Power windows in jeep liberty continue to fall down. This has happened on 3 different occasion with my car. First incident jeep covered the repair under warranty. 2nd incident I was charged a $25 deductible; 3rd time a year later the deductible increased to $100. Why isn't this a safety recall issue? In a parking lot anyone could steal the car having easy access with a window that drops down inside the door. Not to mention sitting at a traffic signal, when someone could easily unlock the door and jump into my car. I have a 2003 jeep, but reading through websites this has been a continuing problem every year since at last 2001. Why hasn't jeep been able to come up with a reliable fix for this problem?

My daughter just had another jeep liberty window regulator failure on a passenger rear door causing the door glass to fall into the door. This is the 5th regulator failure on the rear doors since she has owned the vehicle. The first one was under warranty (no charge), but she paid full cost ($300-$350) on two and a $25 deductible (co-pay as chrysler calls it) on the last one and a projected $100 co-pay on this one----as I talked to chrysler yesterday on this latest one. It appears that no two situations are handled the same way based on the jeep forums I've viewed and based on my experiences. It seems to me that they should at least be consistent, but I believe it depends on which csr you talk with. Yesterday's csr told me that she should have to pay the same as a customer who purchased an extended warranty with its standard $100 deductible. The csr earlier this year on the $25 co-pay told me that charge was so they could warrant the part for 12 months or 12,000 miles and fix it free of charge should the part go bad again. Obviously, chrysler knows there is a big problem here--it's my understanding that there is a tsb on this issue. I understand they now replace the window along with the regulator because there has been a design change in how the regulator attaches to the window--so they acknowledge the problem (but no recall). Those who are paying full price for repair are buying a new window, too--as if the cost to replace the regulator isn't expensive enough. And, whether the vehicle is under warranty or not should have no bearing on this type of issue. Chrysler just doesn't get it on this problem! Why there hasn't been a recall or a class action lawsuit on this is baffling.
2002 - 2003 jeep liberty's - countless complaints are online about the power window regulators failing. I have had to replace three on my 2003 - and as of today two on my 2003. These fail without warning and if it is raining it startles the driver and cause an accident. This should be a recall and vendor paid part - it is defective. When it dropped this time my wife freaked out and steered against a guardrail trying to close the window.
The reflective coating on the back of the left side (driver's) mirror has peeled off , making the mirror useless.
2003 jeep liberty- power window regulator broken poor design have had several issues with windows dealer quoted $400 to fix.
The rear passenger side window is broken again. I've already had the window regulator fixed on that side 3 (2005, 2007, & 2008) previous times. One time being only 14 months ago. This will be the fourth time I've had to have the window regulator fixed on the rear passenger window. I never roll my windows down.
Drivers side front regulator broken. Plastic tube covering over drive cable shattered. "spring" drive cable rises up out of door on interior of window. Not able to find replacement part on internet. Research showing many issues with regulators.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 15 MPH, the engine warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. Suddenly, the engine failed without warning. The driver pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. The engine failed to restart and roadside assistance was called to the scene. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for inspection and the technician replaced the crankshaft sensor. In addition, the front and rear passenger and driver's side power window regulators were replaced twice. The VIN was unable to be entered into the system. The failure and current mileages were 57,000.
2003 jeep liberty passenger and driver rear window regulators fail and window falls down unexpectedly. Replaced twice, now replacing third window. Dealer says plastic parts used - knows of problem yet dealer or chrysler will not pay for either defective part and/or service. Wrote letter to chrysler oct. 10,2007 concerning issue - given complaint number. I requested refund for defective parts - chrysler has not replied. Will contact again. Concern for others having small children in back. Window could fall and child could accidentally fall out of moving vehicle. Needs immediate attention.
On several occasions my car has stalled. Prior to it stalling it would have power surges, backfire, the RPM needle would go crazy, and then just shut off loosing all power to brakes and steering. Stalling would occur mostly at lower rates of speeds (under 50mph). It wouldn't turnover immediately. I would have to wait 20 to 25 seconds each time and then it would start, almost as if the system resets itself. It's pretty scary when you have to young children and your on a freeway and your car all of a sudden stalls. The second problem I'm having is a very loud noise coming from the rear end. I pointed my side mirror down towards my backtire. I watched as the rearend made a load cluncking noise and it was as if the back tire was being pushed outwards. The third problem is my passenger side rear window just dropped into the door. The motor still works I can hear it. And last but no least my left turn signal blinks extremely fast and then sometimes it doesn't. My car is currently at the jeep dealership. I think it's kind of funny that the guy wants to charge me $200 to investigate the problems I'm having to find out what it is. Thanks to everyone's complaints I can call him and tell him the problems, as if he didn't already know. Goodluck to everyone.
I also have a 2003 jeep liberty and I have had to replace my driver side rear passenger window regulator 3 times. It is made out of cheap plastic. The motor still works but the plastic piece just wears to nothing if you use the window. The replacement is a one unit system and it needs to be made stronger.
I have 2003 jeep liberty and the passenger side window motor has went out. I searched the internet and found alot of other people has had the same problem. When I remove the motor it was made of cheap plastic I can not believe they did this knowing that it would break so easy.
I have had to fix my rear window regulators 4 times and it is broke again. They are made so cheap, there is a plastic piece in it that keeps breaking, the motor still works but due to the plastic piece you have to replace the whole thing. It has become very expensive. Now I have my window stopped from opening. It fell and no one is ever in the back seat.
The blower switch on the dash for heat ,defrost,air, etc. Failed and only works on the highest setting. This is odd because, three different models of chrysler in my family this all happen to. Jeep, liberty, jeep, wrangler, and dodge, caravan. I would say this is a issue but no answers from chrysler.
Rear window regulator had to be replaced twice. The repair facility no longer will repair/replace the regulator, since the dealer no longer will accept responsibility and refuses to warranty the regulator. The regulator obviously is a manufacture defect, but chrsyler/jeep is not being held responsible, therefore continues to charge the consumer for new replacements. The first replacement was in 2006, the second in 2007, and is currently held in place by wire. I cannot afford to continue replacing a defective part.
2003 jeep liberty complaint: visibility:power windows and controls details: on three separate occasions the rear windows of my jeep liberty have fallen into the door panel and become inoperable. No warranty. Had to pay over $300 to dealership for each occurrence to fix windows!
On three separate occasions one of the rear windows on my jeep liberty has fallen into the door panel and become inoperable. The first two times required the replacement of a window regulator. The third instance happened today and I'm sure will require the same solution.
Rear window regulators fail...even after replacement. 1st incident noted below. Has happened 2 more times since then.
My rear windows have fallen 4 times (2 times each) since I've owned the vehicle. The regulator/motor has failed each time. The regulator/motor came directly from jeep each time. I've spent approximately $1300 to fix these flaws.
Three(3) broken window regulators.
Tl*the contact owns a 2003 jeep liberty. While driving at various speeds or while parked, the power tracking on both rear windows constantly fails. The contact stated that the rear windows were not used at all. The driver side rear windows have been replaced three times and the passenger side rear window was replaced twice. The VIN, engine size, and number of cylinders were unknown. The current mileage was 68,480 and failure mileage was 36,000.
No unusual events leading to failure. Failure was the left rear door window regulator. Consequences are driving with inclement weather entering the vehicle and distracting the driver. Failure was corrected by replacement of regulator.
Rear passenger side window fell of track. Came outside to the car and noticed the window was rolled down slightly. Tried to roll up and I can hear the motor but nothing happened. Im guessing its probably a cable that snapped. Did a little research and it seems that im not the only liberty owner with this problem.
Champion chrysler-jeep inc safety recall f23 customer is very upset that after getting recall fixed that she had to pay out of pocket for the upper ball joints**cc the dealer stated the rear right seatbelt does not latch and the left right power window does not work. The consumer has provided the invoices for repair. Update
Both rear passenger windows on my 2003 jeep liberty have fallen off of the track. When I took my car into the dealership, a man who worked there informed me that this happens "all the time to liberty's." he claimed the motor was too small. I was upset when the dealership wanted $350 to fix the problem. I live in an area where it rains often, and the window slipping allows for water to get in. Furthermore, a friend who owns a liberty has the same problem. I am wondering how common this problem really is, and whether or not there should be a recall.
Vehicle had power surges. *ph problem with transmission slipping and windshield freezing. *mr
While driving 25 MPH rear windshield exploded, sending broken glass into the vehicle.
