In owners' own words
I, like most others owning a 2006 Jeep Liberty have had several problems with the window regulators that Jeep continues to use. I have replaced two rear windows within a week costing about $1000.00 On my vehicle which has low mileage. I consider this a severe safety issue as there is no warning to when the windows fail and objects enter the vehicle at a high rate of speed which could cause a crash or death.

Continued issues with window regulators. This is the forth time the same part has broken. The two rear windows have broken and been fixed 3 times and now the front passenger side window regulator. During all of the incidents we have been driving the vehicle. Jeep knows about this issue and has many many complaints about it. Mopar knows about this issue and has changed material that they part is made out of. Visibility · reported at 1,000 miles
Driver side rear power window regulator broke 2 times within 6 months. (Same window) dropped while driving - 1st time it broke it was repaired costing me $259.52 - 2Nd time it broke I have a temp fix holding window up b/c I'm not wasting $ to fix it if it is just going to break again in 6 months.. I cant afford to keep fixing something Jeep should have recalled. This is a well known Jeep Liberty 06 problem. Visibility · reported at 12,796 miles
