Problems with 2006 Jeep Liberty VISIBILITY

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. *tr

Three of the four windows have had the regulators break - the first one repaired under warranty, the second the dealership charged me (even though i had a warranty in effect) and the third window is currently being held in place by gorilla tape (the view out the passenger front window is fortunately not obscured). this window started falling in when we hit a bump driving down i-95 at highway speeds. given the huge number of issues with this model year with the window regulators, it seems inevitable that the window of the final window will give way at some unknown point in the future. why jeep has not addressed this is inexcusable. *tr

2006 jeep liberty window regulator failure. *tr

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. *tr

My vehicle, a 2006 jeep liberty, has a recurring problem with window regulators failing. it has happened to me twice. the windows fall down into the doors creating a major safety hazard. the falling window startled me and it happened during a downpour, creating a major driving distraction. there are thousands of complaints about this problem on the internet, but chrysler has not issued a recall. they should do so immediately. *tr

2006 jeep liberty sport rear window regulator failed. poor design no help from chrysler or jeep dealer total cost on me. *tr

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. *tr

This is my second complaint concerning the rear windows of my 2006 jeep liberty. after reading all the complaints filed concerning this model of vehicle and the number of "repeat" failures, i just got done sealing the other back door window shut with silicone sealant. it is pretty bad when you owe the bank $11,000 for a vehicle and you have to constantly put money into it because of a defective part the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge. *tr

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. *tr

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! *tr

I was driving down the road with my son in the car. all of a sudden the rear passenger window went down. it was chilly, so i ask my son to put the window up and he said i didn't put it down. i tried to roll it up (power window) and heard a grinding noise, but the window would not go up. it apparently just fell down into the door and now i can not get it up. i went on -line to see if i could find a fix and ended up finding a huge amount of people with the exact same problem. i called the dealership this morning and they said i could bring it in and diagnostic is $120.00. are you kidding me???? so i taped a plastic bag over the window for now, but i did not realize how much i used my rear passenger window for driving, until it was no longer usable. this is absolutely unacceptable that this many people have had this problem and nothing has been done by the dealership or chrysler. *tr

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. *tr

Window regulator has broke and window will not stay up. *tr

1. operating normally 2. power window failure. occurs every 20k miles of normal use. failure due to a broken plastic bracket that attaches the window to the regulator wire coil. when failure occurs, window may slip down resulting in possible weather damage and security risks. 3. the factory fix is costly and doesn't replace the plastic bracket. the permanent fix is to replace that bracket with a metal one for about $90 + 1 hrs labor per window. *tr

I have a 2006 jeep liberty that i purchased 6 mos ago with 25,000 miles. the back passenger window has stopped working. still researching repair estimates. *tr

I own a 2006 jeep liberty and this morning i was rolling down the window when i heard a pop and was unable to return the rear left passenger window to the closed position. i searched about this problem and found that this is becoming a common problem among 2006 jeep liberties. a forum suggested that i report it. i had not experienced any problems before this incident. *tr

It is common that 2006 jeep liberty window regulators fail frequently. i have had all 4 of my windows fail; two of the windows have failed a second time following dealer repair. although the rear windows are rarely used, both have fallen completely into the door while i was driving. this is clearly a dangerously flawed design that should be corrected by jeep/chrysler. *tr

I am writing to give a complaint about the 2006 jeep liberty. on numerous occasions throughout purchasing the vehicle, we have had to have the power window regulator and glass replaced. the glass falls into the door and will not roll up. the first time, and even second, i was able to take it in stride and accept it, paying the large sum to get it fixed. however, as this continues to happen on at least 4 other occasions - two of which happened within five days of each other in mid september 2010 - i am quite discouraged. i now have one window still down - passenger front - and it is currently taped up. however, in florida weather, it frequently melts and falls down. this leaves my car window down and exposed in public while i am at work - which could lead to many dangers. i am sick of taking my car in every few months because jeep cannot simply fix this problem. i paid a price for my car, and could easily have bought another car by now with the money i have spent on fixing the windows in this car - around 350 to 500 a pop for each time. this is ridiculous and jeep should be held accountable for the default. *tr

2006 jeep liberty passenger side rear window falls on its own and will not come back up. *tr

Window regulator failed on driver side rear window in 2007. regulator was replaced and covered by factory warranty. window regulator failed on passenger rear window in 2010, not covered by factory warranty. by 2010, the window regulator had an updated design that required a new window to be purchased in addition to the regulator, as the old window would not fit properly with the new regulator. *tr

Faulty window regulators in jeep liberty. window falls without warring. windows do not have to be in use at the time they fall. repair is $400. dealership advised this is a common recurring problem, and may continue to happen after repair. *tr

I was driving home in my 2006 jeep liberty, when the back passenger side power window fell again! this is the second time this week that one of the power windows fall. i have had this window and two other windows serviced for this very problem before and it and chrysler continues to be unable to fix it! when it fell, it was raining, and i had to hurry to get home because it was raining inside of the jeep. i should not have to keep a garbage bag in my vehicle just in case my window falls. this seems to happen to at least two windows every three or four months for us. when we bring it to the service department, it seems to work fine for a while until sooner or later it falls again. they tell us that a plastic clip holds the window up, and the window falls when the clip gives out. it seems like this plastic clip must be pretty weak to go out as often as this! we don't even put the window up or down at all. the service department says that the part can go out whether the window is in use or not because of the tension it holds. when asked about any recalls on this part, their response was that recalls are only issued when a safety violation can occur. it is a safety violation to me! when the windows fall, and my children are in the car and it is storming outside that certainly affects my driving because i am concerned for the safety of my kids! i wonder what damage would be caused if the window falls and shatters inside the door? how would chrysler respond to that? chrysler seems to take this as no big deal, but i believe that someone can get seriously injured because of this defect. can we please get something done about this before something does happen to someone? *tr

Within the last year all four windows on my 2006 jeep liberty have failed, one of them for the second time since i have owned the car. the first window failed september of 2009. i had my window partly down and when i went to roll it up it made a terrible noise and the glass fell into the door. i paid to have it repaired which cost me $600. in august of 2010 the back two windows began to fall into the door on their own, i had not tried to roll them down, as i was driving. this happened within a week of each other. when i took it to the dealer they suggested i call jeep to request help. jeep agreed to repair both of these windows for me. within one week of the repair the front passenger side window fell into the door as i came to a stop in a parking lot. i am currently waiting to hear from jeep about the repair of this window. i cannot believe that this happened to my car five times in total, (the first window went out about three years ago.) *tr

I have a 2006 jeep liberty. the windows have broken three times. they fall into the door and cannot be raised. when this happens, the window is stuck in the full down position and is a great risk as objects can fly into the car...and great risks when parking overnight and the window not being able to be raised. this the third window broken, with one broken twice. the windows get fixed at a dealership at a cost of $100 per window and require me to miss a half to a full day of work depending on the service repair volume. *tr

On my 06 jeep liberty my 2 back rear windows have failed. the one i caught before it went down into the door, jammed some cardboard on the sides to keep it up. however, here in sw florida during the summer we have a "rainy" season for 6 months. needless to say driving down the road one of these bands of rain starts pouring and now here goes the other rear window down "inside" the door this time. will not come up! if this is not a safety recall i don't know what is. let's just say trying to keep the car on the road, in the correct lane all while trying to find someplace to pull off the road until the rain stops. of course, now the seats are soaking wet, and we liberty owners know what comes next...........because the seats get wet all this nasty white stain is on them and must be brought in to get cleaned. douglas jeep (venice, fl) did take care of both windows within 4 days, i do feel it is jeep's responsibility and i should not have been charged period ($192) douglas jeep has always been very concerned with this problem and i appreciate them getting me in as soon as they did. i might add that these two windows failed within 2 weeks of each other. *tr

Window regulators for jeep liberty. *tr

My windows are falling into the well of my 2006 jeep liberty doors for no reason at all. dealers are not openly offering to replace with updated parts. i was told that the cost would be up to $500 per window and offering to have chrysler make good of the defect. i was told the window regulators were defected and that chrysler was aware of the problem. if you know there is a problem, just have the dealer replace and file with chrysler to make this a "good service policy". *tr

I bought my 2006 jeep liberty in 2007 (february) with about 15,000 miles on it. the warranty was still good for a little longer at that time. in that time at 2 of regulators on two different windows had to be replaced. since that time 2 more have been replaced out of my own pocket. now here in september 2010 the back driver side window is doing it again. the window will fall down out of place when rolled up and when you try to roll it up the motor will grind and the window will not go anywhere. this needs to be taken care of; people are out hundreds of dollars for this issue. *tr

Back window fell and switch will not bring it back up. this is my second window problem. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the windows opened violently without being engaged. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 67,000.

The rear left window stopped working, and now slides down into the door on its own. this seems to be a very common problem on jeeps. at this point in time, anyone can walk up to my jeep an simply push the rear window down from the outside. luckily, i was alone in my car when the window stopped working and slid down on its own. *tr

2006 jeep liberty. just had a third window fall into the door of my vehicle. i have already replaced two, costing me $200 a piece with an extended warranty. my car was left exposed to elements all night and luckily was not broken into. the window motors fail for no apparent reason. the new mechanism requires a whole new window. jeep knows about this problem, there are tons of posts on the internet where the same thing has happened to other people. jeep is ripping off it's customers, it should pay for the replacement of the windows. what if it falls down while i am driving down the interstate in the rain with my two kids in the back? it's shameful. *tr

2006 jeep liberty sport 4 x 4 window regulator failure: about to leave for work and found a rear window down on my jeep. when i tried to use the button to raise it a loud grinding noise occurred and the window would not go up. chrysler dealership charged me $442.73 to replace the regulator with, what the representative said, was the new type that chrysler uses now. rep also said i had to buy a new window glass because the new regulator was not guaranteed to work with the old glass. the new glass is not tinted to match the other car windows. there are thousands of complaints posted online, from jeep liberty owners, who have had the same problem repeatedly. there is an online petition to chrysler to recall these vehicles and absorb the expense of having these faulty regulators replaced. there is a class action suit against volks wagen for this same problem. not knowing when one of your car windows will drop is a safety hazard. there is a potential for broken glass, a dangerous driving distraction, and i was not secure in my car, though having all doors locked, my window would not go up. this leaves the car open to easy theft. since chrysler is using a "new" window regulator, that doesn't fit the old glass, it must know of the widespread problem of their faulty original regulators. in the thousands of posted consumer complaints, regarding this problem, it shows the problem has been going on for years. customers are paying hundreds of dollars for replacement costs. *tr

The regulators on the power windows on my 2006 jeep liberty break repeatedly. i just dropped my car off at my local auto repair to fix the rear passenger and the front driver windows. these have both been fixed before. these are incidents 6 and 7. *tr

Vehicle parked in lot - not moving at all - driver side rear window dropped in door. unable to lift with power window button. this is the seventh window regulator to fail on this vehicle - fourth one for this particular door. dealer diagnosed as failed regulator and indicated that manufacturer fix for this problem is replacement of regulator part and window glass - $575. *tr

I, like most others owning a 2006 jeep liberty have had several problems with the window regulators that jeep continues to use. i have replaced two rear windows within a week costing about $1000.00 on my vehicle which has low mileage. i consider this a severe safety issue as there is no warning to when the windows fail and objects enter the vehicle at a high rate of speed which could cause a crash or death. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated the rear drivers side automated window failed to operate. the contact planned to take the vehicle to an authorized dealer to be repaired. in august of 2010, the rear drivers side window regulator was replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 52,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact noticed that the rear driver side window would exhibit an unusual noise when opening or closing until the window was no longer operable. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the lift plate was the cause of the failure. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure and the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 41,240 and the current mileage was approximately 43,900.

I left work today and walked out to my car to find my back driver side window down. when i tried to put it up, it wouldn't go. this is the third time i have had this problem on the same vehicle and this will be the second time, almost a year to the day, that this window has had this problem. the regulator will need to be replaced, again, and the cost will again be over $300.00. even after the regulator is replaced my vehicle will not be safe. the complete randomness of this occurrence and the fact that this is the second time on the same window within a year, leaves me to believe that it will happen again. i can no longer leave anything of value in my car. i have to be careful when traveling with my dogs. i won't be able to take children in my car without another adult present. the window falls completely into the door leaving the space totally open and unsafe. after researching this i have found that there are thousands of people having this same problem, it is only a matter of time before someone gets hurt. *tr

Left rear drivers side window fell. will not go up. door will not open or close properly. the other windows are starting to go out. i can tell now, by the sound. the rear window has been used 3 times. i have only had the jeep for 18 months. the replacement part seems to fail right after it is put in. at $550.00 per window at my dealer i can not get them fixed. but now my kids can not ride in the backseat because i am afraid the window will fall. *tr

Jeep liberty automobile, 2006 model year, multiple incidents of door window dropping suddenly into the door frame. drivers door has happened twice, front passenger door once, driver's side rear passenger door has happened three times and passenger side rear door once. on two occasions this has happened while driving at high speeds and the resulting chaos has nearly caused an accident. jeep dealership says this is a common problem for jeep liberty from 2002 to 2006. they have no solution to offer other than replacing the window solenoid with same type that keeps failing. *tr

Power window regulator broke/needed replaced on 2006 jeep liberty. second one to fail, first covered under warranty, second was not (price 340.00 dollars). happened to both rear windows which are rarely down. *tr

1. there are not events leading up to the failure. 2. the rear drivers side window regulator. it has broken 3 times in two years. the consequence is that during times of extreme heat or cold, the window will stay down posing a health risk (in cold weather-cold related illness and in hot weather-dehydration) as well as a safety risk (outside debris entering vehicle at high velocities) to the rear passenger. 3. the regulator has been replaced three times: twice by dealership and once by myself. the old parts are not available. *tr

Failure of power window components causing window to crash into inner door... almost caused an accident by frightening me to the point of panic. after some investigation, i have found out that this is an ongoing problem with the jeep liberty that chrysler has refused to deal with... it will eventually be dealt with after someone is killed or maimed. why don't you do your job and deal with this problem before someone gets killed or maimed. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 jeep liberty. the contact stated that both rear windows would drop down into the door panels without warning. the dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was taken to a private mechanic on four ocassions where they replaced the window regulators; however, the failure continued to occur. the manufacturer was aware of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 48,000 and the current mileage was 60,000.

Last year, right rear power window fell into door while i was driving the car. the window would not go up again. repair was $380. now, the other three windows are having similar problems. *tr

Jeep liberty 2006, manufactured in september of 2005. repeated failure of passenger and driver side window regulators. a known issue and a cause for the recall, but only for cars made as of february of 2006. window regulators are just as faulty on jeep liberty's 2006 that were made in previous months. endless replacements at $600 each time. these cars need to be recalled as sudden window failures may result in unsafe driving conditions and as a result, in accidents. *tr

In march 2009 i purchased a used 2006 jeep liberty and in august 2009 the driver side rear window stopped working just a loud clicking sound and then you can manual pull and push the window down. a new regulator/cable and window had to be installed. in march 2010 the same thing happened on the front drivers side window and the front passenger window. in july 2010 the rear driver side window stopped working again. each time the windows stops working they need to replaced. money out of my pocket, now my extended warranty is no longer in effect and the work that gets down only has a warranty for so long. there has to be a better fix then forking over $500+ each time a window stops working. it seems at this rate it's going to happened now every year. i am afraid to use the window at all. this needs to be addressed!!!! *tr

Rear driver side window regulator failed and the window dropped. research shows that this is very common with jeep window regulators. a cheaply made plastic clip routinely breaks causing the window to drop (both front and rear power windows). many owners have replaced multiple window regulators costing several hundred dollars each. failure occurs even on windows that are rarely operated. the failures create a safety issue and should be addressed with a recall. the weak window regulators also make it very easy to break into a vehicle. *tr

We were driving on the highway when the drivers side rear door window dropped to the bottom of the track. the window would not operate by the electrical switch, and could not be made to close. i am told by the dealer that this will cost 500 dollars to fix, even though thousands of these failures are recorded by jeep. they also demanded a $75.00 "diagnostic fee" to tell me this. this is dangerous. a child could be placed in serious jepardy by this defect. *tr
