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.

Window fell down and child safety lock broke out of nowhere. Passenger window wouldn’t roll up after being rolled down, too. Just bought an 07 Liberty from a dealership as a “mechanic special” but was told it had excellent maintenance history and no apparent issues. I deeply regret it already.
Driver side window regulator assembly does not work for about 5 years since I bought it and ball joints makes a noise when turning
I now have to replace my 4th regulator. Cracks me up that, in their infanite wisdom, they designed them such that WHEN they fail the glass drops down into the door letting bugs, rain, and thieves in. Piss poor.
My jeep liberty has been like this since we got it I tried to replace the regulator and can not even get to it in my 03 liberty
I have 3 windows in my car that just keep coming down the driver side stays up can I get fixed from the dealer Janice baptist
I replaced all the windows on my 2007 Jeep Liberty and the driver side is still defective. The ball joints too and I paid for these all out of pocket not recalled for these.
Hi Charlene. The ball joints have been recalled. I have found 3 recalls for them. As myself I have also replaced the ball joints, control arms now on both sides of the front end within 3 months of each other.
I just googled Jeep Liberty Recalls and they came up. Hope this helps you.
2007 Liberty. I’m about to replace it’s 3rd window regulator! Ball joints? ! Is that why it rattles at every crack on the road except while turning? Please respond to this one.
