Rear passenger window fell partially down & won't go back up. Motor makes noise but window doesn't go up. Research on internet indicates window regulator/motor small plastic piece problem well documented. Jeep needs to recall & fix all windows.
Rear driver's side window fell into door. Could not get it back up. Window is now held in by zip ties. 6/23/2012 front passenger power door lock stopped working. Purchased vehicle used in June 2007, rear passenger power door lock not working at that time. Occaisionally vehicle will stall and restart while driving.
I recently noticed abnormal tire wear (insides balding) on my front tires so I replaced the tires and took the vehicle for an alignment. Before the repair shop would do the alignment on the vehicle the checked the components to be sure that the was no other problems. They found that the lower and upper ball joints were bad on both sides and stated that it was unsafe to drive. I imediately contacted my local Jeep dealer to inquire about the repairs and to check for recalls. They advised me that there was a recall on the lower ball joints, I asked if the lower ball joints could cause the upper ball joints to go bad and they said that it could. I asked if that would be covered under the recall as well since they could have caused the upper ball joints to become bad, and I was told no that it would only cover the lower ball joints. So my complaint is that the recall should cover the upper ball joints as well because even after the repairs on the lower ball joints the vehicle is still unsafe to drive if the recalled part caused the problem to the upper portion as well.
Power window regulator failure. This is the fourth time in 2 years. This is a major problem that is very expensive to fix. The regulator fails when the car is not even in motion. The window will fail to roll up or down when the regulator fails and it makes a grinding sound when you try to roll the window up or down. This is obviously a huge problem judging by how many complaints are listed on this website. Jeep needs to recall the power window regulators in these vehicles and take care of their customers. Who has three hundred dollars to fix an ongoing problem two times or more a year. I am a very upset customer and I think something needs to be done about this problem.
The window regulator for the rear driver's side window has failed, leading to the window unable to roll up and loss of window control that leads the window to fall inside the door and glass to shatter.
My horn will not stop blowing, it woke everyone in my neighborhood up at 10pm last night, and the only way it would stop was to disconnect the battery. Water seems to be leaking into my fuse box. I have taken the car to a mechanic and will see how it turns out.
Failure of passenger side power window (1) while driving to work, I attempted to roll down the passenger side door window and the window just fell down inside the door. At that point, I was unable to roll up the window. (2) the window could not be operated by the power switch and therefore, I had to remove the door panel and secure the glass with a piece of wood. (3) the failure has not been corrected at this time. While researching this problem - I have found that this is a reoccurring problem across the country with Jeep Liberty's and I feel that this is a great safety problem. The glass in the window is for protection and should it fall out while driving at a normal rate of speed - this could potentially cause damage to the driver, passengers or other cars on the highway. I feel like Chrysler corperation should bear the costs to correct this problem and not leave it up to the owners to correct this defect in the Liberty. There are pages and pages online with Liberty owners who have had this same problem. Just entering (Jeep Liberty window problems) will take you to numerous complaints about this issue. It is disheartening to still be paying on a vehicle that is like new but is falling apart. I was already involved in an accident in which the faulty ball joints just gave way. Thankfully, I was not on the interstate when this happened. Now this failure of the window is another recall I would like to see happen. It would be appreciated if you would make Chrysler corporation stand behind their products. The Jeep Liberty is not a cheap vehicle to buy but it is certainly cheaply made and it is sad to wonder what is going to happen next while driving this vehicle.
I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty. On June 7, 2011 the passenger rear window just fell down inside the door. Our extended warranty doesn't cover replacing window regulators. That cost $300 to repair. Then, on June 27, 2011 the passenger front window just fell down inside the door. It is in the repair shop and it will cost another $300 to be repaired. The driver side window regulator is also about to break. When I put the window down the whole inside door panel expands and the repair shop said it's about to break. I think its a big safety hazard if my windows just fall down inside the door especially when I'm driving and have small children in the car and weather conditions. Also, when the window falls inside the door it makes a loud noise which is a distraction from the driver. There needs to be a recall because my repair guy said that these regulators have to be replaced quite often at $300 a pop!!! I am not a satisfied customer what so ever.
Window regulators have been repaired 9 times on my vehicle. Please contact mack massey jepp in el paso and bill luke jeeep in phoenix for details. This has been ongoing thing since 2008.
While driving down the highway, the rear driver-side window began to open of its own accord. Trying to stop the window from lowering further using the control button on the console did nothing but make a terrible grinding noise inside the door. Within five miles of driving, the window glass had disappeared into the door panel. This has happened twice now. The first time was a year ago, mid-April 2010, also while driving on the highway. This year it happened to the same window again, mid-April 2011, which means the replacement parts failed, too. The wind in the car was awful, not to mention the cold! it certainly made for a noisy, freezing, and uncomfortable drive. When I arrived at my destination, I had absolutely no way to close up my car, since the window glass had disappeared into the door. I was very afraid someone would steal my car.
2004 Jeep Liberty second replacement of a rear window regulator/motor.
2004 Jeep Liberty columbia 4x4 3. 7 engine. The key will not turn in the ignition to start the car. Saw no steering column choice on the components list so I chose other. I have seen on the internet that there are 100's if not thousands of people with the same problem.
Normal use of the vehicle. Normal use of the power windows. No bumps, accidents, rough driving, inclement conditions, rough terrain, unusual external force applied or anything that would constitute replacing the third power window regulator in approximately 2. 5 years. I've fortunately only had to replace the right side of the vehicle's window regulators. Both the front and the rear have gone out, the rear twice in the past 2. 5 years. Jeep has apparently only acknowledged the issue because of the part number revision of the part 6 times since 2004. It would be great to have this problem fixed once and for all and to have all the regulators replace by an authorized dealer with a part that can be guaranteed for the life of the vehicle. I don't want money since this hasn't cause and personal or property damage but I would not like to pay hundreds of dollars every 6-9 months to replace a part that technically should last 5 times as long as it does.
My spouse was driving on the highway when the left window fell into the door of our 2004 Jeep Liberty. On further research I became suprised to find hundreds of complaints about the same problem. The costs for repair are nuts and unwarented because of poor design by Chrysler. How is it that the ones to pay for all the mistakes created by manufactures ends up being the consumer. We have done enough for the big corporations it is time to do something for the people. I'm going to recommend to all that I know not to purchase Chrysler products.
I was driving up to kids school to park and parked and tried to take the seat belt off and it was stuck. The red release button was stuck down. I was able to get it released, but the red release button was still stuck down. I tried to re-buckle and nothing worked. I went to the dealership "napletons" and they said that the part was on national back order. I am still waiting.
I'm working in a big city and park my car all day in a open parking lot. The left rear window of my car was open, not sure if it was open all day. . For right now im duck taping that window from the inside, nothing has been done yet waiting to order and have it fixed, part alone will cost at least $ 150. 00 and then repair cost, ?????.
Window regulator in three of the windows failed while driving. No way to put up the window while driving. No way to secure the vehicle when parked. No way to keep rain and snow from coming in the window until it was repaired. We replaced the window regulators with ones from a salvage yard. We kept old parts.
2004 Jeep Liberty window regulators. Replaced left rear window regular ($450) in 2009. Replaced left rear window regulator in July, 2010 at cost of $96 (goodwill warranty). Right rear window regulator needs to be replaced but hasn't because of cost. Now front left window regulator has to be replaced for $350. This causes hardships in inclement weather conditions while driving the windows get stuck or fall down while driving causing distractions as well as financially having to pay labor and parts costs each repeat time.
The first time this happened, I was driving home from work, and the passenger side, front window fell into the door. At first, I did not know what had happened, I just heard a loud "bang" from the side of my car - I thought that something may have hit the car. Fortunately, I was only going about 35 mph when this occurred, and I was level headed enough to keep driving the car in my lane. This was on route 35 in eatontown, NJ, which is a busy highway during rush hour when this incident occurred. The 2nd time this happened, the rear passenger side window fell into the door. This was in June 2010, 47,000 miles. The third time this happened, the driver side front window fell into the door. This was February 14, 2011, 50,000 miles. Thank god I was not driving on the garden state parkway when these incidents occurred. I have receipts for the repairs. I just got off the phone with Chrysler, and they issued an extended warranty for the 2006 and 2007 models, but not for the 2004 Jeep Liberty models. The rear window passenger side has not fallen into the door yet. My grandson's car seat is next to that window. I know that it is unsafe, but I am losing my job this year because of fort monmouth closing. I am now seriously thinking about getting a new car when I find a new job. The component that fails is the window regulator. It holds the window in place, and when it fails, the window falls into the door.

I have attempted 3 times to get my recall taken care of on my 2004 Jeep Liberty. Each time someone has assured me the part would be ordered and they would call me when it came in. I have not heard anything to date. This has occurred since prior to me receiving the first recall in the mail.
2004 Jeep Liberty safety recall. When the consumer presented the recall notice to the service department they were unaware of the recall and lacked any knowledge or equipment to make the necessary adjustment. The dealer retained the letter and advised the consumer to make an appointment for June 24, 2004. The consumer arrived on the appointment date. The recall stated that the repair would take 30 minutes to complete. An hour later the consumer asked if the vehicle was completed they said the vehicle was not completed and that they could not predict when it would be completed. The consumer took the vehicle from the dealer with the repairs having been completed. The consumer feels the repairs were not being made in a timely manner.
