NHTSA Complaint #10268975 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

2006 JEEP LIBERTY LIMITED 4X4, ALL 4 OF THE WINDOWS HAVE HAD REGULATOR FAILURE CAUSING THE WINDOWS TO FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR. THESE HAVE ALL OCCURRED AT DIFFERENT TIMES AND EVEN WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE RECENTLY REPLACED REGULATORS THAT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED ONCE HAVE FAILED AGAIN WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT WORK. SHE CAME OUT TO LEAVE WORK IN THE DARK AND AS SHE WENT TO DRIVE OFF SHE NOTICED A WINDOW IN THE REAR WAS DOWN. SHE DID NOT PUT IT DOWN IT FAILED AND FELL ON ITS OWN WHILE INSIDE OF HER PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT AGAIN. THIS IS A HAZARD THAT WOULD HAVE ALLOWED SOMEONE TO ENTER HER VEHICLE AND EITHER STEAL FROM THE VEHICLE OR ATTACK HER. SO ALL 4 POWER WINDOWS HAVE FAILED AND NOW THEY ARE STARTING TO FAIL AGAIN. WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE THIS OCTOBER AND WE FEAR WE WILL BE LEFT WITH CONSTANT REPAIRS AND SHE CONSTANTLY WORRIES ABOUT HER SAFETY KNOWING IT WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN AGAIN. REAR GATE ALSO HAD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM IT AND AFTER IT WAS SUPPOSEDLY FIXED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY WIFE COULD NOT GET THE GATE OPEN TO LOAD GROCERIES. UPON INSPECTION BY ME I FOUND THAT THE CHRYSLER JEEP DEALERSHIP JUST WRAPPED THE GATE LATCH STRIKER WITH ELECTRICAL TAPE INSTEAD OF REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE LATCH CAUSING THE DOOR LATCH TO BIND AND NOT OPEN. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS TO EITHER BE RECALLED OR ENFORCE A MANDATORY TSB ON A WORKING REVISION OF NEW PARTS. *TR
