2002 Jeep Liberty complaints

HEADLIGHTS OF 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT HAVE BEEN BLINKING ON AND OFF AT RANDOM INTERVALS WHILE IN USE FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS. A SOUND INSIDE SIMILAR TO THE SOUND HEARD WHEN DRIVER TURNS THE HEADLIGHTS ON OCCURS EACH TIME THE HEADLIGHTS BLINK. WHILE IN OPERATION, HEADLIGHTS WILL BLINK ON AND OFF 4 OR MORE TIMES DURING A 6 MILE DRIVE. WAS TOLD BY JEEP DEALERSHIP THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE ISSUE DURING A DIAGNOSTIC. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2002 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT IN AUGUST 2001. I STILL OWN IT AND OVER THE YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A CONSISTENTLY RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE OPERATORS ON THE DOOR WINDOWS BREAKING OR FAILING CAUSING THE WINDOW GLASS TO FALL INSIDE THE DOOR. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR (TO DIFFERENT WINDOWS) AND EACH TIME THE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE WINDOW OPERATOR AT A COST OF ALMOST $300 FOR THE PART AND EQUAL AMOUNT FOR LABOR, ETC. THE FAILURE IS APPARENTLY A PLASTIC CLIP THAT BREAKS OR LOSES ITS GRIP ON THE GLASS BUT THE DEALERS SAY THEY MUST REPLACE THE WHOLE OPERATOR. I NOTE FROM THE INTERNET THAT MANY OTHER JEEP LIBERTY OWNERS REPORT THE SAME DEFECT. WHY CAN'T CHRYSLER/JEEP COME UP WITH A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A CHRONIC DEFECT AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF THERE ARE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. *TR

I HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS AND THE LAST THING I NEED IS FOR THEM TO THROW SOMETHING OUT OR FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN TO THEM B/C THE REGULATOR FAILED WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE HWY. OTHER TIMES IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WHEN I LOOKED OUT OF MY HOUSE THE REAR WINDOW WAS DOWN AGAIN. THE REGULATORS WERE JUST REPLACED ON 6-06-10 AND NOW IT IS 08-26-10. THE NEW REGULATOR DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG, HUH. AFTER ALL OF THE PROBLEMS THAT I 'VE HAD WITH THIS JEEP I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE!! I HAVE NOTICED ON DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THOUSANDS OF JEEP OWNERS. FOR SOME REASON NOBODY SEEMS TO BE ADDRESSING THIS SITUATION. WE SPEND LOTS OF MONEY ON VEHICLES AND FOR THEIR UPKEEP! THE LEAST JEEP CAN DO IS FIX THE PROBLEM OR THEY MAY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM AHEAD WHEN EVERYONE DECIDES TO STOP PURCHASING JEEPS. SINCE I HAVE ALREADY DECIDED TO DO THAT GUESS THAT'S ONE CONSUMER DOWN THE DRAIN FOR JEEP! OH, THE OTHER THING....I LIVE IN TX AND IT WAS 107 DEGREES THE OTHER DAY....WOULD YOU WANT TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR WINDOW IN THIS HEAT....RENDERS THE AC VIRTUALLY USELESS! I DON'T NEED OR WANT MY CHILDREN SITTING IN A HOT VEHICLE AND RISK POTENTIAL HEAT ASSOCIATED PROBLEMS B/C OF A CRAPPY PRODUCT! IF IT OCCURS AT HOME THEN I DUCT

02 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE AND BASED ON THE FORUMS I HAVE SEARCHED IT HAS HAPPENED TO 1000'S OF PEOPLE. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY PROBLEM AS THE WINDOW JUST COMES DOWN ON IT'S OWN WHEN THE CHEAP PLASTIC PART BREAKS INSIDE. IF A CHILD WERE NEXT TO THE WINDOW, THEY COULD UNBUCKLE SEAT AND POSSIBLY GET OUTSIDE VEHICLE. IN WHICH CASE THEY COULD BE HIT OR THE PARENT COULD BE DISTRACTED AND WRECK WHILE TRYING TO GET CHILD BACK TO SAFETY. THERE IS NO WARNING THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND ALL JEEP WOULD NEED TO DO IS REPLACE THE PART WITH A METAL PART AND NOT CHEAP PLASTIC. I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY CASES BUT WOULD IT NOT BE BETTER TO TRY AN FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WE HAVE A TRAGEDY? *TR
