    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    Yes, they'll fix for free. Bring it to the dealer and if they give you any static or pretend that it's an unusual problem, call corporate. It's a well documented issue.

    A/C problems with '07? Replace compressor but not a drier?

    Last summer while driving down the highway I noticed that when the compressor would kick in the belt would screech badly and you could feel a power loss. I kept telling SWMBO to bring it in to Jeep to have it checked out, but of course she didn't, she stopped complaining about it and I forgot...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    Ok, here's the (final?) resolution: Jeep fixed the window as expected. According to the service manager, the front window CLIPS were replaced, they're an updated part (Delta variant) and they shouldn't break again. He said the rears were originally replaced with new regulators/windows but...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    The metal ones folks have suggested here are $100 each. Knockoff Chinese copies are close to $40. That's a big difference. Chrysler wants us to take it in and verify my diagnosis before they offer to do anything, the dealer won't give us a loaner car unless Chrysler orders it. Other...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    I spoke to Chrysler and the dealer today, neither know what the other is doing. Chrysler shows no record of the vehicle being in since '10, while the dealer has records of us being there just a few short weeks ago. Dealer won't give us a free loaner until Chrysler authorizes it, while...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    I don't think so. My wife doesn't use her windows very often, and the one she DOES use most often is the driver's window, of course. The driver's was the last one to break. The rears broke one day apart the first time, both times while the vehicle was parked. What's stupid is that a metal...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    I put in an email this morning, but I'm sure I won't hear back from them until Monday at the minimum.

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 6th time!!! What's the record?

    We've done two on each rear and one on the front passenger side, now the driver's window dropped last night while it was raining. Fortunately I saw it and put it back into place (I use a suction cup to hold it up) before the interior got soaked. The dealer will continue to keep "fixing it"...

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 5th time!!!

    The entire regulator, I believe. I went there Saturday but couldnt' reach the manager, so he will call me tomorrow.

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 5th time!!!

    I wonder what the chances are of getting the dealer to install the part while they have it apart. :icon_confused:

    Dang window dropped AGAIN. 5th time!!!

    So far the dealer has fixed the window issue on the front passenger side once, left rear twice and now the right rear has dropped a second time. Driver's side window is original, but slow and loud. Dealer won't swap it out until it actually breaks. Today my wife worked a 13 hour day and came...

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    OK! Got the scoop. Dealer replaced the upper control arms and lower ball joints, along with the sway bar bushings. No links, just bushings. The tech had something out of whack, and that's why it wouldn't align and he thought the other parts were bent. They figured out what was out of...

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    Yep. Only had em check out a light clunk over bumps. I'll update tomorrow after hopefully finding out more.

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    I trust the Jeep, just not a hundred percent sure there won't be an undiscovered issue. Yes, definitely more to the story here, hopefully I can find out tomorrow. What kind of force would be required to bend a spindle and knuckle? I can't imagine damage like that for THREE years...

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    The Jeep's not ready yet. Spoke to the service writer who tried to tell me that the arms were replaced because they were old. 2007 is old? My '87 Buick has original control arms, bushings and ball joints and comparable mileage and dont' make any noise. Either way, after replacement they...

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    My concern is that if these all went bad after 40k, are they gonna go bad AGAIN in another 40k when it's not under warranty? Are the ball joins not replaceable on the control arms individually?

    Upper and lower control arms bad!?

    Brought the wife's '07 to the stealership today to have the window repaired (again). They DID cover that under warranty, fortunately. I told them that the front end had a light clunk over bumps, both sides. They called me back and said that both upper and lower controls arms on both sides are...
