2006 Jeep Liberty: power window failure

Filed Dec 3, 2021 · Body, Electrical · OH

Hello, my name is Jamie Woodley. I'm filing this complaint on my 2006 Jeep Liberty Sport. Currently, there's a recall for the Suspension Rear lower control arms. I've read the previous recalls on it, which I saw this vehicle has been reprogrammed before. I've only had the vehicle for a few months and I've had an oil leak, bad thermostat, and the transmission is busted. I can't reverse or drive over 10 mph. I heard the transmission may be in Fail Safe mode. I had Midas do a full inspection, but they failed to acknowledge the lower control arms by suggesting brakes. I knew it wasn't the brakes. The technician drove the vehicle after the brakes were done, but I still heard/felt a problem with the Suspension. There is a recall for that from 2018. I purchased the vehicle last year in March 2020. Also, the rear lift gate was dented when I bought it like the vehicle may have been in an accident. This was a vehicle I purchased for my 2 kids and I. This vehicle has been giving me problems since I bought it. The back driver's side window won't go all the way up. I have to keep a stick in between just to keep the window from falling all the way in the door. Definitely not a safe vehicle. My Engine stalled out on the free way while I was on my way to pick up my kids. After my oil change, no oil light came on. I am seeking help with any buy back programs or a valued trade in appraisal. I have a quote from Conrad's on how much it's going to cost to fix it and the price is over $3,000. I have extended warranty, but am unsure if it will cover any service requests. That is pretty outrageous that it's going to cost that much to fix it. I've been at Take 5 to keep up on the maintenance and was told I had an oil leak somewhere. On top of the brakes, I've spent money on 4 new tires, 6 ignition coils, an O2 Sensor, and I bought a New PCM/ECU computer I have yet to have installed. Feel free to contact me at the information I've provided. I'd be truly grateful for any assistance. Thanks!

In december 2020, I stopped at the post office to drop a letter in the outdoor box. I rolled down my window, deposited the letter, and drove off. As I was raising my driver side window, I heard a loud noise and my window dropped into the car door. It was another broken window regulator. It was 30 degrees outside and I had other errands to run. I had to drive around the city with my window half-way down in the freezing weather. Jeep had a recall in 2010 stating "we are extending the warranty period for window lift plate repairs because some vehicles have experienced repeat concerns with window components. If you have already experienced this window regulator concern and have paid to have it repaired, you may be eligible to receive reimbursement." when I was notified about the recall, I submitted receipts for the three incidents I had with broken window regulators that needed to be replaced. Chrysler reimbursed me my full out-of-pocket expenses of $708.28 on january 24, 2011. Now I need them to pay me $461.50 for the window regulator that was replaced on april 14, 2021. This is an ongoing problem, and most of all, a safety issue because of the distraction it causes to a driver. I recently read the following: distracted driving is a deadly problem'it LED to 3,142 deaths in 2019, according to the most recent statistics from the federal safety agency. Chrysler should extend the window regulator recall on jeeps and reimburse me $461.50 because this is a real safety hazard. What if I had been driving on the interstate at 70 MPH and my six pound baby was in his car seat in the back seat, and his window fell in due to a bad regulator? That would be a major distraction to me and a definite safety concern for my baby. This is definitely not a parts problem. This is a huge safety issue.

I've had lower ball joints, bushing and control arms already replaced once in 2017 and now they are out again. I've been told by mopar that my 2006 liberty was made 5 weeks after the last one involved in the recall.this is inexcusable. I've had 3 window regulators replaced. This is a fatality waiting to happen if I drive. I started hearing and feeling the ball joints going bad about 2 weeks ago. I hardly have driven it since I work from home now. Can chrysler see all these complaints about the ball joints and still not add these 06 jeep's to that recall. This is not good business at all. Also just had front brakes done 1 year ago and they need replaced already. Ignition - my key will not come out of the ignition unless I push on the ignition cable. Please help me to get these problems fixed. This is unacceptable from chrysler.

Front window regulator issues. Today the driver's side window fell while stationary. A few months ago, the passenger side broke while driving. The rear passenger side window is sounding like it may go at any moment. I took apart the front passenger side when that window fell thinking it just fell off track. I discovered a piece of the regulator is broken. In doing research I see that this is a very common issue! This poses a safety hazzard!! There was a class action lawsuit in 2013 regarding this issue.

3 out of the 4 window regulators in my jeep have mechanically broken inside the door. This needs to be addressed. It's not a cheap fix for me to keep paying for your mistake. I was going to buy another jeep, but not so sure anymore

Window regulator keeps failing. The first time it happened was in 2010. I have had 4 regulators replaced since I bought the car in 2006. I now have both driver side windows that are broken and will be fixed next week when parts come in. This is now the 5th and 6th regulators I have had to have don. Very aggravating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeep window regulator on rear passenger side door suddenly failed for no obvious reason. Window just fell inside the door while the car was parked and the entire system must be replaced.
