Window regulators break with normal use. This has created a financial stress and safety issue. My doors will not open. I was informed by a dealership that door opening mechanism gets interfered with when the regulator breaks. They were able to get the windows to stay up, as I cannot afford the replacement. But both rear doors will not open from the inside, and the windows will not function.
2006 Jeep Liberty locks complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have a 2006 jeep liberty, the front drivers window and the rear drivers window have both fallen while driving. I currently have them ty wrapped up. This is a temporary fix but also a serious safety concern as the driver would have a problem with egress in an accident. Chrysler will not address this issue,this is obviously a factory defect based on the amount of complaints, this needs some attention!
I bought a 2006 jeep liberty limited on 8-20-09 in excellent condition with approximately 50,000 miles. Before I even drove the car off the dealerships lot, the rear driver's-side window/window regulator failed rendering the window inoperable. Dealership did not have part and had to seal in up position so as not to fall, while part is being ordered. Upon extensive research on the internet on various highly respected car review/rating sites, I have learned that the 2006 jeep liberty has a known defect in quality of window regulator design and material used which causes windows to drop into doors or cease operating routinely on average of every 2-3 months. Yesterday while driving, my rear passenger window dropped while I was driving 65 MPH on a major highway in traffic. I was subsequently startled to the point I swerved, and narrowly missed hitting another car which would have caused a multiple car collision on a major interstate. I have since taped my window in the "up" position until I can resolve this issue with dealer. Dealership has informed me that they will only cover this first replacement/repair, and that I will be responsible for future window regulator repairs of $500.00 each. This is absolutely unacceptable. A company/dealership should stand 100% behind their product and should certainly address potential safety issues resulting from something as critical as this. The known window regulator failure could cause accidents, bodily injury, theft/vandalism issues, and depreciation and degradation of vehicle interior due to weather damage. I will be filing complaints with state attorney general and car manufacturer/corporate headquarters. A safety recall should immediately be issued, and these window regulators should be redesigned with something other than plastic that has proven to repeatedly fail. While certainly an inconvenience of time, and a financial drain and stress to consumer, this is most assuredly a very serious danger to occupants & other drivers.
Locks continuously unlocked and locked, which drained the battery. Car would not start or even turn over. Remote keyless entry did not work. (identical to the 2004 recall).
The regulator motor of the rear driver side window malfunctioned and the window slid down the track. Consequential damage of this defect caused the door latch to brake, making the door inoperable. The consequence is a safety hazard if an accident or rollover required the passenger to exit the automobile. The failure of regulator electric window motors is commonplace on chrysler products, whereas, these occurrences are all over the internet. The dealer fixed the problem at a cost of $600. The vehicle was out of chrysler warranty, and the extended warranty insurance carrier would only cover the motor. They did not cover the broken door latch, or the window glass. After several conversations with chrysler, they admitted to having a running change in the engineering of the electric window assembly, and you cannot buy the regulator motor separately. You must buy the glass window and the entire assembly together. I believe the history of this failure warrants a recall by the manufacturer for safety concerns with the door latch breaking as a result of bad engineering.
Numerous mechanical problems all dash lights come on at once between 15 - 50 MPH dealer replaced body control module lights still come on now has more problems after repair by dealer. Several recalls on this leased vehicle running up miles back 2 dealer rear window fall down repaired motor tried 2 quit 3 times could be dangerous in traffic seems it loses prime on fuel system . Also excessive tire wear on front tires had it aligned myself was out from factory 10 deg. I have no confidence in dealer 2 fix since I have more problems after last visit.

Vehicle has locked me out when I shut doors 4 no apparent reason switch keys in ignition and motor running.
Back hatch door doesn't open anymore, latch jams.
My liberty has 3 recalls, 2 having do with big safety issues- fire and tires detaching. I first called planet dodge (miami, fl) for service appt.; gave VIN and advised of recalls- surprise! When I arrived for my appointment; they said the parts were on back order! Today I called tamiami jeep to make an appointment and was told 1) it's very dangerous as tires may detach 2) they have some parts, but not some bolt, if that is required! Question- if these are mandatory recalls and on such potentially safety compromising parts- how can the parts be on back order for 3 months!! (this will be my first visit to tamiami for service appt-but was already advised not all parts available- what's the use of making a appointment if they is a nationwide of a part to repair a recall? What happens if my tires detach or my car has "underbody fire" as per my most recent notice? I would appreciate a reply via email and I would like somebody to investigate how service departments can run out of parts that have mandatory recalls. I was not told at planet dodge how serious this was and have been driving around waiting for the parts to arrive.(lower ball joint).
