A federal class action lawsuit claims Chrysler Group sold and leased 2002-2007 Jeep Liberties with defective window parts that cannot be repaired.
The defective Jeep Liberty class action lawsuit alleges Chrysler designed, manufactured, sold and leased 2002-2007 Jeep Liberties containing permanently defective Window Regulators that cannot be successfully repaired, despite repeated attempts to do so.
“The defective Window Regulators cause the windows in the Covered Vehicles to bind, stick, tip forward, chatter and fall to the bottom of the door. Often the windows suddenly and loudly fall or drop out of position and down into the inside of the door frames. These failures occur when the windows are in a partially or closed position. The windows also stick in all positions, including closed, partially closed and totally open. In these instances, it is impossible to move the window to open or close it further. These failures occur while the motor is off and while it is running; the failures also occur while the Covered Vehicles are standing still and while the Vehicles are being operated at all speeds,” states the Jeep Liberties class action lawsuit.
“These sudden, loud and crashing failures result in a shocking exposure to weather and debris, putting the driver and passengers, including children, at great risk of danger. Moreover, the unexpected inability to close or open a failed window poses a substantial and unacceptable safety risk for persons and property inside the vehicles. As a result of these defective Regulators, the Covered Vehicles are unfit for the use for which they were intended in that they cannot be driven safely.”
The Jeep Liberty defective window regulator class action lawsuit continues to say that since these vehicles are manufactured, marketed, advertised, sold and leased by Chrysler as “off-road” vehicles, that the defect prevents the exact use for which the Jeep Liberties were intended because the regulators sometimes fail with any jarring or an uneven roadway.
Even after vehicle owners attempt to repair the defective Jeep Liberty window regulators, the class action lawsuit claims the regulators continue to fail and break because Chrysler “merely replaces the defective parts with identical defective parts.”
The Jeep Liberty class action lawsuit is brought on behalf of a proposed class of individuals and entities nationwide who purchased or leased a model year 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty manufactured by Chrysler Group. The class action also includes a state-specific California subclass. It is asking that Chrysler promptly repair and/or replace all defective window regulators for free, award damages and restitution to class members, and provide other relief.

UPDATE: The plaintiff in this case voluntarily dismissed the Jeep Liberty class action lawsuit in February 2011, and later joined a new class action lawsuit filed by lead plaintiff Steven Doyle in April 2013. That case continues with a May 1, 2014 motion by Chrysler to dismiss. Plaintiff lawyers shot back on May 1, urging a federal judge to deny the motion.

We bought a 2004 Jeep Liberty back in 2005. Everything was working great back then. Was very happy to get a Jeep. Then, front passenger window went out in 2008. Driver-side rear window went out in 2012. Been looking for any recalls to no avail. Now, the hood latch won’t function. Seems the loop part that is attached to the hood is not aligned with the locking mechanism. Realized this when I looked at the part and saw the wear on the loop part that hits the locking mechanism shows the wear markings too far back. Made the mistake of buying a Chrysler product. Never, again.
Just purchased a 2007 Jeep Liberty. Love the car, but not so much Jeep for not honoring a defect in the electric windows. Additionally, according to posts, it gets repaired with the same defective mechanism!
My front driver and passenger windows went out and now the back windows will not operate. 2004 Jeep Liberty
Is this class action lawsuit against Jeep still active? I just had my 7th window regulator repaired yesterday to the tune of $875!!
I am the original owner of my 2007 Jeep Liberty. I just had my 7th repair on my faulty windows to the tune of $875!! I called Jeep Customer Care and was given a case # and the OK to take it to the dealer for repairs. While at the dealership, I got a call from the case manager denying the repair because it’s an 07 and the agent had no authority to authorize the claim!! I am livid! Jeep needs to do the right thing and stand behind their product!!
Years ago there were several sites selling heavy duty window clips as “regulator repair kits”. They were great, just unwind the broken plastic clip and wind the new one on the coil. I recently obtained an 03 Liberty, standard transmission, 18″ wheels, great for taking the kids to the river. Until today when I heard the plastic clip pop. I can’t seem to find anyone selling just the window clip, I’m stuck having to buy and replace the entire regular and motor.
Replaced one a few years ago and am replacing another now 20 July 2023
I have a 2003 Jeep Liberty sport 3.7L and my two back windows do not go down at all and I don’t know why but this gives me an understanding
My back window have gone out already and my front passenger a year ago and still want go all the way down, today my driverside. We can’t figure out what we can do about this one. I’ve had this jeep since the beginning and love it but I have children and grandbabies. I was going to give it to my 17 yr. old son…please contact me.
My jeep 06 problems started when my back windows regulators broke in the summer my jeep gets pretty hot in California I had them replaced and they broke again so I still have my jeep for 17 yrs I know when using plastic part’s is the problem cheap way to replace parts I wish I could get the roll up windows with handles like in the old days
Same thing with my 2007, my backs first then front passenger and TODAY driver side….. is there anything we can do?
