1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 03/24/2017

Window regulators. Windows fall into the door and will not come back up. Vehicle was stationary this time. Repeated occurrences. I am told by the dealer that the time frame is up for the recall; however, I had this fixed during the recall period and it is broken again.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2016

Front window regulator is not working & window must be taped up. I also have a rear window that has failed & is wedged shut. I have had my Jeep repaired twice while it was under warranty for this problem prior to this. Window fell into door.

3 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2016

The windows in the car have suddenly fallen several times since the car was purchased in 2007. The first time (2007)the car was under warranty and the problem was addressed. Another window regulator was replace under the extended warranty period. Since the warranty ended, the windows have fallen several times. Once I paid for the repair since the extended warranty had ended, but right rear window fell in 2015(had been repaired the first time in 2007) and the right front fell today(2016). The windows fell while driving both on highways and city streets which is a major distraction while driving. The window fell today while driving 10 mph and making a left hand turn. The window regulators were faulty when the vehicle was built and the components used to repair them have the same issues.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated that the front driver side and rear windows failed to go up or down while using the window switches. Also, the front passenger side and rear windows moved very slowly when the window switch was activated. The contact stated that the driver side window regulator failed, causing the window to open without the window switch being depressed. In addition, the contact stated that the tpms warning light was illuminated even though the tire was inflated to the manufacturer's vehicle specification. The vehicle was not taken for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000.

5 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2013

I was driving back to salisbury, MD from washington DC when I heard win coming into my Jeep. I checked all my windows in be sure they were up but the noise continued. When I visually checked the windows I found the driver side rear window all the way down. I pulled over to check it and found that the window would not roll back up electrically. I had to drive 3 hours with the back driver's side window down. I had this window repaired for the same thing 2 years ago and now again. Just this year in April I had to spend money to fix the driver side window due to the same problems. And each time it was the regulator and only once did Jeep refund me my money. The other problems is the gas. When the Jeep is full it doesn't cut off, the gas spills all down the side of the car regardless.

6 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2012

I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty sport, with no warranty. A few months ago, the rear, driver side window regulator and motor went bad and I had to replace this out of pocket. What is more frustrating is that this has happened to my driver front widow now. Since my last repair, larry h. Miller Jeep in sandy utah has inflated the price of the part. They are very aware of the need of this faulty part and are taking advantage of customers. I now have no window (it is cracked inside my door and I am not in financial position to replace it). It is approximately 30 degrees in my state right now, this is almost unbearable. I have also owned a 2006 Jeep Liberty prior to this and the rear driver window regulator and motor also went out. I also had to replace this at my cost. This makes three times for the same part! I am asking for a recall and for the dealership to replace this at no additional cost to me. I feel it is already unfair that they provide a bad part, but even worse that they inflated the price part recently and are taking advantage of consumers. This is also unsafe, I have to drive with a garbage bag to my window which blocks my line of sight, but is the only way to keep dry in this fall/winter weather. Please help me, I am at a loss right now and this is my only means of transportation. The dealership's number for where I purchased the vehicle (866) 653 3505. Thank you again. Thank you.

7 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 11/18/2011

This is my 5th time in 4 years! having to bring into the dealer to have the window fixed. Malfunctions and break down of electric window motors or regulators.

8 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 11/11/2011

The rear passenger window regulator failed and the window dropped. It is currently being held in place with zip ties as the repair will be about $300. Both the passenger and driver front windows are slow to go back up and come off track. You have to pull them towards the back of the car to get them back up. I expect both to fail soon. I have read numerous complaints about this very issue.

9 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 07/19/2010

Rear window fell down and does not stay up, used a device to keep from falling down, 1 week later the other one fell down. Took to repair shop and was told the regulator was bad on both windows and needs to be replaced along with the window also. The reason for this is because the regulators were redesigned and it will cost over $800 to repair and was told the problem could happen again. No old parts are available have to put in new parts. The consequences of not repairing are the window can come down and someone can get in your car, the other solution is to have it fixed so it cannot fall down until you get the money to replace it.

10 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 12/02/2008

I bought my Liberty when it was a year old from a dealer. One month later, the drivers side window fell into the door. It was still under warranty, the dealer fixed it with new parts. A year ago in June 2012 the rear window dropped into the door. The rear windows are never even used. I had to pay a mechanic to raise it up and hold it up with duck tape because the regulator and repair is going to cost over $400. 00!!the window would slowly start to drop before it finally went into the door completely when I was driving and the noise from the outside was so loud I thought I was having a flat tire and had to pull over. Not to mention the constant attention I had to pay to make sure the window was still being held up with the awful looking duct tape! so angry and disappointed with Chrysler. I read online of so many other owners having this same problem. I could never risk putting a child back there because of this risky problem. D. G.
