The power window on the right rear and the left rear doors have failed. The regulator was defective on the right rear door and was repaired by the dealer while under warranty but it still cost me $100. Now the left rear power window does not want to raise the window and it is no longer under warranty.
I've had my 2006 jeep liberty for only 2 years and have already had window regulators in both the back windows fail 3 times! When you go to control the window, it makes a loud grinding noise and either (I've had both happen) slowly start falling into the door panel or immediately just plummet down with so warning except for the loud noise which gives you no time to react to the situation. Luckily, this last time, I was able to catch the window before it's great fall of death into the door and now it is electrical taped up to my door jam. Which is inconvenient and unsafe. Until I get it fixed, (or decide to drop another meaningless $300+++ dollars to fix a repetitive problem) my vehicle is unsafe and there should not be a worry on my part whether or not rolling down my windows at any time will cause this problem repeatedly. My front passenger window is making a funny sound now so I am reluctant to even use it. This is ridiculous. It's not like us jeep owners are pressing down on the window or even doing anything out of the ordinary to contribute to this defect. I understand things break, but 3 times in 2 years? The manufacturers buy the part for pennies and charge us an arm and a leg to get the part fixed and it continues to break. This is highway robbery and without question there should be a recall issued on this consistent problem.
This has caused great inconvenience, not to mention concern. I'm a single mom of a toddler and the rear driver's side window regulator of my 2006 jeep liberty broke. I don't open this window often, since my passenger is in the back alone. I now have to collect $500+ to repair this problem that can become very serious, very quickly. In addition, my car is now accessible to vandals. Is chrysler waiting for a very serious accident to occur before approving this recall? Being proactive can save a life or a body part for that matter!
2009 drivers side back window regulator broke needed replacement 2010 back window passenger side broke needs replacement.
Multiple repeated failures of power windows, most recently left rear on or about 5/1/2010. We have had to have the same problem repaired on multiple occasions. Door fell into window when husband was being admitted to health south rehabilitation hospital two years ago, and neither dealership not extended warranty coverage would cover an emergency repair. We live at an altitude of over 8,000 feet and my husband has had surgeries for brain aneurysms and for lung cancer, which has left him in fragile health. We bought out jeep liberty after his surgeries because he liked the multiple passenger side handles on the renegade model. When a window fails to function properly, it is a major problem for an older man who is very sensitive to cold. This is a known problem that should be addressed by the manufacturer. Are we just waiting for a vulnerable person to pass away from exposure?
Drivers side rear window falls down.
Right rear window regulator/motor went out again. The dealership actually said this is incredibly common and they service it regularly. Normal cost would be $220.00 however, my vehicle was made before 01/19/2006 so it's $380.00. The window won't go up and suddenly came down.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. After rolling down the driver side window, the contact noticed that the window would not go back up. The other three windows had previously been repaired for the same failure. The vehicle had not been inspected at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 23,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. While driving at unknown speeds, the contact could hear wind in the cabin and found the rear passengers side window was open without driver intent. She was unable to close the window and took the vehicle to a local repair shop. The contact was advised by the mechanic that the window regulator had failed and would need to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted by no assistance was offered. The failure and the current mileages were 66,460.
The left rear wnidow falls down at anytime. My children could fall out the window.
2006 jeep liberty window regulators fail multiple times; possible crash hazard due to unexpected falling windows.
For the 4th time in almost as many years I have had the power window regulator fail leaving the window(s) in the stuck down position. These components fail very often across the jeep liberty models. Mine is a 2006 but I know of people from 2002 to current that have had this exact issue over and over.
Bad actuator on the 2006 jeep liberty windows. This is the 4th time I need to get the window fixed. It has never been corrected. There is a new actuator suppose to be better but have to replace the window also. Bad thing about it the window can fall down and it would be unsecured.
The driver's side window in my 2006 jeep liberty fell down and will not go up. It was a safety hazard to drive the freeways (the only way for me to get home from los angeles) in the rain with a window that malfunctioned. The dealership already fixed this problem once, and twice is unacceptable.
I purchased my 2006 jeep liberty in 2007 within the first year of purchase the rear right window motor went out and was covered under warranty and replaced. While still under the warranty the same window motor when out again and was again replaced. Now I no longer have a warranty both rear window motors have gone out. To replace both windows will cost me around $830 dollars. This is a serious problem with these window motors and needs to be addressed. If these motors keep going out like this there should be a recall and we as consumers should not have to foot this bill, this is a known problem with this vehicle.
Jeep 2006 liberty bought new 12/26/06. As of today my jeep will be brought back to the dealerships service dept. To have the back passenger side window looked at. I have had issues with the jeep regarding the windows since 2007. The dealership has replaced the regulators and the windows had to be replaced. The last time the regulator and window was replaced was august 2008 and not even a year later the same issue occurs. The is something that chrysler needs to address and have resolved for other owners who are having the same problems.
Rear driver side window while closing (was only 1/4 open) loud noise then would not close or open with button. Had to push up manually to close, window would not stay closed. Kept sliding open. Took to dealer repaired regulator and had to replace window. Only owned car for approx. 1 month.
What a joke, I traded in my foreign car (which with 150,000 miles, I dumped probably a $1000 in total for repairs) for an american vehicle. My back window fell down and looking at a $500 bill to repair it, I took silicone window sealer and sealed the window shut. Needless to say, my next vehicle will be one that has a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty like my last one did. I can't believe with all of the reports of window failures the manufacturer will not stand by their vehicle. They continually manufacture vehicles with obvious defects, but with 32,000 miles on the vehicle hit you up for $500 a "repair" bill. This is not a repair, it is extortion to fix something that was and continues to be a defect in workmanship and materials, as well as poor design. It irks me when american car makers whine and get bail-out money because their product is defective and "not the same workmanship" as a foreign vehicle.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While driving at approximately 65 MPH, all four windows would gradually slide down. The contact engaged the power buttongs for the windows and although she could hear a noise, the windows would not move back up. The windows were so far down that they could not be pulled up. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The manufacturer stated that they would assist with the repair costs. The current mileage was 25,045. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
Rear passenger windows fall off track and slip into door while driving. Windows cannot be rolled back up.
1. Using the front, power controls, I rolled down the each of the 4 windows of my 2006 jeep liberty to 3/4. 2. My rear, drivers window did not roll back up with the remainder when prompted from the front controls. My passengers and I heard a slight clicking a grinding, then the window fell to 1/2 open. At this point, the window will not move up or down. 3. My garage diagnosed the issue as a failed motor and regulator. Says he changed several in the past month. Talks about how each of the jeeps are made with poor wiring and regulators, and how he changes several, outside of warranty, at $500 a job. Chrysler has yet to recall a known issue that the have had in the past with the same equipment; though they have recalled this equipment for the same issues in the past. This continued use of poor components should not be the consumers burden to bear. Please urge a recall on power window regulators and motors for the 2006 jeep liberty.
Window regulator. This is the 3rd time and have only had the auto for 16 months with less than 32,000 miles.
2006 jeep liberty power windows fail without warning dropping down inside doors due to faulty window regulators. I am currently having my 5th one replaced and jeep has known of this issue 1000's have complained and jeep has done nothing but take customers money to repair a known defect. Just a simple search of the web will find thousands of customers with the same problem.
This is the 2nd time that a window in my 2006 jeep liberty has dropped while I was driving adn I've only owned it for 1 year. Last time it was by babies rear window that dropped on the highway. This time it is was passenger window that dropped on our way to the park. I didn't even use it because the AC was on. It just dropped loudly, everyone screamed, I swerved and we almost hit a sign! Luckily I gained control and nothing happened. Now I have to pay $500 to get it fixed and be out of a vehicle for almost 2 days. I've had enough and I want chrysler to fix this problem!
Used vehicle, carfax shows issue with window regulator twice before I bought the vehicle. While driving down road with my window 1/2 way down, the window just went crashing into the door. The window glass did not break. Jeep does not issue a replacement part for the window regulator so you have to go directly to the dealership to order the part @ $225 or have them replace it for @ $400.
The right and left rear power window regulators have failed within three days of each other.
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.
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!
2006 jeep liberty limited the passenger window regulators are constantly breaking and thus the window falls all the way down into the door(s). I have to drive with the broken window open or use tape or plastic bag to keep rain out when the weather is bad until I can get to the dealership. In the past 3 years since I have owned the car, I have had to bring in my car on 6 separate occasions for the same exact problem. All the previous replacements were done under warranty. Each door window, except for the driver's window has broken twice and today makes it three time for the rear left side passenger window. I feel the safety of my car in is jeopardy when the window is fully down and do not feel safe not being able to put it up when driving, especially at night. This model's windows and regulators have caused many people the same problem and this is a manufacturing defect according to this sites 175 complaints registered so far for this problem. Jeep should be required to replace these regulators for everyone for free for the life of the car unless they can manufacture a part that will not break within 8 months of installation. The dealer I go to states that the car is now out of warranty and that I must pay a $150 "co-pay" to have it fixed as a "goodwill" cost covering of jeep-chrysler but this is unacceptable to pay for their shoddy design and parts that keep breaking.
