WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK WITH NORMAL USE. THIS HAS CREATED A FINANCIAL STRESS AND SAFETY ISSUE. MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP THAT DOOR OPENING MECHANISM GETS INTERFERED WITH WHEN THE REGULATOR BREAKS. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE WINDOWS TO STAY UP, AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPLACEMENT. BUT BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE WINDOWS WILL NOT FUNCTION.

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE REAR DRIVERS WINDOW HAVE BOTH FALLEN WHILE DRIVING. I CURRENTLY HAVE THEM TY WRAPPED UP. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX BUT ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EGRESS IN AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE,THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THIS NEEDS SOME ATTENTION!

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK... WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT.. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT APART AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED.. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING.. AND THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK.. I DID SOME RESEARCH TRYING TO LOCATE A PART AND YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE COMPONENT WHICH COSTS AN AVERAGE OF $145 INSTEAD OF THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT PROBABLY COSTS ABOUT $1.00. IT WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN LIBERTY'S AND I WAS APPALLED THAT EVEN NEW VEHICLES WERE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS! IN MY 10 MINUTE SEARCH 20 PEOPLE REPORTED ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART SEVERAL TIMES IN MORE THAN ONE WINDOW! CHRYSLER SHOULD REALLY CHANGE SOMETHING SO THIS PRODUCT DOESN'T FAIL SO OFTEN IN SO MANY VEHICLES! SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PART MALFUNCTIONING. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT MY SON!

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS ARE CONSTANTLY BREAKING AND THUS THE WINDOW FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR(S). I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE BROKEN WINDOW OPEN OR USE TAPE OR PLASTIC BAG TO KEEP RAIN OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD UNTIL I CAN GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE PAST 3 YEARS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ALL THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. EACH DOOR WINDOW, EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S WINDOW HAS BROKEN TWICE AND TODAY MAKES IT THREE TIME FOR THE REAR LEFT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MY CAR IN IS JEOPARDY WHEN THE WINDOW IS FULLY DOWN AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT IT UP WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THIS MODEL'S WINDOWS AND REGULATORS HAVE CAUSED MANY PEOPLE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACCORDING TO THIS SITES 175 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED SO FAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE REGULATORS FOR EVERYONE FOR FREE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY CAN MANUFACTURE A PART THAT WILL NOT BREAK WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF INSTALLATION. THE DEALER I GO TO STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I MUST PAY A $150 "CO-PAY" TO HAVE IT FIXED AS A "GOODWILL" COST COVERING OF JEEP-CHRYSLER BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR SHODDY DESIGN AND PARTS THAT KEEP BREAKING.

EQUIPMENT
THE WINDOWS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY KEEP FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS. ONE WINDOW I HAVE HAD IN THE REPAIR SHOP THREE TIMES (DEALERSHIP) TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT NOW I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH TO ME SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING BACK FROM A TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT STARTED HAILING WHICH WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS BECAUSE OF A BAD MOTOR INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THE CHEAPEST I HAVE FOUND TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS $300 PER WINDOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURING!

THE WINDOW REGULATOR'S IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CONTINUOUSLY BREAK AND THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN A CHILD IS TRAVELING IN THE CAR FOR THE WINDOW TO JUST FALL INTO THE DOOR. AND CHRYSLER WILL ONLY REPLACE WITH ANOTHER PART THAT WILL DO THE SAME THING IN 6 MONTHS.

ON 3/20/10 THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE CAR WAS PARKED WITH DOG INSIDE IN A SNOW STORM IN PARKER, CO. MY DOG JUMPED OUT AND WAS RECOVERED BY ANIMAL CONTROL. SEVERAL ITEMS IN MY JEEP WERE COVERED IN SNOW/ICE INCLUDING PAPERWORK AND OFFICIAL FORMS FOR FOR MY WORK THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RUINED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WINDOW REGULATORS IN THIS SAME VEHICLE. IN AUGUST OF 2009, THE REAR DIRVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE BEING USED IN LIBERTYS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENT OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GLASS AND REGULATOR. IN DECEMBER OF 2009, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BEGAN ROLLING UP CROOKED AND WAS REPLACED. THE PASSENGER WINDOW IS YET TO BE REPLACED AS I AM WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE $500.00 REPAIR COST SINCE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. *DT

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY THAT SPEWS GAS AS IT GETS FULL. IT HAS SHOT OUT AS MUCH AS 3-4 CUPS WORTH AT ITS WORST. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT IS SPILLED EACH TIME.I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A FAULTY VENTING MECHANISM IN THE GAS TANK AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON JEEPS AND DODGES. I MADE MENTION OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED INTO IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MUST BE THE GAS PUMP I AM USING. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT GAS STATIONS IN 8 STATES NOW. I AM SURE IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMPS. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM TOLD THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS SO NEW AND ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THOUGH. *TR *DT

MY TEEN DAUGHTER, AFTER SAVING FOR YEARS, JUST BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW TOTALLY DROPPED. AFTER SEARCHING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS APPARENT THAT CHRYSLER CORP DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS A SHAM THAT CONSUMER RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES IS DECLINING. PLEASE ADDRESS AND GIVE THE NEXT GENERATION A LITTLE HELP!!!!!! REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON 295 IN BALTIMORE, MD DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO FALL. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME I HAVE HAD A REGULATOR PROBLEM, SECOND TIME FOR THIS WINDOW. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY BECAUSE IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SURE ENOUGH ITS THE REGULATOR EXCEPT THIS TIME THEY AREN'T JUST REPLACING THE REGULATOR BUT THE GLASS TOO. I REALLY WANTED ANOTHER JEEP BUT SINCE I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVERYONE IN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM; THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING. IT ALSO REDUCES YOUR VISIBILITY WHEN YOU HAVE TO DUCT TAPE YOUR WINDOW SHUT. *TR

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, VISIBILITY:REAR WINDOW WIPER/WASHER
POWER WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY 2006 4X4 FAILED A SECOND TIME. AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I REALIZED THAT REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE SLID DOWN INTO DOOR AND COULD NOT BE PUSHED UP AGAIN. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN JULY 2008 AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILING OF THE POWER WINDOWS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR CAN NOT SAFELY LEFT ALONE CLOSED BECAUSE THE WINDOW ALWAYS WILL SLIDE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING-> RAIN DAMAGE, THEFT. LOAD CAN GET DAMAGED OR FALL OUT OF THE CAR, KIDS OR PETS CAN GET HURT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE WHOLE WINDOW ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE EXCHANGED ($750) ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW IS NOT DAMAGED. THIS FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS IS COMMON ON 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. JEEP HAS TO DO A RECALL AND PROVIDE RELIABLE AND SAFE POWER WINDOWS ON LIBERTY 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. *TR

UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE IDLING, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY ENGINE STARTED TO WILDLY ACCELERATE. I HELD THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE REAR WHEELS STARTED SPINNING AND BURNING RUNNER AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS 'JUMPING'. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED IT MOMENTS LATER IT WAS FINE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY JEEP DEALER IN MT KISCO NY BUT THEY COULDN'T IND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HASN'T DONE IT AGAIN. THERE WAS NOTHING JAMMING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING ON IT'S OWN. *TR

TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A COMMON FAILURE ITEM BUT CHARGES APPROX $600 PER REPAIR BECAUSE MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERS STATED THE REGULATOR PIECE FAILING ON RECURRING BASIS IS MADE OF PLASTIC. *TR
