TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 JEEP LIBERTY. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH IN COLD TEMPERATURES, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO CLOSE THE POWER WINDOWS BUT HEARD AN UNUSUAL SNAP WHEN DOING SO. THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW THEN BEGAN DROPPING AT AN UNUSUAL ANGLE. THE DEALER MADE REPAIRS TO THE WINDOW ACCORDINGLY. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW BEGAN TO EXHIBIT THE SAME FAILURE. THERE WERE NO FURTHER REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND THE CURRENT WAS 71,000. UPDATED 5/3/10 *CN THE LEFT FRONT WINDOW WAS STUCK AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WINDOW REGULATOR. UPDATED 06/28/10*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON 75N WITH NO WARRING MY BACK PASSENGER WINDOW MADE A LOUD GRINDING NOISE THEN JUST FELL DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. I HAD TWO PUPPIES IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHILE I WAS DRIVING THEY WERE TRYING TO GO BY THE WINDOW. DROVE 5 MILES LIKE THIS TO THE NEAREST EXIT AND WAS FORTUNATE TO FIND A TUFFY AUTO SERVICE STORE. THE WINDOW WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY REGULATOR AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE $400 TO FIX IT AND ABOUT 3 HOURS. I COULD NOT AFFORD THAT AT THE TIME, SO I DUCK TAPED PLASTIC TO THE WINDOW AND DROVE ANOTHER 2 HOURS NORTH ON 75 TO GET HOME. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND AFTER A SERVER SAFETY ISSUE! I HAVE CONTACTED JEEP/CHRYSLER'S COMPLAINT LINE AND AFTER TWO DAYS HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED A CALL BACK FROM A CASE MANAGER. I WAS ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THERE ARE CLOSE TO 200 COMPLAINTS ON THIS VERY SITUATION ON CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND THAT JEEP IS NOT BACKING THEIR PRODUCTS. I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM TO SEE HOW THIS WILL BE COVERED. THIS TRULY COULD HAVE BEEN VERY SERIOUS WITH THE DEATH OF MY DOG AND WHAT IF A BABY WAS BACK THERE. IN MANY CASES THE WINDOW'S ARE ACTUALLY SHATTERING WITH OUT WARNING AS THEY FALL. *TR
