Jeep Liberty Visibility Power Window Devices And Controls Safety Report | Sept 01, 2012
Reported on Sept 01, 2012
| WHILE DRIVING A PASSENGER ON THE REAR LEFT SIDE OF MY CAR ATTEMPTED TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. WE THEN HEARD A POP AND THE WINDOW WAS HALF WAY DOWN AND BEGAN TO FALL. WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE WINDOW FROM FALLING INTO THE DOOR. THE MOTOR CONTINUED TO SOUND AS IF IT WAS WORKING BUT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE WINDOW TO GO UP OR DOWN. APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS LATER THE REAR RIGHT SIDE WINDOW WAS BEING ROLLED DOWN AND WE AGAIN HEARD A POPPING SOUND AND THE WINDOW AGAIN WOULD NOT ROLL UP OR DOWN. AFTER RESEARCH IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND DUE TO HAVING TWO OUT OF FOUR WINDOWS ON MY CAR ALONE EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM IT SEEMS VERY STRANGE TO ME THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AS A RECALL AND IS COSTING OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES OVER $400 PER WINDOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE RISK OF SOMEONE BREAKING IN TO A VEHICLE AND ALSO THE RISK OF THE WINDOW FALLING AND BREAKING PUTTING ANYONE IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE VEHICLE AT RISK OF INJURY, INCLUDING MY DAUGHTER. *TR | |
