BAD ACTUATOR ON THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOWS. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME I NEED TO GET THE WINDOW FIXED. IT HAS NEVER BEEN CORRECTED. THERE IS A NEW ACTUATOR SUPPOSE TO BE BETTER BUT HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW ALSO. BAD THING ABOUT IT THE WINDOW CAN FALL DOWN AND IT WOULD BE UNSECURED. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY FELL DOWN AND WILL NOT GO UP. IT WAS A SAFETY HAZARD TO DRIVE THE FREEWAYS (THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET HOME FROM LOS ANGELES) IN THE RAIN WITH A WINDOW THAT MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALERSHIP ALREADY FIXED THIS PROBLEM ONCE, AND TWICE IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY IN 2007 WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF PURCHASE THE REAR RIGHT WINDOW MOTOR WENT OUT AND WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND REPLACED. WHILE STILL UNDER THE WARRANTY THE SAME WINDOW MOTOR WHEN OUT AGAIN AND WAS AGAIN REPLACED. NOW I NO LONGER HAVE A WARRANTY BOTH REAR WINDOW MOTORS HAVE GONE OUT. TO REPLACE BOTH WINDOWS WILL COST ME AROUND $830 DOLLARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH THESE WINDOW MOTORS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IF THESE MOTORS KEEP GOING OUT LIKE THIS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND WE AS CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO FOOT THIS BILL, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

STEERING, EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL, EQUIPMENT
AT 16,000 MILES MY HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE WENT OUT ON MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND AGAIN AT 46,000. THE DEALER CLAIMS THIS IS "NORMAL" AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON A FAULTY PART. IF IT WEREN'T $462 I WOULDN'T THINK TWICE ABOUT IT. I GOT A SECOND ESTIMATE FROM THE GUY WHO WORKED ON MY OLD CAR(MAIN ST. GARAGE, FIRPLAY CO) AND HE SAID THAT HE'S SEEN QUITE A FEW JEEP LIBERTY'S COME IN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM...ONE LAST WEEK AND BEFORE THAT THERE WERE 3 OTHERS IN A 2 WEEK PERIOD. HE ALSO STATED THAT JEEP IS NOW USING A DIFFERENT COMPANY TO SUPPLY THEM WITH THE PART WHICH, TO ME, MEANS THEY KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE OLD ONE. *TR

VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
JEEP 2006 LIBERTY BOUGHT NEW 12/26/06. AS OF TODAY MY JEEP WILL BE BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIPS SERVICE DEPT. TO HAVE THE BACK PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW LOOKED AT. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE JEEP REGARDING THE WINDOWS SINCE 2007. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE REGULATORS AND THE WINDOWS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE LAST TIME THE REGULATOR AND WINDOW WAS REPLACED WAS AUGUST 2008 AND NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER THE SAME ISSUE OCCURS. THE IS SOMETHING THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS AND HAVE RESOLVED FOR OTHER OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
2006 CHRYSLER JEEP LIBERTY SUDDEN ACCELERATING. *DT THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 65 MPH. NO AMOUNT OF PUSHING ON THE BRAKES MADE THE CAR STOP. SHE WAS GOING DOWN A MOUNTAIN, WHIZZED PAST A STOP SIGN, AND WENT AROUND ANOTHER CURVE UNTIL SHE CAME TO A MAJOR STATE ROAD WITH LOTS OF SPEEDING CARS. SHE HAD TO MAKE A DECISION EITHER TO TRY TO MERGE ONTO THE ROAD OR PLOW INTO THE MOUNTAIN. SHE PLOWED INTO THE MOUNTAIN AND CAME TO A STOP WHEN HER CAR CRASHED A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF THE ROAD INCHES FROM THE ONGOING TRAFFIC. BOTH OF HER FEET WERE ON THE BRAKES THE ENTIRE TIME. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED ON ITS SIDE AND THE ENGINE WAS STILL ROARING. *JB

WHAT A JOKE, I TRADED IN MY FOREIGN CAR (WHICH WITH 150,000 MILES, I DUMPED PROBABLY A $1000 IN TOTAL FOR REPAIRS) FOR AN AMERICAN VEHICLE. MY BACK WINDOW FELL DOWN AND LOOKING AT A $500 BILL TO REPAIR IT, I TOOK SILICONE WINDOW SEALER AND SEALED THE WINDOW SHUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY, MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE ONE THAT HAS A 100,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY LIKE MY LAST ONE DID. I CAN'T BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE REPORTS OF WINDOW FAILURES THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT STAND BY THEIR VEHICLE. THEY CONTINUALLY MANUFACTURE VEHICLES WITH OBVIOUS DEFECTS, BUT WITH 32,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE HIT YOU UP FOR $500 A "REPAIR" BILL. THIS IS NOT A REPAIR, IT IS EXTORTION TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS AND CONTINUES TO BE A DEFECT IN WORKMANSHIP AND MATERIALS, AS WELL AS POOR DESIGN. IT IRKS ME WHEN AMERICAN CAR MAKERS WHINE AND GET BAIL-OUT MONEY BECAUSE THEIR PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE AND "NOT THE SAME WORKMANSHIP" AS A FOREIGN VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, ALL FOUR WINDOWS WOULD GRADUALLY SLIDE DOWN. THE CONTACT ENGAGED THE POWER BUTTONGS FOR THE WINDOWS AND ALTHOUGH SHE COULD HEAR A NOISE, THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT MOVE BACK UP. THE WINDOWS WERE SO FAR DOWN THAT THEY COULD NOT BE PULLED UP. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 25,045. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,000.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
1. USING THE FRONT, POWER CONTROLS, I ROLLED DOWN THE EACH OF THE 4 WINDOWS OF MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY TO 3/4. 2. MY REAR, DRIVERS WINDOW DID NOT ROLL BACK UP WITH THE REMAINDER WHEN PROMPTED FROM THE FRONT CONTROLS. MY PASSENGERS AND I HEARD A SLIGHT CLICKING A GRINDING, THEN THE WINDOW FELL TO 1/2 OPEN. AT THIS POINT, THE WINDOW WILL NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. 3. MY GARAGE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAILED MOTOR AND REGULATOR. SAYS HE CHANGED SEVERAL IN THE PAST MONTH. TALKS ABOUT HOW EACH OF THE JEEPS ARE MADE WITH POOR WIRING AND REGULATORS, AND HOW HE CHANGES SEVERAL, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, AT $500 A JOB. CHRYSLER HAS YET TO RECALL A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT; THOUGH THEY HAVE RECALLED THIS EQUIPMENT FOR THE SAME ISSUES IN THE PAST. THIS CONTINUED USE OF POOR COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMERS BURDEN TO BEAR. PLEASE URGE A RECALL ON POWER WINDOW REGULATORS AND MOTORS FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT A WINDOW IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ADN I'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 1 YEAR. LAST TIME IT WAS BY BABIES REAR WINDOW THAT DROPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME IT IS WAS PASSENGER WINDOW THAT DROPPED ON OUR WAY TO THE PARK. I DIDN'T EVEN USE IT BECAUSE THE AC WAS ON. IT JUST DROPPED LOUDLY, EVERYONE SCREAMED, I SWERVED AND WE ALMOST HIT A SIGN! LUCKILY I GAINED CONTROL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $500 TO GET IT FIXED AND BE OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 DAYS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND I WANT CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR

USED VEHICLE, CARFAX SHOWS ISSUE WITH WINDOW REGULATOR TWICE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITH MY WINDOW 1/2 WAY DOWN, THE WINDOW JUST WENT CRASHING INTO THE DOOR. THE WINDOW GLASS DID NOT BREAK. JEEP DOES NOT ISSUE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR SO YOU HAVE TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART @ $225 OR HAVE THEM REPLACE IT FOR @ $400. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE POWER WINDOWS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE A DESIGN DEFECT. THE ORIGINAL DESIGN INCLUDES A PLASTIC PART WHICH BREAKS AND ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. MY DRIVER-SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BEEN HELD UP WITH TAPE FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS. I RECENTLY HAD TO PAY $250 TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE OWNERS HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME WINDOW REPLACED TWO OR THREE TIMES AT $300-$500 PER INCIDENT.MOPAR BODY SERVICE BULLETIN 23-008-09 AND 23-014-08 DETAIL THE ISSUE AND CHRYSLER'S CORRECTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ([XXX]) IF THIS IS SUBJECT TO A NHTSA SAFETY RECALL OR OF I SHOULD START A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THERE IS AN AFTERMARKET KIT WHICH REPLACES THE FAULTY PLASTIC PART WITH A STEEL PART AT HTTP://WWW.STEIGERPERFORMANCE.COM. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY
I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2006, LAST YEAR THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND THEN ALMOST EXACTLY A YEAR LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND REGULATOR (BECAUSE OF AN "UPGRADE" IN THE REGULATOR PART YOU HAVE TO BUY A WINDOW AS WELL). FROM LAST MARCH TO THIS MARCH THEY HAVE DOUBLED THE PRICE OF THE REGULATOR MAKING THE REPAIR EVEN MORE COSTLY TO CONSUMERS.
