After putting my front driver side window down completely, it will not go back up. The motor runs, it makes a sound, but window does not move. I was forced to leave my car parked in a medical center parking garage during my work shift 4:00pm to 12:00am. Of course, it was completely unsafe for me, a young female, to return to my open car and had to be escorted by a security officer. I then drove the 25 freeway miles home completely exposed to the elements. Having googled the malfunction, I learned that this is a very common issue with the 2006 jeep liberty and is very expensive to repair. I am astounded to also learn that chrysler did not issue a recall on this mechanical failure. As a college student, I am not financially able to incur this expense, nor do I think I should be required to, and am asking that chrysler perform repairs on all four windows at not cost to me. Please advise. Thank you for your consideration.
2006 Jeep Liberty visibility complaints
Page 2 of 15: complaints 11 to 40 of 430, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Over the course of the nine years I have owned this liberty, each of the 4 power windows have failed multiple times.the windows simply fall down freely without warning, and can not be placed back in an upright, closed position. This has occurred twice on each front window, and on each the left/rear and right rear windows it has happened three separate times. Though this is an ongoing and known safety and security issue, there has been no service bulletin or recall as far as I know. Chrysler/jeep customer service and local dealer are unwilling to recognize the problem or cover the repairs. Jeep quotes us over $600 for the repair before reducing the estimates, due only to my persistent complaints. I understand there has been a class action suit brought by others on this very issue.

I have two (2) jeep liberty's both 2006 (1) renegade, & (1) sport, both vehicles have had the window regulator's fail, (2) - window regulator's failed on the renegade, (1) on the driver's front side window, the regulator had to be replaced on 02/12/11 & again (1) on the driver's rear window, the regulator had to be replaced on 05/18/12 this was on the 2006 jeep renegade. (2) - window regulator's failed, on the jeep sport, (1) on the driver's rear window, the window regulator had to be replaced on 09/19/11 & (1) window regulator again on the same window on 10/08/14 needs to be replaced, the same window regulator needed to be fixed twice within three years & 20 days, the dealer would not fix the window under warranty because it was over the exp. Date by 20 days, why is it always the window regulators because it's a plastic part and that's why it keeps failing, that's just bull I have spent over 1200.00 dollars on repairs on windows regulator's alone & it's the same part each time all 4-windows, I used to be a great fan of jeep, I've owned jeeps for (20) years now, but I have become really disappointed with my vehicle's, the first time it happened I was on the highway driving at 65 MPH when the window suddenly opened, the wind ripped through my vehicle started to blow things around so bad that I had to pull over and tape my window up so I could make it home, and I'm not the only one, alot of jeep liberty owners have had the same thing happen to them and had to replace the window regulators, thank you
I have had multiple window regulators break in my vehicle. I have replaced 3 of them at least twice. I have replaced on once, which is the only one I did not have replaced by chrysler. It is the only one that has not broken again. I have contacted chrysler and they refuse to help out in any way to pay for these. It needs to be a recalled part, and they need to make a part that will actually not break. My small child has to ride in the back seat with a window down, my vehicle is open for anyone to just get into my vehicle at any time, and any time it rains, snows, anything else I get all type of weather in the vehicle. I have received terrible customer service from chrysler .
The rear driver's side window failed to go up after I had lowered it a little bit. This is the second time this window has had this issue and will be the fifth time I have had this issue since owning the vehicle since 2006. When I contacted the dodge / jeep / chrysler dealership about this issue, they told me the warranty was no longer valid, in other words it expired in march of 2014 and I would now be responsible for paying for any work needed to be done to repair this window issue. This dealership does have my prior records on file in their computer system of the 4 previous times I've been there to have this issue repaired as well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the regulator lift plates failed on both rear windows and the front passenger side window. The vehicle was diagnosed and repaired by an independent mechanic. The failure mileage was 75,000.
The lift plates on all side windows of jeep liberty vehicles can be defective. The window will unexpectedly completely drop down. Chrysler corporation accepts the fact there are window defective lift plates. They extended the vehicle warranty to replace the lift plate parts if they fail. To my knowledge chrysler corporation did not notify owners about the defective parts or the extended warranty. I found this information out when the vehicle was taken in for window repair at the jeep chrysler dealership (the faricy boys chrysler, jeep) on september 18, 2013. Chrysler knew all the side window parts were defective, but would only replace the window lift plates that were not working on that day. Another side window lift plate on the same vehicle failed on may 30, 2013. When driving the vehicle and a window completely drops down it can startle the driver and is a distraction that could cause an accident. The vehicle was again taken in for repair at the jeep chrysler dealership. The dealership said the extended warranty had expired and the cost of repair needed to be paid by the owner. In summary, chrysler corporation knew the side window lift plates are defective, but would not replace all the defective parts. I am asking the federal safety agency to order a mandatory recall and require chrysler to fix all window lift plates on the jeep liberties. A defective lift plate can cause the window to unexpectedly drop down and can present driver confusion and a distraction while driving. This can present a dangerous situation to the health and life of americans. Thank you.
Today was the 3rd time my window electrical window mechanism has broke. The first time, chrysler paid to fix it as it was one of their - hidden - defects that they do not wish to publish. Now they say that they no longer cover the defect as the car is older. If there is a design issue and a known one, should they not have to stand behind their product? Now I will have to spend another $250 or more to get it fixed. Jeep needs to stand behind their product.
I kept hearing this noise on right side....window went down and wont come back up..it was like a popping sound.
While driving along the interstate at 65mph the passenger side back window made a pop sound and fell into the door, making a loud bang. Amazed the window did not break. This is the second time a window has failed in this vehicle. The driver's side was replaced two years ago and the passenger side front sounds like it is about to go at any time. It is making whining noises when activated and moves very slow.
I have a faulty window regulator in my back right window. I have had each window fixed at least once due to a faulty window regulator. I have one window fixed twice. This issue was previously covered under an extended warranty; however, the latest issue occurred after the extended warrant expired. Currently the back right window won't stay up. I've pushed it up on a weekly basis and it slowly falls. I'm concerned that pretty soon I'll have to keep the window up using tape or other measures. It's not safe to drive with the window constantly falling, especially if and when I have children in the back seat of my car.
On the first incident the rear passenger window fell, so it was replaced. Then on 09/10/10 both front window regulators started to go out and one was completely out so I had both regulators replaced. Then on 08/29/11 the rear driver window regulator went out and the regulator was replaced. Then 01/20/14 the rear passenger window regulator went out again.
I was sitting in a parking lot and my back passenger side window fell down. I didn't hit any of the buttons, it just fell. I took it to get looked at and they told me that the window regulator went bad again. This has happened multiple times and I believe it is crazy that this part isn't apart of the recall. The place didn't have any in stock (seems to be a problem probably because it has happened so many times to countless customers), so basically I was charged 110$ for them to look at and tell me what is wrong while me knowing it was either that or the lift plate. Don't think I have been more frustrated in my life.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while refueling, fuel spilled to the ground and on the contact clothes. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed. The contact also stated that the rear driver's side window, front passenger window and the front driver's window failed to close. The dealer replaced the windows regulators. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000 and the current mileage was 30,000. The VIN was not available.
I pulled up to a stop at an intersection. The passenger lowered the passenger front-side window using the electrical button. The window fell into the door and did not come back up when the passenger tried to raise it again. This is the third window this has happened to. Each time the diagnosis was a broken window regulator.
As I was driving with my sons in the back seat, we heard a loud bang on the right back passenger side. The window started to roll down into the door shift. I was able to pull over and catch the window and manually push it back up. It then fell completely into the door shift. It was 17 degrees outside and we had to ride all the wayhome with the window down. This is dangerous because the noise surprised us and could have caused and accident. Please research this.
Window fell in door, rear passenger on drivers side. Self replaced motor window in doorsystem. Plastic part inside snaps or shears off. Bought a replacement part that has metal stops. No problems. Have replaced all four window motors. They all snapped at different times. By husband
After the vehicle was at rest for approximately one hour, I came out to discover that the rear driver-window had fallen down into the door. Now the door does not open either from the inside or outside. In chicago, this is a major hazard right now because of weather conditions. Also, having a door that won't open could be a significant emergency issue in case of needing to escape from the vehicle.
I was driving my vehicle near crater lake national park. The power window motor system broke on the left rear passenger door, thus allowing the window to free fall into the door frame. I have read that this is and has been an ongoing problem with this year of jeep. Then now in decmeber, the drivers window motor system has broken again causing the glass window to free fall into the door frame. If this is all true about this system, and the fact that I now have 2 broken power window motors which will cost me nearly $900 to fix, I feel this item should be on a national recall list for jeep to replace these items so they will not fail. It is a safety hazard as it could cause glass to break during driving time and injuring drivers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the window regulator became inoperable and the windows could not be closed. The failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician verified the failure and stated that the regulator needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 36,000 and the current mileage was 96,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stationary, the rear passenger's side window independently and partially opened, preventing the interior and exterior door locks to unlatch when accessed with the key fob or manually. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 30,200.
This has been happening for some time. When I fill up, the gas tanks gushes out gas when it is full. This happens almost every time that I fill up with gas. It seems extremely dangerous as there is enough fuel that spills on to the ground below the jeep. I have replaced every regulator in my jeep's windows. They go out all of the time. The last one went out while driving and the window crashed down and scared me to death.
