2006 Jeep Liberty visibility complaints
Page 6 of 15: complaints 131 to 160 of 430, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My 2006 jeep liberty has a serious problem with the window regulators and lift plates. June 1, 2010, was the first regulator to go out. The second one went out shortly after that. Now the first one has dropped again. The first time, I paid over $400 for the repair. The second one was covered by chrysler completely, and they reimbursed me $333 for the first repair when the second repair was done. They are going to "consider" reimbursing me for this third one, but I have to jump through all of their hoops for it to be considered. This is a serious problem that is affecting many many liberty owners. There should be an extended warranty on these regulators and plates. My daughter is driving this car and should not have to be concerned with whether her windows are going to stay up. This is a serious safety issue. The federal safety agency should demand that chrysler either recall these or at bare minimum put an extended warranty on all libertys for these parts. Ugh. This is ridiculous. Oh, and we bought the car used in november 2009. For all we know, multiple regulators might have been put on this car in its first 36,000 miles before we bought it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated the driver and rear windows continued to fall down into the doors. The failure occurred at least three times and cost $350 each time it was repaired. The vehicle was repaired three times on the left rear and twice on right. The dealer replaced the lift plate on the windows. The manufacturer was notified and stated the VIN was not included in the recall. The contact filed a complaint. The failure mileage was 27,634 and the current mileage was 57,000.
Rear driver side power window dropped full open unexpectedly on 2006 jeep liberty; original owner of vehicle with 71,00+/- miles. Repaired at dealer(costly). From internet search appears this problem is systemic to 2006-2007 models and repeat failure not unheard of...very scary at 65mph.
I purchased my 2006 jeep liberty in may 2011, however I have to windows that just stopped working. The windows just fail completely down without any warning one while I was driving which could have shatter and hurt my passenger. I contacted the chrysler jeep manufacture compliant line but they were no help. I was given a phone number to a dealership and was told I have warranty on the windows that only cover the list plate (if that's the problem) for my back window only. The problem after researching it this morning on the internet is the regulators in the windows which are very costly to repair approx. $260 per window. In this economy I can't afford to repair this and I should not have to because there is some kind of mal-function with the parts inside of the windows. They need to recall these vehicles because owner of them will spend money repairing the same problem at least 3 to 4 times in one year.
The rear automatic windows on my 2006 jeep liberty fall down into the door panel and cannot be raised with the regulator. This happened to me while I was driving and forced me to drive with an open window during a storm heavy rain, the rear interior of my car was damaged. I have had the rear windows repaired for the same problem multiple times, and they continue to break, at times that are unsafe. It also prevents me from properly securing the vehicle from theft until I can get to the dealer and they can "repair" it with the same defective part over and over again. You have so many complaints from many consumers about the same proble, but no recall. What are you waiting for a death?
Vehicle parked in driveway and the rear door windows just fall in to the inner door panel, must remove panel to retrieve window and brace up. If children were in the back seat I would hate to see what would happen. I don't understand with as many complaints I have read on line about this nothing nothing nothing has been done about this. I e recall make jeep repair the problem, instead of the customer having to pay $750.oo each time it happens, all over a $.50 piece. Taking vehicle to mechanic to have the window regulators replaced.
The rear automatic windows on my 2006 jeep liberty fall down into the door panel and cannot be raised with the regulator. This happened to me while I was driving and forced me to drive on the highway with lowered windows. I have had the rear windows repaired for the same problem multiple times, and they continue to break, at times that are unsafe. It also prevents me from properly securing the vehicle from theft until I can get to the dealer and they can "repair" it with the same defective part over and over again.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the rear driver side door would not open from the inside or outside of the vehicle. The electronic key fob was used but would not allow the doors to be opened. In addition, the rear driver side window fell down into the door panel and could not be closed. The vehicle was not inspected or repaired. The contact spoke with the manufacturer and was advised that the regulator in the door had failed. The failure and current mileages were 32,000. Updated 09/21/11*lj the consumer stated the door lock would not work from the inside. Updated 11/02/11
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the driver side rear window detached and dropped down into the door panel. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The VIN was not available and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 41,600.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty 4x4. The contact stated three window regulators previously failed. The drivers front and rear windows were repaired by the dealer who replaced them under warranty. The warranty expired which prevented the remaining windows from being replaced. The manufacturer stated they would not repair the failure; therefore, she had to pay for the repairs. The failure mileage was 5,000 and the current mileage was 50,000.
Rear passenger electric window failed. Slid down, would not close. Repaired. Failed again about the 4th of fifth time it was used.
Left rear window fell down while car was parked. Dealer service said the regulator was ok but the lift plate was broken. Yet again, this is a door that has not been used in the last 4 weeks at a minimum. Chrysler service rep who took initial call said that he gets lots of calls for this on 2005 & 2006 models. He went on to say that most of the time is it in doors that are seldom used. Chrysler case manager stated that chrysler is under no obligation to address this issue even though they know it is a manufacturer defect. Not only is this a safety issue, it is a security issue.
Right rear window fell down while car was parked. Because this happened the the left rear window in 2009, I immediately called chrysler customer service who instructed me to take it to the dealer for a diagnosis, which confirmed the regulator needed to be replaced. Once again this is a door that is seldom used and the window is almost never used.
Left rear window fell down while the car was parked. This door is seldom used and the window had not been activated since I purchased it in 2006. Chrysler service dept. Stated the regulator had to be replaced. Because it was "only" 1200 miles out of warranty, chrysler customer service would cover all but $100 of the cost. Internet search revealed multiple accounts of this issue.
This is to report a faulty part on the window regulator. Three times mine has failed. Twice the left rear window has fallen into the door due to a regulator which was faulty and on the third occasion is was the right rear window that fell. Lucky for me, I was stopped when my windows dropped. When the part fails, the glass just falls down into the door. The cost to repair is $750. At the dealer because you must replace the whole regulator, you cannot replace just the fifty cent part. The alternative which most people do is to tape the window glass up which obscures the vision and is a safety hazard. This is a chronic problem that jeep has known about for years. Imagine a mother driving with a child in the rear car seat in a heavy rainstorm and passes a tractor trailer at normal speeds. The window fails and falls. You then have heavy rain and debris coming into the rear window. The mother panics as she is concerned about what is happening to her child and veers into the tractor trailer. These vehicles need to be recalled immediately. The faulty plastic slides need to be redesigned and replaced with a metal slide with neoprene guides. I am not the only one with this problem - a simple internet search will yield hundreds of other individuals who have encountered this problem. I have saved the parts from my door if you wish to inspect them.
I have replaced all four window regulators during the past six months, and I'm starting to have problems with both front windows again, which were the most recently replaced at about two - three months ago (less than 50,000 miles) at the dealership. It seems the original window parts were defective, but the dealership's replacements (that I paid for) are much worse. I fear for the safety of myself, my passengers, my vehicle and my belongings with this ongoing issue. And I am angry about the time and expense it continues to cause. The form wouldn't let me complete with the correct required information, but limited my choices to those that did not apply.....fyi

The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic on four ocassions where they replaced the window regulators; however, the failure continued to occur. The manufacturer was aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the rear driver side window fell into the door panel abnormally.

This will be the fourth year that I have had to replace the rear driver side window mechanism in my 2006 jeep liberty. Each year, the mechanism has failed while my vehicle was parked and not running (august 2007, june 2009, july 2010, june 2011). I have been told there is a recall for some models of jeep's to fix this problem but not for my VIN group. I feel this is a safety issue as I cannot secure my vehicle while I am away and someone would be able to get into my vehicle and could be waiting for me to come back. Also, the integrity of the interior is compromised if an accident would occur due to the window not being up. The window mechanism has been replaced each year but with the same part. No modifications have been done to help ensure this problem will not happen again. I have called jeep customer service and was told to use this website to lodge my complaint. My local dealerships have been very helpful with resolving this problem each year.
The car was sitting in the parking lot when we tried to put the rear driver side window down it slid down an inch but did not keep going. When we tried to put the window back up, it did not move but the motor kept spinning. It's a safety issue because I usually have my child riding in the backseat and stuff can fly into the car and cause injuries. I took the car to the dealership and they replaced it for around $400. They acknowledged the problem as being common but that the vehicle was not part of a recall or extended warranty that was given to older models. I called the national chrysler hotline and they told me that they can not escalate my issue unless it occurred more often.
Driver side power window stuck midway and I could not open the door, the regulator cable hung up with door latch, had to replace the regulator assembly. Glad I did not have to make an emergency exit.
My jeep liberty 2006 has huge window issues- already have had 2 regulators replaced and working on the third- jeep says they will only fix the window lift plate, but it's the whole regulator that's bad and they refuse to fix it- if I have it fixed, it's over $300 per window, and charged me a $90 diagnostic fee to tell me this- when is a recall going to be issued? Not a safety issue?! Tell that to those of us with small children in the back seat and a window falls down @ 55 MPH! Jeep needs to replace all four window regulators and at their cost, not mine! And not just the lift plates! It's only good buisness, especially when I've already paid over $20,000 to jeep for this liberty and now can't even drive it because my windows are crahing down!
Windows have fallen from jeep liberty 13 times. Windows will fall while driving or while parked without warning.
2006 jeep liberty has defective windows that fall down and present a safety hazard. The 2007 jeep liberty vehicles have a lifetime warranty for the same defect. This is dangerous and should be covered by the same warranty.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty diesel. The contact stated that while attempting to close one of the rear automatic windows, the vehicle exhibited a loud pop and the window would not close. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the plastic window tray fractured and caused the malfunction. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not offer any assistance since the vehicle was not under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70,000.
The rear driver side window suddenly, and unexpectedly, fell open from the fully closed position with a loud crashing sound. One open it was unable to be re-closed. Failure in this manner was very startling and can be seen seen as an unnecessary distraction which, in my opinion, constitutes a safety hazard. Upon investigation I found that the part of the mechanism that directly supports the window is made of plastic and further is of insufficient dimension to support the weight of the glass through repeated cycles. The dealer offered me the same inadequate part as replacement which is destined for the same failure.
We own a 2006 jeep liberty sport, and the rear window regulator broke and had to pay $250 to the jeep dealership to replace. In the bill we notice it read "updated window regulator" which made me do some research and apparently there are thousands of jeep liberties with the same problem, but chrysler will not recall the part. For us it was a safety issue since we have a baby in the rear seat who was exposed to the elements. Of course the car company and the dealerships still charge you $150 for diagnostic (although they know exactly what it is) and $100 for the part plus other fees. Some people I found have had all windows replaced to a cost of aprox $1000 this is not fair, they know the part is defective, they should fix it. They do accept government money to be saved but the consumer is on its own. Please do something about this.
Power window regulators on my jeep liberty have failed one after the other . I have now replaced all regulators more than once.
