Power Window problems of the 2005 Jeep Liberty - part 1

Defective window regulators. Everyone knows about them. Just type in 2005 Jeep Liberty window regulator and see all the hits. The window regulators are bad on all Jeep Libertys from 2002-2007. I have sent information before but it seems no one cares until someone dies. I have contacted the dealer, Chrysler, bbb, the state attorney general and several tv stations. I have also told several federal government agencies including NHTSA but again no one cares about the american citizen. The ones who pay the bills. When it fails the window slides down without any warning so your car becomes unsafe and you are unable to lock it or secure the car. The glass can slide down in the door or break in the door. Then you take it to the dealer and he charges you $400 to fix a known defective. Chrysler and the dealers love it. You make money when you sell a car with a defect and then charge the person everytime the defect fails. It is a win win for Chrysler and its dealers. The public is getting the shaft. Imagine not going certain places because you are afraid your car is not safe to take there or not going over night because of your car. How about I stop at a red light and a guys gets in my back seat with a knife or a gun and kills me due to my broken window regulator. The window falls down and the rain stains the seats another issue the seats stain even from water. Not to mention the other issues I have had the belt tensior, the horn, the roof rack, the parking brake, the master cylinder, window regulators, window regulators, the list goes on and on. I see there are over 60 complaints about it on your website so when can I expect something to be done. When will there be a recall on window regulators on Jeep Liberty's? maybe we need someone to go postal at a dealership to get attention. Not me. There is a known defect and with tons of evidence so fix it.

I was parked and preparing to leave work when my window dropped down into the door. I see that a recall was done on this same issue for my vehicle, but not my year. . I have a 2005 and they are only covering this issue for 2006 forward. . . Why. . If it is an issue with this model, than shouldn't the other years be covered as well?.

Three out of four windows- loose and disconnected from window assembly. Possible dangers from tossed/flailing glass. One would think Chrysler would be concerned with this safety issue with inferior parts and post recalls on defective window regulators and assist their clients for repairs of these part in order to avoid a possible disastrous situation.

The rear passenger side window regulator broke due to wear of a plastic component. The window slides down completely and causes the car to be open to the elements/thieves. The rear driver side window regulator had the same issue the previous year.

The approximate failure mileage was 80,000. Kmj.

The passenger window regulator went out. The window just went down and doesn't go up. When I push the button, for the window to go up it just makes a noise.

The contact owns a 2005 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated the rear driver's side window regulator recurringly failed.

Power window has failed and allowed the glass to fall inside the door on three different windows. This has happened on my gasoline 2005 Liberty on three occasions beginning in 2010 and on my diesel 2005 Liberty, once in 2011.

Jeep Liberty 2005 windows. 2 out of 4 windows have fallen and no longer can be closed. The windows fell on their own without hitting and bumps or pot holes while driving. The window motor hums but the windows will not move up or down. This is a recurringroblem for Jeep and we ask the company to recall and correct this matter. It should be taken care of by the company so they do not continue to lose the confidence of their costumers.

Rear, drivers side window falls down into door and cannot be lifted using switch. The same window has been repaired twice already once in March 08 then again March 09. Jeep reimbursed me 1/2 for first repair and 100% for second. I have requested Jeep pay for repair again but do not yet know if they will.

My rear drivers side power window had broken twice on my 2005 Jeep Liberty. It seems as if it comes off it's track and the window moves freely in the frame. It falls down into the inner part of the door when I hit a bump. I have had this repaired once before for a rather large fee. I have heard numerous complaints of the same description from other drivers of Jeep Liberty's from all of the power windows. Something needs to be done about this because it is not fair that I have to pay for bad engineering on the part of Chrysler.

Rear power window of my 2005 Jeep Liberty fell down while car was parked, leaving the car open and unprotected. Called dealer, and he asked "is this your first time?" he says it is super common, and a design fault.

Power windows defective.

I have a 2005 Jeep Liberty. I have had all 4 window regulators fail and 2 of them fail twice. I don't understand why there has not been a recall. I was just driving down the road one time and the rear window just fell down. I never ever even use the rear windows! please help!.

2005 Jeep Liberty back rear window fell down into door. Will not go up and needs new regulator. Dealership stated it would cost $400 to repair. After further research I see this is a huge problem and should be recalled. We bought the car brand new and no one ever rides in the back seat. Honestly, the rear windows have probably only been rolled down twice.

Left rear passenger window equipment failure. Window slides to an open position without assistance - remains open & will not respond to mechanism.

The window regulators continuously break. The windows creep down and cannot be rolled back up. Often, the windows fall down into the door causing a potential safety hazard for children or pets that could fall out of a moving vehicle. There is also a considerable theft and safety opportunity as the window regulators break without notice, allowing someone to reach into the vehicle. The left rear window regulator in my vehicle has broken four times now (it happens approximately every nine months), and the right rear window has broken once. I have been told by the service repair technicians to expect the problem to continue to occur, as the plastic part that is being replaced has not been changed in design. This last time that the left rear window regulator broke, a thick metal cable lodged itself into the latch in the door. The rear left door could not be opened. This is an obvious safety hazard in the even of an accident as an emergency crew would not be able to get the door open, nor could a passenger get out if need be.

Rear driver window just fell into the door. Seems the power window regulator broke and you must buy the entire unit not just the piece that broke. I have researched this online and this is usual occurrence on this vehicle. There should be a recall. Also Chrysler seems to drag their feet on recalls. I turned in my recall card over a year ago on the ball joint recall and have yet to get a call to bring my 2005 Jeep Liberty in. This is unacceptable especially since the ball joints are such an integral part of the suspension. . . . . I am afraid of my safety whenever I get on the highway fearing these joints are going to give out. Please help!!!.

I had to have two window regulators repaired. Since then I have had to have all the window regulators repaired some of them multiple times for a total of eight. Currently I have 2 more that need to be replaced. I had customer care at Chrysler discount the repair of two of them through a complaint procedure at Jeep in July 2011. They refuse to help any more because of the previous repair work provided.

My back drivers side window keeps sliding down. I was told it was the regulator. This is no longer covered under the warranty.

I purchased a 2005 Jeep Liberty in July 2005, only 10 miles. I was excited as this was my first new vehicle. I heard good things about Jeep however, over past two years I am very disappointed in Jeep. I have had two recalls on my Jeep. One replace the ball joints and the other for a transmission/gear slip. Two months after I bought it, motor on the driver?s side rear window went motor was making noise and window just rolled down. On the freeway the window just came all the way down by itself. I brought the Jeep in and reps told me the regulator/motor was bad. I noticed that other customers had same problem. Little over two years later, other window on the rear passenger side went. My window broke Thursday night, 4/10/08. I was leaving work late and where I work isn't best part of town. I came up to my Jeep and noticed the window was all the way down! this is definitely safety issue. Called the dealership the next day at moore Chrysler Jeep peoria az 85382 told them what happened. I asked the rep if they would need to order the part before I come in. She stated and I quote, ?no, we don?t need to order the part as this is a common Jeep problem. We have plenty in stock. ? this is obviously a manufacturer defect I was furious at this point since this is the second time I have had to go and get this fixed. This is not a wear and tear type of problem. This is a manufacturer defect and they know it is faulty product. This is common knowledge at dealerships and they know that! I can?t see how Jeep could knowingly put these vehicles up for sale like this! this is definitely a safety hazard. What if I had been parked at the mall? there is no defense, the window just rolls down by itself, with the engine turned off! as you can see I am very upset by this. This faulty motor needs to be recalled in all Jeeps! I hope that no one gets hurt by this faulty motor as a child could easily go out the window! or they could get in and hide and rape or kill someone!.

Bought Liberty new in 2005. On 03-26-08, left rear window regulator broke for no reason. Repair not covered under warranty-cost $325. 00. Other owners had same complaint, buy per Jeep, no recall. On 12-16-09, right front window regulator broke and window dropped into door panel. Still no recall. Per service advisor Jeep now using a different "fix"" and replaced regulator should not have same problem. Repair cost $381. 00. On 11-03-10, left rear window regulator (previously replaced in 03-08) broke again. Window had not even been used dozen times since previously replaced. Filed complaint with Jeep. Also researched and saw many Jeep owners having same repetitive problem. Was advised by Chrysler customer assistance center that it was a vendor issue and no recall in effect. After battle with Chrysler, they finally agreed to reimburse me 100% for 3rd window and the cost of the 2 prior repairs minus $100. 00 deductible. They reimbursed me $606. 00.
