Hello everyone, I too have the same problem with the rear windows in my 2004 liberty. Going on thursday to have my 5th window fixed!!!! And of course with the big 3 year/36000 mile warranty up Ill have to fork over the 375 again, I mean the extended warranty will!!!!! Youd think after they spent almost 2000 in repairs for the same thing theyd speak up????? This is the only issue I have with the liberty!

It really is rust from iron dust created by the trains that settles on the paint and oxidizes. A clay bar should get rid of it although you can ask over in the Paint and Body Maintenance & Repair discussion for more details.
 
Sherwin-Williams has an interesting link about it.

Whiteaz58....are you in the PHX area and if so, what dealership did you purchase your Jeep from? I'm wondering if we combine forces here, maybe we can appeal to Damler and see what can be done for the chronic window problems.

We live in Phx AZ and we have had replace our 2004 Jeep Liberty driver's side rear window regulator 4 times and the passenger side rear window regulator 2 times. It is an ongoing problem. The dealership today told us that it is only a problem in AZ because it is hot and caused by the heat and that Chrysler will not recall because it is only happening AZ.
 
We were also told that Chrysler does not have an email address -- if someone has one -- we would also like to join in and email them regarding this. The dealership told us to crack the window down and/or clean a "film" that appears on it every once in a while. This is ridiculous and is something that Chrysler should be accountable for...one service rep asked if we considered buying a new vehicle.
 
We're are so glad we found this forum -- at least we know that we are not the only ones (and not only in AZ) having this problem.

dmaru,
Welcome to the Jeep Liberty Power Windows Suck Forum! It is quite evident that this problem is across the US and not just in AZ like you and I have been told. I hope to be able to print out this entire thread and present it to Damlier somehow someway. I'm doing well to just make my car payment every month and can't even fathom having to pay for regulators on a regular basis or allowing my car to be exposed to the elements because I can't put up my windows. I even met a Liberty owner who has told me that she won't even roll down her windows anymore because she's afraid that they won't go back up and she can't afford to have to pay for repairs. I've even thought about printing up business cards that direct Liberty owners to log on and present their case on this thread. I would give these cards to any Liberty owner that I meet at gas stations or parking lots or put them on windshields of Liberty's. This way people won't feel like they're alone with this expensive glitch of owning a Liberty.

This seems to be the salient post on this topic by gmctd on another forum:
 
Problem being, they don't screw the threaded plastic end into the threaded channel far enuff, or they do and further handling results in it backing out by at least one full thread, prolly caused by the natural curvature of the flex-shaft - I de-riveted the replacement for the required correction - maybe it'll hang awhile.
 
Gmctd is one of the more knowledgeable posters on the LOST forum. There is also mention on other forums about a class action lawsuit against VW for a similar problem where VW lost the suit and had to reimburse customers and extend the warrantee on the window mechanism. I have not verified this for myself. Apparently someone came up with a cheaper way to construct window regulators and it's not such a great idea after all.
 
Why cut corners on something a fundamentally important as windows? But wait, DC took a similar risk on ball joints that are even more important to function and safety over the objection of top Chrysler engineers.

I'm in the Phoenix area as well with an 04 Jeep Liberty. I just went and had my 8th window regulator replaced. 6 for the left rear, 1 for the right rear, and 1 for the right front.
 
I shared my sentiments with Chrysler just for a place to vent. Essentially nothing came out of it other than the fact it is "documented" now.

I've had two go bad on my 2006, one I never even used.
Went to have the second one repaired and requested that every single window be fixed and inspected. Which they did.

I took my Liberty in today for the transmission and power window. The driver's side window makes a lot of noise going up and down and gets caught on something half way up. Is this the problem others are having?

My back window (which no one ever used), got stuck halfway down.
A few months later my driver's side front window did the same, and you just about couldnt get it to go back up.
I still had warranty, so I insisted every window be fixed.
Guess what? Now the driver's side window is messing up again. It's only been a couple week.
The Hyundai is looking better all the time.........
