This is my second complaint concerning the rear windows of my 2006 jeep liberty. After reading all the complaints filed concerning this model of vehicle and the number of "repeat" failures, I just got done sealing the other back door window shut with silicone sealant. It is pretty bad when you owe the bank $11,000 for a vehicle and you have to constantly put money into it because of a defective part the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge.

2006 jeep liberty- vehicles window tracks defective with plastic clips. Window would fall down due to defective plastic window clips holding windows onto tracks. I would put the power window up and the next thing the window would fall down. The dealership informed me it would cost $400 to fix the problem. I've seen numerous complaints online but no recalls were put into effect. The cost to repair this defective product is $400 each window. Also the original window that's is still good cannot be reattached according to dealership service department. I was informed that the new part would include the track and window together. So what do I do with the original window that is still good. This problem needs to be address. I feel owners of 2006 jeep liberty's should not have to paid due to a defective plastic clip. Please have chrysler jeep do a recall on this problem it needs to be addressed.
The driver's side rear window just suddenly fell into the door; it doesn't respond to the power window button; there is no noise at all; like there is no motor or anything supporting it.
I was driving down the road with my son in the car. All of a sudden the rear passenger window went down. It was chilly, so I ask my son to put the window up and he said I didn't put it down. I tried to roll it up (power window) and heard a grinding noise, but the window would not go up. It apparently just fell down into the door and now I can not get it up. I went on -line to see if I could find a fix and ended up finding a huge amount of people with the exact same problem. I called the dealership this morning and they said I could bring it in and diagnostic is $120.00. Are you kidding me???? So I taped a plastic bag over the window for now, but I did not realize how much I used my rear passenger window for driving, until it was no longer usable. This is absolutely unacceptable that this many people have had this problem and nothing has been done by the dealership or chrysler.
On my 2006 jeep liberty the rear drivers side window fell down on interstate 80 during a heavy rain storm. The rear seat and floor was soaked but the real problem was when it fell it scared me so bad I almost lost control of my vehicle.
Jeep liberty automobile, 2006 model year, multiple incidents of door window dropping suddenly into the door frame. Drivers door has happened twice, front passenger door once, driver's side rear passenger door has happened three times and passenger side rear door once. On two occasions this has happened while driving at high speeds and the resulting chaos has nearly caused an accident. Jeep dealership says this is a common problem for jeep liberty from 2002 to 2006. They have no solution to offer other than replacing the window solenoid with same type that keeps failing.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the driver side rear and passenger side rear windows fell suddenly although no one touched any buttons to open them. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the seals were not intact. The failure mileage was unknown. The current mileage was approximately 54,000.
I am writing to give a complaint about the 2006 jeep liberty. On numerous occasions throughout purchasing the vehicle, we have had to have the power window regulator and glass replaced. The glass falls into the door and will not roll up. The first time, and even second, I was able to take it in stride and accept it, paying the large sum to get it fixed. However, as this continues to happen on at least 4 other occasions - two of which happened within five days of each other in mid september 2010 - I am quite discouraged. I now have one window still down - passenger front - and it is currently taped up. However, in florida weather, it frequently melts and falls down. This leaves my car window down and exposed in public while I am at work - which could lead to many dangers. I am sick of taking my car in every few months because jeep cannot simply fix this problem. I paid a price for my car, and could easily have bought another car by now with the money I have spent on fixing the windows in this car - around 350 to 500 a pop for each time. This is ridiculous and jeep should be held accountable for the default.
Window regulator has broke and window will not stay up.
The passenger side window regulator cable on my 2006 jeep liberty failed and the window dropped all the way inside the door panel. The plastic pin holding the regulator cable to the window channel broke.
1. Operating normally 2. Power window failure. Occurs every 20k miles of normal use. Failure due to a broken plastic bracket that attaches the window to the regulator wire coil. When failure occurs, window may slip down resulting in possible weather damage and security risks. 3. The factory fix is costly and doesn't replace the plastic bracket. The permanent fix is to replace that bracket with a metal one for about $90 + 1 hrs labor per window.
2006 jeep liberty - three window failures within a four month period (two back windows and driver side front window. Paid over $600 to repair the back windows but when the 3rd one failed, we contacted chrysler and we were told to have it repaired and chrysler would pay the dealer for the repairs. We asked about the previous repairs and were told to write to chrysler customer service and include copies of invoices. We are in the process of doing this and don't have any response yet.
I have a 2006 jeep liberty that I purchased 6 mos ago with 25,000 miles. The back passenger window has stopped working. Still researching repair estimates.
Within the last year all four windows on my 2006 jeep liberty have failed, one of them for the second time since I have owned the car. The first window failed september of 2009. I had my window partly down and when I went to roll it up it made a terrible noise and the glass fell into the door. I paid to have it repaired which cost me $600. In august of 2010 the back two windows began to fall into the door on their own, I had not tried to roll them down, as I was driving. This happened within a week of each other. When I took it to the dealer they suggested I call jeep to request help. Jeep agreed to repair both of these windows for me. Within one week of the repair the front passenger side window fell into the door as I came to a stop in a parking lot. I am currently waiting to hear from jeep about the repair of this window. I cannot believe that this happened to my car five times in total, (the first window went out about three years ago.)
It is common that 2006 jeep liberty window regulators fail frequently. I have had all 4 of my windows fail; two of the windows have failed a second time following dealer repair. Although the rear windows are rarely used, both have fallen completely into the door while I was driving. This is clearly a dangerously flawed design that should be corrected by jeep/chrysler.
I own a 2006 jeep liberty and this morning I was rolling down the window when I heard a pop and was unable to return the rear left passenger window to the closed position. I searched about this problem and found that this is becoming a common problem among 2006 jeep liberties. A forum suggested that I report it. I had not experienced any problems before this incident.
The regulators on the power windows on my 2006 jeep liberty break repeatedly. I just dropped my car off at my local auto repair to fix the rear passenger and the front driver windows. These have both been fixed before. These are incidents 6 and 7.
My windows are falling into the well of my 2006 jeep liberty doors for no reason at all. Dealers are not openly offering to replace with updated parts. I was told that the cost would be up to $500 per window and offering to have chrysler make good of the defect. I was told the window regulators were defected and that chrysler was aware of the problem. If you know there is a problem, just have the dealer replace and file with chrysler to make this a "good service policy".
2006 jeep liberty passenger side rear window falls on its own and will not come back up.
I purchased a 2006 jeep liberty in tampa, fl september of 2006. This vehicle was purchased brand new, with approx 24 miles on it at the time of purchase. Since my purchase the rear window regulators fail 5 times as of the current date. 4 times the dealership in fl fixed without any cost to me. When this happened 9/15/2010 for the 5th time (3rd time on the same window) I called the local jeep dealership and spoke to the service manager :explained the issue & wanted to know when I could bring it to the dealership to be repaired. He went on to tell me this: 'you can bring it in anytime, there is a $100 deductible to have this fixed. ' ( I questioned why, as this was an obvious defect on the manufacturer) he responded 'that is what the charge is, just be glad that this has not happened to all of your windows, this is a common problem with the 2002- current jeep liberty. Jeep is aware of the problem, but they are not going to issue a recall, nor are they going to do anything about it.' (I was shocked that I would be told this) 'if you don't like this well, call chrysler yourself, here is the number 1‑800‑992‑1997.' after I hung up the phone with him, I called the original dealership in florida to get the exact dates of the repairs. Right rear- 1/28/08 left rear- 12/20/2006, 7/8/2008, and 8/13/09. I did call chrysler and spoke to someone, received a case number, and was told that someone would contact me in 24-48 hours with some sort of resolve to this. (that was thursday morning.) I received a call from the case manager at chrysler friday around 9:50am. There was a message left to call back, or I could wait for them to call me back on monday. Called back,spoke 2 gretchen: sai the case manager had put notes in the case with the following: I had to pay the $100 up front and I could submit all the documents to be reimbursedasked to speak to the case manager and was transferred to matt (whom I thought was the case manager).
Window regulator failed on driver side rear window in 2007. Regulator was replaced and covered by factory warranty. Window regulator failed on passenger rear window in 2010, not covered by factory warranty. By 2010, the window regulator had an updated design that required a new window to be purchased in addition to the regulator, as the old window would not fit properly with the new regulator.
Faulty window regulators in jeep liberty. Window falls without warring. Windows do not have to be in use at the time they fall. Repair is $400. Dealership advised this is a common recurring problem, and may continue to happen after repair.
2006 jeep liberty rear driver's side window free falls into door. This is the 2nd time this issue has occurred on the very same door. The first time, it was fixed by the dealer at no cost (mileage: 19000, feb., 2008). This time, after explaining that the problem was exactly the same as the first time, the dealer asked for $90 to diagnose the problem, which I found ridiculous. After a very brief internet search, I found that this is an extremely common problem, which makes it even more infuriating that the dealer wanted me to pay them to diagnose the problem. The dealer finally offered to make the repair for $100, which I declined. This is a clear safety issue, not to mention a security issue. When this happens when the car is in motion, it causes the driver to be distracted, which can -- and eventually will -- lead to an accident. On the security side, this issue can occur at any time, even when the vehicle is not being driven, which could lead to a window being open without the owner's knowledge. Chrysler and the government regulators need to start treating this like the safety issue that it is and issue a recall. It makes no sense that an owner should have to pay to have a clearly defective item replaced, especially when its going to be replaced with virtually the same part, which will eventually fail again.
The rear left window stopped working, and now slides down into the door on its own. This seems to be a very common problem on jeeps. At this point in time, anyone can walk up to my jeep an simply push the rear window down from the outside. Luckily, I was alone in my car when the window stopped working and slid down on its own.
Left rear drivers side window fell. Will not go up. Door will not open or close properly. The other windows are starting to go out. I can tell now, by the sound. The rear window has been used 3 times. I have only had the jeep for 18 months. The replacement part seems to fail right after it is put in. At $550.00 per window at my dealer I can not get them fixed. But now my kids can not ride in the backseat because I am afraid the window will fall.
On my 06 jeep liberty my 2 back rear windows have failed. The one I caught before it went down into the door, jammed some cardboard on the sides to keep it up. However, here in sw florida during the summer we have a "rainy" season for 6 months. Needless to say driving down the road one of these bands of rain starts pouring and now here goes the other rear window down "inside" the door this time. Will not come up! If this is not a safety recall I don't know what is. Let's just say trying to keep the car on the road, in the correct lane all while trying to find someplace to pull off the road until the rain stops. Of course, now the seats are soaking wet, and we liberty owners know what comes next...........because the seats get wet all this nasty white stain is on them and must be brought in to get cleaned. Douglas jeep (venice, fl) did take care of both windows within 4 days, I do feel it is jeep's responsibility and I should not have been charged period ($192) douglas jeep has always been very concerned with this problem and I appreciate them getting me in as soon as they did. I might add that these two windows failed within 2 weeks of each other.
I was driving home in my 2006 jeep liberty, when the back passenger side power window fell again! This is the second time this week that one of the power windows fall. I have had this window and two other windows serviced for this very problem before and it and chrysler continues to be unable to fix it! When it fell, it was raining, and I had to hurry to get home because it was raining inside of the jeep. I should not have to keep a garbage bag in my vehicle just in case my window falls. This seems to happen to at least two windows every three or four months for us. When we bring it to the service department, it seems to work fine for a while until sooner or later it falls again. They tell us that a plastic clip holds the window up, and the window falls when the clip gives out. It seems like this plastic clip must be pretty weak to go out as often as this! We don't even put the window up or down at all. The service department says that the part can go out whether the window is in use or not because of the tension it holds. When asked about any recalls on this part, their response was that recalls are only issued when a safety violation can occur. It is a safety violation to me! When the windows fall, and my children are in the car and it is storming outside that certainly affects my driving because I am concerned for the safety of my kids! I wonder what damage would be caused if the window falls and shatters inside the door? How would chrysler respond to that? Chrysler seems to take this as no big deal, but I believe that someone can get seriously injured because of this defect. Can we please get something done about this before something does happen to someone?
I have a 2006 jeep liberty. The windows have broken three times. They fall into the door and cannot be raised. When this happens, the window is stuck in the full down position and is a great risk as objects can fly into the car...and great risks when parking overnight and the window not being able to be raised. This the third window broken, with one broken twice. The windows get fixed at a dealership at a cost of $100 per window and require me to miss a half to a full day of work depending on the service repair volume.
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. The contact stated that both rear windows and the drivers side window fell down while driving 45 MPH during a thunderstorm. The failure occurred with two children in the back seat of the vehicle. The contact had to pull over and wait until the storm stopped before the contact could continue driving. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that since the warranty expired the contact would be responsible for the repairs. The contact stated that this was not the first time the windows malfunctioned. He was also familiar with numerous complaints regarding the window failure. The failure mileage was 91,000.
Back window fell and switch will not bring it back up. This is my second window problem.
