Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 80 MPH on normal road conditions, the contact heard a loud noise coming from the rear of the vehicle. Unexpectedly, the rear passenger window glass began to fall inside the door panel. The driver immediately pulled over to secure the glass with a heavy duty adhesive. The authorized dealer stated that the window regulator was the cause of the failure and would cost $450 to repair. The parts were unavailable for the repair so the contact scheduled an appointment to secure the window glass in the interim. The failure and current mileages were unavailable.
Power window failure. Front left two different times. Rear left two different times. Same problem each time. Window stops going up or down with power switch and then window falls into the door. Safety issue is that this happened while driving on the interstate. First instance 1/3/07 10,182 miles: 2nd instance 4/20/07 16,789 miles; 3rd instance 11/08 61,777 miles; 4th instance 1/09 64,000 miles. First two times were repaired under warranty. Last two times are my responsibility. (vehicle is out of warranty due to high mileage.)
2006 jeep liberty window fell down without having any reason. I have read on this website that an investigation does not need a specific number of complaints to start. I am just wondering why a part that cost from 350-600 to replace and has a number of complaints does not have an investigation. This to me seems like a one way for the chrysler dealer decided to start to make money. This vehicle has had all four window regulators replaced in the last year and a half and now the driver side is down again. When will the manufacture or safercar going to step to the plate and do what they say they will do?
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. Within six months, the window regulators that power the windows failed. Four different regulators had to be replaced. In addition, all of the windows on the vehicle had to be replaced under warranty. The warranty expires in march of 2009 and the regulators continue to fail. The manufacturer stated that they would not repair the regulators for free during the next repair and that no recall was available for the windows. The failure mileage was 21,000.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the motor that controls the power windows was defective and stopped working numerous times. The vehicle has been taken to the dealer and they replaced the motor in the door each time. This only remedies the failure temporarily and lasts approximately 2-3 months before it fails again. The motor has been replaced at least five times. The contact has found numerous complaints on the same failure and believes the manufacturer should be responsible for this defect. The VIN was unknown. The failure mileage was 30,000 and current mileage was 65,000. Updated 02/24/09. *lj updated 02/26/09.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the contact accidentally lowered the rear driver's side window. She attempted to close the window, but was unsuccessful. She pulled over to the side of the road to physically push the window back up; however, the window fell into the door. The vehicle was driven in cold weather with the window down and the contact's toddler in the back seat. The vehicle was inspected by a local mechanic at her residence and she was informed that the regulator needed to be replaced. The dealer has not been notified. The manufacturer advised her to call the senior department, but she received no assistance. The current mileage was 46,000 and failure mileage was 45,975.
I purchased my 2006 jeep liberty in january 2007. A few months later 3 of the automatic windows would not work. Dealer replaced the actuator for free. Since then 2 my windows have been stuck going up like they are off track. Driver side front and back window need to have actuator replaced again. Back driver side window fell completely down and won't roll up. Passenger front window has needed new actuator because it sometimes won't roll up. I will be finally taking it back to the dealer and hopefully getting the actuators replaced for free since they have been defective the entire time I have owned the car. There are lots of little pieces here and there that fall off the car and little things that don't work. It is really a very cheaply made car.
I have had to have the window regulators replaced on all 4 windows, with the left rear replaced twice. The first instance was at 28,000 miles, and the second episode occurred at 33,000 miles. A final incidence occurred at 42,000 miles. I was told that jeep is aware of the problem and that it happens in hot areas (like the desert). I was told to leave my windows cracked open so as to prevent the build-up of heat. These events happen as I drive, and in one case, it happened that the window came down while my wife was at work, and she found it after a full day. This created a big security issue as the car could have been vandalized or stolen.
2006 jeep liberty seat fabric stains very easily -- water stains. No apparent way to clean it and keep it clean. Also 3 out of 4 window regulators have been replaced.
While I was away from my jeep, the right rear window rolled down and broke -- again. That was the 6th time this occurred in this vehicle to these windows. Not more than 10 minute later, the left rear window broke, exactly as they all have done. So, this is the 7th time each of 4 window mechanisms in this jeep have failed.
The power window fail the glass going down when you try to up and they repair about 4 times in different doors the last incident was july 15,2008.
2006 jeep liberty window regulator went bad. On august 20, 2008, I noticed that my rear driver's side window was down a bit. Tried to power it up, but it would go. Eventually slid down into door.

1. I purchased my jeep liberty crd new in sep 2006. I noticed coming home from work today that it sounded like the rear window driver side was slightly open so I tried to close it and heard a grating noise so I stopped pushing the button. Drove home. Got out and looked. Saw it was down about an inch. Tried to raise it. Same noise. Used my hands and pushed it up. Knew something was wrong. Got the husband. He pulled off the panel... We saw the orange regulator cord was not attached. Then discovered it was not screwed in to the motor on the other end. Broken plastic. Odometer reading 36150. Priceless. 2. This is the first I have had the problem. I live in colorado and no one even sits in the rear seat. Yes it gets hot. But I had a 1994 ford explore with over 200k that I signed over to my daughter when she graduated and the windows never died.... 3. Appears since it is out of warranty at 36150 I will need to contact the dealer and pay $375 to replace the regulator that is well documented as nonfunctional.
Bad window regulators, always breaking. All my window regulators have been replaced, and now I'm working on the 2nd round, and some windows have been replaced twice already in 2 years. *tr the problem is it leaves the car vunerable for left or even damage (depending on the weather) plus it's not safe, if you have small children in the back and the window starts to fall down while you're driving.
Our jeep liberty has had the left rear window repaired 3 times and it fell down again yesterday. The right rear has been repaired twice. The sunroof repaired once and the battery/electrical repaired three times. This doesn't count the windshield repaired twice because of leaks. I t appears the windows fall down about every 3-4 months.
'06 jeep liberty has window motor failure in all 4 windows. 2 window motors were replaced at dealership and have since also failed. Dealership will not assist in repairs due to mileage over factory warranty limitations and replacement motors are warranted for 1 year. *all 4 window motors have failed, some multiple times. I have also experienced multiple electronic failures. Dealership personnel stated to me that they have recognized constant complaints similar to mine, however they are unable to assist with problems.
2006 jeep liberty with electronic window failure. Consumer states that the rear electronic windows have failed and the right one has failed twice. Mechanic states that it is a regulator/cable problem.
From the first day that I bought the 2006 jeep liberty, the driver side window "fell" off the track, requiring me to manually push the window back into place before the window would close correctly. In addition, a few months into owning the jeep, a piece of rubber fell off of the driver side door/window area. During a recall repair, I advised the dealer of the broken window and the piece of rubber that had fallen from the vehicle. Although the window was supposedly fixed and the rubber piece put back on the vehicle, the window again began to fall off the track within a week of the repair. The rubber piece also fell off from the driver side door/window again, also within weeks of the repair.
Hello I have taken my jeep liberty to the dealer at least 4 times for the recall and they just never have the part it is always on order.

In july of last year (2006), I leased a 2006 jeep liberty. Approximately 2 months later, one of my windows slipped down. I took it in for repairs. Since then (16 months later), I have been in the repair shop for this exact reason 5 more times. My parents have the exact same vehicle, same year, and they are on their 6th window as well. After talking to the repair shops we both go to, we have found that this is a common occurrence. Jeep has been contacted by us and by others. They are well aware of the problem. I believe that this is a safety issue on so many levels because the vehicle is vulnerable if the window is not up.
On wednesday, september 5, 2007, at approximately 8:30pm both my husband and I got in our 2006 jeep liberty with only 9,188 miles to drive home. Upon turning on the vehicle we turned up the air conditioner and heard a grinding sound. Unsure of what the noise was, my husband turned down the air for a moment. As he turned the air back up the blower fan fell out of the dashboard and into the foot area of the passenger front seat where I was sitting. The blower fan was still turning as it made contact with my feet because it did not detach from the electrical wiring. The blower fan continued running until my husband shut off the vehicle. Due to the fact that I was wearing sandals when the blower fan fell out of the dashboard my toes were severely lacerated and suffered abrasions. These injuries required me to seek medical attention. Due to this injury I have had to miss work, as it is not possible for me to wear shoes, stand for any length of time, or sit without elevating my feet. This incident along with other multiple faulty window components, all of which are warranty items, cause us concern. Particularly since the blower fan was a recalled part and had recently been replaced. We no longer feel that this vehicle is safe to operate and have contacted chrysler headquarters customer service call center for assistance and are awaiting an inspection.
My latest jeep, a 2006 liberty (with fewer than 16000 miles), has gone to the shop 5 times for 5 broken windows (cables/regulators). They just rolled down one day and refused to roll back up again. The first window broke about one month after I purchased the SUV. Another of the windows has broken twice, within 6 months of the first "repair." then I had to take it in recently with two windows broken at the same time. It's ridiculous! *jb updated 10/10/07.

Twice within the last year while driving I heard a loud bang and the window, first to my drivers side window and the second to my passenger window drivers side , starting slowly sliding down into door with window switch non-functional. This first happened july of last year and again this month, may 2007.
