NHTSA Complaint #10466425 — 2006 JEEP LIBERTY

THE WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 2006 JEEP LIBERTY HAVE BROKEN AND FALLEN DOWN 10 DIFFERENT TIMES IN THE PAST 4 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE FIRST 9 TIMES WERE BOTHERSOME AND ABOUT 450.00 EACH TO GET FIXED BUT THIS LAST ONE IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE A 10 WEEK OLD BABY AND THE WINDOW DECIDED TO FALL DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ON THE INTERSTATE TO PULL THE WINDOW BACK UP TO STOP THE FLOOD OF RAIN THAT WAS FALLING ON MY (AT THE TIME) 8 WEEK OLD BABY. MY BABY WAS SCREAMING HIS HEAD OFF AS I AM SURE THAT MUCH RAIN COMING IN THE WIDE OPENED WINDOW AT 50-60 (WAS DRIVING SLOWER DUE TO LOW VISIBILITY IN STORM) MILES AN HOUR DID NOT FEEL GOOD. I HAD TO FIND THE RIGHT TIME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD THEN CLIMB IN BACK, UNDO CAR SEAT, SLIDE IT OVER AND DUCT TAPE THE WINDOW. I WAS ALONE AND THEN HAD TO REATTACH THE CAR SEAT TO THE BASE AND DRY OFF MY INFANT. I AM THANKFUL THAT NO ONE HIT US WHILE I WAS PARKED ON THE INTERSTATE IN A RAINSTORM WITH MY CHILD NOT BUCKLED IN TO THE CAR. I WAS IN A PANIC TRYING TO FIX THIS. NOW JEEP IS REFUSING TO FIX THIS FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO LACK OF RECALL. PLEASE MAKE THEM RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PART SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. I LIVE IN MOBILE, AL AND IT IS SCORCHING HOT AND I CAN'T BE DRIVING HIM AROUND WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. ALSO, IT DOESN'T STAY UP FOR MORE THAN A DAY WITH THE DUCT TAPE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT MELTING THE GLUE ON THE TAPE. IT'S JUST DANGEROUS. *TR
