2004 JEEP LIBERTY Visibilitypower Window Devices And Controls Problems

2004 JEEP LIBERTY IN GOOD REPAIR, DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR AND COULD NOT BE RAISED. MOTOR MAKES A GRINDING SOUND. THERE WAS NO CRASH, THE WINDOW WORKED THE DAY PRIOR. *TR

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND NOTICED THE BACK WINDOW CAME DOWN ABOUT 4 INCHES. TRIED TO RAISE THE WINDOW USING THE POWER BUTTON AND HEARD A LOUD POP. TRIED AGAIN AND HEARD ANOTHER POP. THE WINDOW DOES NOT ROLL UP. I CAN RAISE IT BY HAND BUT IT DOES NOT STAY UP. *TR

LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR KEEPS BREAKING. HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE. NOW THE DRIVER'S WINDOW IS STARTING THE SAME THING. VERY COSTLY. CHRYSLER DEALER WON'T HELP WITH THE COST. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY FOR SINCE NOVEMBER OF 2003. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR WINDOW REGULATORS 6 TIMES. NOW THAT MY EXTENDED SERVICE CONTRACT IS RUNNING OUT, I CONTACT JEEP AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CONSIDER HELPING ME ON AN INCIDENT BY INCIDENT BASIS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS ISN'T A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM AND SHOULD NOT BE ADDRESSED BY THE COMPANY. I HAVE $600 INVESTED IN THIS PROBLEM AND DON'T FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO INVEST MORE OF MY HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR WINDOWS SUDDENLY FELL DOWN DUE TO A BROKEN REGULATOR. THIS OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT. THE CONTACT STATED THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THEM REPLACE THE REGULATOR. THE MANUFACTURER HAD ASSISTED THE CONTACT WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIRS BUT THE CONTACT STATED THE REPAIR IS NOT REMEDYING THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THE REGULATOR IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND IT MELTS DUE TO THE HEAT AND THAT'S WHAT CAUSES THE REGULATOR TO MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

WHILE DRIVING THROUGH CONGESTED TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY, THE REAR WINDOW OF MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND UNEXPECTEDLY FELL DOWN INSIDE OF THE DOOR, MY DOG NEARLY FELL OUT AND I NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHILE PULLING OVER TO SAFETY. MY FAMILY AND I HAD TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES IN THE RAIN WITH NO REAR WINDOW. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH POWER WINDOWS IN THE JEEP LIBERTY YEARS 2002-2006 AND THERE IS EVEN A COMPANY THAT STAYS IN BUSINESS SELLING REPLACEMENT PARTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS PROBLEM (HTTP://WWW.STEIGERPERFORMANCE.COM/PRODUCTS/SP13001.HTML)., *TR

I BOUGHT A 04 JEEP LIBERTY FOR MY SON. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW WENT OUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUYING IT. RESEARCH SHOWED THOUSANDS OF OCCURRENCES OF THIS HAPPENING TO PEOPLE EVERYWHERE. THE NYLON SUPPORT BRACKET IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO PERFORM ITS DESIGNED FUNCTION AND BREAKS OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITH NO RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND FOR THAT REASON CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO BE JUST GETTING RICH OFF OF FIXING THEIR BADLY ENGINEERED WINDOW REGULATOR AT THE CONSUMERS EXPENSE. I AM SURE GLAD THE GOVERNMENT GAVE THEM BAIL OUT MONEY BUT WHEN WILL THEY ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN AND RECALL THIS WINDOW REGULATOR BRACKET. IN MY CASE, ONLY THE NYLON SUPPORT BRACKET THAT SUPPORTS THE WINDOW TO MOVE UP/DOWN THE TRACK IS BROKEN. THIS IS A SHAMEFUL WAY FOR A CAR MAKER TO HANDLE A PROBLEM THAT...

11 MONTHS AGO MY DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND I HAD TO HAVE IT FIXED. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE HEAT. FINE, I FORKED OUT A FEW HUNDRED DOLLARS AND A FEW HOURS OF MY TIME. THEN YESTERDAY I GOT INTO MY CAR AND SURE ENOUGH THE WINDOW WAS DOWN, WHEN I TRIED TO ROLL IT UP AND NOTHING HAPPENED I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY SET ME UP WITH AN APPOINTMENT FOR THIS MORNING. THEY SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT, RATHER THEY ARE MAKING MORE MONEY OFF OF THE CUSTOMERS IN THE REPAIRS. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE, AND NOW THIS IS THE THIRD REGULATOR MY CAR HAS HAD, WITH NO GUARANTEE I WON'T BE BACK AGAIN NEXT YEAR FOR ANOTHER. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY AND ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS HAVE HAD THE DRIVER'S FRONT AND REAR WINDOWS FALL INTO THE DOOR UNEXPECTEDLY DUE TO A FAILED WINDOW REGULATOR. ON TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS THE WINDOW FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. ON ALL FOUR OCCASIONS, THE DEALERSHIP CHARGED ME $325 TO FIX THE WINDOW EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FAULTY PART BECAUSE I WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THE REAR DRIVER WINDOW HAS FAILED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, EACH TIME, WITHIN LESS THAN A YEAR OF HAVING THE REGULATOR REPLACED AT A JEEP AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT MY JEEP DEALERSHIP HAS ADMITTED TO ME THAT IT IS A FAULTY PART AND THAT THE RIGHT THING WOULD BE IF CHRYSLER WERE TO ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE PARTS. *TR

MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY HAS HAD THE SAME BROKEN WINDOW THREE SEPARATE TIMES. THE REGULATOR INSIDE THE WINDOW MOTOR IS POORLY DESIGNED AND SNAPS. I HAVE JUST READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS AND SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE SAID THEY FILED A COMPLAINT AS WELL. THE WINDOW BASICALLY FALLS DOWN, AND IT COULD HAVE EASILY SHATTERED ALL OVER MY THREE YEAR OLD WHO WAS SITTING BESIDE THIS WINDOW. NOW IT IS 100+ DEGREES HERE AND I HAVE TO TRY TO UNSAFELY RIG THIS WINDOW SO IT DOESN'T FALL AND BREAK. CHRYSLER WILL GIVE AN ESTIMATE OF OVER $500 TO FIX THIS. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND NOW. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THE REGULATOR HAD FAILED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE. WHY ISN'T THE NHTSA DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED, LOW MILES 32,764, JANUARY, 2009. AROUND EARLY AUGUST, 2009, THE PASSENGER WINDOW FELL DOWN AND WOULDN'T GO BACK UP. YOU COULD HEAR MOTOR RUNNING WHEN WINDOW SWITCH WAS PRESSED. CALLED CHRYSLER ON 8/10/09. THEY ADVISED WINDOW REGULATOR WAS KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER (THEY ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER). ADVISED ME TO CALL DEALER. I DID. OUT OF STOCK. TOO, THEY WOULD HAVE TO OPEN DOOR PANEL AND CHARGE ME $59.95 JUST TO TAKE PANEL OFF. HE WOULD THEN HAVE TO CALL CHRYSLER ONCE THE PANEL WAS OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD AGREE TO FIX IT. RIDICULOUS. TOLD HIM TO CALL BACK WHEN IN STOCK. WHEN I DIDN'T HEAR BACK, I PHONED A COUPLE MORE TIMES AND THEN GAVE UP. WENT AHEAD AND HAD IT FIXED BY A REPAIR MAN 9/2/09 AT A COST OF $230. THE THIRD WEEK OF OCTOBER, 2009, THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN...

JEEP LIBERTY WINDOW REGULATOR BREAKS ALLOWING WINDOW TO FALL DOWN INTO DOOR AND REMAIN INOPERATIVE UNTIL FIXED. WE OWN A 2004 LIBERTY AND HAVE NOW HAD 12 REGULATORS REPAIRED/REPLACED OVER 6 YEARS BECAUSE OF SOME EXECUTIVE DECISION TO CUT COST WITH A PLASTIC PART VS STEEL. BEEN CAUGHT IN MONSOON WITH BROKEN WINDOW, 100+ DEGREE TEMPERATURES WITH BROKEN WINDOW. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME/MILEAGE, MOVING OR STATIONARY, USING OR NOT USING WINDOWS. *TR

THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW REGULATOR FAILED AND THE WINDOW WAS INOPERABLE. THE REGULATOR WAS REPLACED BY A MECHANIC. *TR

I HAVE A 2004 JEEP LIBERTY THAT I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT 3 YEARS. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE NOW HAD TWO OF THE WINDOWS SUDDENLY STOP WORKING WITH NO WARNING. THE FIRST ONE WAS THE DRIVER'S SIDE BACKSEAT WINDOW. LAST YEAR I WAS PUTTING IT DOWN DUE TO THE HEAT. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT UP, I COULD HEAR THE MOTOR TRYING TO WORK BUT TO NO AVAIL. AFTER CHECKING IT OUT, I COULD ACTUALLY SEE A LONG, METAL CORD OR CABLE STICKING OUT OF THE SMALL HOLE IN THE DOOR. AT THE TIME I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL JEEP DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD BE ABOUT $500 TO FIX! UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME SO I HAVE BEEN USING DOORSTOPS TO KEEP THE WINDOW UP. TODAY, I HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW. THIS TIME THE WINDOW WOULD NOT...

TWO WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY JEEP LIBERTY FAILED AND THE WINDOWS DROPPED. IT HAPPENED DURING A RAINSTORM AND I NEARLY DROVE OFF THE ROAD INTO A DITCH BECAUSE OF IT. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THIS. THE WINDOWS JUST DROPPED. I HAD TO PUT A PERMANENT SUPPORT IN PLACE TO PREVENT THE WINDOW FROM FALLING. IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADDRESS IT. SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED FOR PROFIT. *TR

2004 JEEP LIBERTY WINDOWS FALL DOWN. REGULATORS ARE JUNK!!! THIS IS MY 5TH REPLACEMENT!!! *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT RESPOND USING THE WINDOW SWITCH. WINDOW HAD TO BE TAPED TO THE DOOR FRAME UNTIL WE COULD GET IT TO A REPAIR FACILITY. THE REGULATOR FAILED AND BOTH THE REGULATOR AND MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

WINDOW IN MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY WILL SUDDENLY DROP DOWN AND WILL NOT GO BACK UP EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE POWER. I THEN HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I HAVE HAD 3 OF THE 4 WINDOWS REPLACED AND AM NOW WORKING ON THE LAST. THIS TIME, MY DOG WAS IN THE BACK. HAD MY MOTHER NOT BEEN IN THE BACK SEAT HE WOULD OF JUMPED THROUGH NOT KNOWING WHAT WAS GOING ON. THERE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY WINDOW SLIPS DOWN. THIS IS EXPENSIVE TO COST AND CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS... CAN YOU IMAGINE IF YOUR CHILD WAS BACK THERE. *TR

WHILE RECENTLY DRIVING MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY, MY 10-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT BEGAN TO LOWER THE REAR WINDOW USING THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON. AT A CERTAIN POINT, I HEARD A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. UPON STOPPING, I NOTED THAT THE WINDOW HAD FAILED IN THE LOWERED POSITION AND WOULD NOT MOVE WITH FURTHER MANIPULATION OF THE POWER WINDOW BUTTON. HOWEVER, I ALSO NOTED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN AND WAS JAMMED SHUT. I WAS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM EITHER THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE HOME AND REMOVING THE DOOR PANEL, I NOTED THAT THE WINDOW REGULATOR ' A PLASTIC PIECE ' HAD FAILED. AT THIS POINT, I WAS STILL UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. I THEN REMOVED THE POWER WINDOW MOTOR AND ACCOMPANYING ASSEMBLY. WITH THIS ACTION, I NOTED THAT THE SCREW CABLE, IN ABSENCE OF THE PLASTIC...

DRIVERS SIDE DEFECTIVE WINDOW REGULATOR, CABLE BRAKES, WINDOW WILL NOT OPERATE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT A THIN NYLON PART HAD BROKEN FROM THE LIFT COMPONENT THAT THE WINDOW ATTACHED TO, THAT COULD BE REPAIRED/REPLACED FOR $5.00, HOWEVER CHRYSLER DID NOT MAKE THE CABLE AVAILABLE AND INSTEAD CONSUMERS WERE BEING FORCED TO BUY THE ENTIRE MOTOR ASSEMBLY FOR $180.00 AND LABOR AT $350.00 EVEN IF THE MOTOR AND/OR REGULATOR WERE NOT DEFECTIVE. THE REASON WHY THE WINDOW FAILED, WAS BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF THE POOR NYLON PART COMPONENT OR CABLE INSTALLED. ONCE THE SMALL NYLON PIECE BROKE OFF, THE NYLON PART WAS NO LONGER ATTACHED TO THE ACTUAL CABLE THAT MOVED UP AND DOWN VIA THE WINDOW MOTOR, OR THE CABLE WOULD BREAK ITSELF. THE WINDOW MOTOR CONTINUED TO WORK. *JB

REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FELL, CABLE REGULATORS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: JEEP LIBERTY SPORT 4X2 SPORT UTILITY 4-DR MODEL YEAR: 2004. *TR

POWER WINDOW REGULATORS...BREAK AND WINDOWS FALL . 2004 JEEP LIBERTY.. TOMORROW WILL BE 5 TIMES TO HAVE NEW WINDOW REGULATORS. MINE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THERE IS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER HAS A BACK-ORDER ON THE REGULATORS. NOW MY CHRYSLER DEALER JUST CHARGES $100 TO REPAIR. HAD ONE FAIL LAST WEEK AND THIS WEEK THE OTHER SIDE FAILED. *TR

WINDOW REGULATORS ARE FAULTY. WITHIN THE PAST YEAR THE DRIVER-SIDE AND BACK PASSENGER WINDOWS HAVE SIMPLY DROPPED INTO THE DOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE IN THUNDERSTORM AND THE WINDOW SUDDENLY DROPPED WITHOUT WARNING. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

THERE ARE NO EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE PROBLEM. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. MY 2004 JEEP LIBERTY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE WINDOWS JUST FALLING DOWN. I CAME OUT FROM WORK AND MY PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS DOWN. THANK GOODNESS NO ONE STOLE ANYTHING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WITHIN A WEEK, THE DRIVER SIDE HAS NOW FALLEN DOWN, DURING MY DRIVE TO WORK. I PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FROM A DEALER AND REPAIRED IT MYSELF. THE PARTS ALONE WERE ALMOST $400 FOR A PLASTIC PIECE THAT IS TEMPORARILY FIXING IT. BY THAT I MEAN, THEY HAVE NOT TRIED TO IMPROVE THE PROBLEM JUST MERELY CHARGING US TO FIX IT. I HAVE READ WHERE PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME WINDOW GO OUT IN LESS THAN A WEEK, OR WALK OUT OF THEIR HOUSE AND ALL FOUR BE DOWN. THIS MAY NOT BE THE KIND OF SAFETY THAT YOU USUALLY DEAL WITH,...

I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERNS REGARDING A MALFUNCTION WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE 2004 JEEP LIBERTY THAT I OWN. MY INITIAL COMPLAINT STARTED ON OCTOBER 29, 2007. I NOTICED WHILE I WAS DRIVING, FOR NO REASON AT ALL, THE BACK DRIVER SIDE WINDOW SLID DOWN. THERE WAS NO RECOVERY, SO I VISITED THE CHRYSLER DEALER, DARNER CHRYSLER-JEEP IN MESA, ARIZONA. I ALSO CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY AGREED TO COMPENSATE HALF OF THE TOTAL BILL OF $304.57. THEY COMPENSATED $154.57. ABOUT A MONTH LATER, NOVEMBER 23, 2007 I HAD THE EXACT EVENT HAPPEN ONLY IT WAS THE DRIVER WINDOW THAT HAD SLID DOWN. I REPEATED MY VISIT TO THE DEALER AND CALLED CHRYSLER TO ASK FOR THEIR ASSISTANCE. THEY AGREED THIS TIME TO PAY FOR THE LABOR OF $147.00. I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $162.89. I NOW HAVE A THIRD WINDOW WITH...

WINDOW REGULATORS FAILING. HAVE HAD TWO REPLACED IN THE PAST TWO YEARS. BOTH ARE BROKEN AGAIN, ALONG WITH A THIRD. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO APPARENT CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM AMONG JEEP LIBERTY AND JEEP CHEROKEE OWNERS, YET CHRYSLER DENIES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WILL NOT FIX. DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE OVER $300 APIECE TO REPAIR. *TR

I FOUND BACK WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR TWICE ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT GO UP. FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED INTO DOOR ONCE ON ITS OWN AND WOULD NOT GO UP. FIRST TIME WAS JUNE 8, 2006. SECOND TIME WAS JUNE 20, 2007. THIRD TIME WAS SEPTEMBER 4, 2007. *JB
