Aside from the numerous problems with the windows actuators failing (6 times) as mentioned in many complaints on this site; esim valve replacement due to a check engine light constantly on; a complete transmission rebuild (at about 60,000 miles); sunroof failure; back tailgate door failing to unlock or open; gas spillage problem when filling up and the hitch recall, I am now having problems with the door lock actuators failing. I've already had to replace the one on passenger door behind the driver. Now the driver's door lock has also failed. This was discovered after a somebody rifled through the items in the car. Nothing was stolen but I was sure I locked it. Sure enough when I tested the locks, the door did not lock or unlock using the key fob, the door lock button on the inside or the auto lock feature when going over 15mph.. All the other doors working at this time. But who knows when I'll have to have the other 2 doors fixed. First door failure date is in the "when dis this happen" section.

Jeep liberty window regulator fail. This is a repeat occurrence, all 4 windows were replaced under warranty at 29,000 miles after 26 months of ownership under tsb 2300809 at a cost to chrysler of $1,332.40. Now the latest window fail happened during non-use, while I was inside my work building. This window is barely used; I hardly carry passengers. It has been 23,000 miles and 17 months since the entirely new unit was put in. * * I came out of work, and the window had slid down into the door sometime during the day. Additionally, I was unable to close the door after I used a plastic bag to cover the window due to the wire cable blocking the door latch * * this can lead to increased theft, damage from the weather, as well as to passengers (specifically a baby) in the backseat during fail. No operating windows and doors stuck open are safety concerns. * * the dealer is refusing to pay for the replacement, just under $400, even after stating I would contact chrysler, the bbb and local news. There are copious amounts of these cases online, heavily targeting the 2007 liberty as well as some earlier models. The level of widespread failures and amount of time this has gone on without a recall is disturbing to say the least. Currently there is also tsb 2303807 about the issue. I love jeeps, and we have bought a cherokee, wrangler, and 2 liberty's. This lack of doing the right thing and repeated failure makes us look to a more reliable (foreign made) vehicle as the next choice. * * *in summary, the window regulator starts to fail, windows start to slide off track or just drop into the door. Windows are left open and doors cannot be shut. This demands a recall.

I have had my windows fall and not go back up 5 different times since I have owned my 2007 jeep liberty,nov 2007. Every time I take it in and get it fixed the dealer says they hope this time will be the last. One time when the left rear window fell the door would not open because of the pressure from the broken window motor. This is very dangerous since the window will not stay up. This is a safety issue. I also have several stains on my stain resistant seats from water, rain and bottled water which is not dirty.
