WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD DRIVER SIDE WINDOW STARTED TO GO DOWN AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP. THE FRONT DOOR WINDOW REGULATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH THREE RETAINER DOOR TRIM PANELS. THIS COST $324. IN VIEW OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM, A RECALL SEEMS TO BE IN LINE FOR THE JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE 2001 MODEL.*AK

DRIVER'S SIDE POWER WINDOW FAILED OPERATION. IN THE PROCESS OF LOWERING THE WINDOW I HEARD A SERIES OF GRINDING SOUNDS AND STOPPED THE ACTIONS IMMEDIATELY. I THEN SOUGHT TO RAISE THE WINDOW, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. THE WINDOW IS NOW IN A FULLY OPEN POSITION AND WILL NOT RESPOND TO ANY COMMANDS. *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 AND THE CABLE. IT ALMOST SEEMS AS IF IT'S DESIGNED TO FAIL AND COMPLETELY DESTROY ITSELF. A SIMPLE FIX WOULD BE TO INSTALL METAL EYELTS ON THE ENDS OF THE CABLES AND USE SCREWS TO ATTACHED THEM TO THE LIFTING PLATE IN PLACE OF THE SOFT PLASTIC USED. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE MADE TO CORRECT THIS FOR ALL VEHICLES THAT USE THIS TYPE OF REGULATOR. *JB

CONCERNING MY OUT OF WARRANTY 2001 JEEP GRANDE CHEROKEE, SINCE JULY 2003, AND AS RECENTLY AS YESTERDAY, ALL 4 OF THE SIDE POWER WINDOWS DEVELOPED BROKEN MECHANISMS CAUSING THE WINDOW TO SLIDE INTO THE DOOR. THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A SECOND TIME SO IT LOOKS LIKE THIS PROCESS IS STARTING AGAIN. TOTAL COST FOR THESE REPAIRS ARE APPROXIMATELY $1,550.CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THESE ISSUES AND WILL NOT RECALL OR PAY RETROACTIVELY. WOULD LOVE TO RECOVER THESE COSTS FOR A VERY POORLY DESIGNED SUV.*AK

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 NORM VERSUS THE EXCEPTION. THERE MUST BE AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH SHOULD BE FIXED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. SERVICE MANAGER ADVISES THIS IS A COMMON OCCURANCE BECAUSE THE DRIVERS WINDOW GETS USED THE MOST. I HAVE OWNED OTHER VEHICLES WITH ZERO DEFECTS OF THIS NATURE.

THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ALL THE SUDDEN STARTED TO SLIP DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND WOULD NOT GO BACK UP AGAIN. I REPLACED THE POWER WINDOW ASSEMBLY FOR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW 2 MONTHS AGO COSTING ME $330. NOW MY FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW IS DOING THE SAME THING. *AK

THE FRONT, DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS THE SECOND WINDOW IN MY 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS DONE THIS WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. ALL INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND IT COSTS ABOUT $200 JUST FOR THE REGULATOR. LOOKING AT THE BROKEN REGULATOR ONE CAN SEE THAT A PLASTIC PART WHERE THE CABLE IS ATTACHED BROKE SO THE CABLE FELL LOOSE. AS AN ENGINEER I KNOW THAT PLASTIC PROPERTIES CAN VARY FROM LOT TO LOT RESULTING IN INCONSISTANT STRENGTH OR THE PART IS POORLY DESIGNED. THE THIRD PARTY REPAIR SERVICE THAT REPLACED THEM SAID HE REPLACES MORE REGUALTORS ON GRAND CHAROKEES THAN ANY OTHER CAR.*AK

THE FRONT, PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW DROPPED OFF ITS TRACK AND INTO THE DOOR. THIS IS THE THIRD WINDOW IN MY 2001 GRAND CHEROKEE THAT HAS DONE THIS WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. FIRST THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AND THEN THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW DID THE SAME THING. ALL INSTANCES HAVE OCCURRED AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION AND IT COSTS $360 TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR EACH TIME. EMAIL INQUIRIES TO CHRYSLER AFTER EACH OCCURANCE HAVE YIELDED NOTHING MORE THAN AN APOLOGY FOR MY TROUBLES. I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THE WINDOW REGULATOR, AND EXPECT THE FOURTH WINDOW TO BREAK AT ANY TIME.*AK

BETWEEN JULY 2003 AND TODAY, MY 2001 JEEP CHEROKEE LAREDO HAS "POPPED AND DROPPED" 3 WINDOWS (I.E. THE REGULATOR MOTOR BROKE AND THE WINDOW DROPPED INTO THE DOOR LEAVING ME UNABLE TO ROLL UP THE WINDOW) - FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW LAST AUGUST, THEN THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER WINDOW IN NOVEMBER, AND TODAY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT WINDOW. THE FIRST WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE, BUT THE SECOND TWO WERE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH A $100 COPAY FOR EACH INCIDENT. AVONDALE CHRYSLER JEEP IN ARIZONA COMPLETED THE FIRST TWO REPAIRS AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF REPAIRING THE THIRD INCIDENT.*AK

DRIVER SIDE WINDOW FEEL AND WOULD NOT GO UP. 23208 MILES ON TRUCK AND THE DEALER REPLACED REGULATOR, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SERVICE ORDER. ONE YEAR LATER SAME THING HAPPEN TO THE OTHER SIDE WITH 32240 MILES ON THE TRUCK. OF COURSE THIS ONE IS OUT OF POCKET EXPENCE. THIS IS WITHOUT A DOUBT MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE OF THE TRUCK AND NOT THE CONSUMER. I HAVE ALSO HAD FRONT BRAKE ROTORS CHANGED BY THE DEALER TWICE UNTIL I PURCHASED AFTER MARKET PADS AND ROTORS TO FIX THE BRAKES MYSELF. NO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES FOR TWO YEARS NOW.*AK
