Recently reported VISIBILITY problems on 2007 Jeep Liberty

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the vehicle windows failed to open and close. the contact called a local dealer (berwick dodge located at 1127 pine st berwick, pa 18603) where it was diagnosed that the windows needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. the manufacturer was advised of the failure, but did not offer any assistance. the vin was unknown. the failure mileage was 52,000. the consumer stated there was an issue with the power lift unit due to a broken plastic clip that held the window up. this causes the window to slip down into the inside the door frame. updated 09/05/2017*js

Rear passenger window is off track and keeps falling into the door. i was driving on a city street when it first occured, but now it continues to fall into the door even if i'm stationary. *tr

This complaint in regards to the blower motor. i contacted chrysler about the blower motor on my jeep because this is the second time i've had a problem with it. the first time was taken care of because it was still under warranty after my purchase in 2014. but it has gone out again. this time the blower motor had gotten so hot that it melted the wire casing of the wires. this could have caused a fire. the company said that since it's not under warranty it's not there problem. i feel that someone should look into the problem with the blower motors. i had also contacted the dealership because there had been a recall on trailer hitch. while i was on the phone with them i asked about the blower motor. they said that there wasn't a recall on it. but the person i spoke to had said he has the same vehicle and the same thing happened to him and that he had to pay for the repairs. this is an obvious problem with this model blower motor and chrysler should take it seriously before someone gets injured or killed because it starts a fire. i was just lucky enough that mine didn't catch fire. *tr

I am writing about the window regulators in a 2007 jeep liberty. several years back, there was a recall, and within the time frame of that recall, we had 3 window regulators go bad and get fixed. we just had the 4th window slide down and now jeep is saying the warranty is no longer in effect and they will not fix it. it shouldn't matter when the problem happened, a problem is a problem and it shouldn't have to happen within a certain time frame to get it fixed. *tr

Passenger window fell into door when passenger exited vehicle and closed door. car was not turned on at the time. car is at jeep dealership in batavia, oh for repair. this is the 7th time i have had a window regulator/ lift plate fail. seventh!! chrysler issued an extended warranty in 2010 for select models of jeep liberty vehicles that expired in march 2014. i have filed a complaint with chrysler. my window issues have not been resolved! i am exhausted from not only fighting with chrysler about these defective parts, but also from the inconvenience of having these windows fail. i have driven for hours in the rain with a window open and i have driven for hours at subzero temps on an expressway in a blizzard with a window open. and i have had to drive around with plastic taped to my window (looks horrendous) and risk having personal affects stolen due to my inability to secure my vehicle. i expect tires and brakes to wear and hose and belts to fail over time. i do not expect to pay tens of thousands of dollars for a vehicle that has faulty windows!! there should have been a recall issued and all these windows fixed correctly instead of making owners spend thousands in repair bills fixing the same [xxx] windows over and over with more defective parts. *tr information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Window falling down inside of door panel, i don't remember if i was moving or stationary at the time. it has happened in both instances. *tr

On this date i was driving down hwy 97 at 60mph. the right side rear window fell down. this is the 3rd window out of 4 that this has happened to. the dealer, damskov auto in omak, wa. fixed the left rear for free. when the drivers side window fell, they said it was not covered under the recall. now my 3rd one was just inspected and an estimate given ($391) to repair it also. with 2 car seats in the rear, this is a serious safety issue that jeep refuses to accept responsibility for. ive notified jeep 3 times and they still refuse to repair this.there is a recall on this jeep for the windows, however they say not this exact part that keeps breaking. please help me. the cost is exorbitant for an issue that they are aware of. thank you for your time. *tr

Window would not go back up. the dealer told me it was the window regulator cable, it broke, and the window regulator would have to be replace, but it not covered by warranty. it is taped up until i can a afford the replacement $450 + labor. unreal. it should be covered. its the first time it happened and i hope the last for me. *tr

Both rear window regulators in my 2007 jeep liberty sport have failed, and i have only owned this jeep for 5 months. *tr

I have had the exact same problem as nhtsa id # 10615513. my window went down and wouldn't go back up. when i originally purchased this vehicle, i had taken it back for a problem w/that window, but they said they found no problem. i ended up having to go pay out of pocket for an entire new window system, so i could get the window to roll up. i do believe this seems to be a recurring problem since others have complained also. *tr

2007 jeep liberty - power window regulator failure: june 3 - 2014 - the right front power window regulator failed and became inoperable. on july 10, 2014, the right rear power window regulator failed, and the window rolled down on its own while my daughter was operating the vehicle at highway speed. the window became inoperable and could not be rolled back up. in the service tech's report, the window regulator "came apart." chrysler-jeep had extended the warranty on this part to seven years from service date through march 7, 2014 or one million miles, whichever came first. therefore they refuse to cover the repair cost under warranty. i am sending this report because i believe these two incidents have identified an important safety issue. because the failure causes the window to roll down on its own and become inoperable, if it does so at highway speed or in inclement conditions this could present a safety hazard. also the fact that two different window regulators on the same vehicle failed in consecutive months roughly one month apart indicates to me that there may be a systemic problem with this part, and all such parts should be investigated. *js

Glass lift plate& motor have both given out at least twice in less than 2 years. it costs over $200 to have the dealer fix it. the window just falls for no reason. come on we need a break. i don't know about the rest of the world but when i have to pay to fix something and it is very expensive i expect quality. *tr

All 4 of my windows have fallen in to the door. each happened at a different time. two while i was driving 75mph down the highway and could not pull over. the cost to repair the defective window motor is $450 each! apparently this is a very common problem with this model and year. i have seen thousands of complaints online. i have temporarily held the windows up with zip ties. i am very worried about the safety of this. none of my windows roll down now! i have been in a roll over accident (in a different vehicle) where it was necessary for me and the passenger to crawl out of the window to exit the car. there would be no way for me to escape if my doors were damaged. what is jeep doing about this obvious defect? *tr

Same gas problem it overflows tank when filling it. abs light, esp bas, and traction control lights came on and brakes go all the way to the floor at times. window regulators keep going out making my vehicle unsafe for me to put my child in. as a single parent i cannot afford to keep paying for costly repairs (mainly the windows) to prevent my child from getting sick in wisconsin winter. i do not have time in my day to sit and wait on repairs to be done. i hate risking frost bite when my window decides to fall and i'm trying to hold it up! it is now snowing and my drivers side window has fallen into my door yet again and it is 2 am and i really hope garbage bags keep it dry! *tr

Window regulators replaced on three separate windows starting in 2010, and one in 2013 and now 2014. dealership said only lift plate has extended warranty, not the regulator. yet my dealership (two since 2010) told me it's the regulator. it's only a matter of time before the 4th one goes out. i'm sick of paying for this when two of the windows that broke i have never rolled down except to clean. and one regulator broke while the dealership was cleaning it. if it breaks upon cleaning, that is a big issue and i want it covered and reimbursed for my costs.. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. the contact stated she was unable to close the window automatically. the contact mentioned that the window glass fell down into the door panel. the vehicle was taken toa dealer where it was diagnosed that the window regulator fractured and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the failure recurred on other windows. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 36,000.

In 2010 i purchased a used 2007 jeep liberty from a dealership. within the first month of the purchase the mechanism inside the front driver's side door broke causing the window to drop into the door rendering it unusable. i took the vehicle back to the dealership and they repaired the mechanism for free. in 2012 the same mechanism in the same door broke again. this time i was told that this is a common occurrence but was forced to pay for the repair myself as jeep has not yet recalled the mechanism. yesterday, december 21, 2013 the mechanism broke again this time in the front passenger side door. i have called the dealership again but have not yet scheduled a time to fix the unit. i do not feel as if i should have to pay for this repair as it is an on-going issue and obviously a defective product. *tr

I was driving back to salisbury, md from washington dc when i heard wind 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. *tr

Gear/worm drive failed and window popped off track, had to repair out of pocket as dealership would not cover. *tr

On 3/19/13 the rear passenger window dropped into the door frame while the vehicle was not moving, sitting in driveway. vehicle repaired under 2006/2007 recall by dealer. on 7/16/14 the front passenger window dropped into the door-frame and the vehicle was sitting the driveway again. this was reported to chrysler claims and the august dodge chrysler jeep dealership at 1201 greenville ave, staunton, va 24401 (540)885-0875 on 7/16/14. spoke to julie, employee id je779 refused claim on 7/16/14, because of mileage. she was informed that the window was never properly repaired on the former recall. on both occasions the window completely just fell out on its own, just sitting in the driveway. this is a very serious safety issue and windows do not just fall out. i am requesting that this modification be correct and complete and reimbursed by the above dealer which did not do a complete repair the first time. this vehicle has never been in any accident. currently i have had a recall for a recall on the fuel tank modification and that has never been done. i have had that for months and months and this is still pending. *js

Rear window fell into door while driving. window regulators fail randomly and jeep is not offering a solution. this is the 5th failure of the windows on my 2007 jeep. all windows have failed and been replaced, now the replacements are failing. *tr

While using the passenger side back power window operator to close the window there was a click and the window began to slowly sink back into the door. the car was parked at the time of the incident. this is my second window regulator to go bad. the driver's side back window regulator has also gone bad. it was scheduled for repair. *tr

This is a complaint about the fuel issue that i have seen on here already.when i go to put fuel into the gas tank, it will not stop at the end as it's filling up. it just overflows. i would say at least a few cups of fuel flows down the side of the jeep and down into the bottom of the vehicle and wheel well. i know that at some point it will lead to rust/corrosion among many other issues. i really wish this could be looked at and possibly fixed by manufacturer. it doesn't make sense that there are more than enough complaints about the same issue, with no help from the manufacturer. i also have the same problems as others with the windows. the regulator has a piece that breaks and then the whole regulator has to be replaced. this has happened 3 times already on different windows. lastly, i just recently had an issue where the jeep wouldn't start. the console lights and guages work fine and it acted like all was well, but the car wouldn't turn over when the key was turned. the result was the ignition switch actuator pin. it has a piece that breaks off and when that happens, the jeep wont be able start. it isn't an easy fix for someone who isn't mechanically capable. again, this is an issue that has happened to many people and honestly the manufacturer should do something about this. i could complain about more, but let's just leave it at that. *tr

When going to put the drivers window down, i accidentally pushed the switch for the back seat window behind the driver's seat. when i hit the switch it made a funny noise. so, i left the window alone with plans to get it fixed. the window was up at this point. i went to work and when i returned to my car at the end of the day, the window was all the way down. i attempted to put it up using the switch and it made the same funny noise. *tr

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 is: (866) 653 3505. thank you again. thank you *tr

I purchased a 2007 jeep liberty limited edition 4x4 on may 26, 2012 from local dealership. on september 16, 2012, i was shocked to find rear passenger window had slid half way down through the night. discovered from internet research that plastic parts are faulty and known by chrysler for years. yet no recall made to correct this serious problem. replacing with same plastic parts is no solution. my concern is safety and security. why have an alarm system when any or all four windows are prone to failure? steel replacement parts can be purchased online independently, but as a consumer i feel chrysler should be obligated to correct this at no cost. this requires immediate attention. why wait for the possibility of a child falling out of a moving vehicle. there is no warning. *tr

The driver window fell into the door when the cable broke that makes the window go up and down. it is very cold when the window is open all the time, and if a person blocks the opening to keep warm and not let the rain in, they cannot see properly. (safety issue) i have owned the car about 3 years. i bought it used, so i don't know if there were problems before. but this has been a problem for me ever since i bought the car. i have been told that the window regulator goes bad and that is why the window doesn't work properly and broke the cable. i noticed that there are many complaints about this issue. many people have spent alot of money to keep the windows working properly. i spent over $700 just to keep my driver door window proper and this is for many fixes. i did not buy the car at a jeep dealership, so when i go in there, they are not real interested in helping me. please make this issue a recall and help people to get their windows to work properly. please!!! *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. the contact stated that while driving 20 mph, the rear driver's side window independently opened. the contact was not able to close the window and the window switch was unresponsive. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, who stated that the power window regulator would need to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred on both passenger and rear passenger side windows. the contact had to replace both window regulators. the contact also stated that the windows would not close evenly. the vehicle was repaired both times. the manufacture was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 75,000.

I purchased my 2007 jeep liberty on friday. two days later my daughter rolled the back window up and it came off track. i took my jeep back to the car lot, they paid to have the window fixed at a port city glass. i was told it was the regulator and that this is a common issue seen with the jeep liberty. the second incident occurred last year while my husband was in the front passenger seat and rolled the window up. the window would not roll up and made noises. i took the jeep back to port city glass for an estimation. i was told it would be approx. $230. i did not have the money for the repair and opted to block it off for now. i have had window issues with my jeep since almost day 1. the is a very inconvenience on me and my family. *tr

Three power windows, driver, passenger and back passenger side have gone out due to motor failure. one was replaced but the window still tilts when lowered and raised. all three windows had same issue prior to failing. apparently this is a widespread problem and i am beginning to wonder why there is no recall. *tr

Tl* the contact owns 2007 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the front passenger side regulator failed and the window could not be closed or opened. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer. the manufacturer was notified of the failure who advised that there were no recalls for the vehicle and offered no other assistance. the failure mileage was 84,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. while driving approximately 35 mph, the contact noticed that the rear driver side window was falling slowly into the door panel. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostics where the technicians advised that the window regulator would have to be replaced. the failure also occurred on the rear passenger window. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 55,000.

I purchased this vehicle on december 1 2011 and about a month or a little more later (in january) the front passenger window started messing up (when you rolled it up it started going up crooked and you have to take your hand a straightened several times while rolling it up all the way. also, the switches that are in the middle area between the seats, the one for the back driver's side passenger side, quit working all together. toward the end of february or the beginning of march we were traveling down the road ( grandson was in the back luckily on the opposite side in his car seat) and the driver's side back passenger window started malfunctioning (when you went to roll it up the motor that rolls it up started making noise) and the window dropped and somehow jammed the door completely shut and we cannot open it. today while we were out we noticed the driver's side window is starting to act up. that's three out of 4 messing up or messed up and one has caused us not to be able to open the door at all. we cannot afford to have all this fixed on our own and it is not that old of a vehicle and the mileage is not really that high and it is still in good shape otherwise and from what i have read from some of the other complaints filed on here for the 2007 jeep liberty this seems to be a repeating issue.

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. *tr

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. *tr

I was driving my 2007 jeep liberty with me 4 yr old son in rear safety seat when the rear passenger window slammed open. it could have shattered into the vehicle where my son was sitting. thank god it did not, this issue i see is a problem with these jeep liberty's. *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep liberty. the contact stated that the front driver side window detached and fell down into the door panel while driving 25 mph. the contact also stated that the rear driver side window was beginning to fall down into the door panel. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and the contact was informed that a regulator cable broke. the contact was also informed that a new regulator assembly needed to be installed. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure, but offered no assistance. the failure and the current mileages were 45,000.

3 of 4 power window in car have dropped inside the door. 2007 jeep liberty. *tr

The driver side window dropped into the door. repairman states that the regulator on the window has went bad. cost over $300.00 to fix. two months later, the back driver side fell into the door, and again the repairman states the same problem. now the total cost to have both fix over $600. i had the passenger side fixed, and had the back driver side blocked up. do you think that after some many complaints that they would investigate these regulators and maybe have a recall on them. it's now nov. 2011, and my driver side window is acting the same way...think it might be the next one. *tr

Jeep liberty: due to a disability, i cannot reach snow on roof to clear. driving about 35 mph, braking to slow down for stop sign, all the heavy snow on roof slid forward, completely covered windshield. i was a blind driver for at least 100 feet. no one in front of me this time, thank god. had to stop in middle of a busy road to clear windshield. never had this happen with any car i have ever owned. i am 62 and owned a lot of cars. i am so upset, i may sell this car, i am afraid to drive it with snow on roof. contacted dealer, he said clean the snow off the roof. i am disabled, i told him. he did not do anything, offer advice, etc. have you had any complaints like this? *tr

I have owned my 2007 jeep liberty since june 2007. today my right rear passenger window regulator failed. this is the 6th occurrence of this happening since i've owned my vehicle. the driver's side has failed 3 times. the front passenger side has failed once and the left rear has failed twice. now this is actually the 7th occurrence. why hasn't jeep done a recall about this? *tr

2007 jeep liberty - window regulator, window regulator fails at random. has occurred at least 5 times in two years, currently i pay $100/incident to have this repaired (because it is in warranty). this has become so common that chrysler has advised dealerships to replace the regulator with an updated model at customer's expense, which has occurred with both of my rear windows. now my driver's side window has failed for the second time and will have to be repaired this upcoming week. *tr

2007 jeep liberty sport. throughout the three years i've owned this vehicle i have had repeated problems with the power windows, including windows that stop working or just fall into the door without even using the power window switch. i have an extended lifetime warranty and have had to pay $100 deductible everytime i've taken it in for these repairs. the claim to have replaced the front windows as they now have a different "connector" for the power window unit. the drivers window goes down normally, but is very slow to come up and sometimes stops. i have to manually 'help' it up. the front passenger window has worked fine since the same repair. the rear windows have both been repaired however the driverside passenger window has now started to fall on its own. it has not been used since it was last repaired except the day of the repair when i checked to make sure it was good to go. i've learned that the parts that need to be replaced are plastic and break down regularly and need to be replaced with metal ones. these plastic parts are easily broken and thus make it easy to break into the vehicle through the use of a steel hook and pressure. jeep needs to seriously address this. of all the vehicles i have owned this is the only one that has had a window issue and it keeps happening! this has cost me hundreds of dollars and there is no relief in sight. help!!! *tr

Window has dropped 4 inches will not go up have to physically push up with hands and the window is taped to hold in place. in my state, a vehicle will not pass state inspection if the windows do not work especially the drivers side which is where my problem is. considered a "safety" issue. *tr

2007 jeep liberty. 4th time window regulators failed in past three years. all windows once and same windows twice.. on 10/08/10 while traveling south on i 95. windows were in full upright position, when out no where, the front passenger window dropped . two minutes later the rear drivers side dropped out. i had to drive 100 miles home like that. . very scary . dealer people know about the problem but said no recall yet.. i guess someone has to die and sue them before they will recall. soooo many people have same complaint. please help us before someone gets really hurt.. thank you. i do not know the part # but had to put something in to complete this survey or it wouldn't let me continue. i believe jeep uses mopar parts, unknown part# for regulator part.. please help... *tr
