    Have had 3 regulator's fail. Jeep is now taking responsibility, but you need to call Jeep customer service, not your dealership to get authorization.

    2006 Liberty - window regulator replaced. Estimate $250 but new redesign increased cost to $390 or I could use original replacement part but would need a new window.
    We all know this is a defectice part porblem with jeep and they refuse to acknowledge it. The parts are cheap plastic. Any word on class action suit?? If not, let's get this out in the social network environment so people know that Chrysler is a bad corporate organization with their customers.

    4th regulator in 4 years on the SAME window! Driver's side rear passenger) (once on July 2007, jan 2009, Dec 2009, and today July 2011) Chrysler denies its a problem and dealership won't cover it. (ok, to be fair, they DID cover the Dec '09 under warranty).
    I told the dealership to make the bill worthwhile, since that would be the last time Chrysler was going to get a dime outta me...not buying one EVER again!
    Don't bother calling Chrysler Complaints Dept. They know about the issue and refuse to do anything about it. the lovely lady answering the phone insisted there was no one else I could talk to and doesn't have a supervisor....

    Both rear window brackets that ride on the window rail broke and the wind would not stay up. The bracket was improperly engineered by Chrysler/Jeep. I wonder what else....

    Window made a rumbling noise and because I knew that Jeep Liberty's had this as a common problem, I kept it in up position. Took to garage who said it would cost almost $500 to fix! So I asked them to put it in locked up position, then a coworker's husband whose 2006 Jeep Liberty had same issue and Chrysler fixed it as recall item. I called Chrysler and they refused to fix mine, saying it had too many miles on it. Thanks Chrysler, this really WILL be my last Chrysler. Ball joint broke on Jeep a few years ago (another recall item) while driving. That could have been a really serious accident had I been going faster. Anyway, right now I have window duct taped up. Nice advertising for your product, Chrysler!

    Window regulators failed. VERY commmon problem from 2004 - 2007. This problem in not with the entire regulator assembly. It's with the plastic part located at the bottom of the window. They break very easy. More often then not, the motor is fine. Jeep will replace entire regulator assemble for $$$$ which will have another plastic part that will fail. How to stop this problem. Order an aftermarket part that is made of metal that will not fail. Cost is 80-100 for part and you get to do the repair. Check out the website for Steiger Performance for this part, and detailed instructions. Might as well order that part for all 4 doors, as they will ALL eventually fail. Also, check out Youtube for a video of how to do this. This part will not fail and will be the last time you have to do this. Some owners have had this part (included in the regulator assembly) replaced by Jeep more then 4 times for same window. You would think that Jeep would get this figured out, but then they are in the business to repair vehicles and take your money. Enough said.
