On 3/20/10 the front passenger side window fell down while car was parked with dog inside in a snow storm in parker, co. My dog jumped out and was recovered by animal control. Several items in my jeep were covered in snow/ice including paperwork and official forms for for my work that has since been ruined due to water damage. This is the 5th time I have experienced issues with window regulators in this same vehicle. In august of 2009, the rear dirver's side window had to be replaced. At this time chrysler told me that defective parts were being used in libertys but there is no recall and the replacement option was to replace the entire glass and regulator. In december of 2009, the drivers side window began rolling up crooked and was replaced. The passenger window is yet to be replaced as I am waiting on a response from chrysler to see if they will cover the $500.00 repair cost since this is a recurring problem.
2006 Jeep Liberty visibility complaints
Page 12 of 15: complaints 311 to 340 of 430, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My teen daughter, after saving for years, just bought a 2006 jeep liberty. The window totally dropped. After searching, this seems to be a defective product. Not only is this a major safety issue, it is apparent that chrysler corp does not want to take responsibility. It is a sham that consumer relations in the united states is declining. Please address and give the next generation a little help!!!!!! Replace the window regulator.
There are no events leading up to the failure of the window regulator. Suddenly and without warning the window will drop inside the door and it cannot be opened with the window controls. The window regulator must be replaced to correct this problem.
Power windows of jeep liberty 2006 4x4 failed a second time. After driving on highway I realized that rear window on passenger side slid down into door and could not be pushed up again. This had happened the first time in july 2008 and was repaired under warranty. The window regulator was replaced. The failing of the power windows is a safety issue. The car can not safely left alone closed because the window always will slide down without warning-> rain damage, theft. Load can get damaged or fall out of the car, kids or pets can get hurt. The dealership states that the whole window assembly needs to be exchanged ($750) although the window is not damaged. This failure of the window regulators is common on 2006 and older models. Jeep has to do a recall and provide reliable and safe power windows on liberty 2006 and older models.
I was driving on 295 in baltimore, md during rush hour when my driver's side rear window started to fall. This is the 6th time I have had a regulator problem, second time for this window. I almost hit the car in front of my because it caught me off guard. I went to the dealership and sure enough its the regulator except this time they aren't just replacing the regulator but the glass too. I really wanted another jeep but since I keep having the same problem that isn't going to happen. Jeep needs to issue a recall, everyone in the dealership said this is an ongoing problem. If they know it is a problem; they need to do something about it. They need to do something before someone dies from it. It is extremely distracting. It also reduces your visibility when you have to duct tape your window shut.
I rolled down the rear drivers side window. When trying to get the window up the window fell inside the door. While this caused no immediate danger because we were not moving. This could be extremely dangerous for my children who are usually riding in the rear seat.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While driving at speeds of 25 MPH in cold temperatures, the contact attempted to close the power windows but heard an unusual snap when doing so. The drivers side window then began dropping at an unusual angle. The dealer made repairs to the window accordingly. Within a few days, the rear drivers side window began to exhibit the same failure. There were no further repairs made to the vehicle. The failure mileage was 68,000 and the current was 71,000. Updated 5/3/10 *cn the left front window was stuck and it would not roll up or down. The dealer replaced the window regulator. Updated 06/28/10
The window regulators fail on recurring basis. The front driver side window regulator failed twice and the front passenger window regulator failed recently. Two different dealers recognized this as a common failure item but charges approx $600 per repair because my jeep is out of warranty. The dealers stated the regulator piece failing on recurring basis is made of plastic.
My power window regulator for the passenger side rear window went out on me this morning. The window motor is fine, but the linkage that connects to the window is broken. This cannot be fixed by simple small part, the mopar is ripping off the public by requiring the entire assembly. The entire design needs to be overhauled, because it is a simple fix that should not require the entire replacement of the system.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The left rear window motor assembly regulator failed and was replaced several times by the owner. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was verified that the regulator motor drive assembly was defective and repairs would be made at the owners expense. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that they were aware of the failure but would not assume liability for the repairs due to the vehicle being outside of the factory warranty. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.
Vehicle: 2006 jeep liberty renegade issue: all 4 doors have needed the window regulators replaced, one them has been replaced twice. Another one broke towards the end of the warranty period but the dealer would not replace it under warranty because of the mileage on the vehicle when I arrived at the dealership. The vehicle was purchased new in december of 2006, so it has been through 3 years of continuous use and has received 5 new window regulators. It needs a 6th new regulator but the dealership wants to replace the window and the regulator, without any back-up data that suggests this will end the problem. During the last incident, I heard a loud popping sound coming from the back of the vehicle, while driving about 40 MPH, but did not notice any immediate issues. The doors were briefly inspected for any damage and looked fine. After coming out of the movie theatre, about 2 hours later, the window had fallen completely into the door. To date the part has not been replaced due to a lack of confidence in the currently available resolution and due to the exorbitant cost. After inspecting the assembly, it appears that the plastic component, which moves along the railing, is not able to successfully capture and maintain a connection with the cable that enables the window the go up and down. Once the two pieces separate there is no way to reconnect them.
Jeep liberty, rear window mounting tag caused regulator to fail. Window dropped and would no longer work, leaving child safety window lock inoperable. Jeep has known about this however has not issued a recall, can cost up to 500.00 to fix. Could have caused a accident if dropped while I was driving and became distracted.
Power window parts failures on 2006 (and other) jeep liberty. Windows will "fall" into the door with little no warning. Have had two fail in last 8 months. Less than 30,000 miles on vehicle. One failed while vehicle is sitting still, not running. Have seen over 150 exact complaints on edmunds.com and carcomplaints.com. Failure apparently due to plastic parts fatigue, repair costs approximately 400 per occurrence.
I bought my liberty brand new. Since I have had it I have had to replace the regulator in all of my windows. The back windows are the worst. The driver's side window has been replaced 5-7 times and the passenger's side has been replaced 4-6 times. There is no warning. I have been driving down the road and all of the sudden the window starts to fall down into the door. The dealer charges to fix it and replaces it with the same faulty part. I have paid over $1500 for a problem that keeps occurring. I live in arizona and thought that it was because of the heat but then one of the service advisors told me that it's the part that is causing the problems. Jeep should issue a recall for this part. This is a serious safety issue. I have children in my back seat on a regular basis. Debris from the road could fly through the window and hit them. If someone leans on the window when it's taped up it could easily fall down into the door resulting in an injury. Thankfully, I have never had anyone injured to date, however, it's only a matter of time.
I own a jeep liberty 2006 and have continuing issues with window regulator failures causing the windows to drop into the door without any warnings. Since purchasing the vehicle all 4 have been replaced and I am now starting my second round of replacements. Apparently, chrysler is replacing defective parts with another defective part. Chrysler has issued an internal bulletin but has not been cooperative or consistent with resolving customers continued complaints. So far I am dealing with window regulator repairs at least 2 to 3 times per year.
Beginning on february 22, the first of three (3) window regulators failed in this vehicle. The first was the driver side rear passenger window, second was the driver's door window (6 days later) and the third was the right rear passenger window which failed yesterday (3/4/10). The rear windows have seldom been open since purchasing the vehicle new in 2006. Two of the windows slid/dropped open completely while the vehicle was underway while the third dropped open upon closing the right rear door.
Just bought the jeep and on the way home the back glass fell down. Did not know what it was almost run off the road trying to figure it out. Needless to say I took it back the next morning and they knew right away it was a window regulator. Had to wait till monday morning to take it back in and was 3 days in getting it back. Found out mine was not the only one with faulty windows by talking to the customers in there for the same reason. Needless to say I now ride around with duck tape and plastic and am waiting for the next one to go. Lots of people have had problems with these regulators and they need to be fixed now before someone wrecks and kills themselves with these things falling down. I traded in my toyota in fear of a sticking gas peddle and now I have to drive in fear of my windows falling down. I am only asking for a simple recall to a simple fix for all of the jeep owners who drive around with duck tape up to the windows. It is giving jeep a bad reputation and have heard people say they will never own another jeep because of this. Don't let jeep be in the hot seat with shame on you jeep when a death occurs because of this.
2006 jeep liberty-while driving back window makes a popping sound than falls down. About 6 months later the front driver side window makes a popping sound and falls down--the unexpected noise and rush of cold winter air caused me to swerve into a ditch. This a safety issue and an expense!!
Left back window regular broke and window has fallen. Unable to roll up window during a sand storm resulting in child breathing in sand until we could seek shelter and interior of vehicle being covered in sand. This is the fourth window regular that I am having to replace in this vehicle. Filing a complaint at dealership request. They stated the windows were poorly designed and the late 2006 models the windows are replaced with a redesigned window at the owners expense.
Front passenger window regulator failed. Second time it has been replaced.
Front drivers window and front passenger window stall when going up and down. Had to have regulator replaced.
In the last four years of ownership of a 2006 jeep liberty sport the rear passenger windows have suddenly just fallen down into the door panel a total of five times. It has happened twice while driving and three times between uses of the vehicle. When it happens while driving there is a popping noise and a thump when the window goes down. When driving this causes an immediate distraction to driver and passengers which has not caused an accident yet but is always a concern for future occurrence. Also of concern is that my research has shown thousands upon thousands of consumers who experience this same issue. I have included all the sites on this incident that I have so far found.

Driving to work, back passenger window begins to slide down on it's own - completely down by the time I get to work - power control runs but not moving the window up and down. Called dealership - $500 to fix. Researched on web - bought a repair kit for $90 and spent an hour doing it myself. All I had to replace was a $3 plastic piece. $500? Extortion, anyone? This defect (check the web - tons of people have had this happen - only sometimes their windows have just dropped down suddenly) is well known to jeep - they should be held accountable.
Jeep liberty 2006. Bought new. To date 6 power windows have failed. 2 of them obviously for a second time after repair by chrysler dealership. I live in south florida were there is no chance of the windows becoming stuck with ice buildup between the weather striping & the glass. This is a design fault that chrysler is aware of. Incredible that a large corporation is unable to design a powered window system that's been around for 50 years. During severe weather, rain storms, blowing snow or severe cold, this can become a dangerous situation. This failure is prolific on all jeep liberty's built from I believe 2003 to 2007. My jeep has had failures that at the retail level would cost over $2000.00 approx $300 - $400 per window. Its only just over 3 years old. I am now afraid to open & close the windows. I have secured the last failure in the up position using a cable tie. Chrysler needs to address this issue.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The window regulators failed while driving 35 MPH when the glass fell into the frame. The front driver window and right rear passenger window regulators were replaced in september of 2009. She is also experiencing failure with the right front passenger, rear left and right windows. The dealer stated that the window regulators are defective and when they are replaced there is no guaranteed that it will not fail again. Report 19324618 was filed with the manufacturer and they told her to take the vehicle to the dealer to be diagnosed. They also stated that she might receive a goodwill allowance to help with the repair. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 66,500. The current mileage was 69,700.
All windows falling out of jeep liberty 2006>2007 due to cheap plastic connector. All windows and regulators have to be replaced. Jeep has published a bulletin to their dealers about the problem but there is no recall. Cost approx $2,000 per vehicle in parts and labor. You can really see the scope of this problem on edmunds.com jeep liberty window problems. I personally know and communicate with 60 people who have had all their windows fall out, some two >>three times.
Chrysler continues to ignore a safety problem with the jeep liberty. Customer complaints about their power window regulators that basically let the window fall out into the street or inside the car on top of sleeping babies and other passengers, or down in the door, or get stuck up or down. I have a 2006 jeep liberty and have had to fix this problem on my car 3 times once at 10,000 miles, once at 50,000 miles and now at 70,000 miles. The last two times I paid $350. Chrysler knows about the problem having sent repair instructions to dealer service departments for a temporary fix that they are using as a fraudulent money making venture, 'a built in repair problem.' chryslers arrogance is unparalleled, we need your help!
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated the driver side rear window fell down into the door and it is not operable. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that they needed to replace the window regulator for $486. The failure mileage was 112,000.
Automatic windows keep coming out of their track. Have had three of the four windows fixed and the same problem occurred. Had the same windows replaced with a system involving replacing the whole window and the defected part inside of the door. Two of the three windows were fixed for the second time out of warranty but now chrysler is stating I have to pay for the after market tint and they will reimburse me part of the price but cannot say how much until after I replace the window tint.
Jeep windows: jeep changed the motor/regulator style and now you have to purchase a new window to get your electric windows to work. This is a known issue and they will not recall the motors or regulators. You can call any jeep dealer and they will admit that there is an issue with this and want the consumer to pay 1/2 the cost for something that they know is wrong.
