Power Window problems of the 2006 Jeep Liberty - part 1

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. While operating the vehicle, a loud and sudden banging noise occurred due to the rear passenger side window suddenly coming off track and falling into the door panel. The contact indicated that the failure occurred on multiple occasions on both passenger side windows and the rear driver side window. Each time the failure occurred, the vehicle was taken to westbury Jeep/Chrysler located in westbury, NY where it was diagnosed that the window regulators failed and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 15,000.

As I was driving with my sons in the back seat, we heard a loud bang on the right back passenger side. The window started to roll down into the door shift. I was able to pull over and catch the window and manually push it back up. It then fell completely into the door shift. It was 17 degrees outside and we had to ride all the wayhome with the window down. This is dangerous because the noise surprised us and could have caused and accident. Please research this.

This has been happening for some time. When I fill up, the gas tanks gushes out gas when it is full. This happens almost every time that I fill up with gas. It seems extremely dangerous as there is enough fuel that spills on to the ground below the Jeep. I have replaced every regulator in my Jeep's windows. They go out all of the time. The last one went out while driving and the window crashed down and scared me to death.

I was driving my vehicle near crater lake national park. The power window motor system broke on the left rear passenger door, thus allowing the window to free fall into the door frame. I have read that this is and has been an ongoing problem with this year of Jeep. Then now in decmeber, the drivers window motor system has broken again causing the glass window to free fall into the door frame. If this is all true about this system, and the fact that I now have 2 broken power window motors which will cost me nearly $900 to fix, I feel this item should be on a national recall list for Jeep to replace these items so they will not fail. It is a safety hazard as it could cause glass to break during driving time and injuring drivers.

Driver side window dropped - it's the window regulator - again. Have replaced the other window plates and regulators in this car 4 times! really scary when you're driving and the window suddenly drops! especially nice when it's pouring out! previously was reimbursed by Chrysler for repairs, but now they've 'changed their policy' (really????). This will cost me $375 at my own shop as opposed to $508 at the Jeep dealership. I wouldn't care if it was twice the price, I'm not giving Jeep a dime! this should have been a recall item, they should be ashamed of themselves.

2006 Jeep Liberty. Consumer writes in regards to defective window parts installed in vehicle. The consumer stated the window has been replaced five times within the last four months, in addition, to the previous 11-12 replacements in 2007. The consumer stated using the same defective parts was not going to fix the problem. Also, when the windows were down, there was a thumping and wind noise, that was unbearable. The consumer stated things were stolen out of his vehicle, because the windows would not go up. Also there was a noise coming from the rear of the vehicle and the doors would vibrate when the windows were down.

In August of 2011 my rear passanager window fell down while I was driving. August Nov 20 2012 my window again fell down where my infant sits and its the start of winter. I understand there is an issue with this on models 2004-2007 however they are not covering this as a recall. This is clearly a safety issue. The manager bill said that he pretty much didnt care neither did gloria the csr rep whom hung up on me when she said she was going to put me on hold after 10 min or brenda who said that they just don't do good this kind of service for people.

Left rear power window regulator assembly failed when trying to raise the window. I heard a loud pop, followed the sound of the motor working, but the window wouldn't raise. Scary, as my small child was in the seat next to the window. I have been given an estimate of $428 to fix the problem. I am adding my complaint to the long list in the hopes that Chrysler & Jeep would finally fix this systemic issue. Since this is both a safety and security issue, maybe the NHTSA can help!.

The right rear passenger window while driving 65 mph the right rear window without warning dropped all the way down into the door. This startled my 7 year old son who was sitting there and it almost caused me to lose control of the vehicle because my sons reaction startled me.

While driving the 2006 Jeep Liberty across the country from PA to TX the 2nd back window fell into the door with our dog in the back, this could of caused an accident. This happened to both my back windows, both these are child safety windows, and if someone had a child in a car seat in these Jeeps could have had a potential accident when this happened, winter months, storms etc. Please recall these hazardous window regulators on the 2006 Jeep Liberty. I was told by the local dealership, the Chrysler company will pay 1/2 for the repair,. I am asking for an immediate recall and replacement for the window regulators before someone gets seriously hurt.

While driving a passenger on the rear left side of my car attempted to roll down the window. We then heard a pop and the window was half way down and began to fall. We were able to keep the window from falling into the door. The motor continued to sound as if it was working but would not allow the window to go up or down. Approximately 6 months later the rear right side window was being rolled down and we again heard a popping sound and the window again would not roll up or down. After research it seems that this is a common occurrence and due to having two out of four windows on my car alone experience this problem it seems very strange to me that this has not been issued as a recall and is costing owners of these vehicles over $400 per window to fix this problem. This is a safety hazard for the risk of someone breaking in to a vehicle and also the risk of the window falling and breaking putting anyone in the back seat of the vehicle at risk of injury, including my daughter.

Left rear power window regulator failed causing window to fall. Inability to closed window creates cabin pressure oscillations at all speeds. The pressure oscillations create a distraction to the driver and impair the driver's hearing.

This is the 2nd time I have accessed your website with a complaint for the same problem. . I reported my other complaint on 09/20/2010. My rear windows just fall down for no reason. On 8/15/12 I walked out and noticed my rear driver side car window was down. When I tried to put it up, it just made a grinding noise. It just slips down into the window space leaving me with an open window while driving down the interstate in the rain. The same thing happened two years ago to both rear windows to the same vehicle. I was told by the dealership there was a defect in the 2006 Jeep Liberty's where this happens. It appears the windows and part that raises and lowers the window is one unit which is made of plastic. Apparently it is very cheap and fragile and breaks for no reason. You have to buy the whole window/mechanical assembly and it is very expensive. Please help me get my window fixed.

Both of my rear window regulators broke while I was rolling down the windows after being in the sun all day. This is the 3rd Jeep Liberty that I have had that has had this problem. Jeep wants me to pay $300 to get these replaced. This is a known problem and Jeep refuses to take care of it. Locking my vehicle is pointless since the windows fall down.

The contact owns a 2006 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the rear driver side window regulator failed. The lift plate for the regulator was poorly designed and the plastic parts fractured. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for inspection or repairs. The failure and the current mileage was 106,000.

I have reviewed that there are have been multiple complaints regarding faulty window regulators on these particular Chrysler vehicles. These plates in the window regulators give out causing the auto glass to slide down inside the door. I have had to have both rear regulators replaced twice and recently my front passenger regulator gave out. I have had 3 regulators replaced prior to my vehicle reaching 30,000 miles. My recent issue: my front window began to lower on its on while I was driving when I attempted to raise the window with the switch it then immediately fell down inside the door causing rain/hail to enter my vehicle while I was driving. I contacted Chrysler and they have offered no solution stating there is no recall for this part even though there are numerous consumer complaints about the faulty regulators.

Right rear power window regulator failed causing window to fall. Inability to close window creates cabin pressure oscillations at all speeds. These pressure changes are intense and cause a distraction and limit driver's hearing.

Window fell in door, rear passenger on drivers side. Self replaced motor window in doorsystem. Plastic part inside snaps or shears off. Bought a replacement part that has metal stops. No problems. Have replaced all four window motors. They all snapped at different times. By husband.

The window regulator of my rear driver's side window broke causing the window to fall into the door. Luckily my car was parked at the time and I don't live in an area that is getting snowed on. This is at least the 12th time one of the regulators has broke since I bought my car in 2006.

Driving down the road at 40 mph. Was not rolling up or down the power windows, when the back window suddenly fell from being closed to half open. It would not roll back up. It was startling and distracted my driving momentarily. Faulty regulators were the cause of previous failures and the broken glass and I expect the same determination will be made when I bring it to a Jeep dealership later this week for repair. The most recent (Nov. 29, 2010) failure on the driver's side back window was the second time this occurred on this particularly window. Previous repairs involved window and regulator replacement. This is a massive problem with Jeep Liberty suvs and a real serious safety concern in my opinion.

Driver side rear power window regulator broke 2 times within 6 months. (same window) dropped while driving - 1st time it broke it was repaired costing me $259. 52 - 2nd time it broke I have a temp fix holding window up b/c I'm not wasting $ to fix it if it is just going to break again in 6 months. . I cant afford to keep fixing something Jeep should have recalled. This is a well known Jeep Liberty 06 problem.

The rear passenger side window fell off of its track and fell down inside the door, where my 3 year old daughter was seated, while the vehicle was being driven 65 mph down a major highway, on the way to visit family out of state. I had a similar incident a year ago, but with the driverside window. This window track was covered under warranty but the glass had to be paid out of pocket (because of a change done to the new track). The recent passenger side window is in the process of being repaired.

My car was parked, when the regulator for the back passengers side window broke causing the window to fall completely into the door. This is at least the 13 time one of the regulators has broken in my Liberty. This time I was lucky because my car was parked. There have been several times it has broken while driving which is a safety concern for my passengers. Jeep has not yet recalled the part even though they have acknowledged that the part is faulty.

I purchased a used 2006 Jeep Liberty 4x4 last December and since that time I have had to replace 4 broken window regulators. Clearly these plastic regulators are substandard and easily break. There appear to be hundreds, if not thousands of complaints online relating to the same problem.

2006 Jeep Liberty window regulator failure.

On my Jeep Liberty the rear window on the passenger's side will not roll up. I drove to fill up my gas tank on Tuesday evening, and when I was reentering my vehicle after filling up, I noticed that this window was down. I am not absolutely positive, but I highly doubt I would have been able to drive to the gas station without noticing the wind noise with that window down. Anyways, I used the button to try and roll it up and it didn't move. After a couple of tries with the button, an odd grinding sound started coming from the door. I got out and went around to see what was happening. I opened the door and used the rear buttons to roll it up, and the noise continued as well as some kind of pipe/wire came out of the door. When I tried to gently wiggle the window to see if it was bent or something, the part that was still up slid into the door (so the whole window is down now and won't roll up). I live in a dorm at a huge school, so having my whole car exposed by this open window makes me extremely nervous. I have taped a trash bag over it for now in case it rains, but it's awfully loud when I'm driving, and I doubt it will last much longer. I haven't taken it to a dealer yet because I wanted to look on the internet to see if this was happening to anyone else. I've seen so many complaints and similar stories that I am quite upset about the circumstances.

2006 Jeep Liberty sport rear window regulator failed. Poor design no help from Chrysler or Jeep dealer total cost on me.

2006 Jeep Liberty- window regulator problem. Windows crash down into door while driving, startling the driver! this is the third window in the vehicle that has had to be replaced. This is apparently a huge defect (just read the many reviews online) that Chrysler won't admit to.

The driver's side rear window just suddenly fell into the door; it doesn't respond to the power window button; there is no noise at all; like there is no motor or anything supporting it.

I am having problems with my 2006 Jeep Liberty passenger window regulators. I have seen many complaints online about this problem and Chrysler Jeep has done nothing to solve the problem. A recall for the window regulators needs to be put into place. Why should the car owners keep putting out money to fix the windows when the replacement part will only be another plastic part that will break again in time!.

The passenger side window regulator cable on my 2006 Jeep Liberty failed and the window dropped all the way inside the door panel. The plastic pin holding the regulator cable to the window channel broke.
