WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP ON FAILING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE REGULATOR IN EACH WINDOW AT LEAST ONCE, AND 2 OF THEM HAVE BEEN REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE. I AM ABOUT TO REPLACE MY 7TH REGULATOR. 3 MONTHS AGO THE REGULATOR FAILED ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE - BACK SEAT DOOR. IT GOT ITSELF HUNG IN THE DOOR PANEL AND COULDN'T OPEN THE DOOR, SO HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE GARAGE TO GET FIXED. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST COMPLAINT, NOR THE LAST SO SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO RESOLVE THESE ISSUES. THE REGULATOR ITSELF STILL WORKED, BUT THE HOUSING THE CHAIN STAYS IN WOULD BREAK AND CAUSE THE CHAIN TO COME OUT THE DOOR PANEL, AND KNOCK THE WINDOW OFF ITS TRACK AND DAMAGE THE GLASS!

. I HAVE A 2003 JEEP LIBERTY RENEGADE WHICH I'VE HAD SINCE 2004. SINCE THAT TIME, I'VE HAD THE REAR WINDOW REPAIRED AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE WINDOW WILL FAIL ' WEATHER YOU USE IT OR NOT ' EVENTUALLY AND FALL INTO THE DOOR FRAME. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN PARKED, WHEN USING THE WINDOW OR JUST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS AGO AGAIN BECAUSE MY WIFE ROLLED THE REAR WINDOW DOWN BY ACCIDENT (I HAVEN'T USED EITHER REAR WINDOW SINCE THE LAST REPAIR DONE A FEW YEARS AGO!).

MY VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVIN ON SMOOTH OPEN HIGHWAY . THE CHILD IN THE BACK SEAT REQUESTED THE BACK WINDOW BE ROLLED UP . THIS DRIVER PROCEEDED TO DEPRESS BUTTON THAT CONTROLS THE OPERATION OF THE WINDOW IN THE BACK SEAT UP OR DOWN AND WHEN DOING SO THE WINDOW DID NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY SHUT. THIS DRIVER STOPPED TO GET GAS AND TRIED THE SWITCH ONCE AGAIN . THE WINDOW WOULD STILL NOT CLOSE ALL THE WAY . WHEN WINDOW WAS TOUCHED AT THE TOP , IT FELT LOOSE AND EASILY SLID DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND NO LONGER WORKED TO CLOSE AT ALL. DIAGNOSIS WAS MADE AT A PROFESSIONAL DEALER QUOTING $300 CLAIMING THAT THE REGULATORY SWITCH WAS BROKEN .UPON CALLING CHRYSLER WITH COMPLAINT , MY RESPONSE WAS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS AT MY EXPENSE BECAUSE A- THE VEHICLE IS OLDER AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER COULD HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM . I STRONGLY DISAGREE THAT THE AGE AND NUMBER OF OWNERS OF A VEHICLE WARRANTS DENIAL OF RECALL AND REPLACE OR THE REGULATORY SWITCH .THIS IS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM AND HUNDREDS OF OTHER PERSONS HAVE COMPLAINED THE SAME PROBLEM. CHRYSLER USED CHEAP PARTS MEANT TO BREAK WITH NO REGARD FOR ITS CUSTOMERS WHATSOEVER. IN MY CASE CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE BACK SEAT AND THIS PROBLEM DOES IMPOSE A SAFETY RISK TO CHILDREN AS WELL AS FINANCIAL BURDEN ON THE CUSTOMER. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY HAVE REMADE REGULATORY SWITCH AND MOTOR BETTER BUILT ONY WANT CUSTOMERS TO BUY IT . REGULATORY SWITCH SHOULD BE RECALLED AND RE INSTALLED JUST LIKE THE HITCH WAS , TS IS NO DIFFERENT A CHILD IS PUT AT RISK !
