The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Liberty. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the ABS and traction control lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who replaced the entire wiring harness but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 65,000.
Glass lift plate& motor have both given out at least twice in less than 2 years. It costs over $200 to have the dealer fix it. The window just falls for no reason. Come on we need a break. I don't know about the rest of the world but when I have to pay to fix something and it is very expensive I expect quality.

When placing the key in the ignition no crank, no start, wiring harness and central sending unit replaced, and returned to me 2/28/2014 a Friday afternoon upon receipt or SUV from dealership repair returned home will not shift out of park and dash lights illuminate ie esp and antiskid it appears as though the car does not recognize the key and will not allow the car to shift from park care returned to for repair 03/03/2014 apparently some type of relay and sensors have malfunctioned and "smoked" per the dealer in the dash and steering column.
The front wiper and rear wiper stopped working simultaneously. Checked and replaced fuses but did that did not fix the problem. Was told by a mechanic that it is an electrical problem and will cost quite a bit to find/replace the issue.

Three power windows, driver, passenger and back passenger side have gone out due to motor failure. One was replaced but the window still tilts when lowered and raised. All three windows had same issue prior to failing. Apparently this is a widespread problem and I am beginning to wonder why there is no recall.
The ABS control module alerts there is a problem with the ABS system randomly while driving. We were told there is a recall F50, NHTSA campaign id #06V49300, regarding this from our local mechanic. We had the vehicle serviced on 07/30/2012 at a authorized Jeep service center dealership regarding this problem, module and associated wiring were replaced at our cost. This didn't fix the problem. We didn't resolve the issue any further until now, since we were not satisfied with our experience at this service center dealership. Today we contacted another local authorized Jeep service center dealership and the daimler Chrysler recall center regarding the N46 recall [gasoline storage tank assembly/hitch] and the previous F50 recall. Both said the F50 recall is not associated with for our VIN. However, after doing some further investigation on the NHTSA website it seems the F50 recall is assigned to 2007 Jeep Liberty 2wd only. Therefore, it appears that this may be the reason our vehicle is not eligible for the is recall and we must now pay out of pocket again to fix this major safety hazard. We have schedule an appointment with an authorized Jeep service center dealership for them to reprogram the ABS electronic control unit per the remedy assigned to NHTSA campaign id #06V49300 at our own expense. The purpose of this complaint is to notify you that this problem is also on the 2007 Jeep Liberty 4X4wd and if you could please correct/add 4X4wd VIN numbers to this recurring problem so that possibly we may be eligible for reimbursement from Chrysler. Thank you for looking into the matter. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
In 2010 I purchased a used 2007 Jeep Liberty from a dealership. Within the first month of the purchase the mechanism inside the front driver's side door broke causing the window to drop into the door rendering it unusable. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they repaired the mechanism for free. In 2012 the same mechanism in the same door broke again. This time I was told that this is a common occurrence but was forced to pay for the repair myself as Jeep has not yet recalled the mechanism. Yesterday, December 21, 2013 the mechanism broke again this time in the front passenger side door. I have called the dealership again but have not yet scheduled a time to fix the unit. I do not feel as if I should have to pay for this repair as it is an on-going issue and obviously a defective product.
I was driving back to salisbury, md from Washington DC when I heard wind coming into my Jeep. I checked all my windows in be sure they were up but the noise continued. When I visually checked the windows I found the driver side rear window all the way down. I pulled over to check it and found that the window would not roll back up electrically. I had to drive 3 hours with the back driver's side window down. I had this window repaired for the same thing 2 years ago and now again. Just this year in April I had to spend money to fix the driver side window due to the same problems. And each time it was the regulator and only once did Jeep refund me my money. The other problems is the gas. When the Jeep is full it doesn't cut off, the gas spills all down the side of the car regardless.
I bought my Liberty when it was a year old from a dealer. One month later, the drivers side window fell into the door. It was still under warranty, the dealer fixed it with new parts. A year ago in June 2012 the rear window dropped into the door. The rear windows are never even used. I had to pay a mechanic to raise it up and hold it up with duck tape because the regulator and repair is going to cost over $400!!the window would slowly start to drop before it finally went into the door completely when I was driving and the noise from the outside was so loud I thought I was having a flat tire and had to pull over. Not to mention the constant attention I had to pay to make sure the window was still being held up with the awful looking duct tape! so angry and disappointed with Chrysler. I read online of so many other owners having this same problem. I could never risk putting a child back there because of this risky problem.

I own a 2007 Jeep Liberty sport, with no warranty. A few months ago, the rear, driver side window regulator and motor went bad and I had to replace this out of pocket. What is more frustrating is that this has happened to my driver front widow now. Since my last repair, larry H. miller Jeep in sandy Utah has inflated the price of the part. They are very aware of the need of this faulty part and are taking advantage of customers. I now have no window (it is cracked inside my door and I am not in financial position to replace it). It is approximately 30 degrees in my state right now, this is almost unbearable. I have also owned a 2006 Jeep Liberty prior to this and the rear driver window regulator and motor also went out. I also had to replace this at my cost. This makes three times for the same part! I am asking for a recall and for the dealership to replace this at no additional cost to me. I feel it is already unfair that they provide a bad part, but even worse that they inflated the price part recently and are taking advantage of consumers. This is also unsafe, I have to drive with a garbage bag to my window which blocks my line of sight, but is the only way to keep dry in this fall/winter weather. Please help me, I am at a loss right now and this is my only means of transportation. The dealership's number for where I purchased the vehicle is: (866) 653 3505. Thank you again. Thank you
When going to put the drivers window down, I accidentally pushed the switch for the back seat window behind the driver's seat. When I hit the switch it made a funny noise. So, I left the window alone with plans to get it fixed. The window was up at this point. I went to work and when I returned to my car at the end of the day, the window was all the way down. I attempted to put it up using the switch and it made the same funny noise.
The rear passenger window regulator failed and the window dropped. It is currently being held in place with zip ties as the repair will be about $300. Both the passenger and driver front windows are slow to go back up and come off track. You have to pull them towards the back of the car to get them back up. I expect both to fail soon. I have read numerous complaints about this very issue.
This is my 5th time in 4 years! having to bring into the dealer to have the window fixed. Malfunctions and break down of electric window motors or regulators.
Random events of the electronic throttle control lamp flashing and the traction control lamp illuminating. The vehicle would stall to a rough idle or loss of power and an inability to accelerate. On occasion the vehicle would die and would not restart. This occurred while driving at speeds of 65 mph in heavy traffic on hot spring days. The manufacture has not been able to correct the problem after five attempts.
Rear window fell down and does not stay up, used a device to keep from falling down, 1 week later the other one fell down. Took to repair shop and was told the regulator was bad on both windows and needs to be replaced along with the window also. The reason for this is because the regulators were redesigned and it will cost over $800 to repair and was told the problem could happen again. No old parts are available have to put in new parts. The consequences of not repairing are the window can come down and someone can get in your car, the other solution is to have it fixed so it cannot fall down until you get the money to replace it.
Left rear window failure up or down; driver's side window still works but catches. It appears that someone didn't do their job in quality control in making the equipment that regulates the windows. Which makes one wonder if there aren't other parts not up to standard. Chrysler needs to replace at their cost.
