Liberty

  • 43,000 miles
The driver's side window on my 2008 Jeep Liberty fell down a few days ago. When I brought it in to get fixed, I was told that this was a common problem and, because of that, the part had been redesigned and I would now need a new window as well, totaling over $800. My warranty just elapsed less than 6,000 miles ago. I was also told that this would likely be recalled eventually but that doesn't help me while my window is being held up with duct tape because I don't have an extra $800 to fix it at the moment.

Purchased used Jeep Liberty for my daughter. 2008 model with 25,000 miles. Had Jeep 1 year and 2nd window motor just went out while on vacation. Stopped at mech. Shop on vacation to get window up until I could get home and he said his son had 3 go out. Talked to 2 people at hotel who had their window tapped up for same thing. Looking on internet I am amazed on the number of complaints. How many have to break before Jeep makes this good?

A part for the power windows fails due to pressure on it(according to the service manager) allowing the window to drop. This has occurred on three of the four windows now (the third happened today) I come out of work and the window is down. Fortunately the weather was good during these occurrences. And no one apparently noticed as the walked by it. I have asked them to replace the fourth one while they are doing the third but they said they couldn't fix it until it breaks. I told them that I am tired of taking off work to get this fixed. This car is only two years old. They told me it happens all the time. I can't take a chance that someone won't see it down and get in.
