NHTSA Complaint #10322539 — 2007 JEEP LIBERTY

07 JEEP LIBERTY REAR DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED. WINDOW HAS FALLEN INTO THE DOOR. PLASTIC COMPONENTS HAVE A HIGH RATE OF FAILURE. RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALS THAT THIS FAILURE HAPPENS OFTEN ON THIS VEHICLE. LOSS OF THE WINDOW CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL DANGER IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR INCLEMENT WEATHER. PERSONAL SAFETY IS ALSO COMPROMISED WHEN YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO KEEP THE WINDOWS UP. LOSS OF CONTENTS OF THE VEHICLE IS POSSIBLE IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN WHILE THE LIBERTY IS LEFT UNATTENDED. MY "FIX" WAS TO WIRE THE WINDOW SHUT. AFTERMARKET PARTS ARE AVAILBLE ON EBAY AND OTHER INTERNET STORES. JEEP'S FIX IS TO REPLACE THE WINDOW AND THE REGULATOR WITH PARTS FROM THE PREVIOUS MODEL LIBERTY'S PARTS BIN(A BETTER MADE DESIGN). JEEP NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND MAKE THE REPAIR AT THEIR EXPENSE. *CN
