Replying to: spinnakerbaybe (Nov 19, 2007 5:16 am) good luck. ALSO... if you go to www.safercar.gov you can file a complaint for the NHTSA to look into a recall investigation. I just filed several for my 06 Liberty. |

Posted by Gmctd on the LOST 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. Alright… the above quote describes only half of the problem, a weak structure. The other half of the problem is that the electric windows on the Liberty (my ’05 Liberty at least) roll up with way too much force! Using my hand as a sacrificial testing device I rolled up the driver side front window…yeeoow!  These windows roll up with serious force and the force is maintained! It is a good thing that the window controls are located in the center where they are hard to reach because a child could seriously be injured by these windows if the controls were on the doors where a child can reach. I tried the same test on a Suzuki Vitara and the windows roll up with less than half of the force of the Liberty. I also tried a VW Jetta and the windows roll up a little lighter than the Vitara, detect the pressure and roll back down – so Jetta windows are pressure limited. There is no shut-off of any kind on my Liberty windows. They just roll up and stall. If I hit the switch again pressure is applied again - no shut-off. I can actually see the front door panel flex slightly from the pressure. When the window is rolled down the panel flexes again as the pressure is released.  Here’s a suggestion. When you roll up your windows release the button instantly when the window stalls at the top. Then flick the switch quickly/briefly in the other direction but not enough to activate the auto-down. You might hear (with the engine off) a slight nump (sic) as the pressure is released and the window may or may not move very slightly. Releasing the pressure might prevent your windows from failing when not in use or when you hit a bump in the road. I am suggesting this as a stop-gap measure until a real cure is found. |

Well, my Jeep goes back in for the same window on Monday. Btw, I got an Email from Chrysler too. They suggested I get another opinion at a Five Star Jeep Dealership. The dealership I use *is* a Five Star Dealership. They told me the people who answer emails are not even in the USA. Yesterday they finally admitted Jeeps have problems with windows and stained seats at the dealership. This after previously blaming the rain in my city, and saying no one on the web knew what they were talking about. I cant wait until I get rid of this thing, but right now I dont think I have a choice.

I bought a 2006 jeep lib less than a year ago , and one by one all four of them came down. I have e-mailed the company three times and called once, but because there is no recall on this they can't help me the gentelmen I spoke to on the phone told me to go to a differnt site www.chrysler listens.com He said that if enough people have the same problem and wrtie them about about it they have no choice but to recall them. It only takes a few min to do and its worth doing. Thank you for your time

My Jeep dealership said that Chrysler Listens, does no good whatsoever. In fact, they said they laugh because it is a big joke. |

Are we out of warranty at 3 years or 36000 miles? I am at 24000 now on an 06, and I just dread being out of warranty with this thing. My spouse says we will be just fine. Easy for him to say, he just bought a nice sports car type thing! and he hated taking vehicles in for repairs over and over. I see it coming down the road. I want my Hyundai, or something..... I dont know if a class action will work?

i bought my 06 liberty in january 08, it has 27,000 miles on it. one window, right passenger side, just fell down into the door, for no reason. i have a friend that does that kind of work on cars, he said it's a design flaw, it's not the motor but the regulator, a plastic "chain" like thing. he put a screw in the chain to keep the widow up for me because we were leaving for vacation. while on vacation, the other side passenger window just fell down, we caught it before it fell into the window and taped it up with clear tape to get home. i just called my jeep dealer, come to find out the dealership has a really bad reputation, alas, i have a appointment for tomorrow morning. question: is this repair, on both windows covered under the warranty? i am not working, there are no jobs in Florida now, and i can not afford to pay to have them fixed. i asked the service manager and he said he "thinks" it covered, i don't want any surprises when i go to pick it up. thank you so much for answering if you know! beachpatty
