Problems with 2006 Jeep Liberty VISIBILITY

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the window regulators for both rear windows have failed. the contact stated this was the first time the failure occurred on the rear passenger side of the vehicle, but this was the fourth time that it failed on the rear drivers side. the dealer stated that the failure was normal. the failure mileage was 27000. the current mileage was 46864.

What a joke, i traded in my foreign car (which with 150,000 miles, i dumped probably a $1000 in total for repairs) for an american vehicle. my back window fell down and looking at a $500 bill to repair it, i took silicone window sealer and sealed the window shut. needless to say, my next vehicle will be one that has a 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty like my last one did. i can't believe with all of the reports of window failures the manufacturer will not stand by their vehicle. they continually manufacture vehicles with obvious defects, but with 32,000 miles on the vehicle hit you up for $500 a "repair" bill. this is not a repair, it is extortion to fix something that was and continues to be a defect in workmanship and materials, as well as poor design. it irks me when american car makers whine and get bail-out money because their product is defective and "not the same workmanship" as a foreign vehicle. *tr

2006 jeep liberty, the motor for my windows are always breaking i have had to get them fixed 6 times now since i bought it in 2007 the fact that i have to drive an hour to the dealership every time and spend $106 to get them repaired not including the gas i have to spend on getting to this place is just pathetic. i have come across many people with the same complaint and im absolutely tired of going through the same thing not everyone has the time or money to be going through this and from what im getting jeep is not take responsibility in this ! *tr

'06 jeep liberty has window motor failure in all 4 windows. 2 window motors were replaced at dealership and have since also failed. dealership will not assist in repairs due to mileage over factory warranty limitations and replacement motors are warranted for 1 year. *all 4 window motors have failed, some multiple times. i have also experienced multiple electronic failures. dealership personnel stated to me that they have recognized constant complaints similar to mine, however they are unable to assist with problems. *tr

In july of last year (2006), i leased a 2006 jeep liberty. approximately 2 months later, one of my windows slipped down. i took it in for repairs. since then (16 months later), i have been in the repair shop for this exact reason 5 more times. my parents have the exact same vehicle, same year, and they are on their 6th window as well. after talking to the repair shops we both go to, we have found that this is a common occurrence. jeep has been contacted by us and by others. they are well aware of the problem. i believe that this is a safety issue on so many levels because the vehicle is vulnerable if the window is not up. *tr

On wednesday, september 5, 2007, at approximately 8:30pm both my husband and i got in our 2006 jeep liberty with only 9,188 miles to drive home. upon turning on the vehicle we turned up the air conditioner and heard a grinding sound. unsure of what the noise was, my husband turned down the air for a moment. as he turned the air back up the blower fan fell out of the dashboard and into the foot area of the passenger front seat where i was sitting. the blower fan was still turning as it made contact with my feet because it did not detach from the electrical wiring. the blower fan continued running until my husband shut off the vehicle. due to the fact that i was wearing sandals when the blower fan fell out of the dashboard my toes were severely lacerated and suffered abrasions. these injuries required me to seek medical attention. due to this injury i have had to miss work, as it is not possible for me to wear shoes, stand for any length of time, or sit without elevating my feet. this incident along with other multiple faulty window components, all of which are warranty items, cause us concern. particularly since the blower fan was a recalled part and had recently been replaced. we no longer feel that this vehicle is safe to operate and have contacted chrysler headquarters customer service call center for assistance and are awaiting an inspection. *tr

' ( i questioned why, as this was an obvious defect on the manufacturer) he responded 'that is what the charge is, just be glad that this has not happened to all of your windows, this is a common problem with the 2002- current jeep liberty. jeep is aware of the problem, but they are not going to issue a recall, nor are they going to do anything about it.' (i was shocked that i would be told this) 'if you don't like this well, call chrysler yourself, here is the number 1-800-992-1997.' after i hung up the phone with him, i called the original dealership in florida to get the exact dates of the repairs. right rear- 1/28/08 left rear- 12/20/2006, 7/8/2008, and 8/13/09. i did call chrysler and spoke to someone, received a case number, and was told that someone would contact me in 24-48 hours with some sort of resolve to this. (that was thursday morning.) i received a call from the case manager at chrysler friday around 9:50am. there was a message left to call back, or i could wait for them to call me back on monday. called back,spoke 2 gretchen: sai the case manager had put notes in the case with the following: i had to pay the $100 up front and i could submit all the documents to be reimbursedasked to speak to the case manager and was transferred to matt (whom i thought was the case manager). *tr

My 2006 jeep liberty started experiencing power window problems around nov 06. all 4 power windows would not roll down or they would roll down part of the way then get stuck and wouldn't roll back up. it was a safety concern when they were stuck open. it was also an issue in drive-through situations and other typical scenarios where you would roll down a window. a local chrysler service dept repaired it repeatedly from 2006 until they closed in early 2009, then another chrysler service department made the last repair in july 2009. repairs ranged from re-wiring the windows to completely replacing the internal electronic system. *tr

This problem with the window regulators has been an ongoing problem since we bought this car new. the dates of repair are as follow from newest to oldest, 10/10/11,10/22/10,9/30/10,8/10/09,3/13/08,12/11/07,4/10/07,4/5/07,3/16/07,1/24/07,11/07/06,11/03/06. we have taken this car to the dealer this many times for the same problem. we have never paid a penny for the repairs. the manufacturer is now asking us to pay 100$ saying is a warranty issue. the problem is that they know they have a defective part but cannot fix it. they have recalled on some models of this car. ours is not included in this recall. this trip for us to take this car in for the initial check is 230 miles then we have to wait for the authorization of repairs to take it back is another 230 miles. it is not reasonable for us to pay for the manufacturers faulty parts. we are out of pocket 12 times for the time and gas to go over there. this window regulator is defective and when it snaps the window rod breaks jams the door locking mechanism the door then will not stay closed or it will not open. we are also filing claims with the consumer affairs and national transportation safety board. *tr

Window mechanism failed while driving and window came open unexpectedly. all windows have failed multiple times since purchasing the vehicle new. each time, jeep replaces the mechanism with the same faulty parts. this is a safety hazard, because windows falling open while driving is a shock to the driver and causes a distraction, especially in bad weather. it also prevents parking the vehicle safely, because the vehicle is not secure. *js
