In august of 2011 my rear passanager window fell down while I was driving. August nov 20 2012 my window again fell down where my infant sits and its the start of winter. I understand there is an issue with this on models 2004-2007 however they are not covering this as a recall. This is clearly a safety issue. The manager bill said that he pretty much didnt care neither did gloria the csr rep whom hung up on me when she said she was going to put me on hold after 10 min or brenda who said that they just don't do good this kind of service for people.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the passenger rear window would fall down on its own. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they advised him that window regulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under an extended warranty. Approximately 1 year later and driving at various highway speeds the contact noticed that the passenger rear window had fallen without any warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they advised him that the window regulator failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and they offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000 and the current mileage was approximately 102,000.
Driving vehicle, rolled down the driver side rear window with power window button, attempted to roll window up later and heard a "pop" sound. Arrived home, removed the interior door panel, noticed the window slide regulator had broken from the plastic. Used zip ties to keep window held in the up position, rendering the window useless. Unable to afford to have it fixed. Several months later, rolled down the passenger side rear window and experienced the exact same thing as above. November 12, 2012, wife is driving home from work, rolled down the passenger front window and experienced again what happened to the last two instances. Attempted to contact chrysler support, was told to get an inspection from a dealership and then contact them back.
Left rear power window regulator assembly failed when trying to raise the window. I heard a loud pop, followed the sound of the motor working, but the window wouldn't raise. Scary, as my small child was in the seat next to the window. I have been given an estimate of $428 to fix the problem. I am adding my complaint to the long list in the hopes that chrysler & jeep would finally fix this systemic issue. Since this is both a safety and security issue, maybe the federal safety agency can help!
The rear driverside window falling problems with both front windows making a screeching sound when putting them up. The rear window wiper stopped working.
The right rear passenger window while driving 65 MPH the right rear window without warning dropped all the way down into the door. This startled my 7 year old son who was sitting there and it almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle because my sons reaction startled me.

The first three repairs were covered under warranty, the fourth one I had to request re-imbursement from jeep which was granted after correspondence with jeep.

This is the 3rd time in 5 years that the ds rear window regulator has failed causing the window to slide down the track. The lastest occurrence happened while driving down the freeway at 60 MPH. The window was not being operated at the time of the failure.
Left rear power window regulator failed causing window to fall. Inability to closed window creates cabin pressure oscillations at all speeds. The pressure oscillations create a distraction to the driver and impair the driver's hearing.
Right rear power window regulator failed causing window to fall. Inability to close window creates cabin pressure oscillations at all speeds. These pressure changes are intense and cause a distraction and limit driver's hearing.
This is the 2nd time I have accessed your website with a complaint for the same problem.. I reported my other complaint on 09/20/2010. My rear windows just fall down for no reason. On 8/15/12 I walked out and noticed my rear driver side car window was down. When I tried to put it up, it just made a grinding noise. It just slips down into the window space leaving me with an open window while driving down the interstate in the rain. The same thing happened two years ago to both rear windows to the same vehicle. I was told by the dealership there was a defect in the 2006 jeep liberty's where this happens. It appears the windows and part that raises and lowers the window is one unit which is made of plastic. Apparently it is very cheap and fragile and breaks for no reason. You have to buy the whole window/mechanical assembly and it is very expensive. Please help me get my window fixed.

Both of my rear window regulators broke while I was rolling down the windows after being in the sun all day. This is the 3rd jeep liberty that I have had that has had this problem. Jeep wants me to pay $300 to get these replaced. This is a known problem and jeep refuses to take care of it. Locking my vehicle is pointless since the windows fall down.

The window regulators in my 2006 jeep liberty have broken and fallen down 10 different times in the past 4 years that I have owned the vehicle. The first 9 times were bothersome and about 450.00 each to get fixed but this last one is a safety hazard. I have a 10 week old baby and the window decided to fall down in the middle of a storm and I had to pull over on the interstate to pull the window back up to stop the flood of rain that was falling on my (at the time) 8 week old baby. My baby was screaming his head off as I am sure that much rain coming in the wide opened window at 50-60 (was driving slower due to low visibility in storm) miles an hour did not feel good. I had to find the right time to pull off the road then climb in back, undo car seat, slide it over and duct tape the window. I was alone and then had to reattach the car seat to the base and dry off my infant. I am thankful that no one hit us while I was parked on the interstate in a rainstorm with my child not buckled in to the car. I was in a panic trying to fix this. Now jeep is refusing to fix this free of charge due to lack of recall. Please make them recall this defective part so this does not happen again. I live in mobile, al and it is scorching hot and I can't be driving him around with the window down. Also, it doesn't stay up for more than a day with the duct tape because of the heat melting the glue on the tape. It's just dangerous.

The windows on my jeep liberty fall from the track for no reason. They fall when I don't even use them. They have been fixed at least 5 times since I have owned the jeep. The new part that they install is apparently defective because they only last for a year and then they break again. This should be listed as a recall since I have seen thousands of owners of this jeep complain about the same problem, some having fixed the windows 12 or more times. This is a safety issue as well because the windows suddenly falling down for no reason can cause loss of control and also a safety issue that someone can reach in your car and harm you or create a carjacking issue. This problem needs to be addressed immediately.

I have reviewed that there are have been multiple complaints regarding faulty window regulators on these particular chrysler vehicles. These plates in the window regulators give out causing the auto glass to slide down inside the door. I have had to have both rear regulators replaced twice and recently my front passenger regulator gave out. I have had 3 regulators replaced prior to my vehicle reaching 30,000 miles. My recent issue: my front window began to lower on its on while I was driving when I attempted to raise the window with the switch it then immediately fell down inside the door causing rain/hail to enter my vehicle while I was driving. I contacted chrysler and they have offered no solution stating there is no recall for this part even though there are numerous consumer complaints about the faulty regulators.
While driving with my daughter, I pushed the button to close the open sunroof and heard a loud popping noise. A part flew off of the vehicle and the sunroof would no longer close. After taking it to the dealership, it was determined that the entire module failed and needed replacing. I only had 37,500 miles on the vehicle. This repair cost over $1000 and had to be done as a security issue would exist with an open sunroof that is not able to be closed. Contacted chrysler jeep and they refused to cover any of the cost for this defective part.
