Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The rear driver's side window fell out of the track; I tried rolling the window up but nothing happened. This is the second time the window regulator has broken. Apparently, this is a common problem with older Jeep Liberty models and from what I have read, the regulator is made of plastic instead of metal and the part is made to break often. I am tired of fixing the problem again and again!”
NHTSA complaint #10555243, filed 2013-12, 93,000 miles“I'm working in a big city and park my car all day in a open parking lot. The left rear window of my car was open, not sure if it was open all day.. For right now im duck taping that window from the inside, nothing has been done yet waiting to order and have it fixed, part alone will cost at least $ 150.00 and then repair cost?????”
NHTSA complaint #10399107, filed 2011-05, 90,000 miles“I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty in which 3 of the window regulators have went out. The reason this is an issue is driving down the freeway my driver window regulator quit working, the window fell down into the door. I almost wrecked because of the distraction and sound of my window falling.”
NHTSA complaint #10418595, filed 2011-08, 130,000 miles“Simply rolled up my window then it stopped and window fell down. Took off the door panel to examine and the cable still moved but made a lot of noise and window didn't move. This is the second time I've had this issue. I replaced the rear passenger window regulator when I purchased the car and now that one is messed up also. The one that recently broke is the front right window. Also my head lamp is showing issue with not coming on and I've already tested the stirring column switch.”
NHTSA complaint #10574959, filed 2014-03, 172,000 miles“I have a 2004 Jeep Liberty. The passenger side window fell into the door. Took it to a repair shop and was told the regulator had failed. I have read several instances of this type of failure on this model vehicle. Why isn't the NHTSA doing anything about this?”
