2005 JEEP LIBERTY Visibility Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

Mileage: 60,000

THE RADIATOR ON THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPLACED TIMES IN THE 8 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT. IT HAS 7 RECALLS, THE WINDOW ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS BROKEN, THE SENSORS IN THE ENGINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE RADIATOR IS PLASTIC AND LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A BUBBLE GUM MACHINE. IT ALSO HAS A PLASTIC COOLING FAN, NOT METAL, WHICH ALSO BROKE. I HAVE PUT AS MUCH MONEY IN THIS VEHICLE AS I PAID FOR IT. THE BRAKES ARE HORRID AND GO OUT CONSTANTLY. I ONLY HAVE A 5 MILE COMMUTE TO WORK. THE VEHICLE IS SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS. IT IS A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT. I GOT THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE WE HAD OWNED SEVERAL JEEPS AND LIKED THEM. THIS VEHICLE IS ALWAYS BREAKING DOWN. THE FAN DOESN'T WORK ON THE HEATER EXCEPT ON HIGH. THE ALTERNATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. THE EXHAUST HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I WOULD NEVER BUY A JEEP PRODUCT AGAIN AFTER THIS. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATOR (POWER WINDOWS) DECIDED TO NO LONGER HOLD UP THE WINDOW (IT RARELY GETS USED). WAS PARTIALLY DOWN SO I WENT TO OPEN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN. I WANTED TO PROP THE WINDOW UP WHICH I WAS ABLE TO DO WITH A SUCTION CUP. I HAVE READ MANY MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING ON THESE VEHICLES. SEEMS LIKE A PROBLEM THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE TO REPAIR VIA RECALL. *TR

MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR. I HAVE A HUGE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE HAVING A RECALL AND PARTS NOT BEING AVAILABLE TO FIX IT. ALSO THIS VEHICLE HAS A BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO FIND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART MULTIPLE TIMES. I THINK THIS SHOULD NOT BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONSUMER. SOMETHING IS OBVIOUSLY NOT WORKING IF THIS HAS TO BE REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR RECURRINGLY FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE VEHICLE DIAGNOSED WHERE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REGULATOR CLIP WAS FRACTURED. THE REGULATOR CLIP WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE POWER WINDOW MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT HEARD A STRANGE SOUND WHILE THE WINDOW OPENED AND CLOSED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THE WINDOW AT TIMES WOULD FALL INSIDE THE DOOR WHILE THE POWER WAS OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TEST RESULTS CONFIRMED A DEFECTIVE REGULATOR. THE DEALER REPLACED BOTH REGULATORS BUT THE REPAIR DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

Mileage: 32,000

POWER WINDOW REGULATOR DEFECTIVE. THIS PLASTIC REGULATOR BREAKS AND THE WINDOW DROPS DOWN. THIS IS A PLASTIC PART THAT HAS HAD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. CHRYSLER HAS EVEN OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES ON SELECT MODEL YEARS ON THIS PART, YET HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED IT AS A DEFECTIVE PART THAT COST CONSUMERS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO REPLACE AS EACH REGULATOR GOES OUT ONE BY ONE ON YOUR VEHICLE. THIS PART NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A METAL REGULATOR. THE AVERAGE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS $300-$500 EACH TIME IT FAILS! *JS

POWER WINDOW HAS FAILED AND ALLOWED THE GLASS TO FALL INSIDE THE DOOR ON THREE DIFFERENT WINDOWS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MY GASOLINE 2005 LIBERTY ON THREE OCCASIONS BEGINNING IN 2010 AND ON MY DIESEL 2005 LIBERTY, ONCE IN 2011. *TR

Mileage: 35,000

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY WINDOW JUST DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. I WAS DRIVING MY FOSTER DOG TO ADOPTIONS. WHEN I PULLED OVER TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED HE JUMPED OUT IF THE OPEN WINDOW. SINCE THEN THE ONLY WINDOW THAT WORKS IS THE DRIVER SIDE. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE LIBERTY. I THANK GOD A CHILD WAS NOT IN THE SEAT WHEN THE WINDOW WENT DOWN. I HAVE INFORMED JEEP BUT THEY DO NOT CARE. *TR

Mileage: 100,000

I HAD TO HAVE TWO WINDOW REGULATORS REPAIRED. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD TO HAVE ALL THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPAIRED SOME OF THEM MULTIPLE TIMES FOR A TOTAL OF EIGHT. CURRENTLY I HAVE 2 MORE THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I HAD CUSTOMER CARE AT CHRYSLER DISCOUNT THE REPAIR OF TWO OF THEM THROUGH A COMPLAINT PROCEDURE AT JEEP IN JULY 2011. THEY REFUSE TO HELP ANY MORE BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS REPAIR WORK PROVIDED. *TR

Mileage: 84,481

THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE DUE TO WEAR OF A PLASTIC COMPONENT. THE WINDOW SLIDES DOWN COMPLETELY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO BE OPEN TO THE ELEMENTS/THIEVES. THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD THE SAME ISSUE THE PREVIOUS YEAR. *TR

Mileage: 64,500

ALL 2005 JEEP LIBERTY'S HAVE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BREAK EVEN WHEN THE WINDOW IS NOT USED. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT DOES NOT CARE. THEY SELL A CAR WITH A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND WHEN IT BREAKS THEY HAVE THE DEALER REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART AND CHARGE YOU $400. IT IS FRAUD PLAIN AND SIMPLE. WHEN THE WINDOW DROPS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING THE GLASS CAN BREAK AND INJURE SOMEONE. ITEMS CAN BE TOSSED INTO THE CAR SUCH AS STONES OR DEBRIS FROM OTHER DRIVERS. PEOPLE CAN ENTER YOUR CAR AND ATTACK YOU OR KILL YOU SINCE THE CAR CANNOT BE LOCKED. YOU CANNOT LEAVE ITEMS IN YOUR CAR BECAUSE IT IS NEVER SECURE. WHEN THE WINDOW FALLS AIR RUSHES INTO YOUR CAR IF YOU ARE DRIVING ALONG WITH RAIN, SNOW AND SLEET WHICH MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO DRIVE DEPENDING ON WHAT WINDOW IT IS. IT STAINS THE SEATS. I HAVE CONTACTED OTHER GOV.'T AGENCIES AND SOME TV STATIONS. IF NOTHING IS DONE I WILL CONTACT OTHER TV STATIONS UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE. *TR

Mileage: 83,011

DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT THEM. JUST TYPE IN 2005 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR AND SEE ALL THE HITS. THE WINDOW REGULATORS ARE BAD ON ALL JEEP LIBERTYS FROM 2002-2007. I HAVE SENT INFORMATION BEFORE BUT IT SEEMS NO ONE CARES UNTIL SOMEONE DIES. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER, CHRYSLER, BBB, THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND SEVERAL TV STATIONS. I HAVE ALSO TOLD SEVERAL FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES INCLUDING NHTSA BUT AGAIN NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE AMERICAN CITIZEN. THE ONES WHO PAY THE BILLS. WHEN IT FAILS THE WINDOW SLIDES DOWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING SO YOUR CAR BECOMES UNSAFE AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO LOCK IT OR SECURE THE CAR. THE GLASS CAN SLIDE DOWN IN THE DOOR OR BREAK IN THE DOOR. THEN YOU TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HE CHARGES YOU $400 TO FIX A KNOWN DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERS LOVE IT. YOU MAKE MONEY WHEN YOU SELL A CAR WITH A DEFECT AND THEN CHARGE THE PERSON EVERYTIME THE DEFECT FAILS. IT IS A WIN WIN FOR CHRYSLER AND ITS DEALERS. THE PUBLIC IS GETTING THE SHAFT. IMAGINE NOT GOING CERTAIN PLACES BECAUSE YOU ARE AFRAID YOUR CAR IS NOT SAFE TO TAKE THERE OR NOT GOING OVER NIGHT BECAUSE OF YOUR CAR. HOW ABOUT I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND A GUYS GETS IN MY BACK SEAT WITH A KNIFE OR A GUN AND KILLS ME DUE TO MY BROKEN WINDOW REGULATOR. THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN AND THE RAIN STAINS THE SEATS ANOTHER ISSUE THE SEATS STAIN EVEN FROM WATER. NOT TO MENTION THE OTHER ISSUES I HAVE HAD THE BELT TENSIOR, THE HORN, THE ROOF RACK, THE PARKING BRAKE, THE MASTER CYLINDER, WINDOW REGULATORS, WINDOW REGULATORS, THE LIST GOES ON AND ON. I SEE THERE ARE OVER 60 COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT ON YOUR WEBSITE SO WHEN CAN I EXPECT SOMETHING TO BE DONE. WHEN WILL THERE BE A RECALL ON WINDOW REGULATORS ON JEEP LIBERTY'S? MAYBE WE NEED SOMEONE TO GO POSTAL AT A DEALERSHIP TO GET ATTENTION. NOT ME. THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND WITH TONS OF EVIDENCE SO FIX IT. *TR

I WAS PARKED AND PREPARING TO LEAVE WORK WHEN MY WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I SEE THAT A RECALL WAS DONE ON THIS SAME ISSUE FOR MY VEHICLE, BUT NOT MY YEAR.. I HAVE A 2005 AND THEY ARE ONLY COVERING THIS ISSUE FOR 2006 FORWARD... WHY.. IF IT IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL, THAN SHOULDN'T THE OTHER YEARS BE COVERED AS WELL? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE LOUD WHINING NOISES. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VIN. THE CONTACT DID EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY OPEN INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 31,000.

FIRST THE DRIVERS REAR REGULATOR FAILED, CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL AND BREAK INSIDE THE DOOR. I REPLACED BOTH THE WINDOW AND THE REGULATOR. SIX MONTHS LATER THE PASSENGER REAR REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW DROPPED IN THE DOOR. THIS TIME IT DID NOT BREAK THE GLASS. JUST A MONTH AFTER THE WARRANTY ON THE DRIVER REAR EXPIRED, IT FAILED AGAIN. NOW I HAVE NO WORKING BACK WINDOWS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS AN ISSUE BUT STATED THERE IS NO RECALL. HE RECOMMENDED THAT I TAKE IT UP WITH CHRYSLER. THEY CLAIM IT THE PROBLEM EXISTS BUT NOT WITH THIS YEAR. THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE I DID NOT BUY IT NEW NOR USE THE DEALERSHIP FOR MY SERVICE THEY WOULD NOT HELP. WITH THE GLASS BREAKING THIS IS MORE THAN AN INCONVENIENCE, IT IS DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND IS RIPPING PEOPLE OFF BY CHARGING THEM OVER $400.00 TO REPLACE THESE WITH PARTS THAT WILL FAIL AGAIN. *TR

Mileage: 43,000

THREE OUT OF FOUR WINDOWS- LOOSE AND DISCONNECTED FROM WINDOW ASSEMBLY. POSSIBLE DANGERS FROM TOSSED/FLAILING GLASS. ONE WOULD THINK CHRYSLER WOULD BE CONCERNED WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE WITH INFERIOR PARTS AND POST RECALLS ON DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS AND ASSIST THEIR CLIENTS FOR REPAIRS OF THESE PART IN ORDER TO AVOID A POSSIBLE DISASTROUS SITUATION.

WINDOW REGULATOR ON REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FAILED. REGULATOR FAILURE PREVENTED THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR FROM OPENING AND MADE THE DOOR INOPERABLE AS AN EXIT. *TR

THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT.THE WINDOW JUST WENT DOWN AND DOESN'T GO UP. WHEN I PUSH THE BUTTON, FOR THE WINDOW TO GO UP IT JUST MAKES A NOISE. *TR

BOUGHT LIBERTY NEW IN 2005. ON 03-26-08, LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE FOR NO REASON. REPAIR NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY-COST $325.00. OTHER OWNERS HAD SAME COMPLAINT, BUY PER JEEP, NO RECALL. ON 12-16-09, RIGHT FRONT WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR PANEL. STILL NO RECALL. PER SERVICE ADVISOR JEEP NOW USING A DIFFERENT "FIX"" AND REPLACED REGULATOR SHOULD NOT HAVE SAME PROBLEM. REPAIR COST $381.00. ON 11-03-10, LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR (PREVIOUSLY REPLACED IN 03-08) BROKE AGAIN. WINDOW HAD NOT EVEN BEEN USED DOZEN TIMES SINCE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED. FILED COMPLAINT WITH JEEP. ALSO RESEARCHED AND SAW MANY JEEP OWNERS HAVING SAME REPETITIVE PROBLEM. WAS ADVISED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER THAT IT WAS A VENDOR ISSUE AND NO RECALL IN EFFECT. AFTER BATTLE WITH CHRYSLER, THEY FINALLY AGREED TO REIMBURSE ME 100% FOR 3RD WINDOW AND THE COST OF THE 2 PRIOR REPAIRS MINUS $100.00 DEDUCTIBLE. THEY REIMBURSED ME $606.00. *TR

THE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN INTO MY DOOR WELL BECAUSE, AS I'M TOLD BY JEEP SERVICE ADVISORS, BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE PLASTIC CLIPS INSTALLED ON THEIR WINDOW ASSEMBLIES. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I'VE OWNED THIS JEEP AND I CONSIDER IT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE I LIVE IN THE HEART OF CARJACKINGS, THEFTS, & CRIME IN GENERAL, AND CANNOT LOCK MY CAR BECAUSE I HAVE NO WINDOWS. (I AM ALSO ELDERLY, FEMALE & CONSIDER MYSELF TO MORE VULNERABLE TO CRIME CHRYSLER HAS AGREED TO REIMBURSE ME, BUT THEN RE-ENGAGED, AND WOULD RATHER HAVE A "CAT FIGHT" THAN TO STEP UP PLATE & PAY FOR THE PROBLEM THEY HAVE CREATED FOR THE CONSUMER! MANY JEEP OWNERS, LIKE MYSELF HAVE HAD THEIR WINDOW FALL MORE THAN 10 TIMES @ $400.00 PER FIX = $4,000 X 10 MILLION SOLD (APPROX.) = $40,000,000. STAGGERING AND INTENTIONAL PROFITS WHEN THE HAVE CREATED INTENTIONAL DEFECTS TO PASS ON TO THE CONSUMER! CHRYSLER HAS BULLIED ME AND THEIR GREED HAS CAUSED ME MUCH STRESS AND UNNECESSARY EXPENSE DUE TO THE FACT THAT I AM ON LIMITED INCOME AND CANNOT SUSTAIN THIS EXPENSE. I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP SIMPLY BECAUSE OF CHRYSLER'S APATHY, LACK OF FAIRNESS TO THE FOUNDATION WHO BUILT THEIR LOUSY CORP - THE AMERICANS! THEY ARE AWARE THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD, BUT CHOSE TO TREAT EACH CASE AS ISOLATED, AND IN MOST CASES WILL NOT PAY. BAIL THEM OUT AND WE GET RIPPED OFF IN RETURN! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE PARKED THE CONTACT NOTICED THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAD FALLEN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN INSPECTED AND ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES FOR REPAIRS TO THE REAR DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW REGULATORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,587.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I HEARD A CLUNK. MY BACK WINDOW BEHIND DRIVER HAD SLIPPED DOWN. I CALLED MY PERSONAL MECHANIC, NOT DEALER, AND HE DIAGNOSED IT OVER THE PHONE AS THE REGULATOR. HE TOLD ME IT WAS COMMON IN JEEPS. WHILE AT THE MECHANIC'S, ANOTHER CUSTOMER SAID HER FATHER'S JEEP HAD DONE THE SAME THING. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO BE GLAD THAT MY WINDOW DID NOT BREAK. I WAS CHARGED TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR $300. I HAVE NO CHILDREN AND MY BACK WINDOW IS NEVER USED. TOO MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR THIS REPAIR. THIS IS DEFINITELY AN INFERIOR PRODUCT AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. CUSTOMERS SHOULD NOT BE EXPECTED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR. I ONLY HOPE I CAN GET RID OF MY JEEP BEFORE I HAVE ANOTHER WINDOW REGULATOR FAIL!!! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 25 MPH WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC WHERE THE MECHANIC CONFIRMED THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I'VE HAD MULTIPLE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES (LEAVING MY CAR OPEN TO THEFT AND DAMAGE), SEAT BELT BROKEN, AND AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR, AND REAR AXEL PROBLEMS. ALL ISSUES HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

SINCE WE BOUGHT THE LIBERTY WE HAVE HAD A TOTAL OF 12 INCIDENTS WHERE THE WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN DOWN AND LEFT THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE TO THE ELEMENTS AND ON TWO OCCASIONS PERSONAL PROPERTY HAS BEEN TAKEN FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOTS. CHRYSLER SOLD US AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH WILL COVER THE REPAIRS BUT THERE IS A $100 DEDUCTIBLE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE GOES IN. JEEP MAKES A JOKE OUT OF IT WHEN THEY SEE ME COME IN BY SAYING "WHAT, ANOTHER WINDOW ?" AND THEN LAUGHING AND SAYING THIS IS GETTING TO BE A ROUTINE, THIS IS TRUE AND I KNOW ALL OF THE PEOPLE THERE BECAUSE I SOLD CHRYSLER/ JEEP / DODGE FOR 5 YEARS SO I JUST LAUGH WITH THEM BUT IT REALLY MAKES ME MAD THAT JEEP WON'T FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS SO OBVIOUS AND SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE PROBLEMS WITH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR TO WORK AND WHEN SHE GOES TO THE CAR AFTER WORK SHE HAS TO CHECK AND SEE IF ANYONE IS INSIDE THE VEHICLE BEFORE SHE GETS IN AND WHEN SHE IS DRIVING THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY IF THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN IT STARTLES HER AND SHE HAS ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT TWICE OVER THE FRONT WINDOWS FALLING. I NOW HAVE TWO WINDOWS BEING HELD UP BY COAT HANGERS STUFFED IN THE WINDOW TRACK SO THE INSIDE DOESN'T GET WET OR THE CAR SIT OUTSIDE WITH WINDOWS WIDE OPEN. SOMEONE NEEDS TO NIP THIS IN THE BUD AND GET THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION TO STEP UP AND FIX THESE VEHICLES BEFORE THEY HURT SOMEONE. *KB

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH BACK PASSENGER WINDOW SYSTEMS. BOTH WENT DOWN WITH SEEMINGLY NO CAUSE AND IT COST HUNDREDS TO REPAIR EACH. NO ONE EVER RIDES IN THE BACK OF MY CAR. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, BUT I UNDERSTAND IT'S COMMON IN THESE VEHICLES. SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED BY CONSUMER PROTECTION. *TR

JEEP - SINCE 2002 HAS HAD 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS /REPAIRS REGARDING THE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKING OVER AND OVER, AND THIS ALSO CAUSING THE REAR DOOR TO JAM SO IT CAN NOT BE OPENED. THEY HAVE KNOWN THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GOING ON DUE TO THE REGULATOR IS PLASTIC, AND REPEATEDLY BREAKS... NOT BEING ABLE TO THE OPEN THE DOOR IS A SAFETY CONCERN... THERE ARE 1000'S OF BLOGS FROM PEOPLE WHO HAVE REPLACED THESE REGULATORS MULTIPLE TIMES, AND JEEP REFUSING TO REIMBURSE OR FILE A RECALL - I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2005, AND I NOW HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE PASSENGER / DRIVER SIDE REGULATOR, AND BOTH TIMES THE DOORS JAMMED... PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS FOR THE 1000'S OF JEEP OWNERS THAT HAVING TO PUT OUT $300+ EACH TIME THIS OCCURS... WITH THE ECONOMY THE WAY IT IS, WE JUST CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, OR HAVING TO PAY FOR THE SAME REPAIR OVER AND OVER AND OVER... ALSO, IF YOU WINDOW WON'T STAY CLOSE, IT OPENS YOUR JEEP FOR BEING VANDALIZED OR EVEN STOLEN..... *TR

THE REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FELL DOWN FOR NO REASON. I PRESSED THE SWITCH IT DID NOT MOVE. I PULLED IT UP BY HAND BUT IT WOULD FALL RIGHT DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE JEEP DEALER THINKING IT WOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY BUT THEY CHARGED ME. TWO YEARS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON THE SAME WINDOW. I PAID FOR IT AGAIN. SINCE, THEY FIXED IT LAST TIME THEY SCRATCHED THE GLASS AND I CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. I AM SINGLE AND 99.9% OF THE TIME I AM THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR. THE WINDOW DOES NOT EVEN GET USED AND IT FAILS. THE WINDOW WAS NOT USED ONCE SINCE THE SECOND REPLACEMENT AND IT HAS FAILED AGAIN FOR A THIRD TIME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS AT THE JEEP DEALER TO HAVE IT REPLACED THE SERVICE ADVISOR EVEN SAID TO ME THAT THIS HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON THESE VEHICLES. WELL, THEN WHY ISN'T SOMETHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT? WHEN YOU READ THE INTERNET YOU WILL FIND THAT ALL JEEP LIBERTY'S FROM 2002 TO 2007 HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THE PART WAS NOT ENGINEERED CORRECTLY AND DOES NOT HOLD UP. THE PART IS CLEARLY DEFECTIVE. YOU WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOU HEAR AIR RUSHING IN BEHIND YOU. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE FORCED TO FIX IT BECAUSE OTHERWISE, THEY WILL NOT DO IT. THEY KNOWINGLY SOLD A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT WHICH IS FRAUD AND IT IS ILLEGAL. YOUR JEEP IS NEVER SECURE AND IS UNSAFE. I TRAVEL INTO THE CITY EVERY DAY AND HAVE TO FEAR THAT WHEN I WALK OUT MY WINDOW WILL BE DOWN AND I WILL BE ROBBED OR SOMEONE CAN JUST REACH IN AND GET IN MY CAR BECAUSE THE WINDOW IS DOWN AND KILL ME, ATTACK ME OR ROB ME. THIS DOES NOT EVEN INCLUDE THE NUMEROUS OTHER PROBLEMS: BELT TENSIONER DEFECTIVE, BALL JOINTS BAD, REAR WINDOW NOT WORKING, ROOF RACK LOSE AND FADED, WINDSHIELD LEAKING, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, HORN STUCK ON JUST TO NAME SOME OF THE PROBLEMS I HAVE EXPERIENCED. EVERY YEAR OR TWO JEEP EXPECTS YOU TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE PART FIXED.

IT IS A WELL DOCUMENTED FACT REGARDING THE CONTINUED NEGLIGENCE OF CHRYSLER/JEEP REGARDING THE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATORS. THE WINDOW REGULATOR CONTROLS THE ELECTRIC WINDOW AND KEEPS IT IN PLACE. WITH NO WARNING THE DEFECTIVE PART FREQUENTLY BREAKS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO FALL INTO THE DOOR-THE WINDOW CANNOT BE ROLLED UP. THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED 11/09 I HAD TWO SMALL CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT DURING A THUNDERSTORM. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY. SUDDENLY THE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE REAR DRIVERS DOOR. THE CHILDREN STARTED SCREAMING AS RAIN CAME INTO THE VEHICLE AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ONTO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. I HAD TO CALL FOR HELP AND A FAMILY MEMBER DROVE 60 MILES TO PICK UP THE CHILDREN AS WE SAT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH POURING RAIN COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE MATTER AND SPENDING 357.00 TO GET IT FIXED,I REALISED THIS HAS BECOME A CHRONIC SAFETY ISSUE FOR THIS VEHICLE. JEEP FIXES THE WINDOW WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART,THEY REIMBURSED ME FOR MOST OF THE COST HOWEVER 21 MONTHS LATER..... THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY DON'T WANT TO COVER IT AND OF COURSE THEY STILL FIX IT WITH THE SAME DANGEROUS PART. IT NOW COSTS 400-500$ TO FIX IT. THOUSANDS OF JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS HAVE DEALT WITH THIS PROBLEM OVER AND OVER. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER/JEEP CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS BLATANT SAFETY ISSUE. *TT

AS A SINGLE MOTHER OF BABY TWINS, I AM BOTH COMPLETELY FREAKED OUT AS WELL AS GRATEFULLY RELIEVED TO HAVE FOUND THIS SITE. THE COMPLAINTS READ LIKE A CHECKLIST OF PAST ISSUES AND GOD WILLING, PREVENTABLE FUTURE ISSUES. THE GAS TANK CANNOT BE "TOPPED OFF"... ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THIS WAS A SEEMINGLY ACCEPTABLE ISSUE. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON ACCOMPANIED BY TOTALLY UNEXPLAINED STALLING EVERY SO OFTEN BECAME A PROBLEM WHICH WOULD CEASE JUST AS RANDOMLY AS IT OCCURRED. FINALLY (WHEN PREGNANT AND NERVOUS) I BROUGHT IT IN AFTER ONE TOO MANY TIMES. APPARENTLY THIS JEEP MODEL/YEAR IS WEATHER SENSITIVE. RAIN SEEMED TO BE THE CATALYST, BUT I REFUSE TO PUT ONE OF THOSE ANAL PERSON CAR COVERS ON BECOMING A SLAVE TO THE WEATHERCHANNEL. MECHANIC CHANGED TEMPERAMENTAL SENSOR WHICH, SO FAR, SEEMS TO BE MANAGED. THE A/C FAN ONLY WORKS AT 3 AND UP, WHICH IS TOO MUCH HOT/COLD FOR EVEN THE MOST ANEMIC AFTER MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. BACK TO THE WEATHER, WINTER CAUSES FRONT STRUTS TO CREAK AND MOAN LIKE A GERIATRIC BEAST. ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS ANNOYING BUT SEEMINGLY INNOCUOUS. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SHIFT ONLY WORKS IN PART TIME HI (OR LOW, DON'T RECALL), WHICH IS DISAPPOINTING THOUGH AGAIN, NOT LIFE THREATENING. THE COMBINATION OF THESE DEFECTS SIMPLY FEELS AS IF IT WAS BUILT WITH INDIFFERENCE TO THE CONSUMER. NOW THAT I HAVE TWO PRICELESS PASSENGERS, I REFUSE TO WAIT FOR THE CV JOINTS TO DISENGAGE BEFORE DEMANDING ALL REPAIRS BE MADE AND DOUBLE CHECKED BY MY IMPLICITLY TRUSTED MECHANIC (IRONICALLY ALSO A TWIN). IN CLOSING, THANK YOU TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED THEIR STORIES AND ENLIGHTENING ME TO CAUTION REGARDING THE DANGEROUS FLAWS AS WELL AS COMMISERATING OUR SHARED FRUSTRATION WITH THE PROBLEMS, LIKE THE WINDOW TRACK DISENGAGING, WHICH COMBINED ARE ONE BIG EXPENSIVE POTENTIALITY DANGEROUS HEADACHE. *TR

THE DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW FAILED AND THE WINDOW AND THE UNLOCKING MECHANISM WILL NOT OPERATE. WHEN THIS FAILURE OCCURS, THE WINDOW WILL NOT RAISE AND THE DOOR WILL NOT UNLOCK. THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THE REAR SIDED WINDOW AND LOCKING MECHANISM (REGULATOR) HAS FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM (DEFECT) WITH THESE JEEP LIBERTIES. IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL THEY FAIL AGAIN. THESE REAR WINDOWS ARE NOT USED VERY OFTEN, SO WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE NEXT FAILURE WILL OCCUR.

THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAS RECENTLY QUIT WORKING ON THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, THE WINDOWS JUST FELL DOWN. BECAUSE THE REGULATOR IS NOT WORKING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ROLL THE WINDOWS BACK UP. UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED, THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND KEEP THE WINDOWS CLOSED IS TO TAPE THEM IN PLACE. I AM EXTREMELY AFRAID SOMEONE WILL BE ABLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE VEHICLE WHILE IT IS PARKED AND/OR AT A STOP. THE VEHICLE IS TRULY NOT SAFE AND SECURE AS LONG AS I CANNOT ROLL THE WINDOWS UP 100%. *TR

MY REAR DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW HAD BROKEN TWICE ON MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY. IT SEEMS AS IF IT COMES OFF IT'S TRACK AND THE WINDOW MOVES FREELY IN THE FRAME. IT FALLS DOWN INTO THE INNER PART OF THE DOOR WHEN I HIT A BUMP. I HAVE HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE BEFORE FOR A RATHER LARGE FEE. I HAVE HEARD NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION FROM OTHER DRIVERS OF JEEP LIBERTY'S FROM ALL OF THE POWER WINDOWS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY FOR BAD ENGINEERING ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER. *TR

REAR DRIVER WINDOW JUST FELL INTO THE DOOR. SEEMS THE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND YOU MUST BUY THE ENTIRE UNIT NOT JUST THE PIECE THAT BROKE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND THIS IS USUAL OCCURRENCE ON THIS VEHICLE. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. ALSO CHRYSLER SEEMS TO DRAG THEIR FEET ON RECALLS. I TURNED IN MY RECALL CARD OVER A YEAR AGO ON THE BALL JOINT RECALL AND HAVE YET TO GET A CALL TO BRING MY 2005 JEEP LIBERTY IN.

THE WINDOW REGULATORS CONTINUOUSLY BREAK. THE WINDOWS CREEP DOWN AND CANNOT BE ROLLED BACK UP. OFTEN, THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR CAUSING A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD FOR CHILDREN OR PETS THAT COULD FALL OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A CONSIDERABLE THEFT AND SAFETY OPPORTUNITY AS THE WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK WITHOUT NOTICE, ALLOWING SOMEONE TO REACH INTO THE VEHICLE. THE LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY VEHICLE HAS BROKEN FOUR TIMES NOW (IT HAPPENS APPROXIMATELY EVERY NINE MONTHS), AND THE RIGHT REAR WINDOW HAS BROKEN ONCE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE SERVICE REPAIR TECHNICIANS TO EXPECT THE PROBLEM TO CONTINUE TO OCCUR, AS THE PLASTIC PART THAT IS BEING REPLACED HAS NOT BEEN CHANGED IN DESIGN. THIS LAST TIME THAT THE LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE, A THICK METAL CABLE LODGED ITSELF INTO THE LATCH IN THE DOOR. THE REAR LEFT DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVEN OF AN ACCIDENT AS AN EMERGENCY CREW WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE DOOR OPEN, NOR COULD A PASSENGER GET OUT IF NEED BE. *TR

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW MECHANISM BROKE - THE WINDOW FELL INTO THE BOTTOM OF DOOR PANEL. THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR ON MY LEFT SIDE PASSENGER DOOR WINDOW AND IS A KNOWN PROBLEM TO JEEP. HOWEVER, INSTEAD OF RECALLING THIS AND FIXING IT, I HAD TO PAY $520 FOR A REPAIR TO THE DEALER. THIS IS DANGEROUS, BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT ANY TIME WITHOUT WARNING, AND THERE IS NO WAY TO PUT THE WINDOW UP ONCE IT FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME OR ON A TRIP WHEN THIS HAPPENED, OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THERE ARE THOUSAND OF PEOPLE OWNING JEEP LIBERTIES WITH THIS PROBLEM. *TR

I'M AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT, BUT PERHAPS THERE'S STRENGTH IN NUMBERS. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY JEEP UP UNTIL A FEW WEEKS AGO, IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR ABOUT A MONTH WHEN ONE DAY I NOTICED THAT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN ABOUT 3-4". I TURNED ON THE VEHICLE TO DISCOVER THAT THE REGULATOR APPEARED TO HAVE GONE OUT. THIS IS ESPECIALLY ODD CONSIDERING THE WINDOW'S BEEN USED MAYBE 3 TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. NOW, SINCE I REFUSE TO PAY $300 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS ADMITTED TO BEING DEFECTIVE (I.E. THEIR FAULT), I'M STUCK DEALING WITH A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT AND SECURITY ISSUE THAT COULD LEAD TO ETHER AN ACCIDENT OR THE THEFT OF THE VEHICLE ITSELF. WHEN DRIVING, AS I OFTEN DO IN MY VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE, I NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER AND QUICKLY DETERMINE AT TIMES WHETHER OR NOT IT IS SAFE FOR ME TO MOVE OVER. THE FACT THAT THE WINDOW FALLS AT THE SLIGHTEST BUMP, NOT ALL THE WAY DOWN, BUT JUST ENOUGH SO THAT THE TOP OF THE GLASS PRESENTS A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT THAT CAUSES ME TO HAVE TO UNNECESSARILY MANEUVER TO TRY AND SEE. THERE IS ALSO THE MATTER OF OCCUPANT EXPOSURE TO THE ELEMENTS AND THE FACT THAT SINCE THE WINDOW WILL FALL FOR NO APPARENT REASON ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT, IN USE OR NOT, THIS PRESENTS A WONDERFUL TARGET FOR WOULD-BE THIEVES AND BURGLARS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 JEEP LIBERTY IN JULY 2005, ONLY 10 MILES. I WAS EXCITED AS THIS WAS MY FIRST NEW VEHICLE. I HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT JEEP HOWEVER, OVER PAST TWO YEARS I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN JEEP. I HAVE HAD TWO RECALLS ON MY JEEP. ONE REPLACE THE BALL JOINTS AND THE OTHER FOR A TRANSMISSION/GEAR SLIP. TWO MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT, MOTOR ON THE DRIVER?S SIDE REAR WINDOW WENT MOTOR WAS MAKING NOISE AND WINDOW JUST ROLLED DOWN. ON THE FREEWAY THE WINDOW JUST CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN BY ITSELF. I BROUGHT THE JEEP IN AND REPS TOLD ME THE REGULATOR/MOTOR WAS BAD. I NOTICED THAT OTHER CUSTOMERS HAD SAME PROBLEM. LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS LATER, OTHER WINDOW ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WENT. MY WINDOW BROKE THURSDAY NIGHT, 4/10/08. I WAS LEAVING WORK LATE AND WHERE I WORK ISN'T BEST PART OF TOWN. I CAME UP TO MY JEEP AND NOTICED THE WINDOW WAS ALL THE WAY DOWN! THIS IS DEFINITELY SAFETY ISSUE. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AT MOORE CHRYSLER JEEP PEORIA AZ 85382 TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED. I ASKED THE REP IF THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER THE PART BEFORE I COME IN. SHE STATED AND I QUOTE, ?NO, WE DON?T NEED TO ORDER THE PART AS THIS IS A COMMON JEEP PROBLEM. WE HAVE PLENTY IN STOCK.? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT I WAS FURIOUS AT THIS POINT SINCE THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE HAD TO GO AND GET THIS FIXED. THIS IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR TYPE OF PROBLEM. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND THEY KNOW IT IS FAULTY PRODUCT. THIS IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE AT DEALERSHIPS AND THEY KNOW THAT! I CAN?T SEE HOW JEEP COULD KNOWINGLY PUT THESE VEHICLES UP FOR SALE LIKE THIS! THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT IF I HAD BEEN PARKED AT THE MALL? THERE IS NO DEFENSE, THE WINDOW JUST ROLLS DOWN BY ITSELF, WITH THE ENGINE TURNED OFF! AS YOU CAN SEE I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS. THIS FAULTY MOTOR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED IN ALL JEEPS! I HOPE THAT NO ONE GETS HURT BY THIS FAULTY MOTOR AS A CHILD COULD EASILY GO OUT THE WINDOW! OR THEY COULD GET IN AND HIDE AND RAPE OR KILL SOMEONE! *TR
