Power window failure by model year
What owners say
Jeep liberty window regulator bracket failure.I have had three window regulator bracket failures on my 2005 jeep liberty making the window inoperable. One of the failures was within 60 days or replacement. There is no point replacing the equipment if it breaks right away. It's a very bad design and going over a bump can cause he window to suddenly crash down, fortunately mine didn't break. How is this not a recall? I only have approximately 80,000 mile son my jeep.
This vehicle was purchased new and has less than 140,000 miles. #1-it has corrosion on the outer body panels that is starting to go into the frame. The corrosion has caused numerous cuts, scrapes and damaged clothing as you get in and out of the vehicle. #2- I started smelling antifreeze but you couldn't see any leaks unless it was parked downhill so I took it to the shop for diagnosis. After several test they found it to be the head gasket. #3- I also have issues with the drivers side seat belt staying latched. You can be driving along and it will just release and it takes awhile to get it to latch back. #4-it wouldn't let me select the option to talk about the window regulators that just all of a sudden decide to work by themselves. I've had several people discuss these issues with me and I'd not seen any issues until lately, regardless of how significant anyone thinks these issues are I've worked in the auto industry long enough to know that the maker should stand behind their product regardless of the significance or age of vehicle.
Window fell into door and is preventing the door from opening. Broke window regulator like so many other people have complained about. My daughter was driving the car and said the window just fell. I have the window up with a wedge to keep it from falling again. Luckily the window did not break.
The windows fell into the door when roling down the drivers rear window. This is the 4th time this has happened and not just this window. I have replaced 3 window regulators and 2 windows. The plastic component holding the window in place has a tiny meatal clip to hold a ball joint to the window and its not strong enough to hold the window in place. For a vehicle designed for off roading I cant see how this is good. The last time this occured was during a rain storm and my 6 yr old got soaked when it fell. Just glad the window didnt shatter this time. I almost lost control when this happened and had to find a place to pull over to help him.
Window regulator failing. Two window regulators have failed so far. For the first time, the rear passenger window fell while the vehicle was stationary and I was closing it when a large snap was heard and it fell into the door. The second time, the rear driver window fell. I did not notice when it fell, but when I went to drive one morning it was halfway down. I thought I just forgot to roll it up, but apparently that one failed as well and got stuck halfway down. In both cases the car was stationary on a driveway, then a parking lot. Luckily nothing was stolen or damaged inside. The first incident was on june 2016, the second time october 20 2016
The federal safety agency recall number 13v‑252. Chrysler/jeep has never contacted me in reference to this recall. Which seems to be very serious since it appears passengers in my vehicle and myself could be killed due to this defect. Another example of jeep not caring about their customers. Once they get their money they don't know you. I am the only owner of the vehicle and I have not moved so there is no excuse for not contacting me. I am sure they will lie and say they did. If they had I would have had the work done since it involves life and death. All about the bottom line and not caring about people. I would prefer they send me the materials to repair the problem and I will have my mechanic take care of the issue. When I had jeep repair a defective window regulator now that door does not work. I want it done right so have them send me the parts needed to: 115 avenue c, sch. Haven, pa 17972.
Every 2002-2007 jeep liberty has defective window regulators. When they break, they are replaced with another defective window regulator again and again. The dealers make $400 a pop to do this and chrysler thinks it is ok. They finally recalled 2006-2007 what about the rest? I missed the recall by one year and my window regulators just continue to break. It is discrimination. Your car can be parked and you walk out and see the window down. You can be driving when it happens. Your car is never secure. You can be rob or worse killed since anyone can get in when it is down. Also, rain, snow, insects or animals can all enter your car but that is not a defect to chrysler. It is time for a recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 60 MPH, the rear driver side window fell into the door panel. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 66,000.
The transmission is defective which in turn ruined the transfer case. I have another defective belt tensioner. Last but not least I have two more broken window regulators. Just check the internet there are articles all over about broken window regulators. I understand they only recalled 2006 and 2007 what about 2002-2005 which were bad first. On top of that they replace them with the same defective window regulators so they will break again and again. That way the dealers can continue to make money on you. The garage told me that the transmission in my car was used for one year on one model and I believe it because they have tried all over for a transmission and cannot get the right one. They have had three sent in and all three were wrong. This just confirms that the transmission was defective and they stop using it. Plus a transmission should last far longer than 120,000 miles. I read all the time that today cars are good for 200,000 miles or more. This does not include the other defective parts on the jeep: belt tensioners, locks, roof rack, window regulators, horn, leaking windshield, rubber on roof rack, rubber on and around doors, upholstery stains even from water, master cylinder, replacing lights way to often as well as fuses, marks in the paint, fuel relay switch, and this list is by no means all inclusive it is just what I can remember off the top of my head. I have contacted chrysler over the years about window regulators and they don't care. Your car is never secure when a window will drop without warning. It can occur while drive or even when you are not in the car. Only one window in my car gets opened. Windows not used break leaving you susceptible to theft and bodily harm. Chrysler does not care about the transmission either. It is all greed. After being bailed out twice by the us taxpayers it is time they pay us back by being honest
Power window regulator failure. Headed to our son's college graduation driving down I-75 south of atlanta, ga and the rear passenger window just dropped into the door. Had to stop to borrow a coat hanger to get the window back up then buy duct tape to hold it in place. Was nearly late for the graduation ceremony. Will have to take time off from work to take the car in for repair.
