I have owned my 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo for 10 years. I purchased the car new from liberty auto city in libertyville, IL. At 80,000 miles, I was leaving for school when I noticed my driver side window had fallen into the door. When I tried to use the switch to raise the window, it did not work. I took this car to the dealership, they knew right away that I had a problem with the window regulator, and they fixed it to the tune of $400. The dealership knew what it was because they have fixed so many, and the novice internet surfer would be able to search out this problem and find a myriad of complaints from Grand Cherokee and liberty owners alike. I understand a class action lawsuit was filed in California by Jeep liberty drivers, and Jeep has since extended the warranty on liberty windows. Jeep reimbursed me $300 of the $400 dollars for this first incident. Now, last Sunday, I was leaving my home to work the night shift at the hospital, and I noticed the passenger window was rolled all the way down - sure enough, the same thing happened to the other window. I drove to work in a snow storm with the passenger window rolled down. Now Jeep will not reimburse me for the regulator, which again cost $400 to replace. Again, my new Jeep dealership, fletcher auto in columbia, missouri, knew exactly what the problem was because they also have seen it often with vehicles from this time period. I urge you to act to create a recall for this known defective part that has caused significant trouble and expense. I was not in danger, but I had to be at work to cover my shift, so I drove in the storm and had to leave my car in an open air unguarded parking garage with the window down all night. I believe Jeep should be held accountable for this. I apologize for not providing my VIN#, I am actually working in the hospital right now for another shift.

Interior door handles are defective. The plastic surrounding the interior door handles has become brittle and broken allowing pieces to fall inside the door. This breakage has rendered the door handles inoperative and prevents the door from being opened from the inside. In the event of an accident the occupants of the vehicle would be trapped inside, especially if the power windows also became inoperative.

I am also concerned about the possibility of hitting a bump in the road and the window falling down hard and shattering. Please also take into consideration the fact that this has happened to three of my windows so far and that I am not the only one with this problem and Chrysler is refusing to do anything about it. Since it is so expensive to repair, I as well as many others are forced to live with it until I can save up enough money to get it fixed.

Defect with motor and regulators in windows.

All four windows gears and tracks have broken within the last year. Motors have had to be replaced on all four windows.

In may 2009 my passenger front window regulator went out. My local Jeep dealership said that Jeep makes cheap window regulator parts and this is a common problem with Jeeps. Yet they wanted to charge me $497. 00 to fix problem. I went ahead and fixed it, because I couldn't drive around with a window rolled down everywhere I went. Now 5 months later the passenger rear window has also broken, due to the same problem and the sunroof will also not close properly. I feel that if Jeep admits to using cheap parts for their windows, then they should also fix them for free when they break so often. I cannot afford close to $500 per window every 6 months when they keep breaking.

I own a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee laredo. In the spring of 2007, my driver's side window regulator broke (the window fell, would not roll up or down). I had it replaced. In October 2007, the same thing happened to my passenger side window. In may 2008, the same to my right rear passenger window, and in sept 2008, the same to my left rear passenger window. All windows have failed within one year of each other. The final straw was today when the rear drivers side window regulator failed again. I do not have the money to fix these, and believe that Chrysler should issue a recall to repair the windows. I have received an estimate of $347 per window to repair the three windows. I can't afford this and expect Jeep to correct the problems.

I bought my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 2006 (2nd owner) since then I have replaced the driver's side front window regulator ($400) and now the passenger front needs to be replaced. . . I have a rubber scraper stuck in it to keep the glass up until a recall is made.

My 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee has had the window just begin to fall into the door on three out of the four windows now and it is usually at the most dangerous moment possible while I'm on the highway or on the road in general. I turn to see no window or the window mysteriously down and I am unable to roll it up. This presents many different hazards not only to the vehicle itself but, also to the occupants whether it is a child or my canine companion they both like to lean on the window and look out even though a child will have a seatbelt on if the window falls down and the child falls out towards the opposing traffic still hanging by a seat belt this is not a situation I am willing to risk. And I will lose my puppy if he is sitting there no doubt about it he will fall right out and it isn't easy to leave him at home every time I go somewhere because I'm afraid of the window failing again it's completely unpredictable. Also with the weather it is not very practical to pull off of the highway which is an extremely dangerous area already but to try and somehow prop the window up isn't a safe situation any way you look at it. As cars whisk by at upwards of 70 miles an hour I try and fix something that can be fixed by changing one part on the window regulator. There is already an after market block that can replace the faulty brittle plastic piece. I would appreciate some consideration with this issue. //s// jake trione.

The windows in this Jeep have always worked great. On December 3th, we rolled the window down, but it wouldn't go up. The regulator in the passenger side front window broke and the window will not roll up. It will soon be fixed.
