Just recently in the last three months front passenger window fell while driving and back driver window fell while driving while it what snowing while my son was in the car. Have a popping noise in steering or somewhere in front end. I can't use my accelerate button on steering wheel while it's in cruise because it won't stop acceleration once you press it. I was going about 55 and was trying to accelerate to 60.

Since august 18, 2008, 4 window regulators on my jeep grand cherokee have broken. Twice, I have already paid over $800 at your dealership to have this fixed. Recently, both of my rear window regulators have broke and I have had to tape my windows up since I cannot afford $800 out of pocket right now. This is obviously a well known jeep grand cherokee problem. I have known of others having this problem with their jeep grand cherokee as well. I have already had numerous problems with my jeep that have cost me several thousands of dollars to fix. I don't think I should have to continue paying for my window regulators to be replaced when my windows are used as much as any normal car window should be used. I only work ten minutes from home and don't abuse my vehicle.

I am the owner of a 2003 jeep grand cherokee SUV. Recently, the drivers side power window experienced a malfunction and will not work. The problem was diagnosed as a defective regulator. The repair cost $516. I have investigated this issue on the web and have determined that this issue with the jeep power window regulator is a widespread, systemic problem with all jeep vehicles. I believe that chrysler should initiate a recall on this part.

My 2003 jeep grand cherokee has had the window just begin to fall into the door on three out of the four windows now and it is usually at the most dangerous moment possible while I'm on the highway or on the road in general. I turn to see no window or the window mysteriously down and I am unable to roll it up. This presents many different hazards not only to the vehicle itself but, also to the occupants whether it is a child or my canine companion they both like to lean on the window and look out even though a child will have a seatbelt on if the window falls down and the child falls out towards the opposing traffic still hanging by a seat belt this is not a situation I am willing to risk. And I will lose my puppy if he is sitting there no doubt about it he will fall right out and it isn't easy to leave him at home every time I go somewhere because I'm afraid of the window failing again it's completely unpredictable. Also with the weather it is not very practical to pull off of the highway which is an extremely dangerous area already but to try and somehow prop the window up isn't a safe situation any way you look at it. As cars whisk by at upwards of 70 miles an hour I try and fix something that can be fixed by changing one part on the window regulator. There is already an after market block that can replace the faulty brittle plastic piece. I would appreciate some consideration with this issue. //s// jake trione

My passenger side window regulator went up and my window just fell. I've done a lot of research and there are a lot of complaints for the regulators in the jeep limited and other models. I think they should be recalled because this problem is very common occurrence.
