“I bought a 2006 Jeep Liberty limited on 8-20-09 in excellent condition with approximately 50,000 miles. Before I even drove the car off the dealerships lot, the rear driver's-side window/window regulator failed rendering the window inoperable. Dealership did not have part and had to seal in up position so as not to fall, while part is being ordered. …”
NHTSA complaint #10281447, filed 2009-08, 50,000 miles“Window regulators break with normal use. This has created a financial stress and safety issue. My doors will not open. I was informed by a dealership that door opening mechanism gets interfered with when the regulator breaks. They were able to get the windows to stay up, as I cannot afford the replacement. But both rear doors will not open from the inside, and the windows will not function.”
NHTSA complaint #10323299, filed 2010-04, 50,002 miles“I have a 2006 Jeep Liberty, the front drivers window and the rear drivers window have both fallen while driving. I currently have them ty wrapped up. This is a temporary fix but also a serious safety concern as the driver would have a problem with egress in an accident. Chrysler will not address this issue,this is obviously a factory defect based on the amount of complaints, this needs some attention!”

NHTSA complaint #10238461, filed 2008-08, 30,000 miles“The regulator motor of the rear driver side window malfunctioned and the window slid down the track. Consequential damage of this defect caused the door latch to brake, making the door inoperable. The consequence is a safety hazard if an accident or rollover required the passenger to exit the automobile. The failure of regulator electric window motors is commonplace on chrysler products, whereas, these occurrences are all over the internet. The dealer fixed the problem at a cost of $600. …”
