In August 2006, my 2005 Jeep Liberty rear window behind the driver started to slip. It was under warranty, so they fixed it. A month later, the same thing happened and had to be repaired. In October 2007, it happened again and fixed, but it was intimated that they were doing me a "favor" by not charging me to fix it a third time. So, this morning, the same thing happened. I collected my past paperwork and went to the local Jeep dealer. I was told this is a serious problem and they've had 500 of them so far this year (in fact,the Jeep Liberty ahead of me in line had the same problem). He said they have a "new fix" for them because the manufacturer was at fault. They located the part and will fix it tomorrow. HOWEVER, the service manager then told me my warranty was up. I asked him, what does this have to do with this problem. You've "fixed" it three times and it's still broken. He changed his tune and told me not to worry, he'll get me out of there tomorrow without my having to pay anything, he just wanted me to know that my warranty was up. Right, and if I had taken the bait, I'd have to pay for it. DON'T BACK DOWN, this should be a recall item. Chrysler needs to pay for ALL these shoddy repairs. |

After experiencing my own window woes for almost a year, I finally gave up and in and took my Jeep into the service center - having to get out the duct tape was a definite motivator when 2 windows fell and a 3rd didn't roll up right. I was expecting the possibility of paying and was prepared to kick up a fuss. As it turns out I didn't have the slightest issue beyond having to wait for the parts to be ordered. They are replacing all 4 window parts. Chrysler HAS sent out an action memo to their service departments that tells them to replace all parts for the Jeeps that come in. It IS something they are now covering under their warranty. The oh so nice man at the desk, unbelievably, hadn't encountered the issue before which might have lent itself toward his willingness to show me the notice that he'd just printed out while they were taking a look at it. All in all, its costing me nothing for them to replace the parts for all 4 windows and only 3 (ha) were having a problem. From what I read in that notice from Chrysler no one should have to pay a deductible or anything else as long as its under warranty and they should be replacing everything for all your windows. If you're told otherwise you might want to tell them to call Chrysler and stand there while they do so. |

Has the window problem been fixed on 2008 and 2009 models? I am considering buying a new left over 2008 Liberty. what other problems plague these vehicles?

Same deal - windows dropped down in door and jeep out of warranty. I called a local Jeep service center who gave me the phone number to Chrysler - 1-800-992-1997. I told him what was wrong, very nicely and mentioned my expectations were the window be fixed at no charge. Was transferred to supervisor who put me on hold and called the service center. The parts are being ordered and should be fixed tomorrow for a $50 co-pay. Basically they are extended my expired warranty for this one repair. I'll take that for now. All in all, took less than 30 minutes to set this all up and I'm happy enough until the other 3 fall down! Lol. Life happens! |

Replying to: p100 (Apr 10, 2009 4:23 am) From an engineers perspective, there is an obvious design flaw. My employer has paid over $1,000,000 to fix problems in my designs. This is not a bad investment considering they have made over $25,000,000 profit on these same products. Our customers come back. Why won't Daimler/Chrysler do so? The sad thing is they could probably fix it by switching to a different plastic in their molds but their engineering team is not capable of fixing this issue. So far this year, I have replaced 2 window regulators in my daughters 2006 Jeep liberty. |
