NHTSA Complaint #10549651 — 2004 JEEP LIBERTY

THE WINDOW MOTOR REGULATORS FAIL EXTREMELY OFTEN--ON AVERAGE, ONE FAILS EVERY 6 MONTHS. THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING, AND THE WINDOW CRASHES DOWN INTO THE DOOR. IT IS EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO HEAR THE WINDOW FALL WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING, THE SUDDEN THUD COULD DISTRACT THE DRIVER ENOUGH TO CAUSE A CRASH, AND ANY CHILDREN OR PETS IN THE CAR ARE NOT ONLY EXPOSED TO THE ELEMENTS, BUT ARE AT RISK OF FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. OTHER TIMES, THE WINDOW FALLS WHILE THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE CAR IS OPEN FOR THE WORLD TO ENTER. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON WINDOW MOTOR REGULATORS FOR THIS VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT USED IN FEBRUARY 2009, THE FIRST WINDOW MOTOR REGULATOR FAILED LESS THAN 90 DAYS LATER AND ONE HAS FAILED EVERY 6 MONTHS SINCE. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE MY REQUESTS OR RECTIFY THE SITUATION, DESPITE A DOZEN MECHANICS HAVING TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR
