Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My daughter was driving when her back window fell down and scared her. She is 16 years old and not very comfortable with driving anyway. She was able to pull to side of the road. Since this time another window has fell down. We just purchased this car for her and am regretting it now. I have read so many complaints about these windows and there has been no recall. I am so surprised!!! We don't have money to throw away!!”
NHTSA complaint #10694522, filed 2015-03, 134,000 miles“Right rear window regulator failed and window fell into the door. After part was replaced by dealer, same window regulator failed 16 months later. This window is next to my 4 years old car seat and is never opened. For me, this is a safety issue. Thousands of identical complaints can be found on various sites. Jeep is aware of the issue and refuses to fix it.”
NHTSA complaint #10426836, filed 2011-09, 81,014 miles“While driving at freeway speed, the passenger rear window slid down into the door. The cheap plastic lift plate that is part of the window regulator broke. It has been replaced twice now and just broke again. With the window down in the door the vehicle is vulnerable to break-in and damage from the weather. It is a safety issue for me because my child's carseat is in this location.”
NHTSA complaint #10485165, filed 2012-11, 81,000 miles“I was backing out of my driveway , it was dark outside and I could not see through the rear glass of the vehicle due to the fact that the tint is too dark on these and most SUV's . I feel that they need to make the reverse lights much brighter if they are going to tint the windows that dark.”
NHTSA complaint #10547532, filed 2013-10, 153,000 miles“Both rear power windows on my 2002 Jeep Liberty have failed to operate. They just fall down into the door and I have to prop them up with different devices. So far windows have failed 2 times on one side and 1 side on the other. The safety issue to me is someone getting into my car when the window falls into the inside of the door.”
