Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“We have had failure of two window regulators. The first, the driver side window, cost $500 in 2008. The second, the passenger side window, will probably cost a bit more. By the level of chatter on the internet it would appear to be a major and consistent problem among Jeep owners of this model. I pity the owners with four windows going out. I am already half way there!”
NHTSA complaint #10276579, filed 2009-07, 115,000 miles“Our window regulator failures began when the Jeep was less than a year old with the front passenger window. The next was the driver window in 2005. Now the passenger rear window has gone out. This window has been operated maybe 50 times. I was told on the second window that there was a problem with the original motors and they were installing a different type in the replacements. There was no offer to replace the remaining while still under warranty. At $400+ cost to repair, just can't wait for the last to go. Come on Jeep, you can do better.”
NHTSA complaint #10229220, filed 2008-05, 51,805 miles“I own a 2003 Jeep grand cherokee. I am currently replaced my 2nd window regulator (driver side and passenger side front) in 3 months. My brother-in-law owns the same vehicle (year/make) and has now had to replace 3 regulators. His mechanic told us that these parts are extremely prone to failure and he replaces so many of them that even the used parts are in high demand and cost as much as new and that Jeep won't recall them. I have done additional research online and has read so many other complaints of multiple window regulator failures on these Jeep vehicles. …”
NHTSA complaint #10208512, filed 2007-11, 65,000 miles“- the contact owns a 2003 Jeep Laredo, and stated that she had to replace the motor on the tracking for the driver 's side and passenger side windows. The contact stated that the windows were not used constantly, and could not understand why she had to replace the motor. The failure mileage was 45,000 and the current mileage was 64,000.”
NHTSA complaint #10184932, filed 2007-03, 45,000 miles“When using the wind shield washer system, the washer motor was unable to provide fluid, therefore road visibility was hindered causing near accidents due to the combination of sun glare and road salt debris. The dealer was notified and responded that the window washer fluid system is most likely frozen and remains this way for a couple of days.”
