2006 Jeep Liberty complaints

ALMOST EVERY I FILL MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4BY4 WITH GAS IT SPILLS OUT. *TR

1. USING THE FRONT, POWER CONTROLS, I ROLLED DOWN THE EACH OF THE 4 WINDOWS OF MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY TO 3/4. 2. MY REAR, DRIVERS WINDOW DID NOT ROLL BACK UP WITH THE REMAINDER WHEN PROMPTED FROM THE FRONT CONTROLS. MY PASSENGERS AND I HEARD A SLIGHT CLICKING A GRINDING, THEN THE WINDOW FELL TO 1/2 OPEN. AT THIS POINT, THE WINDOW WILL NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN. 3. MY GARAGE DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAILED MOTOR AND REGULATOR. SAYS HE CHANGED SEVERAL IN THE PAST MONTH. TALKS ABOUT HOW EACH OF THE JEEPS ARE MADE WITH POOR WIRING AND REGULATORS, AND HOW HE CHANGES SEVERAL, OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY, AT $500 A JOB. CHRYSLER HAS YET TO RECALL A KNOWN ISSUE THAT THE HAVE HAD IN THE PAST WITH THE SAME EQUIPMENT; THOUGH THEY HAVE RECALLED THIS EQUIPMENT FOR THE SAME ISSUES IN THE PAST. THIS CONTINUED USE OF POOR COMPONENTS SHOULD NOT BE THE CONSUMERS BURDEN TO BEAR. PLEASE URGE A RECALL ON POWER WINDOW REGULATORS AND MOTORS FOR THE 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME AND HAVE ONLY HAD THE AUTO FOR 16 MONTHS WITH LESS THAN 32,000 MILES. *TR

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THAT A WINDOW IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAS DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ADN I'VE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 1 YEAR. LAST TIME IT WAS BY BABIES REAR WINDOW THAT DROPPED ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS TIME IT IS WAS PASSENGER WINDOW THAT DROPPED ON OUR WAY TO THE PARK. I DIDN'T EVEN USE IT BECAUSE THE AC WAS ON. IT JUST DROPPED LOUDLY, EVERYONE SCREAMED, I SWERVED AND WE ALMOST HIT A SIGN! LUCKILY I GAINED CONTROL AND NOTHING HAPPENED. NOW I HAVE TO PAY $500 TO GET IT FIXED AND BE OUT OF A VEHICLE FOR ALMOST 2 DAYS. I'VE HAD ENOUGH AND I WANT CHRYSLER TO FIX THIS PROBLEM! *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY POWER WINDOWS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING DROPPING DOWN INSIDE DOORS DUE TO FAULTY WINDOW REGULATORS. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING MY 5TH ONE REPLACED AND JEEP HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE 1000'S HAVE COMPLAINED AND JEEP HAS DONE NOTHING BUT TAKE CUSTOMERS MONEY TO REPAIR A KNOWN DEFECT. JUST A SIMPLE SEARCH OF THE WEB WILL FIND THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

GAS SPILLS OUT OF TANK EVERY TIME I FILL UP. REFER TO FOLLOWING THREAD FOR DETAILS AND VIDEOS. HTTP://WWW.JEEPFORUM.COM/FORUM/F9/HAVE-FUEL-SPILL-PROBLEMS-LIKE-MANY-US-SUBMIT-COMPLAINT-FORCE-RECALL-974337/. *TR

USED VEHICLE, CARFAX SHOWS ISSUE WITH WINDOW REGULATOR TWICE BEFORE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE. WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD WITH MY WINDOW 1/2 WAY DOWN, THE WINDOW JUST WENT CRASHING INTO THE DOOR. THE WINDOW GLASS DID NOT BREAK. JEEP DOES NOT ISSUE A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE WINDOW REGULATOR SO YOU HAVE TO GO DIRECTLY TO THE DEALERSHIP TO ORDER THE PART @ $225 OR HAVE THEM REPLACE IT FOR @ $400. *TR

THE RIGHT AND LEFT REAR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE FAILED WITHIN THREE DAYS OF EACH OTHER. *TR

THE POWER WINDOWS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE A DESIGN DEFECT. THE ORIGINAL DESIGN INCLUDES A PLASTIC PART WHICH BREAKS AND ALLOWS THE WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. MY DRIVER-SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW HAS BEEN HELD UP WITH TAPE FOR THE PAST 12 MONTHS. I RECENTLY HAD TO PAY $250 TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S-SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. RESEARCHING ONLINE I HAVE SEEN INCIDENTS WHERE OWNERS HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME WINDOW REPLACED TWO OR THREE TIMES AT $300-$500 PER INCIDENT.MOPAR BODY SERVICE BULLETIN 23-008-09 AND 23-014-08 DETAIL THE ISSUE AND CHRYSLER'S CORRECTION. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ([XXX]) IF THIS IS SUBJECT TO A NHTSA SAFETY RECALL OR OF I SHOULD START A CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT TO CORRECT THIS DEFECT. THERE IS AN AFTERMARKET KIT WHICH REPLACES THE FAULTY PLASTIC PART WITH A STEEL PART AT HTTP://WWW.STEIGERPERFORMANCE.COM. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I HAVE A JEEP LIBERTY 2006, LAST YEAR THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND THEN ALMOST EXACTLY A YEAR LATER THE DRIVER WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE. I HAVE TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND REGULATOR (BECAUSE OF AN "UPGRADE" IN THE REGULATOR PART YOU HAVE TO BUY A WINDOW AS WELL). FROM LAST MARCH TO THIS MARCH THEY HAVE DOUBLED THE PRICE OF THE REGULATOR MAKING THE REPAIR EVEN MORE COSTLY TO CONSUMERS.

WINDOW REGULATORS BREAK WITH NORMAL USE. THIS HAS CREATED A FINANCIAL STRESS AND SAFETY ISSUE. MY DOORS WILL NOT OPEN. I WAS INFORMED BY A DEALERSHIP THAT DOOR OPENING MECHANISM GETS INTERFERED WITH WHEN THE REGULATOR BREAKS. THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THE WINDOWS TO STAY UP, AS I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPLACEMENT. BUT BOTH REAR DOORS WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, AND THE WINDOWS WILL NOT FUNCTION.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY 4X4. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, ALL OF THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE NEXT DAY, THE ABS AND THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED WHILE THE TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER DID NOT FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 56,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 57,000. UPDATED 05/18/10. *LJ

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY, THE FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND THE REAR DRIVERS WINDOW HAVE BOTH FALLEN WHILE DRIVING. I CURRENTLY HAVE THEM TY WRAPPED UP. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX BUT ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE DRIVER WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EGRESS IN AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE,THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FACTORY DEFECT BASED ON THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS, THIS NEEDS SOME ATTENTION!

I OWN A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY EACH ALL OF MY WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN ATLEAST ONCE IN THE LAST 3YRS. MY BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAS BROKEN TWICE AND MY FRONT PASSENGAR SIDE WINDOW HAS BROKEN TWICE. THIS CAUSES THE WINDOW TO FALL AND CANNOT BE HELD UP.

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK... WITH MY 1 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT.. THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO UP. MY HUSBAND TOOK IT APART AND WE DISCOVERED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR HAD FAILED.. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT RAINING.. AND THE WINDOW DID NOT BREAK.. I DID SOME RESEARCH TRYING TO LOCATE A PART AND YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE COMPONENT WHICH COSTS AN AVERAGE OF $145 INSTEAD OF THE PLASTIC CLIP THAT PROBABLY COSTS ABOUT $1.00. IT WAS ALSO BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN LIBERTY'S AND I WAS APPALLED THAT EVEN NEW VEHICLES WERE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS! IN MY 10 MINUTE SEARCH 20 PEOPLE REPORTED ABOUT HAVING TO REPLACE THIS PART SEVERAL TIMES IN MORE THAN ONE WINDOW! CHRYSLER SHOULD REALLY CHANGE SOMETHING SO THIS PRODUCT DOESN'T FAIL SO OFTEN IN SO MANY VEHICLES! SOME DAY SOMEONE WILL BE INJURED BECAUSE OF THIS PART MALFUNCTIONING. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT MY SON!

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED THE PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS ARE CONSTANTLY BREAKING AND THUS THE WINDOW FALLS ALL THE WAY DOWN INTO THE DOOR(S). I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH THE BROKEN WINDOW OPEN OR USE TAPE OR PLASTIC BAG TO KEEP RAIN OUT WHEN THE WEATHER IS BAD UNTIL I CAN GET TO THE DEALERSHIP. IN THE PAST 3 YEARS SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR, I HAVE HAD TO BRING IN MY CAR ON 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ALL THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENTS WERE DONE UNDER WARRANTY. EACH DOOR WINDOW, EXCEPT FOR THE DRIVER'S WINDOW HAS BROKEN TWICE AND TODAY MAKES IT THREE TIME FOR THE REAR LEFT SIDE PASSENGER WINDOW. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MY CAR IN IS JEOPARDY WHEN THE WINDOW IS FULLY DOWN AND DO NOT FEEL SAFE NOT BEING ABLE TO PUT IT UP WHEN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THIS MODEL'S WINDOWS AND REGULATORS HAVE CAUSED MANY PEOPLE THE SAME PROBLEM AND THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT ACCORDING TO THIS SITES 175 COMPLAINTS REGISTERED SO FAR FOR THIS PROBLEM. JEEP SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THESE REGULATORS FOR EVERYONE FOR FREE FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR UNLESS THEY CAN MANUFACTURE A PART THAT WILL NOT BREAK WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF INSTALLATION. THE DEALER I GO TO STATES THAT THE CAR IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT I MUST PAY A $150 "CO-PAY" TO HAVE IT FIXED AS A "GOODWILL" COST COVERING OF JEEP-CHRYSLER BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR SHODDY DESIGN AND PARTS THAT KEEP BREAKING.

THE WINDOWS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY KEEP FALLING DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THREE OF THE FOUR WINDOWS. ONE WINDOW I HAVE HAD IN THE REPAIR SHOP THREE TIMES (DEALERSHIP) TO FIX THE SAME PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BUT NOW I CAN'T OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE, WHICH TO ME SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE. MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING BACK FROM A TRIP IN THE MIDDLE OF A HEAVY RAIN STORM WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WINDOW FELL DOWN INSIDE THE DOOR. IT STARTED HAILING WHICH WAS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR OUR CHILDREN RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT. I AM JUST THANKFUL THAT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURS BECAUSE OF A BAD MOTOR INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL. THE CHEAPEST I HAVE FOUND TO FIX THIS PROBLEM IS $300 PER WINDOW. THIS IS RIDICULOUS WHEN THE PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURING!

THE WINDOW REGULATOR'S IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CONTINUOUSLY BREAK AND THE WINDOW FALLS DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS HAPPENING ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE WHEN A CHILD IS TRAVELING IN THE CAR FOR THE WINDOW TO JUST FALL INTO THE DOOR. AND CHRYSLER WILL ONLY REPLACE WITH ANOTHER PART THAT WILL DO THE SAME THING IN 6 MONTHS.

LEFT TAIL LIGHT BURNED OUT AND MELTED THE TAIL LIGHT. IT CONTINUES TO GO OUT AND IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

REAR WINDOW FELLL DOWN. WAS TOLD THE REGULATOR IS BAD. I NOW SEE THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTYS. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY.

ON 3/20/10 THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE CAR WAS PARKED WITH DOG INSIDE IN A SNOW STORM IN PARKER, CO. MY DOG JUMPED OUT AND WAS RECOVERED BY ANIMAL CONTROL. SEVERAL ITEMS IN MY JEEP WERE COVERED IN SNOW/ICE INCLUDING PAPERWORK AND OFFICIAL FORMS FOR FOR MY WORK THAT HAS SINCE BEEN RUINED DUE TO WATER DAMAGE. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME I HAVE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WITH WINDOW REGULATORS IN THIS SAME VEHICLE. IN AUGUST OF 2009, THE REAR DIRVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAD TO BE REPLACED. AT THIS TIME CHRYSLER TOLD ME THAT DEFECTIVE PARTS WERE BEING USED IN LIBERTYS BUT THERE IS NO RECALL AND THE REPLACEMENT OPTION WAS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GLASS AND REGULATOR. IN DECEMBER OF 2009, THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BEGAN ROLLING UP CROOKED AND WAS REPLACED. THE PASSENGER WINDOW IS YET TO BE REPLACED AS I AM WAITING ON A RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER THE $500.00 REPAIR COST SINCE THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM. *DT

I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY THAT SPEWS GAS AS IT GETS FULL. IT HAS SHOT OUT AS MUCH AS 3-4 CUPS WORTH AT ITS WORST. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME IT IS A HUGE SAFETY PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF GAS THAT IS SPILLED EACH TIME.I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A FAULTY VENTING MECHANISM IN THE GAS TANK AND SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE ON JEEPS AND DODGES. I MADE MENTION OF IT AT THE DEALERSHIP EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED INTO IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT MUST BE THE GAS PUMP I AM USING. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN AT GAS STATIONS IN 8 STATES NOW. I AM SURE IT IS NOT THE GAS PUMPS. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, I AM TOLD THAT THEY COULD REPLACE THE GAS TANK AT MY EXPENSE. SINCE THE VEHICLE IS SO NEW AND ONLY HAS 40,000 MILES ON IT THAT THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THOUGH. *TR *DT

MY TEEN DAUGHTER, AFTER SAVING FOR YEARS, JUST BOUGHT A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW TOTALLY DROPPED. AFTER SEARCHING, THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. NOT ONLY IS THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE, IT IS APPARENT THAT CHRYSLER CORP DOES NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. IT IS A SHAM THAT CONSUMER RELATIONS IN THE UNITED STATES IS DECLINING. PLEASE ADDRESS AND GIVE THE NEXT GENERATION A LITTLE HELP!!!!!! REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON 295 IN BALTIMORE, MD DURING RUSH HOUR WHEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW STARTED TO FALL. THIS IS THE 6TH TIME I HAVE HAD A REGULATOR PROBLEM, SECOND TIME FOR THIS WINDOW. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY BECAUSE IT CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SURE ENOUGH ITS THE REGULATOR EXCEPT THIS TIME THEY AREN'T JUST REPLACING THE REGULATOR BUT THE GLASS TOO. I REALLY WANTED ANOTHER JEEP BUT SINCE I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT ISN'T GOING TO HAPPEN. JEEP NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL, EVERYONE IN THE DEALERSHIP SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM. IF THEY KNOW IT IS A PROBLEM; THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM IT. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING. IT ALSO REDUCES YOUR VISIBILITY WHEN YOU HAVE TO DUCT TAPE YOUR WINDOW SHUT. *TR

POWER WINDOWS OF JEEP LIBERTY 2006 4X4 FAILED A SECOND TIME. AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY I REALIZED THAT REAR WINDOW ON PASSENGER SIDE SLID DOWN INTO DOOR AND COULD NOT BE PUSHED UP AGAIN. THIS HAD HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME IN JULY 2008 AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WINDOW REGULATOR WAS REPLACED. THE FAILING OF THE POWER WINDOWS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR CAN NOT SAFELY LEFT ALONE CLOSED BECAUSE THE WINDOW ALWAYS WILL SLIDE DOWN WITHOUT WARNING-> RAIN DAMAGE, THEFT. LOAD CAN GET DAMAGED OR FALL OUT OF THE CAR, KIDS OR PETS CAN GET HURT. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE WHOLE WINDOW ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE EXCHANGED ($750) ALTHOUGH THE WINDOW IS NOT DAMAGED. THIS FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATORS IS COMMON ON 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. JEEP HAS TO DO A RECALL AND PROVIDE RELIABLE AND SAFE POWER WINDOWS ON LIBERTY 2006 AND OLDER MODELS. *TR

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF THE WINDOW REGULATOR. SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING THE WINDOW WILL DROP INSIDE THE DOOR AND IT CANNOT BE OPENED WITH THE WINDOW CONTROLS. THE WINDOW REGULATOR MUST BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH IN COLD TEMPERATURES, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE POWER WINDOWS BUT HEARD AN UNUSUAL SNAP WHEN DOING SO. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW THEN BEGAN DROPPING AT AN UNUSUAL ANGLE. THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS TO THE WINDOW ACCORDINGLY. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BEGAN TO EXHIBIT THE SAME FAILURE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 71,000. UPDATED 5/3/10 *CN THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW WAS STUCK AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR. UPDATED 06/28/10*JB

I ROLLED DOWN THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW. WHEN TRYING TO GET THE WINDOW UP THE WINDOW FELL INSIDE THE DOOR. WHILE THIS CAUSED NO IMMEDIATE DANGER BECAUSE WE WERE NOT MOVING. THIS COULD BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR MY CHILDREN WHO ARE USUALLY RIDING IN THE REAR SEAT. *TR

UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION 2006 JEEP LIBERTY CRD. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, ENGINE IDLING, FOOT ON THE BRAKE, MY ENGINE STARTED TO WILDLY ACCELERATE. I HELD THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE REAR WHEELS STARTED SPINNING AND BURNING RUNNER AND THE ENTIRE CAR WAS 'JUMPING'. AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF THIS I PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. WHEN I RESTARTED IT MOMENTS LATER IT WAS FINE. I BROUGHT IT TO MY JEEP DEALER IN MT KISCO NY BUT THEY COULDN'T IND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HASN'T DONE IT AGAIN. THERE WAS NOTHING JAMMING THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR WAS AT A STOP AND IDLING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STARTED RACING ON IT'S OWN. *TR

THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAIL ON RECURRING BASIS. THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED TWICE AND THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED RECENTLY. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS RECOGNIZED THIS AS A COMMON FAILURE ITEM BUT CHARGES APPROX $600 PER REPAIR BECAUSE MY JEEP IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALERS STATED THE REGULATOR PIECE FAILING ON RECURRING BASIS IS MADE OF PLASTIC. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE LEFT REAR WINDOW MOTOR ASSEMBLY REGULATOR FAILED AND WAS REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES BY THE OWNER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS VERIFIED THAT THE REGULATOR MOTOR DRIVE ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND REPAIRS WOULD BE MADE AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT WOULD NOT ASSUME LIABILITY FOR THE REPAIRS DUE TO THE VEHICLE BEING OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW WENT OUT ON ME THIS MORNING. THE WINDOW MOTOR IS FINE, BUT THE LINKAGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE WINDOW IS BROKEN. THIS CANNOT BE FIXED BY SIMPLE SMALL PART, THE MOPAR IS RIPPING OFF THE PUBLIC BY REQUIRING THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY. THE ENTIRE DESIGN NEEDS TO BE OVERHAULED, BECAUSE IT IS A SIMPLE FIX THAT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE THE ENTIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE SYSTEM. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY, REAR WINDOW MOUNTING TAG CAUSED REGULATOR TO FAIL. WINDOW DROPPED AND WOULD NO LONGER WORK, LEAVING CHILD SAFETY WINDOW LOCK INOPERABLE. JEEP HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS HOWEVER HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL, CAN COST UP TO 500.00 TO FIX. COULD HAVE CAUSED A ACCIDENT IF DROPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND BECAME DISTRACTED. *TR

VEHICLE: 2006 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE ISSUE: ALL 4 DOORS HAVE NEEDED THE WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED, ONE THEM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. ANOTHER ONE BROKE TOWARDS THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT THE DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN DECEMBER OF 2006, SO IT HAS BEEN THROUGH 3 YEARS OF CONTINUOUS USE AND HAS RECEIVED 5 NEW WINDOW REGULATORS. IT NEEDS A 6TH NEW REGULATOR BUT THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND THE REGULATOR, WITHOUT ANY BACK-UP DATA THAT SUGGESTS THIS WILL END THE PROBLEM. DURING THE LAST INCIDENT, I HEARD A LOUD POPPING SOUND COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE, WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40 MPH, BUT DID NOT NOTICE ANY IMMEDIATE ISSUES. THE DOORS WERE BRIEFLY INSPECTED FOR ANY DAMAGE AND LOOKED FINE. AFTER COMING OUT OF THE MOVIE THEATRE, ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER, THE WINDOW HAD FALLEN COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR. TO DATE THE PART HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED DUE TO A LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE RESOLUTION AND DUE TO THE EXORBITANT COST. AFTER INSPECTING THE ASSEMBLY, IT APPEARS THAT THE PLASTIC COMPONENT, WHICH MOVES ALONG THE RAILING, IS NOT ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY CAPTURE AND MAINTAIN A CONNECTION WITH THE CABLE THAT ENABLES THE WINDOW THE GO UP AND DOWN. ONCE THE TWO PIECES SEPARATE THERE IS NO WAY TO RECONNECT THEM. *TR

POWER WINDOW PARTS FAILURES ON 2006 (AND OTHER) JEEP LIBERTY. WINDOWS WILL "FALL" INTO THE DOOR WITH LITTLE NO WARNING. HAVE HAD TWO FAIL IN LAST 8 MONTHS. LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. ONE FAILED WHILE VEHICLE IS SITTING STILL, NOT RUNNING. HAVE SEEN OVER 150 EXACT COMPLAINTS ON EDMUNDS.COM AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. FAILURE APPARENTLY DUE TO PLASTIC PARTS FATIGUE, REPAIR COSTS APPROXIMATELY 400 PER OCCURRENCE. *TR

I OWN A JEEP LIBERTY 2006 AND HAVE CONTINUING ISSUES WITH WINDOW REGULATOR FAILURES CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO DROP INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE ALL 4 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I AM NOW STARTING MY SECOND ROUND OF REPLACEMENTS. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER IS REPLACING DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE PART. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED AN INTERNAL BULLETIN BUT HAS NOT BEEN COOPERATIVE OR CONSISTENT WITH RESOLVING CUSTOMERS CONTINUED COMPLAINTS. SO FAR I AM DEALING WITH WINDOW REGULATOR REPAIRS AT LEAST 2 TO 3 TIMES PER YEAR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY LIBERTY BRAND NEW. SINCE I HAVE HAD IT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IN ALL OF MY WINDOWS. THE BACK WINDOWS ARE THE WORST. THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW HAS BEEN REPLACED 5-7 TIMES AND THE PASSENGER'S SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED 4-6 TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE WINDOW STARTS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THE DEALER CHARGES TO FIX IT AND REPLACES IT WITH THE SAME FAULTY PART. I HAVE PAID OVER $1500 FOR A PROBLEM THAT KEEPS OCCURRING. I LIVE IN ARIZONA AND THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT BUT THEN ONE OF THE SERVICE ADVISORS TOLD ME THAT IT'S THE PART THAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEMS. JEEP SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY BACK SEAT ON A REGULAR BASIS. DEBRIS FROM THE ROAD COULD FLY THROUGH THE WINDOW AND HIT THEM. IF SOMEONE LEANS ON THE WINDOW WHEN IT'S TAPED UP IT COULD EASILY FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR RESULTING IN AN INJURY. THANKFULLY, I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE INJURED TO DATE, HOWEVER, IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR

BEGINNING ON FEBRUARY 22, THE FIRST OF THREE (3) WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED IN THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST WAS THE DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW, SECOND WAS THE DRIVER'S DOOR WINDOW (6 DAYS LATER) AND THE THIRD WAS THE RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW WHICH FAILED YESTERDAY (3/4/10). THE REAR WINDOWS HAVE SELDOM BEEN OPEN SINCE PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2006. TWO OF THE WINDOWS SLID/DROPPED OPEN COMPLETELY WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERWAY WHILE THE THIRD DROPPED OPEN UPON CLOSING THE RIGHT REAR DOOR. *TR

2006 JEEP LIBERTY-WHILE DRIVING BACK WINDOW MAKES A POPPING SOUND THAN FALLS DOWN. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW MAKES A POPPING SOUND AND FALLS DOWN--THE UNEXPECTED NOISE AND RUSH OF COLD WINTER AIR CAUSED ME TO SWERVE INTO A DITCH. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE AND AN EXPENSE!! *TR

JUST BOUGHT THE JEEP AND ON THE WAY HOME THE BACK GLASS FELL DOWN. DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS ALMOST RUN OFF THE ROAD TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I TOOK IT BACK THE NEXT MORNING AND THEY KNEW RIGHT AWAY IT WAS A WINDOW REGULATOR. HAD TO WAIT TILL MONDAY MORNING TO TAKE IT BACK IN AND WAS 3 DAYS IN GETTING IT BACK. FOUND OUT MINE WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH FAULTY WINDOWS BY TALKING TO THE CUSTOMERS IN THERE FOR THE SAME REASON. NEEDLESS TO SAY I NOW RIDE AROUND WITH DUCK TAPE AND PLASTIC AND AM WAITING FOR THE NEXT ONE TO GO. LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE REGULATORS AND THEY NEED TO BE FIXED NOW BEFORE SOMEONE WRECKS AND KILLS THEMSELVES WITH THESE THINGS FALLING DOWN. I TRADED IN MY TOYOTA IN FEAR OF A STICKING GAS PEDDLE AND NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE IN FEAR OF MY WINDOWS FALLING DOWN. I AM ONLY ASKING FOR A SIMPLE RECALL TO A SIMPLE FIX FOR ALL OF THE JEEP OWNERS WHO DRIVE AROUND WITH DUCK TAPE UP TO THE WINDOWS. IT IS GIVING JEEP A BAD REPUTATION AND HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY THEY WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER JEEP BECAUSE OF THIS. DON'T LET JEEP BE IN THE HOT SEAT WITH SHAME ON YOU JEEP WHEN A DEATH OCCURS BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. SECOND TIME IT HAS BEEN REPLACED. *TR

LEFT BACK WINDOW REGULAR BROKE AND WINDOW HAS FALLEN. UNABLE TO ROLL UP WINDOW DURING A SAND STORM RESULTING IN CHILD BREATHING IN SAND UNTIL WE COULD SEEK SHELTER AND INTERIOR OF VEHICLE BEING COVERED IN SAND. THIS IS THE FOURTH WINDOW REGULAR THAT I AM HAVING TO REPLACE IN THIS VEHICLE. FILING A COMPLAINT AT DEALERSHIP REQUEST. THEY STATED THE WINDOWS WERE POORLY DESIGNED AND THE LATE 2006 MODELS THE WINDOWS ARE REPLACED WITH A REDESIGNED WINDOW AT THE OWNERS EXPENSE. *TR

FRONT DRIVERS WINDOW AND FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW STALL WHEN GOING UP AND DOWN. HAD TO HAVE REGULATOR REPLACED. *TR

IN THE LAST FOUR YEARS OF OWNERSHIP OF A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT THE REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE SUDDENLY JUST FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL A TOTAL OF FIVE TIMES. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHILE DRIVING AND THREE TIMES BETWEEN USES OF THE VEHICLE. WHEN IT HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A POPPING NOISE AND A THUMP WHEN THE WINDOW GOES DOWN. WHEN DRIVING THIS CAUSES AN IMMEDIATE DISTRACTION TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS WHICH HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IS ALWAYS A CONCERN FOR FUTURE OCCURRENCE. ALSO OF CONCERN IS THAT MY RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS SAME ISSUE. I HAVE INCLUDED ALL THE SITES ON THIS INCIDENT THAT I HAVE SO FAR FOUND.

DRIVING TO WORK, BACK PASSENGER WINDOW BEGINS TO SLIDE DOWN ON IT'S OWN - COMPLETELY DOWN BY THE TIME I GET TO WORK - POWER CONTROL RUNS BUT NOT MOVING THE WINDOW UP AND DOWN. CALLED DEALERSHIP - $500 TO FIX. RESEARCHED ON WEB - BOUGHT A REPAIR KIT FOR $90 AND SPENT AN HOUR DOING IT MYSELF. ALL I HAD TO REPLACE WAS A $3 PLASTIC PIECE. $500? EXTORTION, ANYONE? THIS DEFECT (CHECK THE WEB - TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN - ONLY SOMETIMES THEIR WINDOWS HAVE JUST DROPPED DOWN SUDDENLY) IS WELL KNOWN TO JEEP - THEY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2006. BOUGHT NEW. TO DATE 6 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED. 2 OF THEM OBVIOUSLY FOR A SECOND TIME AFTER REPAIR BY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA WERE THERE IS NO CHANCE OF THE WINDOWS BECOMING STUCK WITH ICE BUILDUP BETWEEN THE WEATHER STRIPING & THE GLASS. THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF. INCREDIBLE THAT A LARGE CORPORATION IS UNABLE TO DESIGN A POWERED WINDOW SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN AROUND FOR 50 YEARS. DURING SEVERE WEATHER, RAIN STORMS, BLOWING SNOW OR SEVERE COLD, THIS CAN BECOME A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS FAILURE IS PROLIFIC ON ALL JEEP LIBERTY'S BUILT FROM I BELIEVE 2003 TO 2007. MY JEEP HAS HAD FAILURES THAT AT THE RETAIL LEVEL WOULD COST OVER $2000.00 APPROX $300 - $400 PER WINDOW. ITS ONLY JUST OVER 3 YEARS OLD. I AM NOW AFRAID TO OPEN & CLOSE THE WINDOWS. I HAVE SECURED THE LAST FAILURE IN THE UP POSITION USING A CABLE TIE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. THE WINDOW REGULATORS FAILED WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH WHEN THE GLASS FELL INTO THE FRAME. THE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW AND RIGHT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS WERE REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2009. SHE IS ALSO EXPERIENCING FAILURE WITH THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER, REAR LEFT AND RIGHT WINDOWS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS ARE DEFECTIVE AND WHEN THEY ARE REPLACED THERE IS NO GUARANTEED THAT IT WILL NOT FAIL AGAIN. REPORT 19324618 WAS FILED WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY TOLD HER TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THEY ALSO STATED THAT SHE MIGHT RECEIVE A GOODWILL ALLOWANCE TO HELP WITH THE REPAIR. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,700.

ALL WINDOWS FALLING OUT OF JEEP LIBERTY 2006>2007 DUE TO CHEAP PLASTIC CONNECTOR. ALL WINDOWS AND REGULATORS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. JEEP HAS PUBLISHED A BULLETIN TO THEIR DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. COST APPROX $2,000 PER VEHICLE IN PARTS AND LABOR. YOU CAN REALLY SEE THE SCOPE OF THIS PROBLEM ON EDMUNDS.COM JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW PROBLEMS. I PERSONALLY KNOW AND COMMUNICATE WITH 60 PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD ALL THEIR WINDOWS FALL OUT, SOME TWO >>THREE TIMES.*TR

CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO IGNORE A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP LIBERTY. CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR POWER WINDOW REGULATORS THAT BASICALLY LET THE WINDOW FALL OUT INTO THE STREET OR INSIDE THE CAR ON TOP OF SLEEPING BABIES AND OTHER PASSENGERS, OR DOWN IN THE DOOR, OR GET STUCK UP OR DOWN. I HAVE A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY AND HAVE HAD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ON MY CAR 3 TIMES ONCE AT 10,000 MILES, ONCE AT 50,000 MILES AND NOW AT 70,000 MILES. THE LAST TWO TIMES I PAID $350. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM HAVING SENT REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS TO DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS FOR A TEMPORARY FIX THAT THEY ARE USING AS A FRAUDULENT MONEY MAKING VENTURE, 'A BUILT IN REPAIR PROBLEM.' CHRYSLERS ARROGANCE IS UNPARALLELED, WE NEED YOUR HELP! *TR

THIS IS AN INCIDENT - WHEN FUELING THE GAS TANK WITH THE NOZZLE INSIDE THE GAS TANK OPENING, THE FUEL GUSHES OUT OF THE OPENING AFTER THE TANK IS FULL, SPILLING GAS ON THE VEHICLE AND ON THE GROUND. THIS IS NOT AT ONE GAS PUMP, IT HAPPENS AT ANY GAS STATION I GO TO. THIS RESULTS IN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD AND DAMAGE TO THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE. EACH GAS PUMP HAS AN AUTOMATIC VACUUM SHUT OFF WHEN THE GAS REACHES THE NOZZLE AND IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF THE SUPPLY OF GAS. FOR SOME REASON, THE JEEP LIBERTY GUSHES OUT GAS ALL OVER THE PLACE EVERY TIME I FUEL IT. THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING EVENT AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I HAVE NOT REPORTED IT IS BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS REPORTING MECHANISM WAS AVAILABLE AND I WAS ONLY PUTTING IN A LIMITED AMOUNT OF GAS TO PREVENT THE GUSHING FROM HAPPENING. IS THIS PECULIAR TO JUST MY VEHICLE OR HAVE OTHERS HAD THIS EXPERIENCE AS WELL??? *TR
