Rear driver's side power window regulator broke after only 40,000 miles on a 2006 jeep liberty limited 4x4. Window received only light used, was not used while frozen with ice. This failure results from a plastic part that is specified in the regulator design that is not durable enough for this application. This failure renders the vehicle unsecure as the window either falls down on its own or can be pushed down from the outside by hand. It also causes a safety issue as the window can fall down unexpectedly. This is especially an issue during winter or storm conditions. Incurred $250 in repair costs. Replacement parts have the same design flaw and can be expected fail again in similarly short peroids of time.
My mother bought a used 2006 jeep liberty has never had a problem,so in march of 2010 me and my husband decided to purchase a used 2006 jeep liberty from a trusty car dealer. Within 2 months of having this jeep our right rear window dropped into the door as we were driving to a family function. My biggest fear was that 1 of our 3 kids could have been hurt by broken glass. My father repaired the window by wedging a piece of wood between the door and the window. I later called jeep who told me there was no recall on this jeep and that they would gladly split the cost with me which only cost $600 per window and they won't warranty because they know it will happen again. I left it alone cause we could not afford this at the time. A few months later in november 2010 the left side rear window slipped,once again my father repaired it at best he could. I finally went online to see what I could do repair the problem myself at a cheaper cost. I came across a web site steigers.com the gentleman who owns this company has created a replacement piece for the broken part and it works great. I replaced it myself with no knowledge of repairing cars. The only hard part was working in such a tight space..thank god my hands are small enough to squeeze in between the door and the window area. The part is about a $100 with shipping and handling and so far seems to have solved the problem it took about an hour to do all the work on 1 window. Thats not our only problem with this lovely vehicle we have also had problems with the fuel spilling out when filling the tank. The tank seems to build pressure or catch air. I don't know all I know is it scared me really bad the first time.and we have also had problems with the esp especially when you hit a turn to hard or hit a big bump. How wonderful a 4x4 vehicle who doesn't like big turns,bumps or snow. And the most expensive part is the broken window..they told me its called a binding crack it happens to all jeeps so don't force your jeep to do its job..and work.
In july 2009 the left, rear passenger window in my jeep liberty fell down by itself. In dec. 2010 the right rear passenger window in the same vehicle fell down by itself during a snow storm causing approximately 6 inches of snow to accumulate in my vehicle. These are windows that are rarely used. Both the service manager and customer service reps at chrysler advised me that there is a faulty window regulator in the jeep vehicles which causes this problem, but no recalls have been made.
I, like most others owning a 2006 jeep liberty have had several problems with the window regulators that jeep continues to use. I have replaced two rear windows within a week costing about $1000.00 on my vehicle which has low mileage. I consider this a severe safety issue as there is no warning to when the windows fail and objects enter the vehicle at a high rate of speed which could cause a crash or death.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the window regulators were defective and the windows opened involuntarily. The vehicle was repaired by an authorized dealer but the failure occurred again. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000 and the current mileage was approximately 70,000.
2006 jeep liberty - faulty window regulator and chrysler/jeep's reluctance to rectify this well-documented problem at their cost.
The window regulator of my rear driver's side window broke causing the window to fall into the door. Luckily my car was parked at the time and I don't live in an area that is getting snowed on. This is at least the 12th time one of the regulators has broke since I bought my car in 2006.
Driving down the road at 40 MPH. Was not rolling up or down the power windows, when the back window suddenly fell from being closed to half open. It would not roll back up. It was startling and distracted my driving momentarily. Faulty regulators were the cause of previous failures and the broken glass and I expect the same determination will be made when I bring it to a jeep dealership later this week for repair. The most recent (nov. 29, 2010) failure on the driver's side back window was the second time this occurred on this particularly window. Previous repairs involved window and regulator replacement. This is a massive problem with jeep liberty suvs and a real serious safety concern in my opinion.
I purchased a used 2006 jeep liberty 4x4 last december and since that time I have had to replace 4 broken window regulators. Clearly these plastic regulators are substandard and easily break. There appear to be hundreds, if not thousands of complaints online relating to the same problem.
Driver side rear power window regulator broke 2 times within 6 months. (same window) dropped while driving - 1st time it broke it was repaired costing me $259.52 - 2nd time it broke I have a temp fix holding window up b/c I'm not wasting $ to fix it if it is just going to break again in 6 months.. I cant afford to keep fixing something jeep should have recalled. This is a well known jeep liberty 06 problem.
Yet again, a complaint against the faulty window regulator in the jeep liberty. I've had 2 window regulators fail in the last 3 weeks. There needs to be a recall on this and jeep needs to be held accountable for the faulty part.
The rear passenger side window fell off of its track and fell down inside the door, where my 3 year old daughter was seated, while the vehicle was being driven 65 MPH down a major highway, on the way to visit family out of state. I had a similar incident a year ago, but with the driverside window. This window track was covered under warranty but the glass had to be paid out of pocket (because of a change done to the new track). The recent passenger side window is in the process of being repaired.
Three of the four windows have had the regulators break - the first one repaired under warranty, the second the dealership charged me (even though I had a warranty in effect) and the third window is currently being held in place by gorilla tape (the view out the passenger front window is fortunately not obscured). This window started falling in when we hit a bump driving down I-95 at highway speeds. Given the huge number of issues with this model year with the window regulators, it seems inevitable that the window of the final window will give way at some unknown point in the future. Why jeep has not addressed this is inexcusable.
The driver side window came off track and slid down into the door, while my wife was driving on a major highway.
1. Power windows - three out of four of the power windows on my 2006 jeep liberty sport have fallen within the last month. It is not wear and tear because I hardly use the back windows, it is a defect. I have an infant daughter and this is a hazard for her since she has to ride in the back. 2. Electrical sensors - while coming to a slow stop or turning my vehicle has suddenly shut off for no apparent reason. *****both of these issues are common with this make & model. Why is there no recall? Is chrysler waiting on someone to die before they make a move? I can't afford the ridiculous price to have these defects fixed. I have to feed my family...so I must tape my windows up and hope they don't get broken in to.
My car was parked, when the regulator for the back passenger's side window broke causing the window to fall completely into the door. This is at least the 13 time one of the regulators has broken in my liberty. This time I was lucky because my car was parked. There have been several times it has broken while driving which is a safety concern for my passengers. Jeep has not yet recalled the part even though they have acknowledged that the part is faulty.
While driving down the street, the right rear window fell off it's track. This is the third time this has happened, the other times involved the front passenger's window in april of '07, and the left rear window in july of '08.. The first two were covered by warranty. Our '06 jeep is one year past the 36 month warranty and has about 22,000 miles. I have talked with two dealers and the chrysler complaint line and the information so far is that chrysler, even though the problem is pervasive enough that they issued service bulletin # 23-008-09 to the dealers acknowledging the chronic problem, will not accept responsibility and makes the owner foot the bill. I have since been online and there are literally thousands of similar instances being reported. Someone is going to get killed. Chrysler needs to suck it up and issue a recall. Period.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that the window regulators for both rear windows have failed. The contact stated this was the first time the failure occurred on the rear passenger side of the vehicle, but this was the fourth time that it failed on the rear drivers side. The dealer stated that the failure was normal. The failure mileage was 27000. The current mileage was 46864.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact noticed that the rear driver side window would exhibit an unusual noise when opening or closing until the window was no longer operable. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the lift plate was the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 41,240 and the current mileage was approximately 43,900.
2006 jeep liberty sport rear window regulator failed. Poor design no help from chrysler or jeep dealer total cost on me.
My vehicle, a 2006 jeep liberty, has a recurring problem with window regulators failing. It has happened to me twice. The windows fall down into the doors creating a major safety hazard. The falling window startled me and it happened during a downpour, creating a major driving distraction. There are thousands of complaints about this problem on the internet, but chrysler has not issued a recall. They should do so immediately.
My 2006 jeep liberty started experiencing power window problems around nov 06. All 4 power windows would not roll down or they would roll down part of the way then get stuck and wouldn't roll back up. It was a safety concern when they were stuck open. It was also an issue in drive-through situations and other typical scenarios where you would roll down a window. A local chrysler service dept repaired it repeatedly from 2006 until they closed in early 2009, then another chrysler service department made the last repair in july 2009. Repairs ranged from re-wiring the windows to completely replacing the internal electronic system.
Last year, right rear power window fell into door while I was driving the car. The window would not go up again. Repair was $380. Now, the other three windows are having similar problems.
2006 jeep liberty window regulator failure.
On my jeep liberty the rear window on the passenger's side will not roll up. I drove to fill up my gas tank on tuesday evening, and when I was reentering my vehicle after filling up, I noticed that this window was down. I am not absolutely positive, but I highly doubt I would have been able to drive to the gas station without noticing the wind noise with that window down. Anyways, I used the button to try and roll it up and it didn't move. After a couple of tries with the button, an odd grinding sound started coming from the door. I got out and went around to see what was happening. I opened the door and used the rear buttons to roll it up, and the noise continued as well as some kind of pipe/wire came out of the door. When I tried to gently wiggle the window to see if it was bent or something, the part that was still up slid into the door (so the whole window is down now and won't roll up). I live in a dorm at a huge school, so having my whole car exposed by this open window makes me extremely nervous. I have taped a trash bag over it for now in case it rains, but it's awfully loud when I'm driving, and I doubt it will last much longer. I haven't taken it to a dealer yet because I wanted to look on the internet to see if this was happening to anyone else. I've seen so many complaints and similar stories that I am quite upset about the circumstances.
I am having problems with my 2006 jeep liberty passenger window regulators. I have seen many complaints online about this problem and chrysler jeep has done nothing to solve the problem. A recall for the window regulators needs to be put into place. Why should the car owners keep putting out money to fix the windows when the replacement part will only be another plastic part that will break again in time!

Most recently, the window regulators failed again and the contact was awaiting a return call from the manufacturer to determine if they would assist with the continual failure. The failure mileage was approximately 20,000 and the current mileage was approximately 50,000. Updated 01/13/11*lj the vehicle has since been sold. Updated 01/27/11
2006 jeep liberty- window regulator problem. Windows crash down into door while driving, startling the driver! This is the third window in the vehicle that has had to be replaced. This is apparently a huge defect (just read the many reviews online) that chrysler won't admit to.
