Alternator/generator/regulator Problems of Jeep Laredo

For no specific reason the windows on the Jeep cherokee grand Laredo suddenly drop in their channels and will not come back up. I had a similar failure on a 2000 model previously owned, and now with my 2002 I had the same issue on December 31 2005 with the rear driver side window, and yesterday with the passenger front window. This morning I called Jeep customer service and was given the typical runaround. I have extended warranty and tried to get the deductible ($100 per occurrence) waived and that didn't work either. I was informed by my servicing deal that this is a known issue that was supposed to have been corrected in models starting in 2005 where they switched the plastic regulator for a metal one. I informed customer relations that this is not an isolated issue as two other coworkers have had the same issue on three windows in the same model trucks/year. Who knows how many others there are out there!. Daimler Chrysler obviously doesn't realize that this is a very dangerous situation than can expose drivers to accidents while driving if they have to pay attention to a sudden dropping window, or a potential personal safety issue if driving in a potentially dangerous area. Please investigate what can be done about it.

Erratic, intermittent instrumentation failures over the past three years starting with the airbag light going on and off, a malfunctioning odometer and culminating in the recent failure of the speedometer. I suspect this is caused by a defective electrical connector as noted in company service bulletin #081599. I have not been able to obtain this info from either Chrysler or the Jeep dealership. Clearly this is a defective part and should be recalled by Chrysler as it is a safety hazard. Please refer to NHTSA complaints # 10025741, 896900, 723322, 10026823. . . In addition, my front passenger window crashed inside the door while driving. This was due to the plastic clip breaking in the window regulator that has since been redesigned. I have already had to replace the driver side window at the cost of several hundred dollars about a year ago for the exact same problem. Clearly this is a defective part and is not due to "normal wear and tear" and should be recalled by Chrysler as it is a safety hazard. In addition, my interior rear view mirror fell off my windshield into my lap while driving on the expressway in 2000. Was told the glue lost adhesion due to exposure to direct sunlight. It was fixed by dealer after I purchased a "mirror repair kit". Clearly this is bad design and an enormous safety hazard. I am presently driving my Jeep in a downtown metro area with three windows and a non- working speedometer until I can afford to get problems repaired.
