2007 Jeep Liberty: power window failure

Filed Sep 29, 2022 · Electrical, Engine · OR

My windows will not roll up and down. If I roll them down they will not come back up. My air conditioning went out and I had to drive , 45 minutes, home in 105 degree heat with no recourse . I could have passed out! There was a recall on the windows parts but I bought my jeep used and the recall ended before I purchased it. If chrysler diamler knows that there is an issue there should be no end date to the recall. Every vehicle should be repaired. What if I had a baby or child with me?

12/8/2020: my daughter had just returned home from college literally that morning driving through nyc to de. That afternoon she went out to see a friend and thought she had a flat tire while driving at about 50 MPH and struggled to pull over. It was at night so we couldn't see the damage. We called aaa to come change the tire. He examined the fluid under the tire and then it was obvious that tire rod fell and punctured the tire. We could also see a long black trail where the tire rod dragged on the road before she could stop. The tow truck driver said if she didn't stop when she did she would have fell into the deep ditch next to it and it would have flipped over. Considering it was dark she was lucky and even luckier this didn't happen on the highway in nyc only a few hours earlier. But what was even more disturbing is the front upper and lower control arms were just replace the rear lower control arms due to corrosion was done at the dealer, along with an alignment. (the federal safety agency campaign number: 18v278000). It's clear that the recall should also include replacing the front control arms. The window regulator also failed the week before.

Since the day I got the vehicle I have had nothing but problems it shut off while driving the steering wheel would lock up and all lights on dash would light up. Turn the key off wait a minute and it would start back up. Ground wire issue, the driver window stopped working 2x electrical problem. The power side mirror doesnt work it. While driving switches between 2 and 4 wheel drive on its own. The 4 wheel drive doesnt work. Transfer case, linkage cable broken. The part time light stay flashing or lite up on the dash the drive shalf broke and lower ball joint broke while driving. While driving the loss of traction lights up the dash. The radiator fan stopped working, water pump broken. The AC compressor and clutch went out while driving. If I leave the climate knobs turn on while vehicle not in use it drains the battery, ( the form wouldn't allow me to click any more boxes) I've had it towed, I believe this was a lemon and shouldn't of even been sold

The window regulator has broken on 3/4 of the windows in the vehicle. One was replaced at the dealership at the cost of over $500 and now the 2 rear windows have been affected. There are numerous forums online stating that this is a persistent problem with this particular make and model of vehicle.

As you're all aware about the constant and predictable window regulator failure on pretty much all jeep liberty's continues to this day. I realize the warranty has been extended an additional seven years but the replacement part hasn't been upgraded. My jeep has approximately 30,000 miles on it and they have been replaced over fifteen times. Granted the warranty paid for about half of them but I'm disabled and living on social security and can't afford this defect much longer. I thought about selling it because it's otherwise flawless however, words has gotten around and the resale I'm told is about 1,500 dollars. At the moment two of my windows are taped closed. If I had to pay for all the regulators that failed it would've cost approximately 9,000 dollars. Since the 7 year extension has now expired I usually have to replace one about every 3-4 months. And, I only put less than 1000 miles a year on mine. I most likely would have traded it in for a new one but because jeep decided the money they made was more important than customer loyalty count me out and the many people who are aware of my situation feel the same. I'm sure you heard about this several million times by now my complaint will be transferred to your spam mail folder. Do as you please and me and everyone who's aware of this will do the same.

I recently wrote about my window regulator complaints but omitted the probably most important issue. I know of several incidents involving shattered glass making its way into the cabin of the vehicle. Fortunately this hasn't happened to me (yet) because I was traveling at slower speeds. Even so, coming out to your vehicle while on vacation and finding the window regulator failed while parked certainly ruins your day. Especially if it's extremely cold or hot outside.

I was driving down the road when there was a bad pop sound loud sound I didn't know if I had been hit by somebody throwing something or if I'd actually been shot at and then the window slams down it just literally disappears I wasn't for sure if it was shattered with glass flying everywhere so I had to pull into the turning lane . It all happened so fast very fast this is my 16 year old daughter's car had she been driving I feel like we would have been talkin about different circumstances because I barely kept control of the car to pull it to the center lane. Not to mention both of the back windows will not roll up or down there now taped we have owned this car may be 3 months at most. I just went to the reviews and you can literally read for hours on the windows in the 2007 and a few other year models in the jeep libertys in a couple other models where their windows literally do this a lot I called jeep to see how much it would cost to fix their wanting outrageous some of money knowing there's an issue. I was so upset I call jeep customer service today this happened because I could only imagine my daughter being behind the wheel of that stupid jeep and I was very emotional like I said I barely myself controlled the jeep well enough to get it off the road this shouldn't be happening I asked him does it take someone to die to get things recalled because like I said you can literally read online reviews about the liberty 2007 for hours about this issue and these don't happen just want some people that actually replace their windows motors and all this other rigmor or numerous times I guess I should have read the reviews online before I got it for my daughter because I definitely wouldn't have got it. Please help

Window regulators. Windows fall into the door and will not come back up. Vehicle was stationary this time. Repeated occurrences. I am told by the dealer that the time frame is up for the recall; however, I had this fixed during the recall period and it is broken again.

Have a 2007 jeep liberty, where the window regulators have failed 5 times. 3 times was covered under warranty. Last time (11/09/15) had to pay $450.00 for repair. This time, the estimated cost is another $450.00. I am the original owner. Five failures for the same part is ridiculous. I understand there was a class action suit brought against chrysler for this problem, but don't know if that suit is still active or if I can get added to it, or if I can get reimbursed for the repair. I am located in florida.

Front window regulator is not working & window must be taped up. I also have a rear window that has failed & is wedged shut. I have had my jeep repaired twice while it was under warranty for this problem prior to this. Window fell into door.

The windows in the car have suddenly fallen several times since the car was purchased in 2007. The first time (2007)the car was under warranty and the problem was addressed. Another window regulator was replace under the extended warranty period. Since the warranty ended, the windows have fallen several times. Once I paid for the repair since the extended warranty had ended, but right rear window fell in 2015(had been repaired the first time in 2007) and the right front fell today(2016). The windows fell while driving both on highways and city streets which is a major distraction while driving. The window fell today while driving 10 MPH and making a left hand turn. The window regulators were faulty when the vehicle was built and the components used to repair them have the same issues.

My rear passenger side window will not close. I have had ongoing problems with my driver side window for years. The company claims the warranty is expired. I have seen thousands of complaints online about jeep windows malfunctioning.
