Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. While parked, the rear driver side window glass detached and fell into the door panel. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The technician stated the lifting bar on the rear driver side door had caused the failure and would have to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.
2005 Jeep Liberty visibility complaints
Page 3 of 4: complaints 41 to 70 of 91, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
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.....
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.
2005 jeep liberty window operation fails repeatedly due to poor design and inferior components.
We have a 2005 jeep liberty that we purchased new. Since that point the rear windows have spontaneously fallen down five times. 3 times the windows were replaced under warranty, the last two times jeep has refused to cover the repair since the vehicle is out of warranty. The repair cost is approx $400 each time and they replace the broken part with the same faulty part that breaks again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contacted stated the rear passenger window regulator failed twice causing the window to become inoperable. The window regulator was replaced twice under warranty but the contact was concerned that the regulator would fail again because the dealer replaced the failure with another defective regulator. The manufacturer was contacted and advised that if the window regulator were to fail in the future, they would not assist with the repair. The failure mileage was 12,000 and the current mileage was 47,000. Updated 06/07/11
Since buying my 2005 jeep liberty new 6 years ago...I have had to replace the mechanism that keeps the windows up eight times. Out of that 8 times, jeep has made me pay for 4 of them! Obviously a defective part...shame on jeep!
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. We have one year left on the extended warranty, but if an improved part is not used for the repairs, it will fail again.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the passengers side rear windows and doors would not open.

The failure mileage was 10,000 and the current mileage was 19,000.
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.
2005 jeep libery rear driver side window regulator failure, resulting in loss of power window function and inability to keep window closed. Regulator was replaced at cost to owner. At approx same time, rear window wiper motor failed, was not repaired due to cost.
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%.
Both of my back windows fell down into the door. I am married and no children living at home so the back seat is never used. We have rigged the windows into the door so they will stay shut. I am very disappointed in this american made car. I wanted to support the u.s. Economy by buying a chrysler product and I am extremely disappointed that chrysler will not do anything about this problem. My jeep liberty is a 2005 model.
Jeep liberty 2005 windows. 2 out of 4 windows have fallen and no longer can be closed. The windows fell on their own without hitting and bumps or pot holes while driving. The window motor hums but the windows will not move up or down. This is a recurringroblem for jeep and we ask the company to recall and correct this matter. It should be taken care of by the company so they do not continue to lose the confidence of their costumers.

I have a 2005 jeep liberty. I have had all 4 window regulators fail and 2 of them fail twice. I don't understand why there has not been a recall. I was just driving down the road one time and the rear window just fell down. I never ever even use the rear windows! Please help!

Researching issues related to my 2005 jeep liberty (3.7 limited 4 x 4). Repeated electronic issues with windows - came across others with same issue. Exactly how many repairs has jeep chrysler done on jeep liberties... Just thought you should know. It's not cheap - read info at: http://www.denlorstools.com/autoblog/2009/02/jeep-liberty-power-window-problems-diy-tips/.
Rear, drivers side window falls down into door and cannot be lifted using switch. The same window has been repaired twice already once in march 08 then again march 09. Jeep reimbursed me 1/2 for first repair and 100% for second. I have requested jeep pay for repair again but do not yet know if they will.
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.
Rear power window of my 2005 jeep liberty fell down while car was parked, leaving the car open and unprotected. Called dealer, and he asked "is this your first time?" he says it is super common, and a design fault.
Rear window regulators on 2005 jeep liberty sport have failed 5 times, resulting in the window glass falling into the door well: left rear 20,000 2006 under warranty left rear 40,717 2007 $255.58 left rear 55,141 2010 $293.77 left rear 70,700 2010 zip locked shut right rear 70,971 2010 zip locked shut.
Rear windows on both the drive and the passenger side drop into the door panel while driving - mechanic said it is due to a faulty regulator but no recall has been issued even though they have seen multiple reports for the same problem. I am frightened since this a huge safety and theft hazard!
Power windows defective.
Left rear passenger window equipment failure. Window slides to an open position without assistance - remains open & will not respond to mechanism.
2005 jeep liberty back rear window fell down into door. Will not go up and needs new regulator. Dealership stated it would cost $400 to repair. After further research I see this is a huge problem and should be recalled. We bought the car brand new and no one ever rides in the back seat. Honestly, the rear windows have probably only been rolled down twice.
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. This is unacceptable especially since the ball joints are such an integral part of the suspension.....I am afraid of my safety whenever I get on the highway fearing these joints are going to give out. Please help!!!
