I was driving down the highway and my drivers window gradually started sliding down . At the time I was running the air condition .and the window started slowly coming down . By the time I got home the widow was completely down . My husband tried to pull it back up and as he did this the window broke right into his hands and all over the seat of the car. And I was told by another jeep owner that she had a recall on her jeep . I was just wondering if there was a recall for it?

Lift within window broke spontaneously while driving approximately 20 MPH. Window would not stay up and cables needed to be replaced. Approximately 5-6 months later, a second window had the same issue this time while parked-another needed to be replaced. On 10/20/2013 the same issue happened to a third window while in reverse pulling out of driving going no more than 2 MPH-another needs to be replaced. I was informed it is a common problem but that there is no recall so they can't do anything about it at this time.

I have had to replace all 4 window regulators because of a defect. It has cost me over $1200.00 for all 4 to be replaced over time. It seems strange to me that all 4 have had to be replaced and the part cost over $325.00 just for the parts not counting the labor . The window just suddenly falls down and will not stay rolled up. I purchased this car brand new and it has been taken very good care of. I would like to be re-imbursed for all of my expensed considering this cannot be a fluke since all 4 have had to be replaced and no one ever sits in the back so it has not been worn out from use. Please let me know what can be done about this problem. The dealer said this is just and issue with jeeps and they always keep a large amount of regulators on hand. I think this is just a way for jeep to make money on parts and this should not be allowed to continue since the parts are just a piece of plastic and cost over 300.00 per window and we have to have our windows fixed. I would like to be contacted to see if I can pursue a claim to be re-imbursed from jeep.

We have a 2004 jeep grand cherokee that has had an ongoing failure in the air conditioning system. Over 10 times the vehicle has been into 2 different dealership repair facilities to correct the problem and there has been numerous parts replaced (blending doors, valves etc) and the failure is still there. The A/C system does not produce air at the temp that is selected, and most of the time will blow hot on one side and cold on the other or the other way around. The last time it was in the dealership the manager said they could find nothing wrong, and when my wife drove the vehicle with the manager, there was burning hot air coming out of the vent, the manager said that was normal. Nothing they have done has fixed the problems and we are ready to sue them to recoup our money.
