006 JEEP LIBERTY - 38,000 MILES - WINDOW DROPS HALFWAY DOWN, WHEN TRY POWER CONTROL IT GRINDS AND WINDOW WILL NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN WITH CONTROL, WINDOW FALLS INTO DOOR. THIS IS MY THIRD WINDOW & IT IS THE REGULATOR AGAIN. IT IS UNCONSCIONABLE THAT CHRYSLER/JEEP HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL (OR HAS NOT BEEN DIRECTED TO BY AN AUTHORITY) WHEN IT IS SO VERY OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD IT FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS. DURING THAT TIME I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 OF THE 4 POWER WINDOWS DUE TO MECHANISM FAILURE. TONIGHT ONE OF THE WINDOWS I HAVE REPLACED WITH MANUFACTURERS REPAIR KIT HAS BROKEN SO I WILL NEED TO REPLACE AGAIN. I HAVE CHECKED ON THE INTERNET AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY AND ONE THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT WITH RELIABLE METAL PARTS INSTEAD OF PLASTIC. AT $500 A WINDOW I CAN'T AFFORD TO CONTINUE TO KEEP REPLACING WINDOWS. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC
ESP/BAS MALFUNCTION ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO BREAK AND HAS CAUSED ME TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WILL SHAKE AND MAKE A GRINDING SOUND. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE REAR END SENSOR AND CHARGED ME $289.80 FOR REPAIRS. THEY ALSO SAID THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS CAUSING THE GRINDING SOUND AND MY BRAKES ARE FINE. AFTER LOOKING THIS UP ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT AND A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
