Passenger side window stopped working and fell into door in 2005. Driver side window has now done the same thing in 2006. First time it cost me over $300 to repair, i'm sure this second time it will be the same. Obviously, there is a defective part here, since it has happened twice it is not just normal wear and tear. This problem is out there all over the internet - chrysler/jeep needs to recall and repair this…

I have had to replace both front window regulators on my 2001 grand cherokee laredo. I purchased this vehicle used with 45,000 miles on it. Both times this has happened before going away on vacations. I have a warranty with the dealership and have had to pay $100 deductible each time. From reading this site, it seems like a known problem. Don't know why there isn't a recall on these items. I have also had to replace…

I walked out of my house this morning and found that my rear passenger window had slid down leaving my 2001 jeep grand cherokee open. This is the 4th window that has done this (including one where my vehicle was parked in a public parking lot and the drivers window as i was approaching a stop light in a bad neighborhood). I filed a report when the third window dropped as well. I called chrysler both this time and…

The event leading to the window regulator braking was use of the window. The regulator failed at 32,485 miles. The window would not stay up. The jeep dealer was able to repair the problem with new parts. I have found while looking through the nhtsa website that this is yet one more example of chrysler's poor quality components that i can look forward to replacing regularly just as i have had to replace the warped…

I have had to replace all four window regulators over a period of time from april 2005-august 2007. I will be driving down the road and my window starts slowly dropping. The only way to then raise the window is to pay around $466 to replace the regulator. Chrysler customer service has been no help. *tr

The power widows fail due to a plastic part that holds the cable together. The replacement part costs $214.00 at the dealership only, and that is the whole mechanism, not just the part that breaks. I have had three of the four windows do this, and it would be nice if they could work something out so that i don't have to pay a lot of money to fix what appears to be a defective part. *jb

I left my vehicle parked to go shopping, but upon arrival back to the vehicle i saw that my passenger side front window was halfway down. Upon further investigation i realized that what was wrong with my window had happened only 6 months earlier to the drivers side front window. The regulator or wire malfunctioned/snapped. I am having to pay to fix something that shouldn't just happen to both windows. *ak

At 41000 miles just outside of the manufacturers warranty both the front passenger and drivers power window regulators failed. Like many of the others shown here, there was a pop and the window simply slid down into the door. The plastic piece that the "up" end of the cable attaches to broke on both regulators. To make matters worse the design allows the slack cable to jam up in the grooves damaging both the spool…

This is the third failure of the power window regulators. Twice on the drivers window and once on the passenger window. The first incidence was covered under warranty at no cost. The other 2 were covered under extended warranty with copays. I understand that power windows fail but to have two on the drivers side go within an 18 month period is unacceptable. After reviewing other complaints this appears to be the…
