THE WINDOW REGULATORS NEED TO BE RECALLS. THE FIRST ONE TO GO WAS THE DRIVERS WINDOW REGULATOR. COST OVER $500.00 WITH PARTS AND LABOR. THE PLASTIC PART IN THE REGULATOR BROKE AND THE WINDOW WENT DOWN IN THE DOOR. MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO ORDER THE PART ON LINE FOR $200 AND FIX IT HIMSELF. THE SECOND WINDOW REGULATOR TO GO WAS THE DRIVERS REAR PASSENGER WINDOW. AS I WAS DRIVING THE WINDOW KEPT INCHING DOWN. HAD TO STOP 3 TIMES ON THE WAY HOME TO PULL THE WINDOW UP SO IT WOULDN'T FALL INTO THE DOOR,TAPED IT UP TILL I GOT HOME. AGAIN THE WINDOW REGULATOR SOMETHING BROKE INSIDE THE PART. ORDERED ANOTHER REGULATOR ON LINE AND HAD TO HAVE MY HUSBAND FIT IT. IF YOU GO TO CARCOMPLAINS.COM YOU WILL SEE MANY OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR IN MY RR WINDOW THREE TIMES SO FAR AND THE LR ONE JUST BROKE. JEEP IS SAYING IT ISN'T UNDER RECALL AND OFFER NO HELP TO REPLACE IT. THE FEE TO REPLACE THE CRAPPY PLASTIC PIECE IS $50 IF I MANAGE TO RIP APART MY CAR DOOR OR $185 IF JEEP DOES IT. I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE SINCE I'VE LOOKED THIS PARTICULAR ITEM AND MODEL UP SEVERAL TIMES.

WE HAVE HAD TWO BROKEN WINDSHIELDS IN OUR JEEP COMMANDER AND NOW ARE ABOUT TO FIX OUR THIRD BROKEN WINDSHIELD. EVEN THE SMALLEST STONE BREAKS THE WINDSHIELD. WE THINK IT IS BE CAUSE OF THE ANGLE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS AND HAS BEEN EXTREMELY COSTLY. WE ARE SATISFIED WITH THE CAR EXCEPT FOR THIS MAJOR DEFECT. *JB
