2003 Jeep Liberty Visibility & Wipers Problems

PASSENGER REAR WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE JEEP LIBERTY. THE REGULATOR ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE REPLACE. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART? UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

THIS IS THE SECOND JEEP LIBERTY I HAVE OWNED AND IN THE PAST 2 YEARS I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE EVERY WINDOW REGULATOR IN BOTH OF THEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, THIS IS AN ON-GOING SITUATION. ONE WINDOW REGULATOR I HAD FIXED A YEAR AGO JUST BROKE AGAIN YESTERDAY. I WORK AT A PRISON AND MY VEHICLE MUST REMAIN LOCKED AND SECURE AT ALL TIMES OR I CANNOT DRIVE IT TO WORK, AND IT IS A HEADACHE WONDERING IF THE TEMPORARILY TAPED UP WINDOW (UNTIL THE PART COMES IN) WILL FALL DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND I CANNOT DRIVE IT UNTIL IT IS FIXED. PLEASE RECALL THESE THINGS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR WINDOWS FELL INTO THE DOOR FRAME AND CAUSED THE REAR DOORS NOT TO BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE HAD PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE REAR WINDOWS REGULATORS HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE REAR WINDOWS WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 167,343.

WINDOW REGULATOR, WHICH IS MANUFACTURED OF CHEAP PLASTIC, HAS BROKEN AND CAUSED WINDOW TO FALL. CAR EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS OVERNIGHT. *TR

ON OCTOBER 17, 2013 THE LEFT REAR WINDOW DECIDED TO DROP DOWN.I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT THE WINDOW DID NOT FALL COMPLETELY INTO THE DOOR SPACE.I WAS ABLE TO PULL THE WINDOW UP AND FOR SAFETY MEASURES, I TAPED THE WINDOW UP. THE MOTOR STILL RUNS WHEN TRYING TO RAISE THE WINDOW BUT NOTHING HAPPENS IN RAISING THE WINDOW.I FOUND THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WINDOW REGULATORS. IN 2007 CHRYSLER DID AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 7 YEARS AND UNLIMITED MILES BUT I AM TOLD THERE IS NO HELP WITH THE 2003 MODELS ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME PROBLEM.. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED THE JEEP LIBERTY FOR QUITE SOME TIME AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF IT. I DO NOT HAVE THE $335.00 TO REPAIR THIS AND WINTERTIME IS ALREADY HERE. I AM TRYING TO DO RESEARCH ON THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS HARD TO FIGHT FOR THE REPAIR WHEN CHRYSLER KEEPS TELLING ME MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED. I FOUND A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS ON BEHALF OF JEEP OWNERS NATIONWIDE BUT WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO SEARCH MORE INFORMATION ON THE OUTCOME OF IT: [XXX] V. CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC, CLASS ACTION CASE NO. [XXX] BLM) THE CHRYSLER JEEP LIBERTY DOOR AND/OR WINDOW REGULATOR CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT COMPLAINT IS REPORTEDLY BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF THE FOLLOWING PUTATIVE CLASSES OF PERSONS, UNLESS OTHERWISE EXCLUDED: DURING THE FULLEST PERIOD ALLOWED BY LAW, ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES NATIONWIDE THAT PURCHASED OR LEASED A COVERED VEHICLE MANUFACTURED BY CHRYSLER. COVERED VEHICLE IS DEFINED TO INCLUDE MODEL YEAR 2002 THROUGH 2007 JEEP LIBERTY VEHICLES. (??THE NATIONWIDE CLASS??) IT IS CERTAINLY NOT A COMFORTABLE FEELING KNOWING THAT AT ANYTIME IF THE TAPE LETS LOOSE, THIS WINDOW CAN FALL INTO THE DOOR, BREAK INTO THE VEHICLE...UNKNOWN INJURIES CAN OCCUR. I WILL KEEP SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I PURCHASED MY JEEP LIBERTY IN 2003. ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER PURCHASE, THE FIRST WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE ONLY WARRANTY'S TO COVER THE REPAIR FOR 2006-2007 MODELS, REQUIRING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. THE REGULATOR WENT OUT 2 MORE TIMES OVER THE NEXT 3 YEARS - WITH OUT OF POCKET COSTS EACH TIME TO REPAIR. THE 4TH TIME THE REGULATOR WENT OUT, I CONTACTED JEEP, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO OBLIGE. JEEP HAD TO PAY FOR REGULATOR ONE MORE TIME, AS ANOTHER WENT OUT JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER. THIS TOTALS 5 INCIDENTS (3 OUT OF POCKET; 2 PAID BY JEEP). I AM NOW ON THE 6TH TIME THE REGULATOR HAS GONE OUT. I CONTACTED JEEP, BUT THEY HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND SAYS IT IS NOT THEIR ISSUE. I HIGHLY DISAGREE, AS THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED YEARS AGO. NOT ONLY DOES THIS CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH A WINDOW THAT DOES NOT STAY UP, BUT WE ARE NOW APPROACHING COLD, WINTER WEATHER. IT IS MY REQUEST THAT ALL JEEP WINDOW REGULATORS GET THE SAME TREATMENT AND FIXED REGARDLESS OF AGE OF VEHICLE, MAKE, MODEL AND/OR MILEAGE. *TR

WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING BOTH REAR WINDOWS CAME CRASHING DOWN RESULTING IN ONE WINDOW BREAKING BROUGHT IT TO HAVE FIXED WAS TOLD PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLD THE WINDOW UP FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR FAILED REPLACED BOTH MOTORS AND HAD WINDOW FIXED ALL FACTORY PARTS WERE USED HAPPENED AGAIN ON 3/13/2013 APPEARS THE PLASTIC CLIP KEEPS BREAKING WILL NEED TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS AND ASSEMBLY AGAIN AT A COST OF 600$ RIGHT NOW BOTH WINDOWS BEING HELD UP BY WOODEN STAKES CANT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING PARTS AT NO GUARANTEE THAT THIS WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

REAR WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE BROKEN 4 TIMES, FIX IS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS. DEALER TOLD US JEEP USES INFERIOR PLASTIC PARTS AND REFUSES TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. WILL NEVER BUY A JEEP AGAIN. *TR

PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW FALLS OPEN CREATING A SECURITY RISK FOR VEHICLE DRIVER AND CONTENTS. WINDOW REGULATOR HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A FRANCHISED JEEP DEALER SIX TIMES - ONCE A YEAR FOR THE LAST SIX YEARS. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER WINDOWS HAD FALLEN DOWN INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY ADVISED HIM THAT THE WINDOW REGULATORS WERE FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FELL INTO THE DOOR PANEL AND SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HAVE THE WINDOW REGULATOR REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS ONGOING AND THE WINDOW REGULATORS HAD TO BE CONSTANTLY REPLACED. THE DEALER ADVISED CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO ADVISED THAT DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

BOTH REAR WINDOWS HAVE FALLEN INTO WINDOW TRACKS DUE TO FAILURE OF A $.05 PIECE OF PLASTIC. THE DEALER REPAIR IS $600 TO REPLACE WINDOW ACTUATOR WITH NO PROMISE THAT THE FAILURE WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, SINCE THE EXACT SAME PART THAT FAILS IS THE EXACT SAME PART THAT IS REPLACED. IT IS SIMPLY A DISGRACE THAT AN INDIVIDUAL CAN "GOOGLE" THIS ISSUE ON JEEP LIBERTY'S AND SEE THAT THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY AND HAS HAPPENED TP THOUSANDS OF OWNERS. HOW CAN CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH THIS, AND NOT BE FORCED TO REPAIR A FAULTY PART THAT IS KNOWN TO FAIL TIME AND TIME AGAIN? *TR

JEEP LIBERTY 2003. REAR WINDOWS UP/DOWN MECHANIC BREAKS... POOR CONSTRUCTION.. IT BREAKS AND THE WINDOW FALL DOWN, LEAVING IT OPEN AND WITH KIDS ON THE BACK SIT ARE INSTANTLY EXPOSED WITH THE RISK OF PUTTING PARTS OF THEIR BODIES TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF JEEP USERS COMPLAINING ON THE INTERNET... JEEP HAS NOT STEP UP TO RECALL THOSE DEFECTIVES REAR WINDOWS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FAILED AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW COULD NOT BE CLOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

THE REAR WINDOWS ON MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY STOPPED WORKING. THEY WOULD NOT MOVE UP OR DOWN USING THE BUTTONS. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP THEM UP IS TO PUT TAPE ON THEM. AT FIRST THE ONLY TIME THE WINDOW WOULD COME DOWN WAS WHEN I WOULD BE DRIVING. THEN THEY WOULD NOT STAY UP AT ALL. THIS CREATED A PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS RAINING. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN MY ENTIRE BACKSEAT WAS WET BECAUSE OF THE WINDOWS FALLEN DOWN. A MECHANIC TOLD ME IT WAS THE WINDOW REGULATOR. I JUST HAD A MECHANIC REPAIR ONE OF THE WINDOWS. IT COST ME $385 DOLLARS TO GET ONE WINDOW REPAIRED. I COULD ONLY AFFORD TO GET ONE DONE, SO I STILL HAVE TAPE ON THE OTHER WINDOW. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME AN ESTIMATE OF $600. ALSO, I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE OTHER OWNERS SAID THEY HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE REGULATORS MORE THAN ONCE. I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP REPLACING THOSE REGULATORS. AND I DO HAVE THE OLD PART FROM THE ONE WINDOW THAT WAS CHANGED. *TR

WINDOW REGULATOR FAILS AND WINDOW STAYS DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES ON MY 2002 LIBERTY AND NOW FIVE TIMES ON MY WIFE'S 2003 LIBERTY. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY SPORT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS WERE OPENED ON THE VEHICLE YET SHE HAD NOT ENGAGED THEM.

ON MY 2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE WHILE DRIVING HOME ON I-15 THE DOOR LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH IT WAS OBVIOUS A WINDOW WAS ALSO OPEN AS THE ON RUSH OF WIND, I PULLED OVER TO FIND THE BACK DOOR WAS AJAR AND THE WINDOW WAS DOWN, I PULLED ON THE HANDLE TO CHECK IT OUT AND CLOSE THE DOOR, AND A RED LOOKING TYPE OF COIL APPROX 10 INCHES LONG WAS STICKING OUT AND LAYING ACROSS THE DOOR LOCK AND JAMMING THE DOOR LOCKING DEVICE INSIDE THE DOOR, I HAD TO SHOVE IT BACK INTO THE DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY TO GET THE DOOR SHUT. THIS RED COIL IS THE MECHANISM THAT CONTROLS THE WINDOW AS MY LEFT REAR WINDOW REGULATOR HAS FAILED AND THE WINDOW STAYS ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH ALL FOUR WINDOWS, THE LAST TIME IT WAS IN FOR REPAIR WAS 4 MONTHS AGO AND IT COST ME MONEY EACH TIME, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS CAUSED THE DOOR TO POP OPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR WINDOW REGULATOR PROBLEMS APPROX 12 TIMES. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING INTO THIS FOR ME AS THE DODGE REPS JUST SHRUG THEIR SHOULDERS LIKE THEY DON'T BELIEVE IT OR JUST DON'T CARE. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS HAZARD, LEMON LAW, NATIONAL NEWS, CLASS ACTION , SOMETHING. NEXT TIME I WILL TAKE A PHOTO , AND CALL WITNESSES. *TR
